Trevor Bauer is a human being who has values in the wrong place. His behavior with women also drove him out of MLB.
So here he is, this year, in Japan. The pitcher was forced into exile after a year and a half without pitching in major league baseball.
Recall that the Dodgers cut ties with him, which was absolutely the thing to do for LA
All that to say that right now, the launcher is in Japan. After a more difficult start to the season, he has recovered.
In his last 12 outings, the former Cy Young winner is averaging 1.82 in 89.2 innings of work. He also has 92 strikeouts.
His agent rightly pointed that out.
And the pitcher wants attention.
A man who follows baseball in California spoke about his streak and like every positive tweet about him, he retweeted it.
In other words, he endorsed it.
And what we can read there is that the pitcher finds it a shame that his “historic” work in Japan is not covered more than that.
Trevor, Trevor, Trevor…
What you need to know is that even though people in North America have enormous respect for the Japanese league, covering MLB is a full-time job.
To get away from it, it has to be worth it.
In my eyes, putting Trevor Bauer in his place is worthwhile. The guy is downright undesirable in North America and if a club tried to sign him, it would not pass.
There would undoubtedly be a popular uprising to prevent him from regaining his place in the sun, thus forcing his release.
Note also that it is normal for a guy who won the Cy Young in the Nationals the last time he pitched in baseball full time to dominate in Japan.
That doesn’t make him any more attractive than that at the MLB level since his problem was never on the mound. We know he is an excellent pitcher.
Ah, last thing: contrary to the tweet in question, Bauer’s performances in Japan are not historical. 12 good games don’t make history.
