Blue Jays: Ricky Romero makes first start of the season
When it became clear last season that Ricky Romero’s struggles were more than just a slight dip in form, a lot of media speculated that he needed to get off Twitter and concentrate all of his efforts into his pitching.
To be fair, Romero took note this spring, with March 12th representing the last time he tweeted anything. Until yesterday.
To be fair, it was with good reason, as the former sixth overall draft pick makes his first start of the season tonight against the Seattle Mariners:
I’m not sure how much the big guy upstairs had to do with Romero getting another chance, especially when you’re up against Felix Hernandez. Regardless, it’ll be good to see the 28-year old back on the mound.
According to reports, Romero has shown significant progress in his pitching mechanics and overall body language. However, I’m sure he’ll welcome all the help he can get, so let’s send some positive vibes and good karma his way and hope for a return to his pre-2012 form:
In fact, a performance similar to his first outing in 2011 would do just nicely:
