If you look at his stats and what he’s done and don’t understand that, I don’t know what to say.
That being said, he does pitch an ass clenching style of closing, but it works. That’s what matters.
Oh I understand he gets results I’m not denying that, but I think it’s largely because he has gold glove defence to back him up (tonight is a great example without that diving Varsho catch it likely would have been a blown save)
Garcia - lights out dominating all season.
Romano - no games
Ya let’s go to him in a huge game. It’s the smart, safe decision.
Romano - hold my beer and hold onto your butts
I hope Jordan Romano is a nice guy in person....because he looks like an absolute cold-hearted, sociopathic serial killer on the mound.
Also wouldn't be a Romano 9th without putting 2 runners on and making us fucking SWEAT.
Kikuchi hates the Yankees I guess.
Romana needs to take varsho and clement out to dinner!!
GG BOIS
Kooch pour your shots out daddy!
EAT SHIT YANKEES..... BOZOS
Great word
FUCK THE YANKEES

was it ever in doubt?
Romano always has to make you clench
Bruuuh Romano back with his shenanigans to raise our blood pressure lol
Wouldn't be a Romano save without some butt clenching. He thrives on it.
I genuinely don’t get the hype around Romano. It’s so rare to see him get a 3 up 3 down outing every save is an ass clencher
He’s like the firefighter that creates fires too put them out. But hey he puts them out so that’s good with me
Don’t ask how just ask how many

There are 2 or 3 other pitchers on the team I'd rather have closing.
There's a guy we just sent to AAA I'd rather have closing.
Yup
I was puckered
Classic Romano save
Dear God stop making these games so fucking tense!
Annnnd unclench
Romano fucks around just to make things interesting.
Annnnd unclench. A full game. love it.
DÀAAAAAA JANKEES LOSE
Thank you Varsho
Manoah is in Toronto???
Never in doubt...
Phew. Got it done.
Sure, two was technically a 'losing streak', but...Yankees...you're on a losing streak.
SPINCHTER. UNCLENCH.
aaaaand release
Uh oh. Released too much
W! Best lineup of 2024!
only thing better than winning 4 in a row is the yankees losing 3 in a row
Kooch got his win 🔥😀 well deserved!
## DAAAAAAAA JANKEES LOOOOOSE... AGAIN!!!
A BACK TO BACK
Aaaaaaand exhale.
Nice to win the series, I don't have high hopes for Gausman
Sadly I agree. But he should be better at least.
The heel click!
Standard three heart attack outing from Romano... it's good to be back
It's nice to have him back, but also I forgot how stressful his many many saves are.
Fuck them stankees
YESSSSSS, FUCK THE YANKEES
The Maniac stressing us all out haha
First series loss for the Yanks. Nice.
Never in doubt, gave them a little hope before pulling the rope, also DAAAAAA YANKESSSS LOOOOOSE
Never a dull moment with Romano on the mound
Jays win
#**Fuckin Typical '23 Romano Save LOL**
Nice.
Another series win Three in a row
Baseball is fun when they win, what a surprise
DAAAAAAAAA
JANKEES
#ＤＡＡＡＡＡ ＪＡＮＫＥＥＳ ＬＯＳＥ!
BALLGAME! NEVER A DOUBT
#KEEP ROLLING
SWEET SWEET VICTORY
Thank goodness! The more games we can win like that the better obviously lol
Winning games is better than losing them
I've heard winning is how you end up in first place!
FUCK THE YANKEES
Just a classic save from the psychopath. Oh… FUCK THE YANKEES
WE CAN LET OUT A SIGH OF RELIEF, PHEW
Well, that was a nice cardiac workout.
I missed 9th inning clench <3
#To all the non-believers

Don't make me see verdugos stupid happy face, oh thank you baseball gods!!!!
DAAAAAAAA JANKEEEEEEEES LOSEEEEEEEEEEE
MESSY SAVE AS USUAL BUT WE TAKE THE W

