vs. RANGERS, 9/05

[OFFNY]

o

 

John Alan Means appears to have gradually  bounced back since the outing just prior to his minor injury last month.

He had a bad outing in his final game prior to the injury against the Diamondbacks, and another bad one in his first game back against the Yankees after coming off of the IL.

In the outing after that (also against the Yankees), he showed sings of dominance in the first 3 innings before the New Yorkers smacked him around in the 4th.

Then he pitched reasonably well (not great, not bad) against the Royals.

Then he had what was arguably his best outing of the season against the Rays, throwing 7 Innings of 1-Run Ball.

Then he followed that up with another solid outing in his most recent game, throwing 7 Innings of 2-Run Ball against the Royals.

In his last 3 outings combined, he has a 2.37 ERA and an 0.842 WHIP with 2 Walks and 15 Strikeouts over 19 Innings Pitched.

 

Kolby Kenneth Allard was a 1st-Round draft pick of the Atlanta Braves back in 2015, signing for a $3 Million bonus out of high school when he was only 17 years-old.

MLB.com still has TBD for O's starter. Is it not unusual for there to be a delay or discrepancy like that? As of 2:48 pm EST:

Hey bedwetters, what's the good word?  

[SteveA]

Nice quick 12 pitch first for Means.

[SteveA]

Hanser!   Bunts for a hit.   Vs a lefty.

And it was a great bunt.

[Moose Milligan]

First and third with one out, I like it.

And Nunez hit one hard the other way against the shitf....but Odor made a great play.

Well, this is a nice match up. For those like quality radio, you might try the Ranger guys. They’ve been very complimentary about our starting pitcher so far.

I’m pretty sure that Moose is already listening.

I had a feeling you'd be in here talking about how amazing Eric Nadel is.  And you didn't disappoint.

[Moose Milligan]

I wonder if Alberto could have made that throw, he was very deep in the hole.

He's the third violin at the Arlington Philharmonic right?

Eric Nadel is the Bach of announcers.

If God wanted a play by play person for games, he'd choose Eric Nadel.

Still talking myself into thinking that September at bats for Trumbo is ok.  I'm trying to remain calm here.

If it's a choice between him and Davis...

 

Anyway Mountcastle has to sit home until spring ruminating on why he didn't walk more.
