I wonder what half-mound is in the Metric system? lol

Royale Mound

Should clarify that the regular mound looks like on Friday but will probably be a month or more before going at 100% 

Means threw 20 fastballs at 50% intensity off a half mound Monday, his latest step as he recovers from the Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery he underwent in April. Baltimore’s opening day starter the past two seasons, Means isn’t expected to return to the majors until July at the earliest, but this week — he’ll throw off the half mound again Wednesday before getting on a full mound Friday — represents a significant step toward his comeback.

They should have a variety of mounds just like a socket set.  1/2, 5/8, 3/4, etc.  I could hear Chris Holt saying, "Guys, we need the trusty 9/16 mound for this job today"

Everyone would always misplace the 10mm mound so they would try and use the 3/8ths mound instead.

In my world, 10mm round doesn't mean what you think it means.  Wait, you said "mound."  Nevermind.

I thought the same thing lol, so I bought a .40 cal, screw the Metric system.

I would have been worried if he wasn't doing something in view by Memorial Day.    I'm thinking a couple turns at all four affiliates.     Maybe he can catch Jackson Holliday!

Just a reliever, but Garrett Crochet, whose procedure preceded his by only a few weeks, is already back with the White Sox.

Of course Elias will choreograph appearances for any shred of trade leverage he can.    C'mon Cubs...your Stroman is barely better than my Means, etc.

Please someone update the title of this thread.  It makes me cringe every time I see a new post.

Great news. So does he only get a 30 day rehab period?  How does this work with guys on the 60 day IL.

I think its 30 days from when he starts to play for an O's affiliate.   Games in extended spring training don't count.

Thanks @wildcard

This is great news overall, and especially on an off day.

If he's actually pitching in games now, then 6-8 weeks seems like a somewhat reasonable timeframe.  Which would put him back right around mid-July, where we've been speculating all along.
