Bring him in!! Gerritt Cole bullied Bauer and for some reason that makes Bauer a bad guy. Its ridiculous! Why trade for a SP when you can sign a SP the caliber of Bauer without giving up anything! It is a no brainer! If he doesn’t work out then its no loss because you didn’t give anybody up.
Bauer just truck out 19 and now had the record in the Mexican league. Garret Cole could not go down and do that - for the love of god - Bauer will play for minimum. I am so tired of your drivel if you can’t acknowledge that you are carrying the commissioners water trying to keep him out. Baseball is a business and Bauer is the best deal in baseball - fuck the commissioner.
What did Mookie say about Bauer? “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. Oct 31, 2023 (Everyone deserves a second chance. All Bauer would have to do is win a couple of games and the dart throwers would lay down their darts)
But it is the argument you think it is? First of all, I'm not arguing for Bauer, and Mookie is well respected, that's why I used what he said. My point is, anyone deserves a second chance, and the reason Bauer isn't getting one is teams are scared what people will think. But I would guarantee if any team gave him that second chance and he was winning games, people would be praising him and the team that gave him the second chance.
@@BobE316 I believe in second chances on a case by case basis. Someone accused of sexual assault by 4 women, accused of filming himself having sex with their unconscious, lifeless bodies, does not deserve one. He got his 'second chance' by not having to go to prison because the MLB agreed to keep abuse investigations confidential when they enacted the policy in 2015.
yes bring him in! idk why everyone is saying he is a cancer, he was young and confident. He is a changed man that wants his chance back. What better person to get on your team cheap!!!!!?
@walterehmann8799 I feel that, can we name one that would be worth picking up for the price? I'm just looking at it as a cheap rental, and see what he has. Still go after someone else too for sure. Definitely not replacing bradish but more of an upgrade over irvin or Suarez. Send Suarez to the bullpen.
@@walterehmann8799not that I’m saying we bring Bauer in but I would not use that as the excuse. Look how well Suarez is pitching and he hadn’t pitched in the bigs for 7 years before he joined us.
He didn't listen to his coaches and chucked a ball when Francona took him out of the game. Also, that whole drone incident where he hurt himself and couldn't pitch in a playoff game. Guy is just a freelancer.
It don't matter what happened. He was cleared of all wrong doing. The amount of knowledge the young pitchers can learn off of burnes and bauer would be priceless. When baseball is taken away from you for so long it tends to change alot of people's mindset and way they approach the game. Sign him to a minimum deal and if it's not what they want let him go
Bring Bauer in. He's innocent and it's proven. Bring him on a 1 year deal and see what happens. Everyone deserves a second chance, especially if they were falsely accused.
Fact Ryan Fact he's still a monster I been watching him the whole time he been gone he's crisp he's got snap great fastball placement and I think best of all he's work on his mindset with all the shit his been through Trevor I'm talking about
The one thing I would say is that America loves a great comeback story. This man has gone through allot and deserves a chance. He seems genuine. Check out his interview with PBD. To do things right takes courage.
For sure understand it’s a polarizing topic. I just tried to explain why I think I Orioles or other teams wouldn’t. Try to give the perspective of what I think the teams would do.
@@RYANRIPKENMEDIAnot that polarolizing from fan perspective IMO....national media, MLB PR perspective, the super woke yes they will be what makes it polarizing.
It’s disgusting that in America a guy can get accused and then completely exonerated and yet that’s not enough for a second chance. So with that thinking we can destroy anyone we want by falsely accusing them, consequences be damned
We need so many Holes plugged up.We need a starter we need to close And we need a couple guys in the line up thinking actually hit the ball With power and drive in runs instead of striking out Two and three times a night
Please sign Trev!!!! Come on Ryan, ask your dad. How many guys back in his day got away with stuff and were guilty? I know that's not a reasonable question to ask a LEGEND. However, why not? You know what I'm saying? Trevor is innocent. Plain and simple. Let's make this happen. Trevor is ready to impart knowledge. He has WS talent left in him but I'll tell ya what, he can be a WS coach. You sign Trevor Bauer? Not only are you getting someone who will propel you where ya wanna go. You also may be gaining Trevor who will stay with y'all UNTIL HE PASSES THIS EARTH. Think about that. Whoever brings Trev back? He will be with that team forever. Think about it.
