The relationship between teams' starting pitchers and their closer is a tight-knit one, and it’s hard to find a more evident example of that in the MLB right now than Marcus Stroman and Roberto Osuna.
While we most commonly see their relationship after a win with a handshake and a hug, the bond continues off the field.
On Monday, we were scrolling through Instagram when we saw a funny video on BarStool Sports from Japanese league where the Yakult Swallows closer Yasuaki Yamazaki was delivered to the mound in a luxury sports car while the crowd went crazy to the Boston Bruins goal song, otherwise known as Kernkraft by Zombie Nation.
What we noticed in the comment section below, however, was even better than the video.
Stroman had commented on the video, letting Osuna know the Blue Jays needed to start introducing him the same way.
If you’re a Blue Jays’ fan, the little things like this are why you love this team.
