Ya he basically went to war with the league

He’s got a whole other video about that on this channel

This videos is sponsored by the MLB.

He has talked about it in other videos.

He alr talked about that in a whole different vid

We should make it a sport

@@DougBurgum4VP the voice is AI? Or are you capping lol

It seems like an interesting sport, they should really try making something like this someday.

This is the dumbest shit ive ever read.... are you familiar with the charges against trevor? Or is it like well hes here in japan tryin we better cheer the guy is a terrible person

I'm happy for you guys. Btw as a Mets fan - thanks for Kodai Senga. He's been one of the few bright spots on an otherwise very disappointing team. If he weren't on the Mets he'd be in the running for Rookie of the Year.

@@marcoslaureano5562 Did you know that he went from a developmental player to a major leaguer? In the NPB, a developmental player is a player who is not on the roster of the first team and cannot play in official games. In high school, he never caught the attention of scouts. A sports store owner who knew a lot about baseball contacted a scout he knew at Softbank, saying he had found a gem, and hired Senga as a developmental player without much expectation. If the sports store owner had not noticed his talent, he might have led a completely different life.

​@@nahokolemius6416fascinating. Both comments

This video shows him actin in the exact same manor in america and japan... hes defintl choking some japanese woman against their will right now but luckily for him you guys dont care.

@@femka You guys sure talk a lot of smack against someone who proved his innocence in court, crazy to think you guys just can't accept reality😒

​@@femka Was he ever convicted? No. Do you just support social media justice? Yes, and that is objectively true, you have already made up your mind. If someone tomorrow decided to call you out on twitter for rape that happened 2 years ago and that tweet was reposted by multiple news outlets, whether it's true or not your life would never be the same again if not ruined. There is literally nothing stopping a person from doing that because society values popular opinon over logic. People like you are a drone for the mass media and have 0 analytical thought process.

@@femkaall cases were thrown out in court because he’s innocent so

Well we will wait til his first victim in Japan comes forward i guess

Former Red Sox Koji Uehara also said he really likes Bauer's playing style and personality as an athlete, and his teammate Imanaga, who started the game against US in the WBC and will probably be posted to the MLB for the next season, spoke really highly about Bauer as well. I think Japan fits better for him.

​@@breadandcircuses8127 To fill you in, Yokohama Baystars at that time, was chasing down Hanshin Tigers who were in 1st place with about a game or so ahead. Lots of fans in Japan felt like he knocked some fighting mentality that Yokohama has been missing for a long time when he was yelling his teammates to wake up. Top of the rotation guy from MLB screaming at them shows how he knows that they could do better on the field, and gave some hope to the fans that this year they might finally wake up and go grab that championship..... which hasn't been exactly the case, but yeah a little context for you lol

@@breadandcircuses8127 a footnote, Yokohama BayStars has a female owner.

@@breadandcircuses8127 Having to deal with less haters :D

This video sounds like hate against Bauer.

Goes to show how media is around here. They only care about what would bring in the most views. Not what’s accurate 😢

Yep

Sword celebration is also a non-issue. Stateside media only covers the negative. When there isn’t any negative, they make it up. Most Baystars fans were happy about Bauer being pissed- the fans and Bauer want a championship more than the rest of the team.

I saw that

Ya the "sent down to minors" story was actually just keeping him pitching due to rain outs and weird game days. This is why Its tough to trust media. They never seem to get the athlete's side of the story.

I was at that game in Yokohama. I’ve been a life long fan of the Baystars but that defense has to be the worst play I’ve seen during the past 9 years (there was one even worse in 2014). Personally, I don’t blame his outburst at all, and I believe the majority of Yokohama fans felt the same. These things happen.

It's not about pitcher vs batter, it's about a clueless white man in Japan trying to ape Japanese culture. I don't think it's an enormous deal, but that's not what the controversy is about.

Amen!

Technically its already been approved by a Japanese player years ago. Tsutsugo consulted him on it cause he changed the side he sheaths the sword to be consistent with Japanese practices.

