Always liked his approach.    I hope he has great success for the Angels.    I also hope a couple of the pitching prospects we got for him turn into something.     

Yes. He knows how to pitch. That will help him from time to time just because he gets how to make adjustments in game.  I hope he has success as well, the Angels are my dad’s team.

I wish him well and I think a fresh start is what is best for him, but this headline overstates things a bit.

He was going to be a free agent after 2021, the Orioles are very unlikely to be competitive in 2020 or 2021, so a trade made the most sense.

Hopefully the Orioles get some production from the 4 guys they got for Bundy.

I do agree that this should be on the MLB forum (or even merged in the ex-Orioles thread on that forum), but I look forward to watching and followin Bundy this year.

I felt since the last injury that when he came back his focus was on a nice, relaxed, smooth repeatable delivery, top velocity and results be damned.  It always felt there was a whole lot more velocity there but he came to terms that the only way to stay healthy was a smooth, repeatable delivery and rely on command.

He always had a relaxed, smooth repeatable delivery and command.  If his arm and shoulder cooperated, I had him comped out with the likes of Nolan Ryan and Roger Clemens. He knows how to pitch and has the arsenal to still be effective but lacks about 5-7 mph that he use to have that would put him up there with those guys. I feel bad for him because there probably isn’t very many guys out there that work harder than he does.

Complete game, 10k.

What is that, maybe only the 2nd 9 inning CG in the majors this year?  (Kyle Hendricks did it, I know).

Saw some of it (well, I had it on the screen with no sound while I listened to a book on CD, so I didn't actually pay too much attention.   But his command looked great when I did pay attention.   And he walked no one.

    • That Jimmy Fallon movie was Fever Pitch.  Came out in late 2004 I think, because they had enough time to have the last scene being him and Drew Barrymore on the field in St. Louis celebrating the World Series win.  It actually was a really good movie at the time. But because the Red Sox and their fanbase became completely insufferable beginning with that comeback against the Yankees and carrying all the way through their 4 championships without so much as a loss in the World Series, it is hard for me to still enjoy it. But the underlying premise and that question of what has your favorite team ever done for you definitely resonated and certainly does even more so now with the Orioles.  And for Os fans the answer to that question is over the last 40 years, they haven't done much at all.   
    • I have 13 game plan. Last year I was refunded. I hope I am this year.    The Ravens used to keep your money for playoff games not played and people complained. They stopped doing it. It’s pretty unethical in my opinion they keep the money towards next year. You can use that money for something else and make payments when they are due. Instead a business getting handouts from the state keeps your money.    The fact that you didn’t get playoff tickets due to this is alarming. They should wake up and be called out on this. It’s not acceptable. 
    • I didn't watch the Astros or Os press conferences, mainly because I didn't want to look at or hear anything Elias or Hyde said. But I imagine that Houston fans are going to be far more accepting of how things ended than our fans are (or should be). The Astros fan has had a pretty charmed life (cheating stigma aside) since the last time we won a playoff game.  
    • According to park factors, OPaCy was friendlier overall to righties compared to lefties. This is the second time in three season that has been the case. But it’s way friendlier to lefties in terms of hitting homers. 
    • Trade Mullins & Mountcastle. Let O’Hearn go.  Sign Juan Soto
    • As someone who attended 15 games this year in section 80, and watched numerous games on TV, I might have had the chance at 3 home runs.   RHB are trying to work the ball towards the bullpen versus dead pulls.   OPACY, due to the summer humidity, is still the homer dome in the summer time.  But this was supposed to be our benefit to stack the lineup with LHB, and it was also proved that a team could stack their playoff roster with LHP to neutralize it.   I think the dimensions are going to be the way they are for a while, and I think the pitchers are going to be fine with it overall.  There were far too many ‘cheap’ home runs from RHB on high pop ups, but also off the end of the bat from LHB.  
    • The Diamondbacks have 125 million in 10 players. Would they really want to have at $155-$165 million in 11 players of a $199 million payroll (their 2023 amount)?   https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/arizona-diamondbacks/payroll/_/year/2025/sort/cap_total2
