Saturday, May 11: John Means takes on the Diamondbacks

[Roy Firestone]

Means is definitely getting hit, and hit hard...

[Bemorewins]

Means is getting hit much harder today.

lol looked like Kjerstad let out a little yell as he unleashed that throw

[justD]

Jeez, Kjerstad, do ya not know how to pick a ball up off the ground? That's twice in a row it ends up wobbling around before you can grab it!

[allquixotic]

A little worried about Means today, but hopefully he bounces back. Good game overall so far.

I think he bobbled it. Nevermind, right on cue the show him almost falling down instead.

Ninth out of 30.

Twelfth out of 30 for RBI with RISP.

 

No team is going to cash in all of them.

I just want them to learn to move runners...

Santander simply isn't the dangerous hitter he was last year..he just isn't...its more than just a slump..he isn't on those pitches...

Well if he cant pick it up some he will be very disappointed this off-season with his contract offers.  I think he only gets a two year deal at a team friendly rate......for a different team than the Orioles anyway.  He needs to pick it up and blow this season out if he wants any of that generational money.  

[Roy Firestone]

needed that K...lets get another...

Savant shows Means' best fastball velo of the day was 92.9 to Walker in their first confrontation.

50-ish pitches along today, at least one 4-seam has registered <90.0.

Paul Skenes has an ERA.