He doesn't get backlash. Not from Japanese players or fans.

that story about a teammate having an issue with his sword celebration was a bunch of bullshit anyways. the player that they reported as calling it "disrespectful" literally gifted a Japanese katana to Trevor after one of his first starts

Bold of you to assume a country called Japan exists. It is a conspiracy theory just like baseball 😂

No team will sign him. They're too worried about the "MeToo" crowd protesting. All the GMs and players are chicken shit scumbags. Because none of them will stand up for Trevor or sign him. He's one of the best pitchers in baseball and can definitely help a team win. But these clowns are too worried about "optics." And that woman should be locked up for 10 yrs. She targeted him, lied about him, dragged his name through the mud, and tried to take his money. No accountability for women like this in society or under the law. It's sickening.

​@@gradyjones7017statistically, he's definitely one of the best current players.

Honestly I'd like to see him keep playing in Japan. People really love him there, and If I was in that situation I would not go back to MLB.

I think his record is 6 wins 3 losses. But since June all his starts have been quality starts.

@@steviejohnson378 i heard the balls are also different in Japan, is that true? im new to baseball.

@@cubic_regent It's true, Bauer had a youtube video explaining the differences which includes the difference in stitching

@@cubic_regentize of the ball stitching and the leather are all diff so for sure was an adjustment going from American balls ALL his life to this. Got used to it and only has had quality starts since his rough outings in the beginning. He just won MVP this month in NPB so he’s still got it.He gets to much hate in America lol

I mean, he had a significant amount of downtime leading up to moving to another country where he doesn't fluently speak the language and is playing in a league that has a number of differences in rules and traditions, let alone the cultural differences with the audience. It take some time to adjust to that sort of thing and he seems to making major progress so far towards being comfortable and effective. Hes not instantly the best pitcher Japan has ever seen, but hes doing fine as far as i can tell.

It's so weird that American media kept on twisting things and re-interpreting stuff. Meanwhile, his teammates are having fun in his vlogs lol, making hilarious poses at the camera during training lol

@@pulsed13 I know. They are more busy bringing up his past when we was in the MLB compared to what he has accomplished in Japan. Just in his first season.

@@pulsed13 The media lied about him being an attacker when he was the victim of sexual assault by women who lied to him to have sex so she could concoct false stories to go after him for money. Bauer actually proved his innocence in court which is unheard of. No one usually gets the chance to prove innocence in cases like this, they usually settle to remove the risk of losing in court because of lying. Bauer's attacker made the mistake of asking for a restraining order, giving bauer the opportunity to prove she is lying. Bauer WON. Fighting a restraining order is extremely hard because judges error on the side of allowing them. Bauer proved his innocence to such a degree, the judge called out his attacker for lying and ruled against the restraining order. The suspension by the MLB was just long enough so the dodgers did not have to pay bauer, proving he was suspended because the team just wanted to weasel out of his contract after the team smeared him by bolstering the lie from bauer's attacker. Players should be extremely pissed about this, bauer's entire contract was essentially canceled by a false accusation bolstered by the team that could benefit by not paying bauer. This is a new way teams can turn guaranteed money to non-guaranteed money. A big ramification is that players must stick to long term contracts that are too long for a suspension to cancel to reduce the incentive for teams to suspend players to avoid paying or rostering them. Bauer was an advocate of short term contracts which benefits the above average players.

I support the sword it’s the same thing as bat flips, bat drops, screaming when striking someone out, getting pumped up when reaching a new fastball velo, and even running onto the field after a walkoff it’s all competitive gestures that should be tolerated by everyone and if not then baseball isn’t for them

Also to be fair with his past, he won the case. So legally he didn’t do anything wrong. It actually came out later through one of the accuser’s friends showing texts between her and the accuser where the accuser was saying she was going to “get him” and things along those lines making their night together seem more sinister from her side. Honestly it’s messed up for both buaer and women. Buaer likely will not pitch in the mlb again and now when women who are actually assaulted speak up it’s going to be taken with a grain of salt. So shame on that girl (who operantly was hooking up with tatis and was a padres fan and cheerleader)

Every time I watch some of his videos fans are coming up asking for pictures and he always seem happy. Then they all bow at him a bunch of times. Baseball is big over there it seems.

