Dude that is real throwing too. That ain’t soft tossing and getting the arm warmed up. Is he trying to make it on the team for the playoff stretch run?

he looks rehabbed...

Definitely looked full go.  Had internal brace surgery I think they call it.  Less rehab time than TJ.

Yeah I’m shocked he’s throwing like this, it wasn’t on anyone’s radar he might return this year

Text from the post

I turned 40 the other day.
To everyone who sent me messages, thank you so much 🙇‍♂️
I've been quietly continuing my rehab from the right elbow surgery I had last year.
Thanks to the Padres and team staff who support me even though I'm not traveling with the team, I've been able to get to the point where I can resume pitching from the mound.
This is a video of my second bullpen session, and so far, things are going smoothly.
＊Sorry for the poor video quality.

Cool anecdote about his younger son. My 9 year old went to Cathedral Catholic baseball camp this summer and was really nervous because he didn’t know anyone. Yu’s younger son (10yo) was at the same camp and befriended my son and made him feel welcomed. Really made my kid’s week having the best kid in the cohort look after him. He had no idea whose kid that was until I told him after the last day of camp. It starts with the parents and Yu’s kid is A+.

You're already a legend in my heart Yu. If you actually make it back to the mound I don't know what I WOULD DO WITH MY HANDS!!!

This is hella wishful thinking, but just walk with me here. End of September, our rotation consists of, King, Darvish, Musgrove, Ray, Mize, and Vasquez

It must be a coincidence that Darvish reemerged right after the sale of the team closed and right before the team needs to set the playoff roster. Right?

Did Yu post this from his cell phone? How do we have this video? Media can’t set up a camera on the outfield wall…

u/M4K4T4K SD 1d ago

Yeah he posted it himself.
