Bradke threw another session yesterday and on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being unbearable pain, he tells Rick Anderson he's a 1 or 2.
If Radke feels fine today, the next step would be to play catch this weekend and then throw another bullpen session Monday. If the Twins have clinched a playoff berth and the Central Division champion has been determined, Radke could make a start next weekend. It could be a swan-song outing, one last chance for fans to see the 12-year Twin pitch.
But Radke said he'll pitch only if he can give the Twins an honest effort.
"I'm either going to be in or out," he said. "I'm not going to go out there and throw an inning or two and say, 'Hey, that's it.' I'm either going to pitch and I'm going to feel good and hopefully help in the postseason, or it's going to be nothing."
