Ummm…is this gonna happen?

Looks to me like he's throwing 1/2 speed off of a 1/2 mound. Not sure how quickly a reliever can go from that to game-ready playing shape and velo. Anyone with any guesses how many weeks he is from a rehab assignment? Still feels doubtful to me.

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.

If he can go on a rehab assigning in 4ish weeks, that gives him enough time to get some Ml time in at the end of the season and see if he can be on a playoff roster.

Getting Bautista back for the playoffs would be awesome.  That said, I'm not sure we've learned our lesson from getting guys back quickly from TJ surgery and treatments, it seems.  

Who did they get back early?  What lesson should have been learned?

I don't discount what you're saying, but these guys are pitchers and throw off of mounds all the time.  Is it crazy to think that maybe we keep it under wraps with a simulated game at most, if the minor league season has ended?  

My thinking is, what does it matter if he tries to ramp it up a bit in early October, versus what he would already be doing anyway?

An indoor mound versus a MLB pitching mound?

I'd say there's like a 10% chance he's pitching this year.

The problem right now is he's not on a mound and he's only throwing at partial speed. Let's say if he throws every couple days, he's probably weeks away from throwing at full speed. And even throwing at full speed he needs to work up his pitch count. And throw all of his pitches. My guess is anything rehab related isn't until mid September.

I'd say there's little to no chance he throws during the regular season (in MLB). Maybe there's a chance in the playoffs if the O's somehow make them.

The other night they showed Otahni doing the same that's being described and said maybe he'd be in the bullpen for the playoffs.  99% sure he's months behind Felix, right?   Assume they weren't just trying to be funny when they said it so it makes you wonder if this might actually be viable.

Shohei Otahni is not human. We should not compare humans to aliens.

How would being in the bullpen work for Ohtani if he's in the dugout waiting for his turn to hit? Don't mean to derail, but curious...

You'd have to ask the people who played baseball for a living and/or are experts on it "how", not me.  I didn't say it.  But I'm sure it could be figured out with a sundial and abacus.  Oh......and a desire and drive to do it.   That is what winners do.

If this were the first day of Spring Training would you think that he would be ready for Opening Day?  Not just you, to anyone.  Two months is a long time if he's already doing this much.  

The team answer is always going to be that he's out, until he's not.

      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.

      Twins cut minor league catcher after he tips pitches

      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?
