What type of "simulation" is that? You're making me glad I never bought into that game.

Why?   I’d much rather watch that than the real thing.

I'm not really sure where you got this from. Cobb has been very good for a while now, 2 months +.

You are right.  For some reason I thought his last 2-3 starts weren't great.

I'm not going to call Bundy a bust. He obviously never regained the stuff he had before TJ surgery and doesn't appear to be healthy now.

He definitely has the mound presence you want from an Ace. He just doesn't have the ability right now.

If Bundy had the stuff he had before the surgery (throwing upper 90's) who knows how good he would be. It's ashame.

He was 15 percent better than average.  Wish they had someone that good now.

Ben got overused in college.  I think his career is much different if he had a reasonable workload at LSU.

Absolutely agree.

78 career wins, 24 complete games, 6 shutouts, a career ERA of 3.91, and a career WHIP of 1.257 ....... all the while pitching his entire 9-year career in the American League (with the Designated Hitter), and the last few years having been pitched in the offensively-inflated steroid era.

Ben McDonald ended up with 20 WAR. Bundy is at 4 WAR now... I would be thrilled if he ended up anywhere near 20.

He said that he never even in the minors had the stuff he had at LSU.

I chalk it up to too much crocodile wrestling.

Ace Marotta did a pretty good job on Bundy before this game, too. 

1 Earned Run over 6 Innings Pitched.

Ace Marotta working his magic again. 

It would be great if he could stop the bleeding more consistently.

2 consecutive solid outings for Bundy. 

Hire the cut man, full-time.

 

His fastest pitch of the night was 94 MPH ........ in the 7th inning, on his100th pitch (out of 105) of the night.

Hopefully he can do the same in his final one or two starts left on the year and build on this into 2019.

His next start will be Sunday vs the Yankees.  He could play a part in making them have to go on the road for the wild card game.   I'm all for that.

Just a joke with my good friend Moose who seemed to think Bundy was done and commented that nobody should care what we do with him for the rest of the year. Or, I should say, moose commented “who cares” when shortsighted OHers were commenting on what to do with him for the remainder of the season. I suggested that it was a great opportunity to have him work on things (like a new change) and it appears he (Dylan) reads the board, or maybe he just works on things anyway, hard to say.