​@@ItIsYouAreNotYourbaseball is massive over there beside Soccer and Rugby

@@dcoker9738 I never really thought about it. But I never have heard anything about Soccer and Rugby over there. Bigger than Baseball? Of course, on a global scale.

@@ItIsYouAreNotYour I am an Aussie and have lived in Japan for a long time. Baseball is 100% the most popular sport here but rugby is weirdly big as well. I don't care for Rugby at all but the amount of Japanese who will ask me if i watch the wallabies is astronomical.

@@ContactReal haha, yeah, I mean it shouldn't be, but it feels really random to hear that. Pretty cool though. Thanks for the learning lesson.

I'm a Blue jays fan, and that stat line reminds me of Yusei Kikuchi! This season, Yusei is 7-3 with a 4.13 era but also with the most allowed home runs in the American League. I love both players, and I'm glad that for his first season Bauer has been doing pretty well all things considered

he needs some more games and time to improve his command back to his level. of course he did not pitch for two years and this is understandable.

In America they worry about the bet theyare against their own team.

Duh hes going to lead the league in homers. Hes a fly ball pitcher. He throws alot of off speed pitches.

Most of those home runs came when he was still adjusting to the league. It’s not really relevant as of right now.

It’s almost like Bauer has a blog you can watch to verify these things 🤷🏼‍♂️

What you said was mentioned in the video, maybe watch it fully next time?

@@BroskiBigDuck what you mention happened in the video was only addressed once for the two times he was sent down. Maybe watch the whole video next time

I am happy for Japan and Bauer; please keep him there.

バウアーの件で思った事はアメリカも日本もジャーナリズムはクソだという事です あと、これからも貴方の日本の生活が豊かである事を祈るよ

number 1 rule in the US is to stay on the media's side. just look at bonds. they wrote him off as some drug addict.

I mean you are not wrong here

Dude puts the work in. And explained why he went to the minors

I wake up every Sunday and it’s the first thing I watch, love baseball and Japan so getting to watch both in English is awesone

I honestly kinda miss watching his vlogs. It was great insight into the MLB and the daily life of a starting pitcher. I never really liked the guy, but it was worth watching. But now I can only look back on it as narcissistic vanity. There's a reason why nobody else does stuff like that. You are literally in _the show_ and you have millions of dollars. Why do you feel the need to do this when literally everyone else just wants some alone time in between games? It was never about the insight, it was always about the spotlight. Good riddance I say.

It's enjoyable to watch

I am subbed and like to watch it

I mean, Japan is supporting him because he’s by far the best player to come to Japan from the MLB ever. The team that has signed him and the whole league is making a lot off of him going to Japan and the change in country allows them to leave most of his controversies in the past. The Japanese people have little to no knowledge of his history and his sexual misconduct issues and are quicker to overlook than the US fans. The same would be true of course if the situations were reversed. At the end of the day, it’s all money. Edit: Not sure if there is a language barrier here, but one does not need to be convicted of a crime in criminal court in order for any one individual to dislike or disagree with the actions of another. I do not care if Bauer is brought to criminal court over these specific cases. My coworker never went to court for groping a female worker last year, but he damn sure did it and he was absolutely fired for it. Not facing criminal charges is not a defense to say someone didn’t do something or that we, as people, can’t hold opinions that may even disagree with a verdict (think OJ). Remember, the court lets far more guilty people walk then innocent people jailed (think type 1 vs type 2 error for those who know). Bauer has been problematic for a long time now and this is just one more thing in a long series of him being a total ass. His teammates have always hated him and he’s only brought negative publicity with hime wherever he’s gone. There’s not some big conspiracy, people in the US are simply done with his diva bullshit.

@@TheHeadincharge🤡

@@TheHeadincharge Translation of @user-ig8dp9bs3l's post: Of course the Japanese know about Bauer's past. So, was there even one case in which he was convicted or arrested as a criminal? It's crazy to think that anyone can be convicted by saying, "He did terrible things to me." I think it is really shallow to criticize him or make fun of him when you don't know if it is true or not.

