Tires of having clenched cheeks when he comes in during a tie game.

    I think he’s been walked off 7 times in 41 appearances this season. 5 of those 7 times were non-save situations. He also blew one win.

    Blue Jays have won 34/41 (83%) games Jordan’s appeared in. His save rate, as @[email protected] mentioned, is 26/29 (90%). If my math’s right, that means the Jays have won 8/12 (67%) of times Jordan’s appeared in non-save situations.

    The Jays have been walked off 4 times this year, and Romano is behind 3 or the 4:
    -Game 21 - Sat, Apr 22 - Tor @ NYY (Romano)
    -Game 29 - Mon, May 1 - Tor @ BOS (Romano)
    -Game 37 - Wed, May 10 - Tor @ PHI (Mayza)
    -Game 98 - Fri, Jul 21 - Tor @ SEA (Romano)

    I think he’s a great closer, but he has difficulties with non-save situations. Last night’s L was on our offence though, IMO. There is no margin for pitching error when we have only 2 runs. If we’d managed to put up more runs, Yusei might not have got the early hook either

      Agreed. The pitching has been quite good. Tough to hang games like this on Romano, when we runs seem to be either feast or famine.
