The ALCS is scheduled for 10/14.  Could Bautista be on that roster if we make it?  

I guess anything is possible but bringing back a high leverage RP in the ALCS after not pitching in over a year seems a little dicey.

How does it work with him being on IL, as far as being on roster before the Sept 01 cutoff? Like say they did think he could be back, is he safe on the IL until he is taken off even in September?

I believe the rules are pretty lax on adding people. Existing IL stints are one exception to being on the roster by 9/1. Also injuries to your current roster are another exception I think.

Either way, I find it hard to believe Bautista will be available for the playoffs, but crazier things have happened I guess.

You just have to be on 40 man or the 60 day il.

How many rehab game appearances does a reliever really need?  5?  If he's already going to be throwing off of a mound for his typical rehab, then maybe they let that happen and see what happens.  Keep in mind, they're going to say he's officially out until he's not.  Why start the expectations?  

The biggest thing will be when does he start throwing off of the mound?

People need to give up this dream. It’s been very clearly stated, if I recall, that Felix is not coming back this year. They are not going to risk this dude by pitching him in the playoffs after he hasn’t pitched all year.

Especially in Felix’s case. I don’t think his injury was an accident per say.

when you go back and watch the outing where he injured it you can see he’s trying to throw 120mph. He’s and easy 100MPH guy when he’s not overthrowing. 
 

id bring him back next spring.

Yeah, Mike Elias himself has already said Felix is not pitching this year.

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.

How much non-throwing training is he able to do?  I'm assuming he can do full cardio work.  Can he lift weights?  I'm not sure what restrictions and the timeline these guys have during recovery?

He’s on a throwing program…we see YouTube clips of him.

    • One of the unique and weird things about Clutch Cargo was it entirely animated except that the mouths were video of actual moving human mouths.   It made for a very strange look.   
    • Jamie Moyer 2.0 - Book It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😀 
    • 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?