He was the most interesting player in MLB for all he's done to innovate training and in social media, and really the only player with an actual personality to speak of. He is such a wasted asset for the game. The MLB front office is a bunch of cretins, and the average 'fan' on twitter is a hateful devil, all because MLB sent some nameless prostitutes after him to defame his name. American culture has become garbage. It's a minority to be sure, but that minority is in power.

I think everything he went through was politically motived. He made a lot of enemies in MLB by being so open and critical of the league. Even his teammates didn't like him because of it. So it wouldn't be surprising if someone in the league paid these women to make false allegations against him

If there was a way to stream their games here in the US I would really enjoy watching Japanese baseball ⚾

MLB will end up like The FA in soccer, a former pinnacle authority of the sport that got left behind in complacency when the international game appealed better and struck better capital lines to rise, lest attitude changes in owners about making an culturally engaging product instead of a quick buck or sensationalism for the sake of boosting merchandise sales.

@@-apple-4848　true, but the previous games he got hit super hard the moment he went beyond 100. Let's see how he does the next few games.

He didn't expose the sticky stuff issue, nor was it a "scandal." MLB knew it was going on, fans knew, players knew, but it was one of those "we're all doing it, so we don't really care and it keeps batters somewhat safer" things. The rule against foreign substances had been in place for decades.

The information in the video is not totally correct about the fan club. The $15K price is only for the highest tier and only a few of those are available. There is a regular tier that is $2380. The regular one gets you invited to special events, an autographed official Jersey, Bauer Outage apparel, signed ball in a case and official fan club plaque.

Japan understand what the NBA and NFL does here- you can market individual players and create brands away from the team. Player empowerment is low in baseball bc of old school attitude and its really missing out. When people complain about baseball not have strong coverage- let the players market themselves. But also I hate Bauer and wish he was in jail so not him

seattle had king court i believe when felix hernadez started and the section was always wild

Preach !!!! I was like how do you skip the part that might have got him kicked out.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if these women were paid to accuse him. We all know that he made a lot of enemies in MLB with his criticisms of the league and of the juiced balls. He also had a lot of teammates who didn't like him. And all it takes is one woman to make a false allegation, and then predictably other women will join, probably smelling money in the water.

And the media loves to report on sensational claims like this. Look at Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. Justice won out, but in the media, men are guilty until proven innocent, and there is no apology from the media.

Please, explain how you know

The copium is real lol

Any woman assaulted by a wealthy man will NEVER be believed. No matter how many may come forward. No matter you needed medical attention. No matter his past of disrespect towards so many. It is ok for a wealthy/ famous man to get away with beating a woman. This guy is a jerk on and off the field.

Do Japanese women enjoy getting choked into unconsciousness?

Lars Nootbaar's mother put it best: Baseball is like a religion over in Japan. Seems like it's significantly more popular over in Japan than it is here in the US.

No team would allow Ohtani to pitch and hit until he threatened to leave for the MLB.

He was the only MLB player with a personality. Also an important innovator in baseball and off the field. All thrown out because he called out corruption and some random prostitute tried to defame him. Baseball has always been full of egos and dumb rules, which is why he had such a hard time before turning pro. MLB/conformist fans think players throwing bats, making teams as foreign as possible, and having Pride Night is revolutionary but in reality Bauer was revolutionary within the game with mechanics and antics, and also off the field with his youtubing.

Do you know why Japan loves him? Because he's an American baseball player playing there in Japan. The fandom weebs here in the states have for anime and disconnect from actual Japan culture is the exact same fascination Japanese baseball fans have for literally any American who played in the big leagues playing over there. They don't care about the allegations, because beating women and children behind closed doors is still acceptable in that society.

@@slashismyhommie8182or, maybe, let’s just put in our thinking brain, he wasn’t found guilty🤯

@@Jaberdoodle can you reference a court case with a verdict of not guilty? Every court case is public record. Not too hard to find if you're so sure of it.

