Does Bundy's stuff look as good today as the box score reflects?

Slider looks real good as his out pitch, but he's also thrown some real hangers that just float into the zone to get ahead of the count. Fastball with a little bit better control, 90-91. Threw 1 really good curveball.

Palmer has said his slider is as good as it's been. It has been his KO pitch.

Darn.

[OldNewGuy]

Mancini would like another hack at that pitch. GO 6-3. Inning over.

[nevadaO]

Darn.

Bundy being Bundy.

Explain to me why Bundy throws anything near Davis there? 1st base open. 1 out... Just walk Davis and set up the double play!!

Just pulled up the MLB scoreboard, said orioles were up 1-0. Hit it to load, gameday loaded, Orioles down 2-1 thanks to a Kris Davis home run of Dylan "gopher" Bundy.

It was barely a home run.

Well, not a disaster of an inning. Bundy came back well after the HBP.

It had a .730 xBA so it was hit pretty good either way. If first base was open, not sure why Bundy would be throwing anything close to Kris Davis who literally owns the Orioles.

Another first row Camden Homer. 378' Ball is flying this year in cool weather. Does not bode well for Jul\Aug.

He was pitching pretty well up to that point. He missed his spot badly. Severino sitting off outside corner and he left the fastball middle-in, knee high.

Ugh.  Jim Hunter doing the game.

True!

Speaking of that, heard Kevin Brown the other day for the first time for an extended time. Really, really enjoyed him. I'm hoping he becomes the full-time next year with Johnson and McDonald splitting time as analysts.

Is the ball flying, or are the balls being hit hard off some poor pitching? I'm not seeing too many cheap HRs. Even in the first row, that ball had a .730 xBA. That means it was hit well.
