John Means 2021

I'm going to refer to this performance as the "near perfect" no hitter.

So was the wild pitch a pitch that a good catcher would have blocked, or a truly wild pitch?

Severino stops that pitch 95% of the time.  Curve in the dirt that scooted right under his glove and between his legs.

A good catcher would have caught it or blocked it. All the fans have been seeing this all season from Severino. It's like every game he plays he lets at least one pitch get by him when it was an easy ball stop or catch.

And a good catcher stops it 99% of the time.

Would it have been a perfect game if it was a passed ball instead?

Once a runner reaches base the perfect game is out the window.

Nope, still a baserunner.

No. Nobody is allowed to reach base in any way.

Nope.  PG is 27 up, 27 down.

Perfect game is as much of a team accomplishment as it is an accomplishment for the pitcher.

He might not have the best changeup on the team.

I think the evidence is growing in his favor.  

Can't believe I missed the game,.  But I'm sure MASN will show a replay at some point.  Congrats John Means!!!  So proud of him - he's come so far - just amazing.  This is so great.