I said it in one of the last shows... Bauer... He costs the farm nothing, he's a top-tier pitcher, & he'll be relatively inexpensive. When you can keep prospects, make a cost-effective acquisition, and fill a major void, you don't balk... you make the move! Send a scout to Mexico, talk to the dude, and clear a locker! Incentive laden contract.
Here is all you need to know about Bauer. He said he would play for the minimum. Pitchers are getting injured all over the major leagues. And how many teams have brought Bauer in. Zero. Zero out of 30 teams.
Bauer is the definition of money ball 101. Who fills the seats in Baltimore? If the fans want Bauer, then sign him. If Bauer doesn’t work out, you cut him. He’s not going to cost the organization a lot of money and his pitching is awesome. As for him not pitching in the MLB. Maybe the oligarchs that run MLB need to get off their high horse. If Kobe Bryant can get a second chance in NBA then Bauer should deserve a second chance. And I’m willing to bet there have been men who have played MLB who have actually assaulted women who have been given second and third chances. Ozuma, Chapman and Sano are all still playing baseball.i guess Bauer is being held to a different standard.
this is the most ridiculous question, it's a no-brainer. you could probably get him for cheap. and in his words... he's the best he's ever been. makes no sense. why not give it a shot. does anyone know why they wouldn't sign Trevor Bauer?
I think if they bring in and can bring him in cheap why not but Bauer has been known to be a locker room cancer so if they get him cheap and can cut him if he starts becoming a issue and not take a huge loss bring him in.
Times change situations get judged if they wanna get bauer as crazy as it sounds go for it Everyone made a big deal about albert belle n how he would be Palmeiro with the steroid scandal Sosa n his steroid rumor based on his history If its trevir baouer for a low risk your paying him as a player nor his personal antics
I am not opposed to Bauer. What can our pitching lab do with another Cy Young Winner.... I'd sign himand add a few option years because Burns is gone after the season.
If you don’t think the bro Trevor Bauer doesn’t belong on this literal frat boy haven that is the orioles than yeah he has no shot at MLB. They’re perfect. Would love to hear and oriole players take on it.
Orioles need Bullpen help and a real closer. Kimbrel has blown what 5 games that we probably should of won. We need a consistent closer which we thought we were getting when we gave Kimbrel 10 mil. With this team as good as it's been, you have no choice but to find top notch pitching no matter the cost but without being stupid and giving up Kjerstad, Norby or Mayo. We need bullpen. Baker, Webb, tate is not going to be enough to get you there. We also need a big bat. Get the bullpen help and get a bat and this team is there guaranteed.
Also Kimbrel blew the save against the Yankees the other night but the Orioles still ended up winning the game. So yeah he blew the save but it didn't cost the Orioles the game.
@vaughnjb good point but not 4 before the break and Bautista was wild but he had real closer velo and way more upside. I would say Kimbrel is in decline. Still a good pitcher but his days of being lights out are over in my opinion. Still plenty of games left to prove me wrong but there's a reason Philly didn't resign him with the team that they have again this year. We will see I guess.
@ohet1 I looked up Kimbrel's stats with the Phillies. He was 22-27 on save opportunities. But what I found out was he had the second most appearances and innings pitched of his career. The most since his second year in the majors. Phillies over used him. Mid 30's guy and you pitch him the second most of his entire career. Dumb by the Phillies. They wore him down.
It’s sad he was cleared, he exposed mlb. And yes he’s matured it seems if you look at any of his videos in the npk and Mexican league. You telling me you can’t sit here and name countless people who were difficult to be teammates with. So you can’t use that as an excuse. He’s been cleared, the only thing I believe is still hurting him is his coming out against mlb. A lot of the negative opinions on him are sad some of the stuff said about him is disrespectful. If you want to use he’s a cancer without acknowledging how many professional mlb players or athletes period that are like that. And without looking into how much he’s changed your not being fair by actually looking into it enough to speak on it. If you can come up with something legitimate then ok. But just the same old bs doesn’t cut. Lastly if you want to have a good show. Make sure your really looking into any topic your speaking. Cause your casually speaking on a man who has a lot more to deal with then the normal athlete. So don’t blindly contribute to the negativity.
