Oh great, a comebacker to scare the daylights out of Bergy to get the game started

Perhaps his ability to avoid getting clobbered by it will help him gain some confidence!

Seeing the O's statistics vs. left handed starters and vs. right handed starters reveals some differences from last season.

Last year, we were terrible against lefties.

This year, we're terrible against everyone!

We're nothing if not consistent

So you're saying we're more consistent now?

EDIT: Heh...jinx, Chris.

Thus accomplishing the O's goal for 2010.

Hi all, Go O's!

[PaulFolk]

What was that all about? Was Bergesen doing something wrong on the mound?

[LA2]

Just tuned in. What's this about the umps altering where Bergeson can pitch on the rubber--what rule is that?

[rooster1]

Who are these AAA hitters that keep hitting homeruns?!

The Orioles really haven't had THAT many homeruns this year.

I think he actually has to be ON the rubber. In that last replay they showed, it didn't look like his foot was even touching it.

Ugh, gopher ball to a guy with less power than Atkins. Not good.

It wasn't about where he can be. He was standing off of the rubber basically, and they were I guess looking into it. On the replay it looked like his foot wasn't actually making any contact with the rubber.

[The Rick]

These umps need to get a reality check. Pitchers do that all the damn time, STOP BEING APART OF THE GAME!!!!

Why do the A's always seem to have someone on base when one of their fluke homers are hit?

Unreal.

Wow--it's amazing to me that Bergeson was that far off to the side. I wonder if he was getting away w/ that last season or during his three-game winning streak this season....
