He touched 94 several times last night.  I think the location was off on the pitches that got clocked...and Mookie is the wrong person to miss your location to...maybe the rain, who knows?   I think Bundy looked OK except for the pitches that got sent out of the yard. 

I remember the day I first saw Bundy against the Red Sox, September 2012. i thought this was the guy we had been hearing about all summer, something special. He pitched OK, but not special, no 97-98, not he guy that was compared to Dwight Gooden in High School. i tried to rationalize it, maybe nerves, tired from first full season pitching, but in the end it was not special. Looking back he was probably hurt then, but he started pitching the following year only to be shut down and finally had TJ. Fast forward to 2016 and that day in Dodger Stadium when he struckout like seven in three innings of relief, WOW finally he was special. What happened to that Bundy, he seemed to pitch well, 94-95 the rest of that season and there was hope of an Ace. Then last year,while good he didn't show that same velocity, now he pitches at 90-91 no room for error. Last night once he fell behind Betts with a base open he should have pitched around him like Porcello did to Manny earlier. in that spot you can't let Betts beat you. Long winded reply to say, yes I'm concerned about his drop in velocity, he is only 25. We got he one that didn't come back from TJ as good if not better. Stuff happens.

Wow, just wow, I wish I could have seen today’s game.    14 K, 2-hit complete game.     There was only one inning where he had trouble, and even in that inning he struck out two, one of whom reached base when the pitch got past Sisco  (scored a wild pitch).    Great outing.

120+ pitches. Did not see it either but I do not like Buck stretching our future ace in a meaningless game.

I was a little surprised he came out for the 9th, having thrown 106 pitches to that point.   My guess is Buck wanted to give him a shot at the team record for most strikeouts in a game (15).    He didn’t get any strikeouts in the 9th, but didn’t labor too much, throwing only 15 pitches in the inning.

That is a dumb reason to push a guy past pitch count. Look at what happened to Kerry Wood. Classic Buck going by gut feeling and sentiment.

Kerry Wood was gonna have arm issues no matter what.  

As opposed to Bundy who has already had TJ and shoulder issues with velocity decline? They should not take any unnecessary risk. If this team has any valuable future asset it is Bundy.

I had to get up extra early today to get our house locks changed and missed most of this napping trying to make up on sleep. Hate I missed it. Gargantuan effort by Bundy.

Always forget about that. Don’t phrases like “worst ever in a pitcher” get thrown around?  

Bundy might have been the next Clemens. 

I know he is not throwing 100, but he averaged over 93.5 and maxed almost 95.  Per pitch fx.  With his full pitch arsenal working, couldn’t he still be TOR anyway?   Regardless he is my favorite pitcher to watch.  Wish I could have seen more of today.

Loved the outing yesterday, but why on earth do you throw Bundy 126 pitches....in May...when you have the worst record in baseball...and a huge lead.  I just do not get it.

      Grade the Eflin Trade

      By Just Regular · Posted

      The earliest 2025 NFBC results exist, and slotted him about the 30th best AL starter for 2025 alone's expected statistical production.    Eflin and all five guys in Tampa's forecast rotation (Baz, McClanahan, Pepiot, Bradley, Springs) fell around that level. That assumes free agents Burnes, Snell, Flaherty, Kikuchi, Pivetta, Fried and Manaea fall about half into the AL. He'll start Opening Day, but it is a byproduct of the disappointing beginning to Grayson's career and Bradish's current injury. I think odds are pretty low he is a 2026 Oriole.

      Whoever we add needs to be able to play a solid CF or LF at OPACY and Pham definitely does not fit that bill.

      I'm one for Tommy Pham, even though I'll take heat for it.  I think the veteran aspect of it could be key. O'Neil would be great, but he also brings more of what we have in the Ks and HRs department

      Let's see how he does over a full year here first so we don't overpay for a SSS. He was pretty pedestrian prior to the trade.

      Do we agree that developing Kjerstad RF, Holliday 2B and Mayo 1B/DH.......

      By MarCakes21 · Posted

      I could see against tough lefties Holiday sits, Westy at 2B, and Mayo at 3B.  Or Holiday at SS to spell Gunnar sometimes too and this being the configuration. But yes, most of Holiday at 2B, Westy at 3B and Mayo DH or 1B.

      I don't think you bring Slater back if you add Bader (unless Austin's willing to take a MiLB deal and start the year at Norfolk) because then you have to get rid of either Urias or Mateo, and that doesn't seem wise with how thinned out the IF depth is now and Holliday still trying to get his feet under him.

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      This is true. However, it is more situational in the post season. Guys are pitched to differently. You have to take what the game gives you. Home runs happen, but the best teams know when to take that shot and when to shorten up or be more line drive oriented. Home runs can be a surprise to good hitters who simply were in time and put a good swing on plane through the ball. It was a line drive that ran out of field. Hitters have to know who they are. Some sit on fast balls early in the count in a certain small box. If they get it, they take that A swing. Or maybe they sit off speed early. They may take a strike that is more of a pitcher’s pitch, or one they were not looking for. if you’re sitting fastball early, not a great idea to swing at a curveball. Or vice versa. Whatever the case, with two strikes, you have to think contact and productive at bat. For some, that approach may be sooner in the at bat, of the situation dictates it. There is no BABIP if there is not a ball in play. So luck plays no role in a strikeout. It seemed like the Orioles, as a whole, in 2024 were looking a certain pitch, and if the pitch was hittable they would hack. Even if it was just off the plate. Too many big swings, and tons of resulting misses, in key situations where shortening up a bit was the better approach. Lastly, not many of our guys are true “home run hitters.” What I mean by that is when Santander strikes out swinging at a piece ch with a big cut. I get it. That is his game to be focused on driving the ball. That is what he gets paid to do. Along with that comes a fair amount of swing and miss, and roll over ground balls. Not all our hitters should be having the same approach. Gunnar may hit 35-40 home runs in a season, but he is a much more dynamic hitter than just a “home run guy.” He is capable of doing anything on the field. He is extremely talented, and we have a few more that may fall into that category some day. There are times to adjust and take what the game gives you. Go oppo for a single, put pressure on the defense. This game is hard, but we can do better. If we are going to win, we must do much better.