All these coaches and trainers hated him for ignoring their training suggestions and sticking with his own training routine that helped him go pro. From the beginning he had been stuck with the reputation of being "uncoachable" and a "diva." He also got into a ton of trouble for calling out all the pitchers who keep using illegal substances in 2018. Hes right though, as the only way for any pitcher to increase their fastball's spin rate is with foreign substances, specifically pine tar. So it was the combination of pissing off coaches and catchers with his training routine, and the MLB commissioners office on his Twitter crusade against pitchers using foreign substances, that when the bs sexual assault charges came along, they suspended him. Even after they were all dropped, the League still banned him for so many games. They just wanted to send a message to the other players what they would do to them if they ever tried to show them up. Its sad though that the players union didnt stick up for Trevor Bauer.

I don’t think oj has been “a player in sports” since the 80’s but to each their own.

Controversial implies there's two sides. The opinion OJ killed Jessica is pretty unanimous, and the only reason he really got off was because there was a majority-African American jury and this trial was in light of the LA race riots in the 90s. The 30 for 30 documentary is pretty comprehensive in its analysis of it.

@@richardtherichard26 clearly you mentioning a player that played in the 70s and was notorious for something in the 90s, bringing up the 80s means you have no clue on the fucking subject. Oj was a Heisman winner, the first to rush for 2000 yards in the NFL in a season, an NFL, Hall of Famer, a color commentator on Monday night football. It’s sideline reporter for NBC (notably the famous Leon Lett game in the snow), was in several movies that did well in the box office, appeared nationally in television commercials for many years for several products. Just because you’re either young or don’t have a clue doesn’t mean the guy didn’t exist. I’m not saying this as a fan of his. I’m just stating it’s general fact. Let’s not pretend like he didn’t fucking exist or only is noted for a few things.

Bauer should have just worn a chastity belt and taken it off when he got his plaque in Cooperstown. Now, he's playing in Japan for a fraction of the pay and fame. That penis of his cost him probably $100 million. World's most expensive penis right there.

He is a literal rapist

Probably because he put a woman in the hospital but what do I know 🤷‍♂️

there are A LOT of stupid people in America. Also nowadays people get brainwashed by social media such as the commenter above me

Yeah, it's pretty funny how poorly this video aged but it was honestly just a matter of time until Bauer pissed off the NPB and Japanese fans too. Dude really sucks at just going out and playing baseball (the one thing he actually gets paid to do).

We promise it won't go to trial. Just make some accusations and get this bag.

Ding ding

I was thinking the exact same thing. That makes too much sense

Nah, this is a crock. If MLB was gonna blackball him for foreign substances, he wouldn't have had the Dodgers, Mets, and other teams bidding for his services. The Dodgers cut him as soon as his suspension was up because the optics of having an accused rapist/documented woman beater on your active roster aren't great, regardless of the outcome of Bauer's legal proceedings.

@@Panasonicy0uth your argument might hold water if there weren’t multiple players in the MLB accused of domestic violence but are still playing. Remember a few weeks ago when everyone was going crazy for Domingo German’s perfect game? Julio Urias still pitches for the Dodgers and he actually got charged unlike Bauer

Thanks to this expert on legal issues and sexual assault for their scintillating analysis

@@PlaySA You don't need a to be a legal expert to see a bunch of women trying and failing to extort money from someone and also failing at bringing him down in court.

@@PlaySA Fortunately, you'll never have his level of success so you likely won't have to worry about sexual assault allegations.

⁠That’s why I said in my honest opinion. Its funny to see how upset you were. However, maybe I should be a lawyer, because the facts show he’s not guilty. I also liked your use of the word scintillating - it made you seem smart, but as the facts show….

@@PlaySA You're literally a joke. All those claims on sexual assault are fake and women just wanting to get a payday because they weren't happy. Media is crazy for making this become so big and he lost a lot because of those false allegations.

I mean, the guy’s an asshole and has always been an asshole. That doesn’t mean you can’t like him, but this narrative that he’s just this nice guy who works hard is ludicrous. The guy’s been a dickhead and a troll since the start and other players have always disliked him. It’s still absolutely wild, for example, how many people still believe that “BD911” didn’t mean what we all know it meant. Bauer has done that constantly. His interactions with that girl on Twitter were also pretty fucking appalling and once again, people still defend that bullshit. He’s a great pitcher, but he’s just an asshole.

