Means got up to 97 pitches in his first start so he should be good for much more than 70.  And he's a better pitcher than any long man we would use here.

I would not have him on such a short leash.  One baserunner in the 5th when you have given up one run to one of the better lineups in baseball and your pitch count in the 70s?  No way would I do that.

And yet that’s what Hyde did, and I’m glad for it.
