At what point do you stop running Bundy out there?

Didn't deGrom just undergo season ending surgery to move his Ulnar nerve?

Also A ball innings are seen as being a lot less stressful than major league innings.

Additionally it is hard to comp Bundy since, due to his shoulder calcification issue, he is a year further removed from TJ surgery than is the norm.

We go hard on Sunday mornings here. I said probably the closest comp. Because there is no comp really. This was the one comp that a bunch of baseball nerds could come up with.

For the record, I'll take 5 healthy, cost controlled years, out of Bundy before his arm falls off.

Let me know if you haven't had your coffee yet. ;)

I'll agree that deGrom is probably the best comp, but still not a very good one considering Bundy's unique situation.

o

This is Bundy's 2nd consecutive start in which he has had 5 days' rest.

I'm hoping that if the Orioles CONTINUE to give him 5 days' rest for the next couple of weeks that is left in the regular season, we'll start to see the more dominant Bundy that we saw earlier in the season ........ perhaps a little better tonight than in his last outing, and then a little better in his next outing than in this outing, etc.

And worry about the post-season if and when the Orioles get there.

This was Bundy's 3rd consecutive start on 5 days' rest. He was dominant for the first 3 innings ....... so maybe ...... just maybe ...... he is gradually regaining some of the strength that he had earlier in the season.

Accumulative additional rest theory ??? I hope so. ) :noidea:

    • You have basically answered your own question. If Grayson didn’t agree he could file a grievance. He didn’t so one might assume, regardless of how serious, he agrees with the course of action. 
    • We’ve gone to 2 Monday games and one Tuesday game. Ive gotten tickets for $37 apiece after fees in section 52 and then Move up a few rows to all the empty seats. Amazing seats to watch a game. This last Monday I paid $65 apiece for section 52 vs the yanks. People from NY paid $100 off SeatGeek. He said that these seats in NY would be $500 apiece. Ticket prices are pretty cheap for Os games right now. And on a Monday you could buy a cheaper seat and then move closer if you really wanted to.  Now food prices are a different story. Just buy a hoagie somewhere and bring it in.  Looking at the Toronto Monday, sec 52 is way cheaper than it was for the Yankees. Sec 59 is $19 on SeatGeek including fees. you can make it affordable but I don’t pay for parking in Timonium and I have passes for the light rail.  
    • Whose better than Cowser on defense?  How does Norby look out there?
    • what about just waiting for Bautista to come back and use those type of players to get a good starter with some control? 
    • I think those stats are from before his last two appearances.  He gave up a home run today to Gleyber Torres.
    • I was happy with what I saw. I honestly went into it not expecting much. He had a few rough spots but didn't totally crumble. Really encouraging! 
    • The A’s will have no use for Stowers as a serious trade chip. Maybe he’s a throw in along with the major pieces? But he in no way is equivalent of Kjerstad or Cowser.  Furthermore if you have questions/concerns about Cowser, you don’t think they will? You don’t think that they are aware of his issues and that their evaluators/scouts can watch film of him butchering plays? Kjerstad is 25 now (already in his prime). Why would the A’s trade Miller for him? Miller has 5 more years of control. Their whole rationale for wanting to move Miller is to sacrifice the now for the later (buying years in the future and sacrificing the present). They are likely to want guys who are you and/or guys further away from MLB but still have tremendous upside. Povich/McDermott/Johnson? I guess they can be used as add ons. But I can’t see those kind of guys being main pieces for an EXTREMELY VALUABLE commodity like Miller. Miller has the ability to be the best late inning weapon in the sport and he has FIVE more years of control after this season. That kind of player is not going to be acquired for spare parts. We are going to have to beat other offers for him.
