16 starts, 104.1 IP (6.52 IP/start), 3.54 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, 4.79 K/9, 2.16 BB/9. Also, that's 8 quality starts in his last 9 outings, and a 2.35 ERA over that span. Who saw this coming before spring training? Certainly not me. I was hoping for a serviceable back of the rotation starter. Bergy's been way more than that. Congrats to him and I hope he can keep it up.

He's one of the things I'm looking forward to in the 2nd half, to see if he can keep this up.

I feel bad. I keep waiting for him to slip but he keeps churning out good starts.

I guess I still have bad memories of Josh Towers...I can't but help feel that this is the same thing...but I have to think the baseball Gods are finally starting to smile on us.

This guy from BP liked his first half enough to name him as midseason AL ROY.

Interesting. Looks like there's gonna be a serious race for the AL ROY this year...Berg, Reimold, Romero, Porcello, Andrew Bailey...

Berg has more innings than any of the pitchers so far, though.

Would be amazing if he could keep up this pace that he's been on.

Don't forget Wieters...I have a feeling that before all is said and done, that he will be in the discussion.

American League Rookie of the Year: Brad Bergesen, Orioles

Bergesen is considered by many to be a placeholder in the Orioles’ rotation until such top prospects as Chris Tillman, Brian Matusz, and Jake Arrieta reach the majors (either later this season or in 2010). However, Bergesen is going to be a tough guy to unseat considering he is 5-3 with a 3.59 ERA in 15 starts, with 5.3 WARP3 and 21.7 VORP.

The rest of the ballot: 2. Elvis Andrus, Rangers; 3. Ricky Romero, Blue Jays

Thanks. The writer really does rate Bergeson very highly. I'm still thinking that Wieters will catch fire and nab ROY honors by the end of the season.

I'm surprised at how many people are not even considering him a late jump.

However, he'd have to have an excellent second half, so I guess it's not that absurd.

I wouldn't rule him out at all though.

I haven't seen it so far from Weiters. He'll have to go on a tear to even get consideration. At this point he's just living on his name and hype, not anything he's done on the field or at the plate. Been a disappointment so far, hopefully he turns it on.

The disconnect here. From FRobby's OP... Who, out of ST, or even better yet, since last New Year's Eve, would have even dared to think about "Bergeson's first half?"

And be this excited? His "first half" at BEST was supposed to be to pitch enough not terrible innings to stretch out Eaton and others.

Manna from heaven.

His innings pitched is a double-edged sword. It has been a very welcome relief but it's something that also needs to be monitored. Between Norfolk and Baltimore, he's at 115.1 and last season was his minor league high at 165. Come September, we may need to space out his starts a bit more.

      I get where you are coming from. I guess I should have clarified. I wasn't referring to "runs created" in terms of how the official stat is measured. I was using it in the context of the player being at bat or on base when someone actually crosses home plate.  I agree that it requires opportunity. But it also matters what you do with the set of opportunities that you are given. I think that it is more than a function of randomness or luck, but that it is actually a skill. But overall I agree with your point, especially the bolded.

      The game I grew up with...

      I would refute one of the OP takes that bat control doesn't exist anymore.  The bat control OP is talking about may have fallen off, though I would point that those players still exist, see Arraez and Kwan.  But players have taken bat control to the next level, in that they now create swing planes to control launch angles, and make adjustments to the field they are hitting to, or to squeeze Evo out of the swing.  This stuff surely happened back in the day, they just didn't have statcast data to back it up. But the level of bat control and swing shaping now is beyond next level.

      Angel Hernandez has retired!!

      By ShoelesJoe · Posted

      Heard an interesting theory this morning: The Umpires' Union has offered up Angel Hernandez as a sacrificial lamb in order to get MLB to back off their plans to eventually go to an automated strike zone. If MLB all of a sudden finds lots of reasons to delay or cancel the roll out of robo-umps we'll know why.

      It's worth a watch. They argue that, based on the info available, Hernandez has never been close to being the worst ump, and has even at times been above average (not so much in recent years though).

      Agree. I don’t think the Orioles have a set time when they think he’ll be back. I think getting past Super 2 is relevant but not required. Beyond that, he also only had 2 weeks of service earlier, so I believe he could be a September 1 callup with expanded rosters and still have rookie status next year. But it doesn’t make sense to keep him down once they think he’s ready and if (when) Mateo cools off. That could be in a couple weeks or as late as September, we’ll just have to see.

      The year Tejada had 150 RBI, I believe he had both the most runners on base of any batter, and the highest OPS with runners on base (.970) of any batter.  So, it was a combination of opportunity and performance.   This year, in 221 PA Adley has batted with 121 runners on base; the average batter with 221 PA would have 132 runners on base.  So, Adley’s opportunities aren’t exceptionally high.  He has a .907 OPS with RISP and .938 with runners on.  So, his RBI total has been more about performance than opportunity.

      He is making adjustments, but I'm not sure any of us can say when he will be back. Mateo is playing well at 2B right now and while we know that typically doesn't last with the bat, I don't think the Orioles feel a rush to bring him back up the second he starts doing well. He could be back up by July, or he may not be back until September. It just really depends on how he's doing and the Orioles need at 2B.
