Best starting pitcher so far?

[Natty]

5 IP, 1 hit. 0 runs. Throw out the 7 walks. They were insignificant.

I'll take Bundy.   

Miley was better than I thought he would be though.

[ArtVanDelay]

How are they insignificant?  Next time he won't be so lucky.

His WHIP is 1.60.  That's Ubaldo-esque. His start is nowhere near as good as Bundy's.

I'm one of the more optimistic people when it comes to Miley but 7 walks is really bad.

[Bmorefan24]

The 7 walks also contributed to a high pitch count, and an exit after 5 innings.

[Cumberbundy]

His walks are why we will lose. He was given a weak lineup he just needed to throw strikes to and he failed. The bullpen was used up, he let the team down. This loss is on Miley and the atrocious offense. 

 

Bundy, obviously. 

[backwardsk]

ODay was used up?  Wilson was used up? Nuno was used up? Hart was used up?  Is it too much to ask Givens to pitch more than 1 inning in a 5 day span?

If Miley keeps walking 7 per game his ERA will eventually be higher than 0.00.  But the bullpen needs to do its job and preserve a three run lead over four innings.

This loss is not on Miley, and yes, Bundy's start was much better.

The bullpen laid an egg today.  I'm not worried about it because they will be stout.

Bundy no doubt.

No Gausman and Jimenez let the team down. Atleast Miley got through 5 IP.

If Miley allows less than 4 runs in 5 innings, I am happy, maybe less than 5.

[Drifter]

Bundy..   but it's 5 games into the season.

Brilliant reasoning. Miley hands off a shut out to the bullpen where only one guy had thrown the day before (Givens), but it's somehow his fault for the loss.

Brach and Britton were unavailable because of the previous SP. Miley went 5.0. He didn't deserve a win. 

The starting pitching in Baltimore, Norfolk and Bowie has been pretty bad so far.

You have a telephone call from outer space.  I don't know who it is, but it's way way out there.  Im sure you will recognize it.

The starting pitching has been terrible. Hope that phone call is from Frederick and they are telling us that Sedlock can be up here in 2 months. Because if not we are going to run our pen into the ground.

I was saying in the game thread that I hope we see Sedlock up here in August. Of course he has to pitch his way up there, though.
