Yes....regardless it was a good contract at the time, who knew he'd fall off a cliff.

 

Exactly. Any GM would have happily extended Ricky with that contract.

This Romero thing is one of those things that happen and is probably nobody's fault. Signing Romero and Morrow looked like a good thing to do as they tried to build a starting rotation around them. They also signed Jose Bautista, Adam Lind to reasonably good contracts so they were trying to take that core and build a team around them.

 

Without the Romero Meltdown, the starting rotation would've been in better shape last season and there's a chance they wouldn't have been as desperate for starting pitching which may have prevented them from making the trades they made...who knows.

Didn't see this posted but another poor outing for Romero on the 4th. 6IP 9H 2BB 3SO.

 

He now has 30K/36BB in Buffalo.

I think I would be more confident in Romero if I heard he would stop pitching now and spend the next 8 months on the Delabar program... Don't ask me why.

I don't see that helping his command. That's the problem, not his arm strength or velocity.

Something has to give, pitching in game situations clearly isn't helping. He needs more coaching, though the "Velocity Program" doesn't seem to target his particular issues. I'd put him on the program (because I want everyone in the system to have heavy balls!) but it's going to have to be coupled with other stuff.

To me, players know that he's having hard time throwing strikes so anything low they know will hit the dirt so they don't touch it. If you give him more velocity it might help his fastball and in turn help with his breaking balls.

Plausible.

 

The truth? No one knows what to do with Ricky right now.

It couldn't hurt. No one can say for sure the velocity program helps..... but my god am I tempted to say it for sure does.... McGowan actually looks healthy. Delabar went from substitute to potential allstar..... god damn Brett Cecil is an allstar... f***ing Brett Cecil..... a small sample size for sure.... but if I were in charge in of the Jays pitching..... I would have every last god damn one of them on that program this off season... from low A to the major leagues..... I'd say f*** it... what do we got to lose?

Just move him to the pen and have him work single innings until he gets his command under control. The guy is clearly mentally weak and needs his hand held through this.

Sounds like our entire starting depth needs to be in the pen. Maybe have a bullpen of 14 arms and play every game by committee.

Ricky Romero since ditching new mechanics and going back to his old stuff:

 

game 1 5 2/3 innigs 3 earned runs 3 so 2 bb

 

game 2 6 innings 0 earned runs 3 so 3 bb

 

game 3 7 innings 0 earned runs 6 so 3 bb

 

game 4 3 1/3 innings 5 earned runs 2 so 5 bb

 

game 5 6 innings 3 earned runs 7 so 1 bb

 

game 6 6 innings 3 earned runs 3 so 2 bb

 

game 7 7 innings 2 eanred runs 7so 2 bb

 

totals 3.51 ERA 31 so 18 BB since going back to his old mechanics.

 

Still a few too many walks, but K rate is decent and clearly trending in the right direction.

6.8 K/9, 3.95 BB/9

Would be okay with these as MLB numbers, but not as AAA numbers. Still a long way to go, but at least he's not walking everyone anymore

Romero is a warrior, it is good to see him progressing. We need his arm and leadership on the field.

wut?

 

Romero is a great guy, Latin-Afro-WhiteBoy mix...He always gives their best and that is very valuable and worthy of note. Hope to see him in the majors even as a LOOGY.

I will give that Ricky cares a lot about his team and his performance. But I never saw him as a leader of any kind.

His chances are looking better. It would be nice I'd AA could rid us of his contract somehow.

He likely calls him up soon if Romero continues pitching well and if he can be half decent AA should flip him in the winter.
