Bundy had TJ surgery on 6/28/14. So it's been over 3 years since he's had it done. It's not like it's his first year back from it or is just like 18 months removed. 

Definitely rest him and give him extra days, but I don't think we should shut him down unless there is an injury. Let him get through the whole season and he won't have to answer the innings limit questions anymore.

You generally don't see a 70+ innings jump though. The TJ should be in the past and not an issue. I just hope he is healthy and ready next season.

The shoulder calcification issue bothers me more than the TJ to be honest.  With TJ you generally know what to expect.

When Tillman, Miley and Ubaldo are involved a 6 man rotation doesn't sound so appealing.  September is coming up, Buck can get creative with the extra arms that will be called up.

Ubaldo has been rather better on additional rest this year.

Seems to me the O's are doing a good job with Bundy.     There's no reason to push him beyond what they're doing.   He's had his turn skipped twice, about 5 weeks apart, and he's gotten an extra day of rest here and there (as he will this time due to the off-day today).     He'll get in enough innings this year where next season we won't really need to worry about this issue.    I'm pleased with his progress and think the O's were right to back off on him in the second half.    I still expect great things from him.

While I am glad they pulled back in the second half I think it would have been prudent for them to have controlled his innings and given him extra rest from the start of the season instead of waiting until he was obviously fatigued and his performance had dropped off.

I'm not saying they did everything perfectly.     Looking at his season, he started to lose effectiveness in mid-June and the O's probably should have backed off him a little then, instead of waiting another 3-4 weeks.    But overall I'm satisfied.    Bundy's been very strong in August and hopefully will finish that way with some prudent management.   18 QS in 24 outings -- pretty impressive.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I honestly think there is very little difference in most the teams that made the playoffs.  The most wins was 98 wins and there was 12 teams with 86 wins or more.  It also seems that many of the teams are on the same page with scouting and analytics now hitting wise.  Years back you had moneyball which the A’s used before anyone else.  Then the Astros and few teams started with analytics and seemed to be ahead of the rest of the league but they have caught up now imo.  Now the move seems to be on launch angle and hitting homers by getting the ball in the air but that seems to be across the league.  Obviously some teams have more money and more talented players but the strategy seems about the same.  The main differences I see is in pitching in the playoffs which is bullpen games and using openers rather then a starter to go 7 innings and carry your team to win now a slight sign of trouble they are taking them out.  With all these short inning guys and pitching them in certain pockets we are seeing very little offense and the hitting with runners in scoring position has been awful.  It all comes down to RISP at bats and getting 1 or 2 big base hits in those situations.  We just haven’t been able to get those hits so far in short series.

      And we've seen similar with Kjerstad. Kjerstad might be the best pure hitting prospect in the Orioles system of recent years besides Gunnar. I want to see him playing everyday next year is possible none of this sitting him versus LHP more often than not. These prospects need to get their reps and stop treating them like John Lowenstein and Benny Ayala.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I don’t see Elias trading off prospects anymore at least top guys.  We have moved a few guys in last year and I expect they try to build that back up.  They should have money to use if they want to add talent.

      Blah, well Rob Manfred has to be happy along with Fox network. A Yankees-Mets World Series match up is still on the table and the Dodgers as well if they win tomorrow. I knew the Royals would get jettisoned by the Yankees without too much of a fight.

      For Mountcastle …Maybe Chase Petty and Tristan Smith?

      I’m guessing they ask for Mayo or Basallo of Kjerstad. For me …I’d give them Kjerstad since he’s defensively challenged IMO. Maybe Kjerstad, McDermott, Beavers, and O’Ferrall?

      192 wins in two seasons is a pretty strong argument to stay the course.  That said, I wonder if the young players wouldn't be better off long-term if the scientific matchups took a back seat to the raw talent a little more than we've seen.  Overthinking something can be a thing you know.
