I really dislike having a mid season exhibition game when players are at risk of injury. I did not watch the game but I agree 28 pitches is a lot. Still, he pitched for another full month and a half after that, so I think it is pretty hard to infer direct causation. If you want to say it contributed to the stress on his arm, sure, but so did the frequent back-to-backs and multi-inning appearances. 

Remember Bradish pitched for 3 months with a torn UCL.  And pitched well.  Until he couldn't.  Just because a tear happens doesn't mean it will curtail you right away.   I saw FB's face and body language during that game.  Something was off. 

 

I can speak of this from personal experience.  I have a torn UCL and a bone chip the size of a quarter in my right elbow, and have had it for years.  Back from when I first got it looked at 20 years ago.   I just lived with the pain.  Sometimes up to 8 tylenol a day.   It always hurts and it wasn't until I was bowling one specific shot a few years ago and it completely blew out that I had to go to a orthopedist for it.   I just rested it for 3 months and have done nothing overhand as far as sports and working out since.  Anytime I throw overhand?  It kills.

No way I could throw a baseball 80 times a game.  My arm would probably fall off.    The elbow really controls your overhand throws.  Underhand and side arm is not nearly as bad.

I wish MLB didn't make you declare your roster. I mean how awesome would it be in the playoffs.  The lights go out.  The whistle plays. Jim Ross as a guest announcer.  "BY GOD!  THAT FELIX B

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

Bradish was shut down and then did a full rehab before he started pitching again. Anyway go ahead and believe what you are going to believe, I'm not going to try and convince you, but there are some facts you are leaving out.

This is a message board amirite?  We offer opinions? 

What facts do we all really have? 

None.  I can offer life experience. 

All I can offer is what I saw and what I personally have been through.  I have a torn UCL.  Do you?  Including a bone chip the size of a quarter in your elbow???  I do.   I know the pain.   I have talked to 3 doctors about it.  And they all said the same.   If you don't want surgery....which I do not....then rehab the best that you can and avoid any type of over hand throwing.  

Until you have been through this you really have no 'facts'.

Did you just take that photo today?

The masked guy in the background suggests it was during the pandemic. Seems like bowling might be a bad idea with a torn UCL though. Regardless I'm not sure how that proves anything about Bautista. Then again, I am not a master horse trainer.

Bradish had a UCL “sprain” which was treated with a PRP injection, just to be clear.

Yeah, I didn't understand the connection.  And I saw the mask, too.

Something tells me he wouldn’t be hurling a 16 LB bowling ball with a hook if he had a UCL tear. But, what do I know … I wouldn’t bother to argue my athletic credentials with him.

Watching today's game reminds me of last year.  I said it last year in real time to my wife while watching it, and mentioned it on here shortly thereafter.....but when Felix was pitching in last years All Star game and was huffing and puffing and struggling so much? And the AL manager at the time kept leaving him in?   I said that he is over throwing and this scenario is a prime example of how you get a TJ injury.

Sure enough it came on soon after. 

 

Nothing that can be said can change my mind.   That game was the catalyst  of his injury.

How about MRI images two weeks after the game showing no tear?

A sprain is a tear, though usually a smaller one.  

True, although I was under the impression that the PRP injection was to heal the tear before he resumed pitching again. If it did, clearly the ligament was still weak.

      There were men on 1st and 3rd with one out  O’Neil hits a homer 12% of the time vs lefties which is what they would have been needed to win the game.  A single just puts the winning run on 2nd maybe third most likely in Fenway a double won’t score him with the wall unless he hits it the other way which he doesn’t do.  As good as he is he still just gets a hit 33% of the time Yoshida  even though he doesn’t hit well vs them doesn’t strike out and he has 5 GIDP in 385 plate which ranks him 155th out of 178 qualified hitters with 400 at bats.  So the chances of getting a double play are very slim.   In order to win the game you have these scenarios and percentage based on splits.   1 O’Neil to hit a homer 12%  2. O’neil to get a hit 32% and Yoshida get a hit 20%(30% if Refsynder pinch hits) or Jansen to get a hit 25% 3. Walk O’Neil  20% Yoshida gets a hit or 25% Jansen gets a hit  So statistically it shows these percentages for Boston to win Pitch to O’Neil and he homers 12%  Pitch to O’Neil and they get two hits to win 14%  Walk him and face Yoshida and Jansen and one of them get a hit 22%  That is without factoring in wild pitch walk or an error which makes walking him a worse decision.

      That's how everyone should be looking at it. Yet, inexplicably, there are people here who think we should have more wins because...Hyde.

      That loss eliminated them from playoff contention. He also keeps his signing bonus. Maybe pro ball wasn't his dream? Still a crap thing to do to his teammates.

      I think the other thing is that you have to know a little bit about Dean’s personality in these press scrums.  I think he’s a very bright guy. And I think he has a tendency to come off like…someone who knows he’s a very bright guy. He can get a little dismissive and sarcastic if they ask questions he thinks are dumb. A little bit of the hipster style “well, ACTUALLY…” He does it to some degree earlier in this same interview, when they asked if he was frustrated about the two out walks and his response was basically “I actually don’t like any walks in general.” I think that’s what happened here. I think he perceived it as a dumb question, and I think his response is mostly just him politely explaining why it was a dumb question to ask him.

      I'm not a fan of the way Hyde handles the bullpen and his (or are they the FO's) lineups often drive me nuts. Having said that, he's done a really good job overall as the O's skipper. If somebody told you at the beginning of the year we'd lose half of our top pitchers to injury and our hitters would be one of the worst teams with RISP would you think we'd only be two games out of 1st place in mid-September?
