NP. From what I have read his delivery is smooth and compact so I am guessing his TTTP is decent. I wouldn't be surprised if his ability to hold runners is rudimentary given the dearth of them over his career.

I am worried with the passed ball and the WP on a K Bundy's last start. Has Lino been catching him?

Delivery looks very compact and yes Lino is catching.

I know everyone says "No need to rush him." But at this point doesn't it seem silly to keep him in Delmarva? Start after start he's not just dominant, he's insanely dominant. Seems like he needs to pull a Harper and go to Double A. I don't think you can hurt this kids confidence much even if he struggles. He's clearly a very confident dude. We should challenge him.

With 3ks today, I wonder if he was working on pitches tonight.

My guess is a lot of those guys are going up there with the goal of not striking out.

You are probably very right about this. I will tell you that this streak of Bundy's gives me tremendous respect for what Hershiser did. Simply amazing to throw 59 scoreless innings. So much can go wrong.

Saw him live tonight. He needs more time. Perhaps I saw him on a particularly "off" night, but it wasn't just farm guys trying not to strike out. He was definitely missing his spots. Admittedly, his stuff was way too advanced for even the older guys on the Lakewood squad, and definitely looked ML ready, but his command was not what I expected.

As far as "working on his pitches", I saw a steady diet of fastballs all night. Was sitting at 97 early on, and then dropped off to 94/95 from the third inning on. It didn't look like he was tired; rather he took his foot off the gas to stay in the zone (IMHO). I did spot an absolutely filthy breaking pitch.

A lot of the Lakewood hitters were swinging, he just didn't seem to miss their bats. The pitches they took were mainly balls, and it looked like the zone was pretty fair. Again, he just missed the zone quite a bit tonight.

Also, great TTTP ;)

      Clubhouse issues?

      The problem with that last statement is that this indeed is a business. And guys want to get paid and be fairly compensated. They all recognize that they have a short window to make life changing money.

      Are we done?

      I haven’t looked at his innings closely but I could see McDermott being tried as a reliever late in the season.

      McDermott is probably not there to preserve his image as a starter to potential trade partners, and if he is still here on July 31st, I'd expect to see him in our pen shortly. I do still want another solid RP, also preferably a lefty, and Sam Moll would fit the bill perfectly without breaking the bank.

      @hgizzle what is so hard to understand about what I said? The stupid look emoji is well stupid. Offer some thoughts to the conversation. Thanks

      Organizational Turmoil?

      By jdwilde1 · Posted

      I agree, with the caveat that Santander is a different animal than Hays and Mullins.  Santander plays every day and is having a career year going into FA.  It’s really the situation that every player wants. Meanwhile, Hays and Mullins are platooning after being every day players, and are having poor seasons.     I am sure Hays thought he had earned the right to play through his rough start, but it always doesn’t work out that way.    The thing I really want to see is what the O’s off-season looks like with Rubenstein’s ownership compared to JA.

      Grade the Hays for Dominguez/Pache trade

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      It’s a fair trade.  We needed another late inning reliever and Pache helps with late inning defense.     Pache is an abysmal hitter though so hopefully he doesn’t get too many starts or late at bats.

      Organizational Turmoil?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      It feels like a stretch to me that players being in Norfolk is hurting the vibes on the Major League team.  If those players come up, they will take jobs or playing time from current players.   Obviously, if there is a perception that we’re playing service time games instead of fielding our best players, then that could hurt morale.  However, I’m skeptical that current players are outraged that Mountcastle/O’Hearn/Westburg are playing over Mayo right now in the same way that some fans may be. Goon references veteran players in contract years - I’m pretty sure that’s only Santander and Burnes who are not feeling any competition from young players and both made the all-star team. With regard to long term extensions, it seems a bit silly to say young players want long term extensions but are being blocked by their agents and this is hurting morale. Boras has never inked an extension for a player with less than two years service time like Gunnar or Westy. Adley and his GF are from the Pacific Northwest- maybe they want to eventually be closer to home.  GRod, Cowser, and Kjerstad may be viewed as more risky candidates for an extension by Elias.  It’s not clear to me that Goon’s column represents any actual reporting as opposed to pure speculation.
