It has been over 50 years since an Oriole pitched a complete game No Hitter. I feel that I should know more about John Means but I don't.Someone please enlighten me.


Lefty was 11th rd draft pick from West Virginia U in 2014. Was a fringe prospect in the minors but was a pleasant surprise as rookie in 2019 (12-11, 3.60 ERA). Didn't look good in short 2020 but has improved velocity to mid 90s and added a good changeup. Excellent control.
Thank you Bobster for your in depth analysis

The Orioles are my 2nd team. But I don't follow them as closely as my Bucs. :)

Very, very happy. My first wish everyday is that the Pirates win. My second wish is that the Brewers lose.

I won't need to waste time caring what any other team does.
If you read the name of the thread you might understand the purpose of it. Maybe it's time to take another sabatical :D

With the Bucs idle, it's a good day, Possum.



One of the neat things about sports for us fans is that villains are created, whether they're individual players or teams. They serve to rally the masses and, when things aren't going well for the home team, it gives us something else to root for, the demise of the villains.
