Dylan Bundy 2017

[Cumberbundy]

"Bundy struck out 12. Amazingly, every single one of them was a swinging strikeout."

He had ten quality starts in his first 11 outings, so I doubt we would have gotten much more out of him in that period.    Maybe he would have avoided the fatigue that seemed to set in from early June through July.    We'll never know.   

Meanwhile, I'm really happy with what we have here.     18 QS in 25 starts.   If anything, his 13-8 record understates how well he's pitched.  Assuming he stays healthy, he should be a stud for years to come.   

Easy for you to say!  

We have a few of those candidates - Trey, Austin Hays, HH, Mountcastle, Hanifee - whoops - getting a bit "Cumberbundy" here....

I don’t think a pitcher can become an ace in the matter of one month. But if one could, that month would look a lot like Bundy’s August.

That's a good article, thanks for posting.    To me what it really points out is that Bundy has a very full repetoire of pitches that he is commanding extremely well.    

[Aristotelian]

Per Brooks Baseball, he was averaging 93.2 (topping 95.3), a notch above his season average of 92.2. He definitely had confidence in the four seam high in the zone as mentioned in the article, which then makes the change up and curve all the more effective.

With Bundy, I always feel he has a plan.    And a lot of different pitch/location options that he can execute.   Gausman is far more predictable, even when he's on his game.

Not surprising, Bundy's curve and slider are both way better than whatever breaking ball Gausman is trying to throw in a particular start.

That's true, but Gausman also has trouble with fastball command, especially in certain parts of the strike zone.     Bundy generally can throw it anywhere.

Yeah, Bundy is like Tillman, but much, much better.

Swinging at wiffle balls. These are the cuts Wakefield used to get.

 

[O's are Legends]

According to Thorne, today was Bundy's first loss since July 6th, the O's had won his last 8 starts.

[Three Run Homer]

Not too surprising that he tired in the 4th inning today, given that he threw 116 pitches in his last start and was on normal rest.  He should bounce back for his next start.  Of course, this would have been a nice game to have him at his best for.

He wasn't normal rest. Palmer was wrong when he said it. If he stays on same rest he will pitch the Sunday Night game.

Just too many pitches and too many wasted foul balls by the Yankees.His stuff was excellent early, he just ran out off gas ...

He didn't get ahead early in the count, and threw a lot of untempting balls.   Look how many pitches weren't close to being strikes:
