More Discomfort in Bundy's Elbow.

[Rene88]

This stunk since the beginning. Anytime you here "there is nothing to worry about"-there actually is.

No surprise here.

Stud prospect? Sure, but not without risk.

I would assume the Nats GM would think it was a prank call had Duquette called last year and offered Bundy for Mike Morse. I can't imagine the OH could handle the traffic if that deal went down.

"What's that Dan? You'll give me the best pitching prospect in baseball for 1 year of a designated hitter? Sure that sounds... wait which Bundy are you talking about, Dan? ....? Dan, are you there?"

Hopefully, this isn't too significant an injury.

Now we know why he didnt throw harder than 94-95 last September. The big train speed we had all heard about in Delmarva and Frederick just never showed. I bet something was slowly going wrong since then.

Totally crappy way to start my evening. But at least it's elbow and NOT shoulder issues.

[Brooks The Great]

Velocity was not real impressive in the Futures game and he was throwing different in that one as well. Don't believe me? Check the tape if it's available.

Different compared to when? When he threw in high school, or earlier in the season?

This is why you strongly consider packaging your prospects for proven ML talent

Bundy in a package for Justin Upton, or Giacarlo Stanton, or even Mike Morse might have turned out brilliant.

Of course I know hindsight is 20/20

But my point is I could never understand all the talk of Bundy, Gausman, Schoop being untouchable.

No way in hell do you mention Bundy in the same breath of Mike Morse.

Upton or Stanton? Sure, but Morse? Hell no.

Honestly, let's just give him Tommy John surgery at this point and we'll see him next year. It worked out fine for Strasburg.

I'm with this.

...just get it over with already. Don't drag it out.

Different than what I saw in 2012 ST, although it wasn't the best angle. Not the same as when he came up in September. Maybe he was just trying to impress and amp it up but in the futures game there was a lot of body turn and the arm wasn't as over the top as his "normal" seems to be. Maybe it doesn't mean anything. I was just disappointed at the time because it looked like a kid who started out with really good mechanics was a little messed up.

He didn't get properly warmed up at the Futures Game if I remember correctly.

Dan Duquette said Bundy requested 2nd opinion per CBA after discomfort yesterday. Said he won't have any update until he sees Dr. Andrews.

I find that very interesting.

[Rene88]

What do you think that means Corn? I don't follow the CBA comment...

I find that very interesting.

DD must be very confident in the original diagnosis from the Oriole medical team. Wonder if Denver Bundy forced the issue ?

Sell high on pitching prospects, that is one thing we learned the last 15 years. As far back as I can remember there was an untouchable future ace/ 'Dylan Bundy' on the horizon that people can't stop talking about. Never worked out even once.

[Rene88]

Angelos cheaping out on staff? I don't believe it....

[Can_of_corn]

Yeah, but Bundy is smart for doing it. Obviously, it's been shown that the O's don't have any doctor in house who is close to the expert that Andrews is. Hobgood went outside the organization to get his shoulder taken care of finally. The O's guys said it was a torn rotator cuff for the longest time. Pretty sure Hobgood's doctor said the rotator cuff was actually in good shape.

I agree it was smart of Bundy. I am a bit concerned that after re-experiencing discomfort the O's had to be "nudged" to get him a second opinion.
