4/13 at Harrisburg - Dylan Bundy's first 2015 Start

[QBsILLEST1]

Thank you sir! Thats not terrible.

Watched Bundy's 3 innings on video feed. Very good command of the fastball. Was able to hit corners on both sides pretty consistently. His curve had good break but he didn't fool one hitter with it. Whether they knew it was coming or they just picked it up early, they had good swings at it. He looked good, just not special.

Hobgood looks to be in decent shape but still on the "husky" side. Just watched one inning plus on him. He threw strikes and they put the ball in play. He falls off the mound on his follow through. Missed O'Brien's home run.

So does Tillman.

I liked Bundy's tempo. He looked comfortable and in control out there on the mound. Fastball command was solid but I agree about his curveball not fooling anyone. He looked good overall but still trying to regain the feel he previously had of his secondaries.

I was there last night too. He looked good for his first start of the year.

For his first outing of the year, I'll take it. I've pretty much accepted that Dylan is not back to being the dominant guy he was in 2012. Hopefully he can get back to there, but it's not going to happen overnight.

Off on a bit of a tangent, but any reason why the minors have the same stupid win rules as the majors? Not like they even particularly care about wins (meaning minor league teams), but they give the credit for the win to the reliever who was scheduled to come in after the starter's pre-determined three innings. I'm programmed to weight pitcher wins at 0%, but you'd think they could fix this a bit in the minors.<iframe id="rufous-sandbox" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="display: none;" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>

Tim Berry had a perfect game for three innings today. Then gave up 8 runs in an inning plus. Sometimes that second time through the order...

Why bother to fix it? Does it matter to anyone?

I don't know, why bother to fix anything? Maybe if they did something in the minors it would be step one to fixing the rule in the majors? Pitcher wins might not matter, but they still list every game's starters along with their W/L record and ERA.

Nice outing today. 3 IP, 0 hits, 0 walks, 5 strikeouts, 36 pitches.

Anything about velocity? I'm not obsessed by it but I do wonder if Bundy will get back to where he was.

I'm more worried about command and movement on his pitches.

[Scrat1]

Bundy working himself back into the picture is just incredibly encouraging.

Wow. Best outing by far.

I think he's due to ramp up to 4 IP shortly.
