Trevor Bauer: A Misunderstood Superstar 

Hope some team just says "fuck Manfred" and signs him. Dude is dealing in Mexico rn and there are so many teams that could use him.

Yall should really go watch Trevor’s breakdowns of his starts in the LMB he’s been doing recently. Dude is dealing and living his best life. MLB should publicly apologize to him for how dirty they’ve done him🙄

I love the stuff Trevor is posting now. Showing his game day prep, behind the scenes and in the dug out stuff that we don’t get to see. Regardless of how you feel about him, the MLB is stuck in the past and can’t figure out why they can’t draw in fans. Manfred is killing baseball and definitely took Trevor personally.

It seems pretty clear Rob Manfred and MLB have blackballed him for calling out their mishandling of multiple scandals. He has now been proven innocent for the criminal charges, but no teams even want him, a Cy Young winner, for league minimum

Trevor Rocks! So many teams could use the dudes arm!!!!! Cheers

So happy to learn that Bottom of the Innings supports Bauer

Something to note, Ramirez and Bauer were friends when that spring training game took place, being former teammate Ramirez laughed too

He wasn't laughing in jose face. They've been friends along time

Fantastic video. Watching Trevor on Momentum and on his own RU-vid channel, I cannot see how anyone can question his love and dedication to baseball. He has said he made mistakes, he also admitted he is socially awkward and that meeting and talking to people isn't easy for him. Watching his videos you see his thought process about working out and how he goes into preparing for a start. Bauer's biggest issue is he made light of an issue baseball wanted hidden and for the audacity of showing emotion and being a character on the mound. In a world where in the NFL after scoring a TD we have whole team choreographed celebrations, pumping your chest, or having a celebration after a big strikeout is just too much.

Cole saying Trevor isn’t dedicated to the game of baseball has to be the most projected insecurity I’ve ever heard of 😂

Finally- a fair assessment of his approach, without the infusion of the narrative from media (and the MLB Commissioner) who apparently hate him. Quality report; good for you and thanks.

Great video. You do well with story telling. #LiftSmallBuntTheBall

wouldnt surprise me if you they followed the money the women that put allegations against him were hired by the mlb

It was clear that manfred wanted Bauer out of the league, and we probably will never see him in an mlb team again but damn we miss this kind of player, very vocal and he has the talent to back it up. It’s always the people who doesn’t even play the sport the ones who ruin it.

I can't get over how much his hand was leaking when he got cut

I wish the Padres would sign him. Their rotation isn't deep enough as it is now.

So many teams could use him, especially now that his public accusers are both proven to be extorting Bauer. The recent one even got arrested and charged. Baseball didn’t like him exposing the sticky stuff that pitchers use. The BS assault charges are a smoke screen.

I don't follow baseball, I rarely watch baseball. My last two games I watched were both at Wrigley, and I only went there to be with family (my brother both times and my dad one of them). I started following CloseCallSports, a RU-vid channel that breaks down ejections, a couple years ago, and love watching Jomboy breakdowns as well. Trevor became the only baseball player I follow last year. The videos from his year in Japan were incredible. He not only showed his training, and broke down games he was in, but also showed how he was a fish out of water learning a new culture in Japan. He's pretty entertaining. You have to have something wrong with you if you don't like him. #freetrevorbauer

"The league just hadn't caught up yet" is the essentially truest part of the video.

These videos are amazing! I don’t rlly understand how you don’t have more subs and views but if u keep posting I think you can get to 100k soon

Imagine how common arrogant coaches are, they should be studying how bauer does his routine and possibly apply it in their own training regimen for pitchers. Since it obviously works, trevor bauer is a cy young award winner, that is a result of his unique training regimen specifically for him and his body.

Yes, MLB will regret in the future what they did to Baur. LMB is honored to have Bauer. Justice for Trevor. he will be a great coach in the future.

I think he might have a role as a pitching coach when he’s done. Have we really seen any major injuries with him? They used the false accusations from that bat shit crazy woman to use as an excuse to get rid of him, because he called out the cheating. I loved the banter back and forth with Trevor and Tatis. Mad respect for both. And I’m a Padres fan. Come to SD Trevor. Lord knows we could use him as our rotation is struggling with the starters. #ForTheFaithful #FreeTrevorBauer

I've always been a Bauer fan since he was in Cleveland. Only individual player outside of the team I pay attention to

I don't understand why the Angels won't sign Bauer. Several teams can use him.

Trevor is an amazing pitcher! He deserves to get back to MLB! We love him in Mexico but we know he is too good to play here.

