(Dylan Bundy - in the Orange Vols shirt, not the kid in the glasses - on draft night. Screen grab via MLB.com)
Orioles first pick in 2011 MLB Draft Dylan Bundy, and his brother, Bobby (drafted by the O's in 2008), talked to 105.7 The Fan Baltimore's Steve Davis on the radio yesterday. At the end of the interview, (jump to the 7:44 mark), Davis asks the Bundy brothers if they'd seen the video of the Bryce Harper smooching incident. Of course they had. The conversation continued like this:
Davis: "So Dylan I'll ask you the question: if you were facing Bryce Harper in the next game or you were the next pitcher to face him, what happens to Bryce Harper?"
Dylan: "Well if I was pitching the next game I'd hit him all four at bats."
Davis: "I like you! We should sign you right now. Bobby, what about you?"
Bobby: "Same thing. That kid can't do that. That was a little over the top. I guess he did get hit in previous at bats and maybe he felt like it was for nothing, but still, in baseball etiquette you don't blow a kiss to the pitcher like that. It's just not something you do."
Good thing the Nationals drafted Bryce's older brother Bryan; if he signs, and the O's sign Bundy, the stars are now perfectly aligned for a Battle of the Beltways steel cage match pitting the Bundy Brothers vs. the Harper Brothers.
Finally, something interesting happens in the Battle of the Beltways: smack talking between O's and Nats prospects! What say you, Harper brothers?
Aren't the Bundy bro's distant relatives with Ted Bundy? Violence seems to run deep in that family.
My guess is in 7 to 8 years both of them will be out of baseball and working like their Uncle Al Bundy selling women's shoes at Nordstroms.
What a bunch of a$$ clowns.

Bobby Bundy has been in A ball for 3 years and still not dominating so we will see if he ever gets a sniff of a MLB clubhouse other than being on a stadium tour.

What POS jerks.. OK, hit him 4 times, that's 4 baserunners, with speed and revenge on HIS mind.. of course, after the first one, you get warned, so the second costs you the start and your manager a suspension.. gotta figure there's a brawl somewhere around the third hit, so now you jeopardize your team to injuries, suspensions and fines, never mind the retaliatory hits YOUR team gets for plunking Harper.... HEY MORONS, what YOU DON'T do is run your faux tough-guy mouths like petty little maggots.. BTW, would YOU as the pitcher blow a kiss to Harper in the first inning when you struck him out on a ball and bad call? Cause, you idiots, that's what Harper was answering back for when he blew his kiss... go home to Podunk and work in your uncle's paint store, since you lack the acuity and maturity to play this game, you thugs... and HEY thanks Mr. DJ for egging them on, that's great broadcast journalism there, too

"With speed and revenge on HIS mind" Who says that? This is exactly why DC doesn't deserve baseball. Nats Fan(s) know nothing about the sport.

You Expos fans are hilarious. So you're saying the next time Ryan Howard decides to deposit a Nats pitch in the right field bleachers, if he blew a kiss to your pitcher you would want someone to throw at him? Bryce Harper is a pompous ass who will get his if he decides to pull that crap in the Bigs. Kudos to the Bundy brothers for showing some spine and endearing themselves to the fan base.

You only have to hit the piece of trash once and see if he even gets up. And if so, knock him on his backside again. Some some professionalism or go back to Follywood.

Great, the loser Whorioles fans chime in. What is there, about 2,000 Orioles season ticket holders left that don't buy their tickets to profit off of selling them to Red Sox and Yankees fans? What a disgrace.
They are so jealous that the Nats have Bryce Harper.
Look at the bright side in Bal'more, you have the Peter and his Angelo$ kids for the rest of your living days to run that team.

Maybe someone can create O's Enquirer for inquiring losers.
