I think a better defense would absolutely help him.

But, I dont think his stuff as being playing out as a TOR, like the hype was.

That ship sailed with all of his injuries.  But I feel like he could have been more like a 4.50 ERA guy than a 5.00 guy if his defense played better behind him.   And, I feel that by happenstance, the defense has played particularly poorly when he’s been on the mound.   It’s been a poor defense generally, but a bit worse for Bundy than others, IMO.

Every season, there is usually that one hard luck pitcher, when the batters sleep in his games, or make lapses in the field more than the other guys.

I hate to blame the injuries, but, I just wonder if the Orioles failed to develop him properly.

We will never know.

Bad defense is one thing.  Sauntering off the pitcher's mound after a passed ball while two runners come in to score is another.  Bundy's tantrum last night is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen in an MLB game.  I wouldn't mind one bit if the Orioles released him today.  

Good lord. Guess you’ve never been in a situation where stuff snowballs and you make a mistake out of frustration. You could use a little perspective. And that definitely wasn’t “sauntering.”

Also, I didn’t read Bundy not covering as a tantrum, I think he started walking off then spaced on the second guy.

I can understand brain farts.  If Bundy just had a brain fart then at some point he would have reacted instinctively and made a break for home to try to get the second runner.  But Bundy never even twitched towards home plate.  His body language throughout the episode suggested that he was mad at his defense and didn't give a damn if two runs came in.  That's bush league.  He was putting his own anger and sense of grievance ahead of the team.  

The dictionary definition of "saunter", by the way, is to walk in a slow, unhurried manner.  In what way was Bundy not "sauntering"?  He was walking slowly towards the dugout the whole time.

I did not see the play, but this seems like an absurd overreaction.     And so I’m clear, what was Bundy’s “tantrum?”    Are you just referring to him “sauntering” off the mound, or did he do something else?

ThEre are lengthy quotes about the play here: https://www.masnsports.com/school-of-roch/2019/09/a-bloop-and-blunders-in-sixth-cost-os-in-4-2-loss.html

Bundy couldn’t explain what happened on the passed ball because he didn’t see it.

“Not sure,” he said. “I know he swung and then it went to the backstop. That’s all I could see from my perspective. Not sure what happened. I’ll look at it on video tomorrow.”

Asked about his failure to cover the plate, Bundy said, “I thought it was a strikeout. From where I was, I couldn’t really see where the ball was.”

Yeah, his explanation is garbage. So, he couldn’t see where the ball was? How about when Severino turned and ran to the backstop?

He was pissed and it showed, then forgot to cover the plate. I get the frustration, but the reaction cost them a run. Can’t happen.

There are videos of the play.  Please watch it before you say that I am overreacting.  There was a live play going on all around him, with his catcher racing to the backstop and runners circling the basses, and he just walked slowly off the mound like nothing was going on.

You are overreacting if you are saying you’d like him to be released.    I don’t need to see the play to know that.    He didn’t kill or punch anybody.   He’s never had an attitude problem.   If he acted out on one play (which may or may not have happened), that’s cause for his manager to give him a stern talking to.    It’s not cause to release him.

      Good point, no other metropolitan area has more than one team.

      Could it be that they allowed the Gnats to reside within 30 minutes of their home. Effectively cutting their market in half?

      41 freaking years and here's this guy with the name pickles telling me I should be happy with 91 wins and getting owned in the playoffs again. 😂 😂 I saw a team that looked terrible the second half and probably didn't even deserve that spot the way they were playing .

      I don’t like the wall. I think it’s affecting our hitters. I’ve mentioned before that I think it has totally warped Mountcastle into something he was never really meant to be. The guy came up as a pull-heavy HR hitter, and in his first season-plus (725 PAs), he puts up 38 HRs and a 116 wRC+. Since then, the wRC+ is down to 110, and his approach has totally changed, with his pull numbers plummeting (down from 39% in 2021 to less than 28% this year). He still hits the ball hard, but constantly underachieves his batted ball data — probably because he’s trying to avoid the pull field and hitting balls to the deepest parts of pretty much every other park. Will the same thing happen to Mayo? Maybe he has more pure power, but it’s always going to be a challenge for a RH slugger to survive with that wall. So much harder to do damage.   Beyond that, I think it’s also creating a serious risk of changing our LH hitters’ approaches too. These guys (Henderson, Holliday, Cowser, 2/3 of Adley) have come up with a reputation for being able to drive the ball to all fields. But how long does that continue when they just can’t hit it out to the opposite field? Our LH hitters had a combined 44 wRC+ at OPACY, and only one HR. They had the 3rd most balls hit to LF at home by LHHs, but the lowest wRC+ of any team on those balls (for the second straight year). The Royals, ironically enough, were the only team that was lower than a 70 wRC+ — that’s how much worse our lefties fared going oppo (at OPACY) than everyone else’s. By player: Gunnar Henderson: 112 wRC+ / .160 ISO (51 PAs) Adley Rutschman: 10 wRC+ / .026 ISO (38 PAs) Anthony Santander: 14 wRC+ / .095 ISO (43 PAs) Colton Cowser: 58 wRC+ / .057 ISO (36 PAs) Ryan O’Hearn: 47 wRC+ / .091 ISO (55 PAs) Cedric Mullins: 23 wRC+ / .100 ISO (41 PAs) Jackson Holliday: -72 wRC+ / .000 ISO (16 PAs)   On the road, they had a combined 126 wRC+ (with 9 HRs) going to left field, so it’s not like they’re bad at it. It’s just Death Valley out there in LF for them at OPACY.  How long will it be until these LH guys just start going full pull-happy? Essentially, the opposite of what’s happened with Mountcastle. When (a) your team’s philosophy is to focus on doing damage and (b) you can’t DO damage to the opposite field — the rational endpoint is just to try to pull everything. I don’t think that’s a good outcome. I think it makes them much worse hitters in the other 81 games, and I think it’s a terrible waste of a bunch of really talented hitters with all-field abilities.