He gets so much hate from baseball “fans” man and so much of it is based on incomplete information. He’s far from the perfect person. But he’s not evil, he’s not bad for the game, and he’s very ENTERTAINING

Bauer and J Ram are great friends. That ab was all fun in games.

I think we need to do something like the people of Oakland did with the anti-boycott. We should make it a big and known thing to chant Trevor Bauer at mlb games so teams and the mlb as a whole can’t just ignore him

Hope he owns the Dodgers by the time he's done suing them and the MLB. If not the Dodgers, at least the Diamondbacks.

I’ve met Trevor Bauer, he’s one of the most genuine guys on the planet!! He’s madly in love with baseball and inspires millions. He’s an absolute legend. A much needed force in a once dying sport.

I love watching Trevor on momentum. Him shooting shit with Eric Sim and doing challenges is always super entertaining

Bauer will never pitch in the mlb again, but he will coach…

Very well put together video. There needs to be some rule or limitations in regards to suspensions like that. No one person should have career defining power. Particularly, suspensions over say half a seasons worth of games or suspensions related to false accusations or investigations resulting in no guilt. Those suspensions should be lifted or granted a review/appeal.

The literal only way to explain why he's not in MLB right now is collusion, which should be HIGHLY illegal in industry's with anti-trust exemptions. Collusion can destroy a player's career and earning potential, and they really how no recourse.

You can listen to the rumors or you can listen to one of the more well respected players currently in the league "“My experience with Bauer is not anything remotely close to what everyone else’s experience is. I love him. I think he’s an awesome guy. The personal things? I have no control. I have no say. Obviously, nothing ever came from it.”" -Mookie Betts. Also how is a guy so hated all of a sudden loved in Japan and Mexico. Same reason why the US media is dead silent when he's winning and cherry picks the moments where he had an off day. I'm going to be the first to say I never liked baseball but loved being the stat nerd and I understand why people don't like Bauer but sometimes you let guys prove to you that they're a failure instead of making them one in your image.

aye man y’all can cry all you want that sword celebration is fireee 🔥😂 don’t like it don’t strike out

This guy got me back into baseball. I love his approach to perfecting his craft.

This is a true example of blacklisting, not Kaepernick

Baseball is all about having fun TREVOR is aware of that he had shown dedication and love for the game, controversial so what, life its not jus playing the f...... game you love, is about doing it and have fun it is nothing wrong about that, and fuc. the none written rules. fans were missing what he brought to the game. he is great and deserve a opportunity baseball need him..

nice video

lets be honest, the only reason he was treated so harshly was because of his big ego and the mlb hated him for it. They wanted a reason to suspend him.

The “media” aspect of all of this creates a certain perception both ways. It is so bad on one end that on the other end, people are retroactively trying to pump up his dominance, when there isn’t much there. Bauer’s cy young was in a shortened season. For a starting pitcher, that no time to prove your dominance, so that isn’t much of an accolade. Only 1 all star appearance that took him 6 years. Bauer was never actually the best pitcher in the league, certainly not for a sustained period of time. The drone thing in the playoffs is a lot worse as a fan than anything. I can’t imagine how disappointing it is expecting an ace to go dominant in the playoffs, only to hurt himself for his media page. It feels this side of the aisle, led by Bauer himself, is trying to get fans to think that sort of thing is cool or normal for pros when it isn’t. Winning is important, that is what fans of franchises want most. Bauer wasn’t exactly winning or pushing the needle for any team. Compare him to his idol Tim Lincecum, who in his first 6 years had 4 AS, 2 legit cy youngs, and 2 WS rings. Fantastic playoff debut as well, leading his team in his first October experience. That is true dominance over at least 5 years, from someone who was also a clear student of pitching mechanics. If Bauer’s career looked more decorated, I would understand the blacklisting argument more. I don’t actually believe there is some collusion of people trying to keep him out at this point. It is far more simple to observe that there are plenty of talented pitchers coming up, so why bother with this situation as a team? It would be a personal crusade. He would be an average pitcher at best if he came to MLB right now.

Just because someone is smarter than you are and does things that you don't understand doesn't mean you criticize them; it means you try to learn from them and their knowledge/perspective.

I hope he wins his courtcase... it's bullshit how someone can just make shit up to ruin your life, he was literally guilty until proven innocent not innocent until proven guilty....

Sign him to the Jays, would love to see him play!!!

The sticky stuff war seems to me to OBVIOUSLY be the reason he's not in the league right now. Trevor Bauer sacrificed his career to save baseball.

