Matt Vencel of The Sun reported it... referring to Dylan Bundy's thoughts about Bryce Harper's 'kiss'.

At the end of the interview, Davis asked the Bundy brothers how they would handle Bryce Harper if he blew them a kiss after hitting a home run like the cocky Nationals prospect did in a game Monday night.

“If I was pitching the next game, I would hit him all four at-bats,” said Dylan Bundy, winning over most of Baltimore with that answer.

Here's hoping we are treated to the two of them facing off in the near future.

Hehehe yeah. Funny thing with me is that as late as just days leading up to the draft, I wanted Starling. I still think he would've been a great pick, but I'm pleased we got the guy (Bundy) I'd have taken there as well.

Haha, I love it... sounds like he has a little Roger Clemens esque fire to him. And no, before anyone says it, I'm not expecting Bundy to be as good as Clemens.

Really, the first thing I thought when I heard about how intense his workouts are. This only furthers that comparison. Obviously, doesn't mean he's going to be Clemens but the dicipline, mindset, and intensity he's shown will only help him get the most of his career.

      I think there's something else beyond the injuries,  but a person would have to be naive to think this lineup wouldn't be drastically different with even 2 of the RH hitters on that list.

      Also, our Bad Manager had Mullins bunt with men on 1st and 2nd and nobody out precisely…two games ago, on Sunday in Detroit. Fouled off the first two, then flied out rather meekly to center field (advancing the runners anyway on nice tag-ups by Soto and Henderson). But then Santander popped up and Kjerstad hit a weak tapper back to the pitcher, so we went empty. Gave up an out with one of our hottest hitters — just to set up two dudes who couldn’t come through. I didn’t see Hyde getting too much praise as a Good Manager for doing that on Sunday. If he’d gone right back to the same strategy that failed a couple days ago in the exact same situation, then we’d be telling him “job well done” this time? Only if it worked, I’d wager…

      Different era obviously, but Rochester AAA manager Earl Weaver replaced O's skipper Hank Bauer in '68, just a year and a half after Bauer won the World Series.

      A good manager would have instructed him to bunt Well not for nothing, but I would like 100 dollars for every time a Good Manager did not bunt with first and second with nobody out. Now if the SF pitcher was LH, I would be onboard. If they were down by 1, maybe. Why would you not let Mullins hit there?

      Putting aside the issue of “not counting” stats that don’t fit the argument, I’m curious who he would have had hit there. What were the other options? Eloy Jimenez (1 for his last 23) Coby Mayo (3 for 37 with 21 Ks as a pro) Jackson Holliday (0 for last 22 vs LHPs  with 12 Ks) Livan Soto (~.600 career AAA OPS vs LHPs)   Not saying Slater was some slam dunk pick, but I honestly don’t really even understand how folks can criticize Hyde for those types of decisions anymore. Every lever he has available to pull is clearly marked *WRONG* in flashing red lights.

      Is it really the injuries?

      People born in 1984 are 40 now and have never seen the O’s get past the ALCS
