Gameday Thread: Angels @ A's 6/14/21: Bundy on the mound

[UndertheHalo]

Getting tough for me to maintain my position that Bundy should get extended.  I’m still solidly behind the HeanDawg.

Yep.  As I jokingly alluded to in another post, I think he's either hurt or he was using some "foreign substances" earlier and now he's not.  Either way, not good.

[UndertheHalo]

Very sad. 

[fan_since79]

Missed the last inning, was out watering the lawn. Gonna be a scorcher tomorrow.

Someone said Bundy's fastball was down to 89mph? Sounds like an IL stint is in order. Two months is fine with me.

[failos]

Good grief. Time to watch something else.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm still concerned that a Heaney extension might come back to bite the Angels.  He's already making $6.75M this season.  He's pitched well at times this year, but he still has stretches where he's just flat-out bad. Unless it's something minor like 2/$20, I wouldn't bother with it.

EDIT: Some of Heaney's most similar comps to this point in his career: Kendall Graveman (making $1.25M this year), Tyler Anderson (making just over $2M), Mark Redman, Tyler Skaggs (ugh), Tony Freitas, Trevor Williams (making $2.5M this season), etc.  So Heaney is already at the very top of the salary list among pitchers who've had similar careers historically.

That Pinder baserunning error is going to loom large when we win this game by 1 run

You are not wrong.

Combing Bundy's and Quintana loses this season we are at 10 lose. 

Something tells me if Barria was starting in spot of one of these guys, we'd have a better record.

Speaking of Quintana...haven't heard much about his "injury."  His last start was May 30, so we're well past the 10-day mark at this point.  (I'm in no way advocating for bringing him back soon, btw...Just pointing out that it's been a while.)

Dont worry, they will put Bundy on the IL soon and bring back Quintana.

That’s interesting. I’d still rather see the Jazz win

[Vlad27Trout27]

If your trying to aim for the Payoffs, You can't have a guy that's 1-7 taking the ball every 5 days. Outside of the fours starts Bundy just doesn't have the command/control along with the stuff..

if he was 3-3 or 3-4 we'd be in a better spot.

DB almost had a quality start last time. I took a flier on him in my CBS league and he spoiled the mattress. so to speak. Now I may be stuck with him for his second start of the week against Detroit. Oh well.

Ya I mean, he shouldn’t get much of a raise.  That said.  We have to have pitchers next year.  If you get Heaney on a reasonable deal.  That works.

In my country, DB stands for “dumb bitch” or “douche bag”

[Docwaukee]

And just to be clear, 2/$20M is my absolute top-of-the-range-type of deal.  Even that would lead to some unease on my part.  He's probably more like 2/$15M--but of course he wouldn't do that. He just doesn't have the track record to justify any sort of even pretty good salary.

It’s a bad game. Let’s keep it at one bad game.

Shoutout to Iglesias and Fletcher for not mailing this one in.

Just curious.  Is ERA +  100 considered average or replacement?
