Not a good outing.  Curious to see how he's going to bounce back in the next start.

It's nice that we have a rookie that we can say 3 runs in 5 innings is "not a good outing".   We haven't had that in several years.

Ah...nevermind.

We will see who's still around in 3-5 years per the Eilias/Hyde plan.

Especially since for some of them it would have been considered a decent "kept-us-in-the-game" outing.

Half the staff is elated if they get through an appearance without allowing a homer to Duane Kuiper.

Seriously? By 2019 standards, this is a very good outing for the club. I would be quite content if every O’s starter could go 5 and only give up 3. So far, Means looks pretty good even on his off days.

That's cool but I'm looking past 2019 standards.  Plus he only had 1 strikeout, 3 walks.  That's not good.

So what’s his trade value?  Too soon?  Haha

Glad to see he’s doing great. He was always a cool follow in the minor league section.

This was like his WORST outing of the year. Isn't he already Kuechel?
