Yesterday was a fun day on the internet and it was all thanks to Trevor Bauer.
These two interacting on social media is a real treat.
Anyways, Bauer called himself the second most popular pitcher in the world today.
Why am I naming people trying to figure this out?!?
This isn’t even the good part, but we gotta get there first.
Bauer then responded to this fella named Joe who asked a very fair question.
Can he still get MLB hitters out?
I mean this guy hasn’t pitched in the big leagues since 2021.
All we’ve seen are highlights from his games in Mexico and Japan.
Bauer’s response to this fair question was well thought out and reasonable.
He said there are only 20 hitters on the planet who are a true competition for him.
Chipper Jones caught this one and couldn’t resist.
What followed was an avalanche on Twitter of highlights of some obscure names hitting bombs off Bauer.
Now big name pitchers get beat by inferior hitters all the time in baseball.
If you make a bad enough mistake, any hitter can make you pay.
Just key in Trevor Bauer into Twitter and all you get is no names hitting nukes off of him.
Let’s remind ourselves that MARTY MUSH was seen roping balls off of him not too long ago.
Bauer low key became furious when Marty beat him here.
Bauer later said MLB has robbed him of 400 MILLION DOLLARS.
So he would have made more money than Gerrit Cole?
He would have nearly doubled what Max Fried or Corbin Burnes got this offseason?
Not entirely sure GMs would agree.
Listen, has Bauer gotten the short end of the stick with his career and how it played out?
I strive to become this delusional one day.
