My Thoughts on Sergio Romo
Posted on May 6th, 2010 by admin in King of Cali Blog
I have been asked what’s my thoughts on Sergio Romo. I really do like Romo and think he’s a great arm in our bullpen. Yes, he’s given up two big homers early in this season. The first to the Dodgers slugger Manny Ramirez and then Tuesday night to the Marlins slugger Dan Uggla. I guess I have a bias opinion towards Romo because my girlfriends dad was born and raised in Brawley California (same as Romo).Romo got his chance for redemption in last nights ball game, and he didn’t disappoint! Barry Zito pitched a stellar game and it started to slowly slip away in the bottom of the 8th inning. Romo came in to face the most feared hitter in the Marlins lineup Hanley Ramirez. Did I forget to mention the bases were juiced and nobody out? Ramirez who’s the hottest hitter in the Marlins lineup looked foolish against Romo. Romo had his nasty slider (Frisbee like). He got Hanley to strike out on 3 pitches and then got Jorge Cantu to ground into an inning ending double play. That kept the score 3-1 Giants going into the 9th inning.
It’s nice to see Bruce Bochy throw Romo back into the fire the next day. He got a chance to redeem himself and didn’t have to dwell on the Uggla homer for too long. Romo wears his emotions on his sleeves when he’s out there on the mound. You know when he’s really pumped and you have to love a player for showing they care by wearing their heart on their sleeve.
The Giants did secure the series win yesterday. Matt Cain will lead the Giants tonight as they go for the sweep. It’s a very nice start to their East Coast road trip. Next stop will be New York to face the Mets.