If it’s going to be a starter it should be Crochet. The bullpen is where we really need help more than anything. Right now our starter has to pitch a CG shutout to guarantee a 1 run win. Crochet has bullpen experience, he’s a LHP(all of our SP are RHP)he has the most Ks in MLB and 2nd highest swing and miss rate. He’s not a FA until 2027. He gives Hyde the option of pitching in relief in October this year, especially in bases loaded less than 2 outs situations, and for multiple innings. Next season though, if we sign Burns and keep Means, you have Burnes, Bradish, Means, Rodriguez for the playoffs with Crochet setting up Bautista, both having 6 out capabilities. So in 2025-26, if you get 5 shutout innings from each of your four starters and a solo homer from the offense, you win that game 9/10 times without any additional offense. Crochet is also going to cost less in a trade and in a contract extension, leaving more room to sign Burnes. Bottom line, Crochet trade this year combined with a Burnes signing this winter, is as close as you’re going to get to a guaranteed World Series trip and win.
If CULTURE is great ... then that's because of management. If management is GREAT, then they will fit a person to the culture. Unfortunately, the coach is not as good as Phil Jackson is for basketball. Trevor's not a good fit, because the coaching isn't that great.
If you sign Bauer and trade for Crochet that really opens you up to put crochet in the bullpen this October. Which is our biggest weakness right now. Trading prospects for Skubal almost obligates you to keep selling prospects for a big reliever because if Skubal pitches 7 shut out innings and we lose 2-1 in the 8th/9th what’s the point? Our offense is great, yea, but remember, our 1-2 starters will face their 1-2 starters so runs are going to be at a premium. Right now our 1-2 starters match up very well with every AL postseason contender, but our bullpen is in shambles comparatively speaking. Kimbrel is having a great year and still has the 2nd most blown saves in baseball, and he doesn’t even own all of our blown saves this year, he barely owns half.
I love Bauer, I watch his TH-cam channel and he’s an awesome dude that would fit right into our clubhouse, but I have to say; everyone is so focused on the starting pitching, but our focus has got to be on the bullpen. Craig is having a great year, but in that great year he’s got the second most blown saves in baseball(only second most because of what we did to Clay Holmes after he blew the save the other day)and he doesn’t even own all the blown saves allowed by the Orioles this year. All the starters in the world won’t change the fact that we can’t close out games. Mason Miller should be the target of the blockbuster packages and Kirby Yates, I think, is the best sleeper pitcher on the market. I’ll take our rotation as it is with Miller and Yates versus our bullpen as it is with Skubal.
Why not? This man deserves redemption and goodwill. MLB needs to understand Trevor's talent over accusations and past imperfect statements. I would love to see him in Birdland....But, you know the weird attitude in the U.S. today. There would be blue haired protestors all over Camden Yards making national headlines to boycott the Orioles for hiring someone they find unpleasant.
Your a hypocrite. You say take a risk on talent but deny the talent that Trevor Bauer is. You have this platform and you want to dog a guy you don’t know all because he had a beef with the commissioner who doesn’t like baseball. Watch what he’s done in Mexico how he interacts with teammates. He’s not a 25 year old diva anymore…
I think if you’ve got enough good culture on a team you can bring in an iffy guy at the right price knowing he’s gotta come in and fit into the team. (Big thing the patriots, and other top tier NFL teams were able to do)
I am saying the same for the Brewers . I do not hate the Orioles! Thanks for Joey Ortiz by the way. At this point with Bauer I just want him in the league and wish it was the Brewers who made that happen but if it is the Orioles so be it. What has happened to him is not fair.
So we packing up for next season Burnes Grod and a throw in for the postseason sound like a perfect recipe for an early exit hate to say it but we need another ace not just another throw in arm we have plenty of those
Jack is much more of a locker room cancer than Trevor. Trevor pissed of the commissioner of the league and the owners don’t wanna get on the bad side of the commissioner who thinks all the players just play for a piece of metal
Amazing you posted this without a ton of haters flooding the chat. I believe the tide is rolling back the other way. Bauer is the same as Trump to one group of people. They cannot see past their own bias
A truly asinine comment. Ryan, you’re going to make a wonderful adult someday when you learn to think for yourself instead of espousing your dad’s status quo. Let’s reverse the feet and now you’re an innocent and cleared Trevor Bauer when an important and influential person whom you’ve never met comes out and wrongly criticizes you saying it’s ok to blackball you when all the time you know you are innocent and a good person who has tons to add to any baseball team. It’s about the most unfair, meanest , most low down thing anyone can do to another. Let me tell you something, Ryan, you can’t fuck this team up by adding Bauer, you can only enhance it. I’m so angry at this crap opinion of your dads you can count me unsubscribed.
