It Appears as Though We Mushed Jordan Romano
Published:
We threw up a brief shitpost on Monday noting that Jordan Romano had a 0.00 ERA with 0 allowed hits across his first six Angels appearances. Sure enough, a few hours later, he blew his first save of the season:
He allowed three runs on three hits and walked two batters while throwing 25 pitches in the bottom of the ninth. His ERA has increased from 0.00 to 5.40.
Nothing against Romano, to be clear. We’re not going after the guy. It didn’t work out for him in Philadelphia as he returned from injury. He looked pretty solid to begin his career in Anaheim, where there are no expectations and nobody cares. It’s just one of those classic cases where a guy leaves town and then transforms into Mariano Rivera overnight, or so we thought, but it appears as though Romano has disembarked from the Artemis II space craft and returned to Earth.
We mushed Romano. Put us in the bathroom. Leave us in there:
