Means has 16 first pitch strikes on the first 17 batters he's faced today.  That's how you keep the game moving and get outs.

Strike ONE!

How many Pitching Coach's have stressed that over the years? Sounds like such a simple idea.... Like in golf.... Keep your eye on the ball. Sounds simple...

Interesting given our early discussion.   MLB.com's Gameday scoreboard is labelling this game as if no one had reached base for Seattle.

Means is doing his part.  Let's get some runs now.

The box score does show a "CS", however.  Interesting.

Means is pitching out of his mind right now.

Was wondering about that. A WP doesn’t go down as an error...
