As the Orioles' season wound down in September, one of the few players who endured the entire thing kept putting off any kind of reflection until he was back home.
Now that the season is over, Dylan Bundy has plenty to examine.
The Orioles' Opening Day starter had a season defined by its peaks and valleys, the totality of which made for a frustrating one for him and the club that has spent years waiting for him to be the 30-start, top-of-the-rotation starter many expect.
"I came into this year and my goal was 30 starts, and it looks like I'm going to get 31 — 32 if you count the rainout — but that's my goal coming into the year, 30 starts," Bundy said in the final week of the season.