It’s only been half a season and he’s pitching well. Let’s see how much they still love him when he does poorly.

Not all of us Americans eat up the media bs so easily, but I can unfortunately see why we have that reputation.

@@warlordofbritannia I would rather cheer for the guy if he doesn't perform than become a write for the Athletic and start criticizing, so I have no interest in that.

@@nalgene2474 allegations are all fake? Sure…

If u watched this video u would know the same

The American media has made their money by only telling stories that fits their narrative. Can’t have any critical analysis or free thought. That stuff doesn’t sell.

Standard operating procedure for the mainstream media in the US. When they want to make someone or something look bad, they'll go out of their way to do it. Now, think about this: if they are willing to go this hard on a baseball player that hasn't been arrested, had no charges, no solid evidence against him (especially when compared to other players that have BLATANTLY beat their wives, yet they are STILL playing in MLB), then what else are they lying about?

That's what happens when you're a bad person. We're not gonna highlight and praise him doing positive things when he should be in prison

That's how the US media works now. Once you are accused, then they have to follow the narrative that you're automatically guilty.

@@do-not-subscribe clown

idk

Truthfully, he's just a big nerd. That grates on some athletes here in the US. In Japan, it's just normal. I wouldn't be surprised if nobody showed interest in Bauer because he wanted to play in Japan, and Chalupa (Rachel Lupa, his manager) poisoned it by asking for more than the league minimum. If he does stay over there and lives happy, more power to him.

We here in America don't deserve him.

As a Yank living in Japan who wants to go watch and appreciate his play, I hope he stays here, too. I know I only planned to stay for a few years but it's been almost 20 now. Japan's much saner and kinder than the U.S. is now.

His pitching knowledge is second to none currently. His analytical approach to mechanics, grip, and finger pressure helped me very much with my own pitching.

always felt the NHL was the same way. The real punishment is for making the system look stupid. That's why favored goons would get away with all kinds of atrocities

If you work with somewhere where you believe stuff needs changed, should you do so appropriately or in a way that makes everyone hate you. Seems Trevor is not some perfect angel that was just too honest and transparent.

Only evidence that came out showed that she lied

Bauer basically went to war with the MLB during the sticky stuff era and was a key figure in exposing it. The MLB has a personal vendetta against him because of this.

@@theread3480 yup, the commissioner in particular. There's no way that other teams didn't want him, even if he is controversial, but Rob Manchild got his ego busted and now he wants to keep Bauer looking terrible. Is it possible that Trevor did what they've claimed? Sure it is. But there's been no actual proof yet to convict him, and actual proof to back up his claims.

Even if he’s not a criminal, he gets off beating the sh*t out of women. You think that’s cool?

@@Akkbar21 It's not my thing, but people are in to some weird shit. Seems there's a lot of folks into that sort of thing, BDSM is a huge kink apparently, I'd have to assume this is an extension of it. Either way, I don't care about his personal life, it's what he brings to the game. MLB has shown that they don't care if (alleged) domestic abusers play, yet they've made an example out of Trevor...and the reason is fairly obvious.

Who doesnt have beef with cheaters?

Gerrit Cole is actually really good too tho(most of the time) top pitchers competitiveness

I'm sure there were, but from what I can tell by his personality, he'd rather avoid the whole situation with American media than get paid more. People in Japan absolutely love him. Seems like he just has fun playing over there, so why not if you've already got your bag?

@@bmil38 oh yeah I 100% agree I can tell he enjoys himself way more than he did in america, there’s definitely less pressure and like you said the people love him too

I wish he had come to the Astros! Noting would have been more hilarious and as a Astros fan I love the guy have no hard feelings at his funny trolling of us! Let's do it "most hated player" signs with the "most hated team"!

@@samuelcollinsTX yeah bro there was no way he’d ever go to the astros, think the guy would’ve retired if that was the only contract he was offered 😂

@@ltello_2936 hahahaha you never know, dude is a madman wild card. Might just do it for lols! But I think a lot of people would agree with you.
