Yep, but it's not like he didn't have them. Just played through it.

Its a little harder for a pitcher to "play" through muscle strains and whatnot being that they use so much of their body as hard as they do for however many innings they throw. Not only would something like a sprained lat probably get worse, it would effect command and velocity and could potentially cause a pitcher to alter his mechanics some which could lead to far worse injuries.

Oh, I wasn't talking about Bundy. Just in general about all the nicks that shelve guys, and it's not confined just to this era.

And Manny, for example, or JJ, for example, or Chris Davis with his oblique earlier in the year aren't pitchers, either. I think some guys play through stuff and others don't. Still, it is amazing that a 21 year old pitcher somehow gets injured "running"...God.

can you image the outcry on here, if he had kept it to himself and tried to pitch through it, only to injure himself further?

Its the minor leagues, and no reason to take a risk here.

I know a lot of fans are disappointed, they were expected Bundy to be on the Sept 1 call-up list.

IMO, I don't think the team was going to call him up, but thats just my opinion.

Starting to remind me of Adam Loewen. Wasn't there some questions raised about the intensity of his workouts? I really don't know. I do know neither him or his brother have been healthy since we drafted them and that is not a particularly good sign.

At this point, his value is falling off a cliff so he will have to prove himself next year.

Shut him down. I don't have any interest in the O's being tempted to call him up in September.

I said that along time ago and everyone thought it was a foregone conclusion he was coming up. My buddies are all like "so when are they bringing up Bundy"

Hope this guy wasn't the reason we didn't get Lester. Just think he s destined to be spending more time on the DL than he will on the mound in his career

Agreed. But ppl still have it in their head he will be a ACE...So let's keep sitting on him.

Just a good thing the Os weren't banking on him being called up this year.

    • 1:2 is good.  Elite is a player like Arraez who is 1+:1.  
    • https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/40027950/ravens-pick-nate-wiggins-nfl-draft-dabo-swinney-text  
    • Was reading Wiggins write up on ESPN. He appears to be more of a home run threat than Koolaid. He had a pick 6 each of the last 2 years.  
    • Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.
    • Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?
    • I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.
    • This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