I don’t speak for my dad. I don’t speak for anybody else. I speak on what I think the team would do. That’s the point I was making. If we are being honest, I wish you could separate the two. Everything I have done has been on my own. I respect your opinion, but be careful before making accusations about me as an individual. And if you unsubscribe because of that, fine. That’s your choice. Wish you the best.
EVEN IF you can overlook the fact he has multiple ongoing SA investigations and is a known clubhouse cancer (i dont know how any of that can be overlooked), he’s not even a good pitcher Look at his career stats. He only has like 2 full seasons of being good, the rest range from mid to bad (Covid year doesn’t count.) and if you wanna argue he’s doing well in Mexico, 41 year old Robinson cano has a 1.152 OPS in the same league. Goes to show what the competition is like down there
Dude, this. I’ve tried to bang this drum but these Bauer fanatics are convinced he’s the Pedro Martinez of his generation. If you look at his career stats…his nearest comp is a dude like Robbie Ray. One elite Cy Young year, one or two good to great years, and the rest ok to bad years. A good pitcher? Sure. Worth falling all over yourself about based on his stats from the Mexican League? Not at all. 😆
@@mx4159Agreed, he’s been a mostly average pitcher in his career. An average player in the best league, to be fair, but nowhere near worthy of the idolization he gets. Another thing I just thought of is that he was a prime “sticky stuff” regression candidate with his best run in 2020 and early 2021 before the ban. I could easily see an alternate universe where he doesn’t get suspended and just returns to being an average to back-end starter like he was early in his career. Just simply not worthy of the hero worship he gets, plain as that.
@@walterehmann8799 I totally forgot about that. He absolutely was benefitting from the sticky stuff. He’s just not worth the time. I think it’s pretty clear all 30 organizations agree
Absolutely not. We're better than that and he would bring a dark cloud of negativity around the club. Seriously kinda gross that this is even a topic of discussion.
Clown show just stop obviously you are not watching him the last three years playing Japan Mexico. Just stop with the bashing of his character. i’m thinking you’re part of the problem Ryan and all your guests that are bashing Bauer. what’s really fucked up is Deshaun Watson can get a $250 million contract but Trevor Bauer can’t get back in that’s bullshit.
Sorry you feel that way. I never bashed him. I just explained why I think MLB teams wouldn’t sign him. He has become a polarizing player and teams whether right or wrong, consider the other factors.
@@RYANRIPKENMEDIA dont get me wrong i like the show and love everything Ripken i just dont like how the MEDIA treats him even after he was cleared i kno in my bones he was black balled by Manford and the media i wanna kno how drug addicts and wife beaters can still play and put in the HOF. But a man accused and was shown to be innocent is now “banned” from BB
And that’s a whole separate conversation which I understand. Again, I have been asked a ton why the Os haven’t pursued him. I gave my reasons thinking thru a team perspective on what they would or wouldn’t do. Thank you for watching and interacting.
Ryan you never read my comment a few months ago, I played soccer against you at a field day at St Paul’s! We are the same age and your Dad was literally my hero!
They need someone. If we lose Burnes next year, which would be a big mistake, that means next year we basically just have one “ace” in Grayson. Not gonna cut it
I respect the Bauer take, thanks for elaborating. Tons of talent there, but any fan that has watched this organization turn itself around can tell clubhouse morale has been one of, if not the biggest factor.
What are you basing those assumptions on? I've watched Trevor Bauer on his TH-cam channel for a couple years and he seems like a pretty hard working, level headed person. His teammates seem to genuinely like him too. I think maybe you drank the Kool-Aid and are regurgitating disproven lies about the guy.
The guy would pitch first the minimum, is waaaaay more motivated than many pitchers We have why not give him the chance to prove himself
I would absolutely bring him in.
Bring him in!! Gerritt Cole bullied Bauer and for some reason that makes Bauer a bad guy. Its ridiculous! Why trade for a SP when you can sign a SP the caliber of Bauer without giving up anything! It is a no brainer! If he doesn’t work out then its no loss because you didn’t give anybody up.

