Felix is starting to throw. This is a good sign that maybe he can be close to full strength to start 2025.

Amazing how effortless that velocity was, looked like he was just tossing it.

So we're going to have fewer relievers available to us during a stretch with no off days? Cool.

There are like 15 posts of people discussing that in the Orioles going to 6-man rotation thread. Might get more traction there.

I still predict he is back pitching by September this season not sure if he will be back enough to pitch in majors though if we make a playoff run who knows.  Smoltz was back in 13 months.  Strausburg in 12 months.  Weighnwright was 13 months but that was more start of the season as he was pitching in spring training 12 months after his surgery on Feb 28.  Rich Hill was back in 11 months.  All those were 10+ years ago so have we improved the technology and understanding to make the return even shorter?  I would think 10 months and he is pitching in live action if he has no set backs is possible.

I would agree.  Not sure if he can pitch this season or not (probably not), but the way they do that surgery now along with the healing powers of platelet injections? 

 

A pitcher can be back throwing and almost 100% within 8 months.  I have the exact same injury as Felix along with a bone chip in my right elbow and I was told if I have the surgery I will feel basically brand new after 6-8 months.

 

Granted I am not trying to throw 95 MPH 8 months later.

“Felix Bautista’s follow up surgery not Routine “

Not a subscriber so can’t read it, but this is a copy/paste from the MLB app Orioles “Injuries and Moves” section where they recently provided an update on Felix:

The secondary procedures (both common after Tommy John surgery) cleaned up scar tissue in Bautista’s right elbow and moved the nerve to free it up from compression. His reconstructed right UCL continues to heal well, and his recovery timeline won’t be affected.

      What does the Bradish injury really mean?

      By jabba72 · Posted

      This clip shows Bradish shaking his elbow a few times. Also throwing 99 which might have had something to do with it. I hope he learned his limitations.  Kyle Bradish's strong start against Phillies | 06/14/2024 | MLB.com

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Just Regular · Posted

      I'm kind of heading towards rooting for Kjerstad or Beavers to be trade centerpiece of whatever comes. EBJ's 2024 has been pretty tepid so he is not at a good sell point.     Norby seems to fit well as a backup to future outfields mostly made up of Cowser-Mullins-Kjerstad-Beavers-EBJ. The other 29 clubs, including whatever dozen odd end up selling next month - there are probably enough variances in their takes on Kjerstad and Beavers there is something Elias can arbitrage. I take it as a given someone like Seth Johnson or Trace Bright at least will be a secondary piece, guessing Povich-McDermott-De Leon-Forret maybe represent a tier Elias prefers to keep.

      Its always easier in hindsight, but letting Kyle Gibson go, could end up being a glaring error.

      Gibson has a career 5.09 ERA in the 2nd half. And he turns 37 in October. He's due for some regression.

      Yeah I am kind of torn on that.   Obviously you don't something actually on the ball so that the ball may go through the air differently, but if pitchers are having to over compensate to try and get the grip and therefore the spin that they want.....then is it worth it to allow a substance so you can avoid all of these injuries?   Let a pitcher keep something sticky on his glove or hat and allow him to be able to touch that area if he wants.  I really don't see a problem with it. For example, as much as some of you hate my bowling references, in bowling we do the same exact thing that a pitcher does, try to get as good a grip as possible so that we can create as many rpm revs, spin and hook as possible.  All the best bowlers have rev rates in the 500s and we are all allowed to put whatever we want on our hands to create that.  Rosin.  Stickem.   Tape on the fingers.  Tape inside of the bowling ball fingers.....whatever.  And I have never in my life heard anyone say that doing that should be illegal.  It is legal, everyone does it, and no one has a problem with it.  We are also allowed to surface our balls with a sand paper like pad that can give it a surface that hooks more, or a surface that hooks less. Again, all perfectly legal.  I think baseball may have to adjust their thinking on this if pitchers keep falling like flies.

      That probably happens but its not a big deal. Smartphones probably do tons of data tracking on what you search online. And they know exactly where you are at all times.

      I thought trying to resign Flaherty would have been a better choice, assuming he wanted to stay of course.  He had a better track record of being very very good compared to Gibson Again though, I have no idea if he even would have resigned.
