Dylan Bundy, Promoted

[notfast]

Also....This gets Bundy acclimated to the team, in a playoff run, even if he doesn't get to pitch. A little more motivation to make the team out of ST next year.

Somewhere, Keith Law sticks a pin in the right arm of his Dylan Bundy voodoo doll. Which just happens to be as tall as Keith.

I f'n love the way Duquette runs a team. Al Davis style "just win, baby".

Naw, KLaw likes Bundy.

This is great! I wonder if they can kind of share the start between Saunders and Bundy? Let Saunders go 5, let Bundy go 2, then bring in the "standard" bullpen guys, especially ones who didn't go last night -- Ayala?

Ladies and Gentlemen, the 2012 "All In" Orioles.

Does anybody love DD as much as I do. This man is just amazing.

[EddieEddie]

So... is he allowed to throw the cutter now?

[Snutchy]

Yep, this season has taken on it's own thing. No more "Why Not" about this season. The motto for the season for years to come is "F you. We're all in." or just plain "All in"

IMO Bundy is not ready and this could be a huge mistake.

I don't see how it could be a "huge" mistake at this point. The minor league season is over. Chances are, Bundy won't pitch in any real meaningful situations. Whatever he does is unlikely to hurt his development, and if he is used right, it won't hurt the Orioles.

The O's don't have Arrieta, Steve Johnson or Hunter available today. Wolf started last Saturday. Someone has to throw if we need to pull Saunders early. It may as well be Bundy.

[Brendan25]

The willingness of DD to adjust on the fly has been so refreshing. All hands on deck, baby. What the offseason lacked in excitement, DD is more than making up for it in the regular season.

DD is a honey badger.

I wouldn't expect this offseason to be much more exciting then last to be honest. Could be wrong.

[Can_of_corn]

Yep any usage is going to be very low leverage. I half expect him to not pitch at all.

I agree. Bundy MAY get in 2-3 games down the stretch.

DD pushes his chips to the center of the table and dares everyone to beat him. I love the guy!
