Than he should know that in Bundy's first stat he gave up 4ER in 3 1/3 innings with three walks and three HR allowed.

That's rocky.

He believes there will be a correction in his stats. He is not confident that currently, Bundy is going to pitch like an Ace from here on out. Fair enough, I think anyway.

I wasn't a big fan of the Davis deal and he's been struggling at the plate but if we are going to overpay for a player, that's the type of player I want to overplay.

He's an athlete and ballplayer. Even if he sucks in year 6 of the deal, I hope he still gives that type of effort and I can deal with it.

But he shouldn't be blatantly factually wrong and I think luck was poor choice of words. There isn't much, stat wise (or the eye test) to indicate Bundy has been lucky.

I'm unimpressed with someone in the business taking that approach.

      Especially when you factor in the DL Hall trade too.  Suarez and Wells get bumped to the pen only if Bradish and Means are effective starters a decent part of the season.  Would the O's promote Povich or McDermott to pitch relief?  My guess is not anytime soon, but I dunno. A trade would for one or two arms would be best, but trading for good relief pitching is only harder now because so many teams can make the playoffs.

      Off-season Qualifying Offer Question

      By EddeeEddee · Posted

      But O'Hearn's numbers are inflated because he never bats against lefties, plus he's trash in the outfield.  If Santander's hitting does not improve this season of course you don't give him a QO, but that's unlikely.  He'll probably pick it up as the weather heats up.  Plus Tony plays at least a decent RF and can play first base too.   Like others have said, should the O's offer Santander a QO?  Maybe -- it depends on how he performs and how Kjerstad and Stowers perform.

      Off-season Qualifying Offer Question

      Wait, since when is money no object? It remains to be seen what the budget constraints are going to be with the new ownership, but if Santander is projected to put up 3.0 WAR for $20 million and his replacement (Kjerstad/Cowser/Stowers...) can put up 2.5 WAR for less than a million then that will be factored in.  The goal will never be about being better than the other 29 teams in a payroll vacuum.

      I think you have a good understanding and I assume you’ve read Ted Williams Science of Hitting.  It’s all about lining up planes of pitch and bat.  Historically with sinkers and low strikes a higher attack angle played and was more in alignment with pitch plane.  In today’s game of spin and high zone fastball an uppercut swing gives you minimal chance and results in top spin grounders and swing & miss.

      I'll bow to your expertise even if it seems unlikely to my laymen understanding.

      Actually it will.  As you noted.  MLB pitch plane is like 2-3 degrees.  The more your attack angle increased the more you’re hitting a top spin tennis return.

      My point was an overly uppercut swing isn't going to result in that low a launch angle.  Not unless he is somehow consistently topping the pitches, which seems pretty unlikely.
