From the look on Bundy's face...I think he knows that he'll be on the street soon. 

Serves him right!!!!!

I should have waited to do yard work instead of doing it this morning. Ted bundy would have done only slightly worse today

Ted Bundy had electric stuff.

[Aggies7]

Walking the 9 hitter with a .143 BA to set up the force at any base is next level baseball strategy by the new guy

Atta kid Hamilton. Tough spot to get your first appearance.

Let's hope we're done with pollyanna tweets like "It was a bad day but our brave hero Bundy bared down and saved the bullpen" nonsense that we heard the last time he gave up 6 runs.

The dude's toast. Like @USAFChief, I unfortunately don't think this is his last start. He'll likely get at least 2-3 more starts and then 2-3 more looks out of the bullpen before he's DFA'ed. Twins will unfortunately throw away a few more games while they try and figure out what the world already knows.

No humor like death row humor.

No on wants to take a walk.

Unfortunately, you're probably right, but no offense meant...I really, REALLY, hope you're wrong.

Bundy started the year great going 3-0 with 0.59 ERA while averaging around 5 innings per start. Since then, in 6 starts he is 0-3 (assuming the Twins don't come back today) with a 9.12 ERA while only averaging 4 innings a game. It's hard to believe that Sands would be worse, and by giving the starts to a rookie the innings would at least be going towards player development.

[MadHits]

Looks like a get right game for Berrios. Just wish he coulda waited for his next outing.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Gonna step out.

 

I expect the comeback to be wellunder way when i return!

[Aggies7]

always great when a new pitcher fits right in seamlessly. Fall behind and give up a gopher ball

[Mill1634]

Third time I'm shutting off a Twins game this year.

Until tomorrow,

Go Twins

[Parfigliano]

Jays game to play long ball

[Aggies7]

This would have been a perfect time to get pagan some low leverage work

[LA Vikes Fan]

Ok, well. I guess we now know why the team wasn't rushing to get Hamilton up here.

Well Mr Wilfong...you might get your position player pitching wish to come true today. I don't know who it's gonna be, but things are trending that way.

I'm not advocating for Bundy by any means but it's not very difficult to imagine Sands would be worse.

Non Toronto version:

"Ryan/Gray in the lead we'll stay, hand the ball to Pagan and the lead is gone."

[Puckettsprintstofirst]

Goal coming in was to win 1 out of 3.  Mission accomplished.  Not feeling great about tomorrow either, but playing with house money at this point I guess.

I hope this is the starting rotation when everyone is healthy. Ryan, Gray, Smeltzer, Ober, Winder (Archer goes to the bullpen, Bundy DFAed)

[PDX Twin]

We are ahead when I go to get my booster. I come home and the disaster we've come to expect is happening. You've all let me down!

Maybe so, but if Sands can't improve on a 9+ ERA he's going to have a hard time keeping a 40 man roster spot. Finding out if Sands is a major league caliber pitcher seems like a lot more useful way to use the innings that continuing to give Bundy starts.
