Hello, friends.
Abandon all hope, ye who enter here. John Means is injured. If you didn’t already hear it, the Orioles top starter exited yesterday’s game after recording just two outs, which was still long enough for him to give up two runs. The explanation given during the game was left shoulder fatigue. Means spent time on the injured list in both 2019 and 2020 due to the shoulder.
The shoulder area is one of those things you just don’t want to hear about a pitcher having problems. This mess of a season is going to get even worse if the one good O’s starting pitcher is wiped out for a while.
