Keep in mind Bundy couldn't do his regular warmup and doesn't have a history of pitching in relief.

Important thing is he didn't get hurt.

I for one was glad to see him throwing 96, I was concerned he might be overthrowing.

And he keeps calm - didn't try to dial it up to avoid contact. Stayed w/in himself.

None of these guys have been loose and ready. Which explains the command and sharpness issues, I think.

Not a big deal, though probably disappointing if you haven't watched him otherwise this year to know what he does.

If you listened to the game George Brett not letting them warmup.

THIS! I don't feel bad at all because I saw what he can do. This was just a bad day, and only one inning in an exhibition game.

He hasn't exactly been lights out in Frederick so far. Great prospect but maybe not as close to Baltimore as some were making him out to be. Besides some ST video this is really the first time, I've seen him and it's only one inning but what I saw coincides with the numbers he's been putting up in Frederick.

He is also in High A at 19 with a crap defense behind him and unable to use what is arguably his best pitch.

Eh. Having watched him a few times, that wasn't very representative of what I've seen. (I mostly ignore stuff about MLB-readiness. Though I think he'll be up next year.) I'm not remotely concerned about his performance, nor remotely concerned about this outing. As I said, for folks who haven't watched him, I'm sure it was a bit "Meh." It's a complete non-issue for me.

He's still a little raw. He only played two years of college ball. He has plenty he still has to learn. But he's a really together young man. Very calm and focused. Very smart.

Who are you talking about, Scott? Bundy didn't play any college ball. And he's not "raw" at all, given age/context.

      1:2 is good.  Elite is a player like Arraez who is 1+:1.

      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?

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By Philip · Posted

      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.
