What’s your over/under on innings from Bradish and Means this year?

[Frobby]

Just curious how many combined innings folks think we’ll get from Bradish and Means combined this year.  Looks like Means could be back in late April.  I’m guessing Bradish is late May at the soonest, if all all.  

[Roy Firestone]

I predict NO Bradish at all. Means returns in early June.

My crystal ball says Means comes back, puts in 15-20 starts then gets hurt again.

Bradish ends up getting TJ surgery because when he starts throwing breaking balls his elbow doesn't like it.

Do you have inside info on this?

I predict about 130 innings for Means and a handful of starts for Bradish before he’s shut down for the year.

My answer is less than 50.  I think the result could certainly be more than that, but I think until it looks like that is probable, it would simply be a mistake to think you have that.  This is certainly a vote where I hope to be wrong.

Less than 50 for the two of them combined? 

[Ohfan67]

Combined I think 150+. I think Means is fine and they are slow rolling Means to control his innings. I think the orioles will get some starts from Bradish. 

[maybenxtyr]

 I wanted to make a poll similar to this but asking about combined starts. I think the number there would be 25... that's with Means getting the bulk of the 25. 

[theobird]

yeah, I think Means will be fine and get 125 plus innings. Can’t say I am very optimistic about Bradish.

[Earl Buck]

I’m joining the group that is a lot more optimistic about Means innings than Bradish innings this year.

I hope you are correct. But yeah. I am not counting on more than 50 from them combined. And I hope I’m off by a couple hundred innings.

I more optimistic Means will pitch most of the season just not sure we're seeing 2021 John Means again.

[Aristotelian]

I think Means will ramp up slowly and pitch 100 innings. If all goes well, Bradish is used as an opener for the first half, then slowly ramps up if he's healthy for the playoffs. Or he feels a pop and doesn't pitch at all! 

[Moose Milligan]

I said 100-149.  Most of that is coming from Means.

The real question is how many starts will Bradish make?  I think less than 5 before the forearm tightness happens and he's gotta get the TJ.
