Ref 1 needs date published (October 31, 2012)
- Please also cite his birthday
Ref #6 says he had a tough time at in Florence, Alabama and nearly broke the school record for strikeouts. Can this be added?
- I can't access ref #6, unfortunately. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 12:25, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ref 8 doesn't support the content (ie. Romo went to Orange Coast College before transferring to Arizona Western College.)
Why is ref 9 cited twice when it can be used once?
Ref 11 doesn't work for me

Ref 16 doesn't support content cited

- See also Giants concerned about Sergio Romo's usage in the WBC
Romo gained notoriety for being one of the team's "Beards", along with LHP Jeremy Affeldt and closer Brian Wilson
- When I first read this, I immediately read it as Beard (companion). Can this be re-worded? I assume you actually meant he has a beard
His ERA was the third-lowest among NL relievers, and his strikeout-to-walk ratio of 14:1 was the best in MLB and the best ever since Dennis Eckersley's 18.25:1 ratio in 1990. He stranded 81.8% of runners (fifth in the NL) and trailed only Kris Medlen in strike percentage (71%) among NL pitchers with at least 20 innings pitched. This isn't supported by the reference cited

Ref 44 needs an access-date
Ref 45 doesn't say Jeff Locke and Jordan Zimmermann made starts on Sunday and became ineligible to pitch. It says Pittsburgh's Jeff Locke and Washington's Jordan Zimmermann, were ruled inactive.
- That's the reason pitchers are ruled inactive before an All-Star Game. If it was a reason other than that they had pitched on Sunday, the source would have said. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 12:42, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ref 53 needs date published (October 30, 2014)

Is mlbtraderumors a reliable source? Can a better source be used?
Romo reached the playoffs as the Twins won the AL Central title in 2019 not mentioned in ref. Also, maybe re-word it to Romo helped the Twins reach the playoffs as they won the AL Central title in 2019.
- Source states that the Twins won the AL Central, and the fact that Romo pitched in the playoffs for them shows that he was part of the playoff team. However, I cited a reference mentioning one of the games he pitched in, for clarity's sake. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 12:32, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ref 91 needs author

Is fangraphs a reliable source?
- It should be. I've used it on several good articles in the past without anyone saying it was an issue. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 12:29, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:BLPPRIVACY and Wikipedia:Minors and persons judged incompetent, we don't usually list the name of children
- We know their names, so I think the article is more complete by listing them. It doesn't say anything derogatory about them. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 12:57, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
