pimpcurtly Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Say what one more time! Agree with the injuries. Morrow was a huge hole that couldn't be filled. Bautista's was near the end but we need him healthy all year. I even hate to say it, but I'm hoping Lawrie isn't going to be injury plagued . Already has a few this early in his career. But the big shocker was Romero. I couldn't believe how far he fell last year. Let's hope he finds his game again. If Dickey can even come close to the same numbers he put up last year, he will be the ace the Jays have been looking for. Yes Romero took strides backwards last year. Not at all what I was expecting. Really hope he can turn it around and have a good season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 The way Romero played during the last half... If he's that bad during Grapefruit, I can see him getting thrown out of the rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gross-Misconduct Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 I know it still means nothing but nice to see 17 runs on the board for the Jays yesterday. Now let's stop these meaningless games and get the season started already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Please Call 911 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Die hard Mariners fan here, however I must give credit when credit is due. The Jays looks really really good, like deadly good this season. Finally starting to put out a lineup that can compete with the powerhouse AL East teams! You've got 3 all star hitters and 3 all star pitchers. Not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

:D Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Lotta talk the last few days... Is Romero still the fifth starter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I'd say so, but the more he struggles this preseason and the better Happ does, the shorter Romero's leash will be come the regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoast Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 They should put Romero in the minors and recall him as soon as he gets his act together . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avicii Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 What happened to Romero? Our Ace for the last couple of years, and now isn't even pitching at minor league level. Jeez, this guy randomly out of nowhere started to suck really really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gross-Misconduct Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 I love the Blue Jays promo on Sportsnet. I thought Jose Reyes was saying "It's coke". Apparently he's saying "Lets go" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFCanuck Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Ricky Romero is a classic case of an athlete getting a big payday and then going downhill. At least they have Happ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g_bassi13 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Woah. They're really going full rebuild on Romero here. This is like what they did with Roy Halladay, except Halladay was 4 years younger when it happened to him, I believe. The guy was not just pitching kinda poorly last season, but rather he was absolutely dreadful. He completely lost whatever it was he had going for him. And that continued into Spring Training this year. Last week they tried to mess around with his delivery, and he was torched even harder than he was earlier. I think the decision is for the best since he's shown no sign of getting back on track, and I suppose the hope is that he responds even half as well as Halladay did to the whole thing. It's just that the whole thing is surprising. Didn't expect him to be optioned down, let alone all the way to single A. But I think by the end of the season it will have shown to be a good call. Ricky Romero is a classic case of an athlete getting a big payday and then going downhill. At least they have Happ. If the implication here is that he simply stopped trying, I don't agree with the notion. Rather something else here went very wrong. And now they've given themselves a year to figure out what exactly it is, and how to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gross-Misconduct Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Romero's downfall last year was incredible but I thought he would bounce back. Maybe not to the all-star level he was once at but at least to a decent starter. But man, A ball?? I think the problem is all between his ears. You shouldn't fall that hard that quickly.
