2024 Game Eighteen: Blue Jays 5, Yankees 4

 

The "N" is for romaNo

Jordan Romano's first inning of the season didn't go all that smoothly, but it didn't really have to, given all of the excellent pitching that preceded him (Kikuchi, Richards, and of course our the absolute lad Yimi Garcia). Romano has been simply excellent as a closer for us for several seasons now, and I have every expectation that that will continue, but I really do not care for his first innings of the season to be ticklish ninth innings! It just doesn't make that much sense to me! But whatever; it's obviously fine. Also fine: the Vladdy is still hitting a lot of grounders, so long as every now and then one of them is a two-run single right up the middle. That's the kind of grounder we like to see, Vladdy; let's keep it up!
