Like a shower when you overslept a ton, Bundy got in and out with a "King Cole" in 66 pitches. Yes, the slider usage was up to 36% (MICHAELSCOTTTHANKYOU.GIF) and he was able to sneak in four-seamers and curveballs for called strikes. I'm so not buying into this - the Twins are limiting him before the third time through the lineup and he's so often floundering against those 18 batters.

That low pitch count is odd as he was pulled early, and while you may look at this and go "oh that ain't so bad!", you should realize it's a 4.50 ERA with a 1.50 WHIP. Yeah, not what you want, even with the strikeouts. On the plus side, he did go 42% sliders - FINALLY - for 44% CSW. Maybe, just maybe, he learned a thing or two and can keep that breaker usage up. One can only hope.

Oh, right. Bundy is still a thing. Um, at least he sat 90 mph and went 30% sliders here? And still had just three strikeouts and a poor ERA? I think we got it. Okay, cool. That's a wrap.

I dunno, is this noteworthy at all? His slider + changeup returned 2/36 whiffs and he got a lot of strikes on four-seamers despite his lack of precision along the edges. No thanks, bucko.

He had been on a great run, but I think we all expected it to come to end in the near future. Why couldn't it be after this cushy start? But the Rangers are kinda heating up. NOT NOW. I think I'd pass against the White Sox next time out — I don't love this 50% fastball approach with just 14% sliders.

What if I told you Bundy earned a "King Cole" because of his changeup killing it at the bottom of the zone? Yeah, I know, it's wild. He also flipped some nice curveballs in the zone and featured some beautiful sliders to boot. You know, that's just 5 ER total across his last four starts now, even if the previous two tallied three strikeouts total. Nah, I'm not even going to "Vargas Rule" this, even with the Rangers next. Far too dangerous.

Were you daring enough to chase Bundy against "Rockie Road"? Props to you, I sure wasn't. 28% slider usage is a little encouraging, but he needs to do more than be super-efficient with balls in play for me to jump back in.

Oh wow. Bundy did this throwing his slider...15% of the time. He instead leaned on the changeup and curveball more, the latter earning called strikes galore. This has all the signs of a "Birthday Party" and you're better off forgetting it.

He went 31% sliders (yay!) but his four-seamer went 4/34 CSW and that's an atrocity. We need that heater to do a bit more work than that, or his slider has to hit 40% usage.

Sooooooo Bundy tossed 29% sliders in this one for 44% CSW. IT'S ABOUT DANG TIME BUNDY. Can you up that to 35%+ and do this a second time against the Tigers? Dang that would be cool.

Not only was I upset Bundy started this game in the first place, but I'm exasperated that Josh Winder pitched in relief. Whaaaaaaat?! He was supposed to START on Friday! Nope, Winder went 78 pitches here, following Bundy for 3.2 IP, 5 ER, 9 Hits, 2 BBs, 1 Ks - 6 Whiffs, 24% CSW, 78 pitches. Against the Athletics. Yikes. That's a drop from me as who knows how we'll see Winder used moving forward, though I wonder whether Winder's performance was influenced by some confusion about his role on the team — it's different pitching in relief than starting a game proper. Regardless, I hate dealing with the unknown for rotation spots, especially with a pitcher who I don't believe pushes the needle a whole lot. It's okay to move on here.

We gave up on Bundy after last time and this just seems cruel. I think I could hear Bundy after the ninth run scored. Why are you acting like I hate you? You traded ME away. Poor guy.

Yeaaaaaah, we knew this wouldn't last. But he had seven strikeouts! And allowed his first two longballs of the year. We're still seeing fewer sliders than we'd like — just 18% usage here — and this just feels like a clear avoid. Womp. Womp.

I'm not going to spend very long talking about Dylan Bundy, but I felt we needed to have a chat after yesterday's 5.0 IP, 0 ER, 4 Hits, 0 BBs, 4 Ks - 5 Whiffs, 33% CSW, 79 pitches that now has his season marks at 0.59 ERA and a 0.72 WHIP. Wait, seriously?! Yeah. I know.
And it's not completely undeserved. He raised his slider usage to 30% yesterday (finally!) and it performed as it should at 38% CSW. His curveball and changeup both got in on the action as well. And his four-seamer? Just a 12.5% hard contact allowed this season is phenomenal, especially when he's still sitting just 89 mph. Bundy has also elected to throw more sliders in two-strike counts while the heater takes a backseat. Phew.
Do I think these changes and recent performance outline a legit rebound for Bundy? Not really, no. I don't expect the heater to perform at this level and until I see Bundy sit 35%+ usage with his slider consistently, I'm going to anticipate some legit blowups due to that heater — he's not locating it any better — and his changeup/curve aren't enough to complement the slider. That said, if you want to "Vargas Rule" this as Bundy could improve from here (more sliders, increased velocity, consistency on changeup/curve, etc.) go for it. This very well isn't going to last, though.

Ummm Nick. Does this mean Bundy is good again? Bundy somehow managed to earn 39% CSW on fastballs that came in 2.5 ticks slower than usual, and only featured his elite slider 21% of the time. He's also lost nearly 400 rpm on his curveball and 280 rpm on his slider. No, we're not fixed and I hate how much of a tease this start was.
