Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Ricky Romero is at it again as he let out some frustration on Twitter Wednesday.
Romero responded to Jen Turner (@EliteGirlJen) who was taking a shot at his performance this season. The tweet, which has since been removed said: “Just got an email about votting (sic) for Ricky Romero to win The Roberto Clemente Award… Um did they not see how he performed this season?”

Turner then responded to Romero’s tweet, further criticizing his performance:

Turner then had her hands full, answering for her tweets at the Blue Jays pitcher:
@lukesilva10 I hope @rickyro24 wins the Cy Young next year… He would prove a lot of people wrong by doing so. — Jen Turner (@EliteGirlJen) October 10, 2012

It’s called accountability… If my tweet got @rickyro24 that upset then clearly he’s frustrated, just like the fans who pay to support him. — Jen Turner (@EliteGirlJen) October 10, 2012

I understand what the award is about. I just don’t believe we should be trying to glorify a player who had such a terrible year — Jen Turner (@EliteGirlJen) October 10, 2012

Back in May, Romero’s frustration boiled over on Twitter, where he called out the “haters,” and “keyboard warriors” during a rant on the popular social media website.
