Did they push him back or are they on a 6-man rotation? He pitched the first game, and they've played 6.

Six man rotation for now. Tim Berry, Parker Bridwell, Tyler Wilson, Eduardo Rodrigez and Miguel Chalas as well as Dylan Bundy.

How are they going to see how he makes adjustments when he only pitches three innings every six days? If he is clean then he is looking at one trip through the lineup, that doesn't give the other team much of a chance to adjust to him, even less of a chance for him to adjust back.

I don't think Baltimore is concerned with what LoA players can or can't do against Bundy. He's getting his work in, adjusting to travel/lifestyle, and building momentum for later in the year.

I don't know. But it appears to be their plan for now. They are trying to be real careful.

"My curve isn't there today, so I need to figure out something else."

"Not getting the low strike, so I'll need to work in/out more often."

rather than

"I set up this overmatched hitter with fastballs last time so I'm going to back-door him with a breaking ball to start off his second at bat."

At least, that's what I think when someone says they want to see a pitcher make adjustments over the course of the first three innings. I maintain that the LoA hitters are mostly inconsequential to the exercise, but what do I know -- I'm no developmental guy.

I see your point but I still assert three inning increments at this level of competition isn't going to accomplish one of their stated goals.

I wanted him in High A to begin with.

Noted. I'm not sure how to test your hypothesis, but I guess we'll see how Bundy develops, eh?

      How should we look at FA contracts going forward?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I would prefer not to do a 7 year deal. But my point is if not Burnes than who? How long are we going to be able to trade for 1/2 year rental types (like he currently is)?  If we allow Burnes to walk in FA, then we are going to have to sign someone (who won’t be as good). OR trade one of our top level prospects for a Luzardo or maybe one of the Mariners young controllable starters. If the Reed Sox were allowed sign a Burnes and we do nothing or go with some kind of patchwork Kyle Gibson signing, they would be real close to catching up to us.

      Obviously, the years/dollars matter in regard to Burnes. I can see where Burnes might be the next in line to lay claim to the Verlander/Scherzer crown as one of the preeminent power pitchers of his time...that is to say he goes through his 30s and comes out the other side as one of the top 5 pitchers in baseball for a decade or longer.  He's been durable, he seems to prepare himself in the way that those guys do and I think he will last.  Of course, it's not my money. I don't know how the new ownership group will approach free agency and quite frankly, I'm not sure if I really care at the moment.  I'm sure I'll care in the offseason, though. I will say, I'd really like to see the new ownership spend to lock up the talent we already have before spending on free agency.

      Dean Kremer 2024

      By Say O! · Posted

      Completely agree. Not sure what the analytics would say, but to me (from TV vantage point), Kremer’s best stuff comes by two pairings: (A) 4 seam 95mph at top of zone and curveball, and (B) splitter and 2 seamer at bottom of the zone.  Both probably tunnel in the same way to the batters.  And his cutter should be reserved only for jamming lefties on their hands, bc he hangs far too many meatballs against righties.

      How was the weather?  My recollection was that he didn’t have a feel for it that game and had trouble locating either for a strike or close enough to get a chase.

      We can just say impact = well above replacement level. Kremer is a great guy to have as our #5 as he would have been on Opening Day if not for the aforementioned starter injuries. I'm sure no one really thought Bradish would be AL Cy Young-4 in his second year in the MLB. That's a fantastic hit by Elias. That and getting Gunnar in the 2nd may be the most impressive things Elias has done?  To answer your question, no I probably didn't think much of Bradish when we got him as an A Ball pitcher. Would I have bet he individually would be elite? No. But would I bet there'd be an elite pitcher in all the pitching prospects we got back for Manny Machado, Zach Britton, Jonathan Schoop, Kevin Gausman, Darren O'Day, Dylan Bundy, Jonathan Villar, Miguel Castro, Jose Iglesias, Cole Susler, Tanner Scott? Well I'd hope so. Out of them we got Bradish, Kremer, and Tate (1 elite SP, 1 decent SP, 1 reliever and a bunch of names we've forgotten). I'll take it. We'll see what we get any SP's out of the Trey Mancini and Jorge Lopez hauls.  Now we're in a different position where we aren't selling off assets to get back dart throws. At this point, our conversation will get circular but it will take value in prospects or value in dollars or some combination of both to get more elite talent in the rotation. Don't expect to give middle tier contracts out and get back elite level performance. And I don't think we'll be able to maintain this ridiculous level our farm system is at forever. And we won't be able to have the luxury of sending off 12 years of Joey Ortiz and DL Hall type players for 1 year rentals every year.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By RZNJ · Posted

      I actually think you hit on it.   The more realistic extension candidates are Cowser, Westburg, Kjerstad, Mayo, and Basallo.