Well, he was proven right about: 1. His training methods 2. Widespread use of foreign substances to increase spin rate 3. Sexual assault charges against him were false

And the messed up thing is Trevor was guilty in MLBs eyes no matter the outcome, just cuz he trained differently then they thought was right. And now alot of the stuff he does l, the mlb people are doing to train now. Its a bunch of bullsht

This was awesome!!! Im a huge TB fan.. Baseball is so dumb.. its supposed to be about entertainment so i say let Trevor back so he can Entertain

Trevor is bigger than the MLB.

I refuse to watch MLB until they bring him back

Let's not act like he didn't do this to himself. He blatantly told everyone baseballs unwritten rules and made the league look like a joke

(short pause)

One of the best pitchers in the world right now and Manfred has blacklisted him. Dude has gotten cleared and nothing. Dudes getting better throught the years.

Great work you put in to this, love it!

I'd love to see the O's get him.

Awesome video man! I subbed!!!!

So True, bring him back! This shit has to stop!

Dudes still throwing gas hitting 98 with 20" of vert.. like a GD laser beam that has that spooky "imma get you" rising effect a high spinrate 4 seamer has ... up and in on RHB must be swell

amazing video

I'm so glad this presents Bauer as innocent and the blackballing of him as unfair. You can fairly cover a story without pretending this whols saga isn't insane.

He needs to be signed

Great video on the subject.

Bauer is beloved in Cincinnati

I said it before and ill say it again the league wanted baur gone and when they got their chance even if it was a lie, baur mlb career was sealed. He went against the owners and manfred so he aint gonna be back any time soon

saying it right now, hed be a great coach.. probably better than those who detracted him

The goat is back with another banger

Poor Trevor.

If TB comes back to the MLB hes still a top 5 pitcher

Iv seen so many bad takes on this dude. Good work on this one.

Literally black balled from the league

Another banger

I do wonder, how many more pitchers have to get hurt before one of the 30 teams sign Trevor.

Trevor is a homie 😂 I want SF Giants to sign him so fuckin bad

who else thinks Rob Manfred set him up and sent Lindsay hill to get him?

He should sue the mlb

If Trevor was a left-handed pitcher, he'd still be in the game.

This isn't very different from Baseball Doesn't Exist's material...

How does the media have so much power?

Trevor Bauer to the Red Sox pleaseee!

Manfred and the dodgers cooked up the accusations with that devil woman

any comments from Trevor????

He's not a superstar, he had his best year when suddenly his spin rate skyrocketed while everyone was using sticky substances. He's a cheater, a bully, and a general pos.

sign him Atlanta!

those kids would make fun of him well whose making millions of dollars and whose not

Look you really can't blame teams and coaches who were skeptical on Bauer If you're a coach and you have confidence in what you teach (and you should or else stop coaching), you're not going to trust a "kid" who comes in and straight up ignores your feedback Did Bauer "prove the haters wrong"? 100% But what's interesting about his case is that it's extremely rare for someone to have Bauer's self-assurance and actually *be right* Undoubtedly the single smartest thing Bauer did was to start his RU-vid vlogs. It allows everyone at all levels to separate his eccentricity from his ego If MLB can't handle Bauer being in the game, the MLB isn't good for baseball

Yo Trevor White Sox could use a pitcher 👀

He should sue the league and Dodgers.

Make a video about seven teams that represent the The seven capital virtues

It's BS! MLB needs to end this shit now and let him back in!

Trev is a class act

He’s hated by the mlb not the people.

Bauer’s can’t be coached because he is the coach

“Cheated In the World Series” so we’re still going with this lie? This is getting childish at this point 💀

Dodgers could have used this dude the last few years...

I'd also like to add Mookie Betts himself, arguably a player than everyone likes in this sport, spoke up and wanted to see Bauer coming back to the sport, just knowing how his talent is something good for the game of baseball itself. If you ask me, I don't think Bauer will be able to come back to the MLB. The world doesn't believe in second chances, are reactionary, and are hypocrites. It's unfortunate and we just have to accept that. I mean, every time his name is brought up on social media, it just brings messy commentary. Even with his name cleared, all the commentary around him just isn't worth to sign him due to opposing arguments, people won't shut up about it, even though yes, he deserves to come back to the MLB. I just hope his content on baseball, with his colleagues (who on camera seem genuine nice people, literally, just watch Momentum. Eric Sim while loud, is just a loveable big guy, and the fact that someone like him is really good friends with Bauer, really throws off the, 'unapproachable' narrative, otherwise I wouldn't think Sim would be his friend), will inspire all baseball fans and future talented prospects, moving the game of baseball forward in a positive path.

we love Trevor babyyy

Misunderstood by who?? WE understand him completely. MAGA 🙏🏻