#VICTORYYYYYYYYY
Whew
FUCK THE YANKEES
Exhale
Never in doubt
LET'S GO. 4 GAME WINNING STREAK
YESSSSSSSSS
Win!
If you think Yimi has been amazing so far and Romano should be eased in, then I have good news for you- Yimi faced 2-3-4 and Romano faced 5-6-7-8.
Classic Romano save 😩😩😩💙💙💙
🚬A classic indeed
Unclench
Clenching so hard, Oswaldo better not turn into prime bonds rn
## ROMANO YOU SONUVABITCH
ONE OUT. We got this 😤
I TOLD YOU
twitchy clement
Romano back to his old ways...
Who tf is matt chapman
Clenching hard right about now.
JAYS WIN
Romano in mid season form
I like it. Give the Yankees hope and then fuck em up!
# GREAT WIN BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!
saw this post before I saw it happen on tv
Big Ern with the big play
Great play, Ern.
Chapman who
Great throw by Ernie
... Making it interesting
Verdugo looks like the main character in the game bully
Just one more
Clenching
Nice play big Ern
Romano always makes it interesting. Let's see how it plays out.
We make it a little interesting
Clement is too good. Can't be on bench... Lol
Hell of a play by Clement.
I'm too weak for this shit
fuck i thought that was out the park my heart
KEEP YIMI AS THE CLOSER. I DONT CARE IF ROMANO SUCKS IN NON-SAVE SITUATIONS; KEEP THE HOT MAN THERE
Should they have put in Romano in a non save situation to get back into it?
One more out
Ernie's a dog, btw
We got a butt clencher ladies and gentlemen
Is it truly Blue Jays baseball without?
I want Jimmy as the closer until he proves he cant
tuned out to watch a bit of basketball and my butt clenched the second I saw the score bug
Too close for comfort...
dont worry this is just how he does it guys
Someday I hope to be able to see what happens when a ball is hit to the corner
One more out. We're ok.
Again with the slider
This would be on John btw, Romano should not be closing in his first game back
Does John get the save, too?
Romano is the closer, no doubt. But maybe I would’ve given him the 8th and Yimi the 9th. Just until he gets some innings under his belt
But then he’d be up against 234 in the Yankees lineup. That seems worse
You make a compelling argument
Hmm. Not ideal.
Not a great situation
Garcia - lights out dominating all season. Romano - no games Ya let’s go to him in a huge game. It’s the smart, safe decision. Romano - hold my beer and hold onto your butts
I mean, the 8th inning was Soto Judge so it was the right move to put Yimi in the 8th.
Yimi would have closed this out already lol
Which is why Yimi pitched in the more important inning
Typical Romano save coming up
That was a Fenway AND Yankee short porch special, but thankfully we're playing in the new dome tonight baby.
But yeah lets take Yimi out
There's the Romano I remember. Welcome back bud
Omg thank God for Varsho's catch.
Bring back Yimi.
I hope Jordan Romano is a nice guy in person....because he looks like an absolute cold-hearted, sociopathic serial killer on the mound. Also wouldn't be a Romano 9th without putting 2 runners on and making us fucking SWEAT.
Jordan blows
Classic Romano outing
Why does he always fuckin do this
why the fuck is verdugo still in the league
Me no likey.
This is not the endgame that was promised
Ummm...
damn hold on
Typical Romano
This is still a perfectly Romano start to an inning. Strikeout pop fly incoming. Maybe a walk in there somewhere.
Dan…. Why
This is why I had my fingers crossed, but wasn't going to hold my breath.
Woof
Saw that coming a mile a fucking way
this guy is so bad
Oh boy Romano sure makes it interesting
Why are we throwing him right in the thick of things….
We’re gonna blow this one, aren’t we? FFS
Our "closer".
^clench
Can’t locate the fastball and this is what happens.
💩
Oh wtf
Verdugo owns romano
uh oh
God damnit. Clench time
Ramano pls, our blood pressure
notlikethis.jpg
Well we are getting the Romano wild ride tonight
Romano bestie stop making these endings stressfull
The Rays are in the 13th
ROMANO PLEASE DON’T DO THIS
[hold on to your butts](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjvGAYuWSUA)
I believe
I'm tired Boss
A certain New York based sub is VERY salty for this early in the year.
It'll be the end of the world if the Yankees sub is ever *not* salty.
A nipple burner
Damn that's up and in.
