Let's be sure to welcome Dylan Bundy home this week

[InsideCoroner]

Bundy allowed 7 runs in his first four starts, and 9 runs last night. And just like that, his ERA jumps from 2.95 to 5.76.

Hoep we can welcome Kevin Gausman back in a similar fashion later this season.

Just looked up Gausman stat line and he's given up zero walks and zero home runs in 31.2 innings pitched this season.

He's due for a bad game.

That's how I see it. Even assuming Gausman is an upper echelon starting pitcher now. I don't think Gausman is on the level of Pedro Martinez or Greg Maddux and he's due for a correction.

My brain wants to explode when it tries to think of an "elite" Gausman.  To many memories of alternating between good and bad Gausman every 2 or 3 starts.

I'd like to believe this, but it looks like he's just on an upward trajectory.   He's not on a Maddux level for a career or even a full season but 0 walks in 31.2 innings is Madduxian.

Cy Young like actually.

Yeah, if the season ended today he'd probably be the front runner.

Can't wait to see what he does against us.

Pssh.  We won't have even our first game against Toronto until the middle of June.  So many things could be different by then. 

Adley could be here...................half of the Jays rotation could be on the IL.............in addition.............ummmmmm......Adley will probably be here?

As of now I don't exactly expect to making a similar thread for that first homecoming game (which won't even be until the 2nd half of the year).

Honestly I think it was the injuries and subsequent loss of velo that did him in. Pre-injury Bundy seemed like he was on the fast track to the show, and for good reason. Not sure if lack of seasoning was the issue.

I'm sure it was that. I'm just alluding to two things...he jumped right into the majors and the wear on his arm at an early age.  I don't recall if he even rehabbed in the minors or had to do it with the big club. I also wasn't thrilled with how they developed Gausman, or didn't.

Bundy tested positive for Covid. Must've felt miserable last night.

I’m trying to remember how long Koji’s streak was while he was with us.   
Edit: 34 innings to close 2010, then another 3.2 to start 2011.

It didn’t help, but that’s got nothing to do with his struggles in recent years.   

I think we're in full agreement

More than one scout said Bundy was the best high school pitcher they ever saw. One long time respected scout, Art Stewart of the Royals and others, said he was right there with Dwight Gooden.
