(vs. D-RAYS, 9/07)

 

Bundy just set a new franchise record (1901 - Present) for the most home runs ceded by a pitcher in a single season (36.)

Scott McGregor, Robin Roberts, Jeremy Guthrie, and Sidney Ponson had all ceded 35 HR's in a single season as franchise pitchers prior to Bundy coughing up #36.

50 is the record, so that is safe.

I remember reading about when Bert Blyleven surpassed Robin Roberts' single-season record of ceding home runs in 1986 in the newspaper. When asked about it, Blyleven said "Robin Roberts is in the Hall-of-Fame. If I ever get there someday, then I will gladly be historically linked to Robin Roberts."

Bundy sucks.

Might have been good at one point.  Might be good again in the future.  But as it stands right now, he sucks.  

He hardly ever gets to be schooled by Bobby D, if ever.  I am sure Bobby has influenced Dylan.  I mean Bobby Darin must have influenced Bobby Dylan right?  I wasn't listening to the boyz on tv last night.  I had Joe and Big Ben.  Did Bordy go all "Bobby D crazy" when Trey made his outstanding play?  ⚾

Slider on point.  Had swing and miss stuff.  Location was on.

IMO, fastball looked the same from a velo/movement perspective.  

Pitch f/x agrees with your analysis.   FB averaged 91.9, he got 12 whiffs out of 30 sliders thrown.

      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.

      RHH Outfield Targets

      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

      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.
