There are two kinds of Orioles pitchers: the ones who are hit-or-miss, and the ones who are just consistently bad. This season, Dylan Bundy has been in the second group, but in his last few starts he showed enough brilliance to make you hope he’d been promoted to plain-old inconsistent. So which Dylan Bundy would show up for today’s game?
Well, today, Bundy was frustratingly, maddeningly Bundy: getting plenty of swings-and-misses with the breaking stuff but tossing a leaden fastball that stayed around 89-91 mph; staying low with the pitch count but running out of steam after five innings; giving up just four hits, except two of them were home runs.
