ricky romero spent a bit of time on the d.l.y now 80 1/3 innings. because of that he does not yet qualify to be included in the league leaders. you need to have pitched at least one inning for every game your team has played. for the jays after tonight he needs to be at 89 innings to qualify. when you look at his numbers, his e.r.a. is 2.96. that would be good for sixth best in the american league. his teammate roy halladay is fifth at 2.85, but he still doesn't have enough innings to qualify although he's getting close. >> jim p.: that tells you how hot luke scott is, because he didn't want anything to do with that 94-mile-per-hour fastball on the outside quarter of the plate. look at this. this is one of the reasons he's having a good year. 2-1 counts. hitting .500 on the season. >> jim h.: he gets to millar, two men down. wigginton moves to third. >> jim p.: the one thing, romero does so many things well, but the one thing we just saw out there, .159 with runners in scoring position. that's incredibly low. so if you get on, i

.: what ricky romero has been able to do is what the orioles hope that hernandez, bergesen has alreadye it. which is just make adjustments. balls the last time that romero pitched against the orioles, he gave up three home runs, he gave up 11 hits. again, he didn't walk a whole lot of guys, only one. he's gone on to be one of the best young left-handers in baseball since then. you work on your windup. you get the experience. you find out what it takes to be successful and you hope it translates into wins. >> jim h.: ty got the rally going in the second inning. >> jim p.: they lost jansen, marken, mcgowan and jessie lidge. >> jim p.: and richmond. >> jim h.: scott richmond this year who was very, very good. so again, they lost all these guys, and they were the best pitching team in baseball. at least in the american league last year. so, again, the orioles, had you get good pitching, that's how you win more games than you lose. >> jim h.: off the end of the bat to center field, in on it is vernon wells and wigginton is retired. two men down. that guy can go get them out there, vernon we
