Trevor Bauer on MLB Network’s Intentional Talk

Some highlights:

• The ball from his first major league hit in Chicago is being held ransom. Weird.
• “I hate it. I’ve always hated it. I want nothing to do with it.”
• The drone he built, which includes:
  • Dihedron arms
  • Vibration isolation
  • Damping
• His childhood obsession with the show BattleBots. Also weird.
• 
• And, of course, if he would rather live with Nick Swisher for a week or shave Tito’s back.

Been a fun week for Bauer. 7 shutout innings in Wrigley, his first MLB hit and an appearance on MLB Network. I guess that’s what happens when you’re tied for 4th in the league in wins, 7th in strikeouts and 10th in WAR.

KEEP THE CHIEF

Only in Cleveland can an opposing pitcher fail to get past the 4th inning in his previous two starts, then go back to the hotel after his start at the Prog a badass. His last two games:

Last night:

That damn Joe Maddon, always something up his sleeve.

I’ve had better 48 hours.

Here’s the link to the video of Bourn getting the old heave-ho.

God I love this man. Can’t you just picture him in the pisser after the inning, hearing the commotion mid-stream, stumbling over himself to zip up and get out there? “Ahhhh….gotta swing the bat………..what…what’s that……….ah sh…..fuck….what the fuck Bournie!”

This only a couple days after letting our top prospect know he’s been called up to the big squad with an adorable text:

If you’ve called for his firing at any point since he started here, you are absolutely 100% clinically insane.
