Big fan of Means.  Good to see him back on the mound.

 

His perfect game no-hitter was 3 years ago, tomorrow.  BOX SCORE

John Means Day might be short-lived due to the approaching Cincinnati storm. Significant rain is expected. With a 6:40 PM first pitch, it's a tough call. If the game starts on time, I'd go with an opener instead of Means. A lengthy delay seems likely, making it unlikely the starting pitchers would come back out upon resuming.

I just checked the Cincinnati radar and it looks like most of the energy is east of them.  Nothing much to the west so unless coverage of storms/rain suddenly develops, they look like they're good to go.  At least right now.

Twitter weatherman said they’ll play

There is baseball, and occasionally there are other things of note

"Now OPS sucks.  Got it."

"Making his own olive brine is peak Mackus."

"I'm too hungover to watch a loss." - McNulty

Looks like the timing has shifted and I expect a delayed start now. Probably a 7:15-7:30 start time depending on is lightning remains in the area.

And of course they’ll play, that was never in question.

So far, so good with Means. Looks sharp with his usual outstanding change up.

What a performance from Means so far.

 

Works fast, throws strikes, and moves the ball around the strike zone

 

If he stays healthy all year, wow

Wow!

 

Baseball fundamentals.

 

That's an out because Mateo was moving over to back up the throw

This rotation has a chance to be mostly okay.
