There isn’t a significant difference in command. That’s just silly. And yes, I’m glad you need to be told by someone that leaving pitches in the middle of the plate is a bad thing. 😁 -

Sure..the bar isn’t high for the Os right now. At this moment, Means should get a start over any starter that isn’t GRod or Bradish…of course matchups can be part of that too. Kremer has good numbers vs Houston, so maybe he goes ahead of Means but Means is the better pitcher. It’s one start..anything can happen in one start. It’s why mentioning how he does in one start is completely irrelevant and a poor example of things. However, you hope that Means keeps building and you hope that he keeps getting better and last night was obviously better. And btw, with regards to below average K/9, it depends on way more factors and just how below average the K/9 is. -
I already said he wasn't a thrower but there is a significant difference in command between the 2 . If a pitcher leaves his stuff in the middle of the plate, MLB hitters do harm-- at least that is what that hack (palmer) says and he may even know what he's talking about. -
It also seems like he has the power to hit it out in LF at OPACY. -

I'd say below average K/9. Granted it would be extremely unusual for Means to sustain his ERA with current 3.1 K/9. We will probably see both normalize. From what I saw last night though I would love for him to bring that kind of command to a playoff start and see what happens. -
Not that I am comparing them at all… but the one thing great pitchers have is their tempo.. they push the hitter usually faster than they are comfortable and they stay ahead in counts. Means at his best has wonderful tempo and Maddux was the best ever at that. Mike Cuellar was a master tempo artist as well. -

No, that’s not a problem for me. That’s 100% a problem for you because you are taking an extreme outlier and trying to make it mean something when, in fact, it means nothing. Anything that is an extreme is an example to throw out. Just because something is possible doesn’t mean it’s probable, will be repeated or anything like that.
