And, of course, their SO9's were all well below Bundy's 2017 level, below 5.0, for that matter.

Keith Law called Buck's use of Bundy criminal on his chat earlier today, hope he is wrong on Dylan.

 

Erich: Showalter seems to be running starters out at pretty high pitch counts, including Bundy. Bundy has started the 7th/8th inning this year a couple of times over 100 pitches. Ubaldo was at 91 going out for the 8th and didn’t get pulled until 115 pitches and 3 runs given up. Gausman started the 6th or 7th last week at over 100 pitches. With the bullpen being their strength, this seems counter intuitive, especially with Bundy in his first healthy season and the data showing his velocity decreasing later in games. 
Keith Law: I think his usage of Bundy has been criminal. I know the kid’s results have been good, but he’s showing clear signs of fatigue within starts and he’s compensating for the average (or worse) fastball by throwing a ton of sliders. I know the bullpen is nicked up with Britton out for a while and Brach returning to normal, but this isn’t the solution.

It's OK, Klaw thinks Bundy is just a bullpen arm anyway.  Who cares if the sixth inning guy gets overworked?

Hyperbole by Law as usual, but it's not like people here haven't voiced these concerns.

Apparently, Erich hasn't watched much O's baseball this year calling the BP a strength.

10th in bullpen ERA, 2nd in saves....looks pretty good. But 28th in BAA. Yikes! FYI, Washington's bullpen is actually 29th in BAA. 

 

p.s. 9th in IP

Apparently, you haven't watched much.    Going into yesterday, our pen was 3rd in win probability added.   We've lost three games all year when we had a lead at any point in the game.    Our bullpen has been very good despite two major meltdowns with big leads.   I'm worried about the near term future for the pen due to the stress the back end is under, but they've done a good job to date.

I've watched every game. Lot of smoke and mirrors going on out there. They've won some games, but they are constantly creating high leverage situations for themselves and our late innings guys haven't been as effective as we are used to. The pen is not up to the standards we are used to, even before Britton's historic season. Hard to think they are going to get any better, and while the results have gone our way in most games, I disagree they've done a good job. You can only rely on triple plays, and teams running themselves out of innings and handing you a win so many times.

Keith Law is entitled to his opinion, but IMO, he is pure rubbish.

Buck cant win for losing, he pulls the pitcher before he gets to 6 innings, he has a quick hook.

[Emory Eagle]

I don't know that Buck's use of Bundy has been for the better or for the worse, but I've been very impressed by Bundy's results so far.  I am a little skeptical of his ability to keep on delivering, given that he seems to be getting away with some pretty average velocity/movement, but so long as he's rolling I say let him pitch as far into games as is reasonable.

Last night, Dylan Bundy was tied for the Major League lead in Wins, with 5.

Dallas Keuchel's W over the Yankees last night put him in sole possession of said lead. Bundy has a chance to again tie for it tonight.

Who, exactly, has accused Buck of having a quick hook in his time with the O's?

I don't remember it happening and I am active in many of the game threads.
