I don't expect much from John Means tonight.

Don’t just give Roy a hard time for this thread. There are plenty of naysayers with egg on their face if you go back and look at some of the comments that were made about Means during his rehab starts.

This is wildly beyond what I expected from Means.

That was excellent. Typical John Means in keeping hitters guessing between the change and fastball. Mixed in enough curves to give hitters a third look. Threw a beauty of a cutter to Elly.

Is 6 shootout innings good enough?

Why settle for 6 when you can have 7?

[ChuckS]

Burns, Bradish, Means, Kremer, Irvin.

I’m not sure how you pull any of these guys if Grayson is able to come back in a week or two.

You would think these things end up working themselves out with injuries and whatnot, but it will be interesting to see how they handle the rotation with everyone dealing.

The Roy reverse jinx never fails.

Best rotation in baseball!!!

[Hank Scorpio]

What a terrible move to take him out 

[SilverRocket]

19 whiffs in 44 swings. Maybe his best game besides his no-hitter.

In fairness, I doubt many had 7 innings of shutout baseball.

[Sports Guy]

2019/2021 Means there.

Great to see. Lots of strikes, tons of missed bats.

Found something in that last start in AAA.

[Too Tall]

Vintage Means. Work fast - throw strikes - change speeds - move it around. Soooo glad we didn't blow it in the ninth. A pitcher's pitcher.
