Not worried.    First of all, he was hitting 93 consistently in the early innings.    Second of all, this guy is commanding four pitches.    It's a pleasure watching the hitters try to guess what's coming.    

Totally paraphrasing and have no real source to back it up, but heard Dave Johnson on the post game that a Steve Johnson (not his son) had done or read research which indicated that the fastball is now the major stressor on the elbow, not the offspeed stuff (specifically cited the previous contention that throwing too many curveballs would cause issues).   So maybe Bundy's higher usage of offspeed pitches could be a good thing in the long run.    Either way, I agree it is fun to watch.

Bundy looks like the most refined pitcher we've had since Mussina when he's on. Excellent combination of tactful control and electric stuff.

Lots of offspeed pitches today.  That cutter is filthy but worried throwing it a bit much

[Aristotelian]

Just shut out the best offense in MLB without his best stuff. Wow. Can't remember the last time I was this excited about an Oriole pitcher. The cutter/slider changes everything.

[Flash- bd]

Said in the game thread I get a Matt Cain vibe from him. 

[backwardsk]

We should have traded him after the 2015 season.  He's like a rule V guy.

I think he threw it more because he couldn't get the curve over.

I didn't get to watch tonight's game, but it seemed like Bundy pitched out of trouble almost every inning.   I would not have brought him out for the 8th, but I guess Buck wanted him to face the RHB before going to Hart.

That's the biggest thing. Truly maturing.

Bundy's going to win AL pitcher of the month at this rate.

[Norfolk orioles]

Brilliant outing against a tough lineup.

 

His stuff was great and his ability to get out of trouble was very impressive.

[El Gordo]

What impresses me most about Bundy is his pitchability.

He was pitching better in the later innings.  No issue with him being sent out on a short leash.  His stuff was still solid.

Yep.   He's commanding four pitches.   He's a pleasure to watch.    I do think Buck has to be careful about pitching him one batter too far, and I'm also cocerned about whether the number of breaking pitches he's throwing will take a toll.    But for now, it's all good!
