Re: OT: O’s Pitcher Means throws No-Hitter
I loved that guy. Such an offbeat character (he was from Tacoma Park. Nuff said).
He also had a weird career with brief managerial opportunities in Minn, and Baltimore after Davey Johnson ran afoul of Angelos.
And then had to quit in '05 after the aneurysm. Made it fifteen more years but 76 is so young these days. RIP Rabbit."That's what."

By the way, another feel good: Yesterday Grayson Rodriguez destroyed the Nat's high-A lineup in Aberdeen to start the minor league season

Re: OT: O’s Pitcher Means throws No-Hitter
I listened to the Wilhelm game on radio, and was at the Palmer game. Back then it was not unusual for O's to create memorable games for one reason or another. When I checked game status early this evening on espn and saw the No-no about to happen, turned on the TV to see the top of the 9th. I had forgotten how exciting such baseball moments can be.
IMO Means is a leading part of the group of players you have been trying to develop. Cannot trade him.

Re: OT: O’s Pitcher Means throws No-Hitter
Up until today I was definitely on the trade him bus. Mainly being because he didn't/doesn't really have a track record where you could point to future sustainability and he mostly survives on FB/CH. The third pitch isn't quite there reliably, but it still may come along soon. Add to that he's almost 30 and we're still looking at a couple years before really contending... I'd say trade him while the value is there.
Now, I don't know. His FB/CH combo is pretty masterful. If he develops a third pitch with consistency... and maybe a fourth... you could have traded away a Maddux.
But maybe that's a little recency bias kicking in.

Loved that moment. Loudest OPACY has ever been. Loudest I've ever been, at least for an O's game. Family isn't used to me celebrating O's plays, just Ravens.
I can't believe the 3rd base coach waved JJ Hardy home. That slide with the finger touch is a thing of beauty.
