What is going on with the Orioles and the cutter?

I irked hearing Buck talk about time to the plate after Fridays game. He's obsessed with it.

Amen brother! Duquette needs to go....screwed us holding us hostage with the whole Toronto thing....I would have fired him right then! Let him go to another team

and trade prospects for has beens.

Pitchers should be concentrating on keeping the hitters off the basepaths.

I'm not convinced TTTP has helped our young pitchers. I know it hindered Arrieta and Matusz. I'd rather them focus on preventing more base runners. Works fine for Lester.

Agree %100. If you make your pitch, you don't have to worry about it.

I think it's hurt them as well. Seems they rush their delivery, and lose command.

I disagree that Bundy is following the same path. The article clearly states that he threw the cutter in the AFL and had discomfort, so they are going to make sure he's completely fine before he starts tossing it again. I'm fine with that.

I just hope be can be successful with the O's.

ERod started working on a cutter this year.

Fangraphs says he has thrown it zero times. Either way, he is not relevant because he has succeeded in Boston without the cutter. They may have improved him some other ways but the cutter is not relevant. So Arrieta is really the only data point on the cutter theory.

If I'm Bundy and I think the Cutter is what caused my elbow issues I'm going to be real hesitant to throw it after what I have been through.

Sure, but that would still be MY choice and not the organization's.