Sign Bauer. Tell him to be quiet and do his own thing and win a world series. After you win sign long term to incentive based deal
geeze guys, crapping all over Bauer because of "team culture" yet you then bring up bringing back Flaherty, who clearly didn't get along with the team
If you want to win yes if you want to be losers no but the Yankees might grab him
Every team has a player with controvesy its a low risk
Objectively false
Here is my question
Why not?
Seriously? Why not?
Give up nothing
MLB minimum
Bauer will go to the Yankees because Gil has hit his innings limit...basically. I think we can sign Bauer or face him.
If we are serious about winning a championship they have to make bold moves and take a risk.
We need so many Holes plugged up.We need a starter we need to close And we need a couple guys in the line up thinking actually hit the ball With power and drive in runs instead of striking out Two and three times a night
I don’t get the hesitancy. The guy was falsely accused and still throws gas.
They need a starter and bullpen help to shore up their pitching definately. Bauer would do it just to prove himself and stick with it.

Yes, worth a shot. Was proven innocent and set up by that woman.

He said he would play for the minimum.

Everyone made a big deal about albert belle n how he would be
Palmeiro with the steroid scandal
Sosa n his steroid rumor based on his history
If its trevir baouer for a low risk your paying him as a player nor his personal antics
I am not opposed to Bauer. What can our pitching lab do with another Cy Young Winner.... I'd sign himand add a few option years because Burns is gone after the season.
Bring him in so I could see Eric Sim during the game
Is this a serious consideration from the clubhouse or just fan speculation?

Crochet has bullpen experience, he’s a LHP(all of our SP are RHP)he has the most Ks in MLB and 2nd highest swing and miss rate. He’s not a FA until 2027. He gives Hyde the option of pitching in relief in October this year, especially in bases loaded less than 2 outs situations, and for multiple innings. Next season though, if we sign Burns and keep Means, you have Burnes, Bradish, Means, Rodriguez for the playoffs with Crochet setting up Bautista, both having 6 out capabilities. So in 2025-26, if you get 5 shutout innings from each of your four starters and a solo homer from the offense, you win that game 9/10 times without any additional offense. Crochet is also going to cost less in a trade and in a contract extension, leaving more room to sign Burnes. Bottom line, Crochet trade this year combined with a Burnes signing this winter, is as close as you’re going to get to a guaranteed World Series trip and win.
If CULTURE is great ... then that's because of management. If management is GREAT, then they will fit a person to the culture. Unfortunately, the coach is not as good as Phil Jackson is for basketball. Trevor's not a good fit, because the coaching isn't that great.
If you sign Bauer and trade for Crochet that really opens you up to put crochet in the bullpen this October. Which is our biggest weakness right now. Trading prospects for Skubal almost obligates you to keep selling prospects for a big reliever because if Skubal pitches 7 shut out innings and we lose 2-1 in the 8th/9th what’s the point? Our offense is great, yea, but remember, our 1-2 starters will face their 1-2 starters so runs are going to be at a premium. Right now our 1-2 starters match up very well with every AL postseason contender, but our bullpen is in shambles comparatively speaking. Kimbrel is having a great year and still has the 2nd most blown saves in baseball, and he doesn’t even own all of our blown saves this year, he barely owns half.
I love Bauer, I watch his TH-cam channel and he’s an awesome dude that would fit right into our clubhouse, but I have to say; everyone is so focused on the starting pitching, but our focus has got to be on the bullpen. Craig is having a great year, but in that great year he’s got the second most blown saves in baseball(only second most because of what we did to Clay Holmes after he blew the save the other day)and he doesn’t even own all the blown saves allowed by the Orioles this year. All the starters in the world won’t change the fact that we can’t close out games. Mason Miller should be the target of the blockbuster packages and Kirby Yates, I think, is the best sleeper pitcher on the market. I’ll take our rotation as it is with Miller and Yates versus our bullpen as it is with Skubal.
Why not? This man deserves redemption and goodwill. MLB needs to understand Trevor's talent over accusations and past imperfect statements. I would love to see him in Birdland....But, you know the weird attitude in the U.S. today. There would be blue haired protestors all over Camden Yards making national headlines to boycott the Orioles for hiring someone they find unpleasant.
Your a hypocrite. You say take a risk on talent but deny the talent that Trevor Bauer is. You have this platform and you want to dog a guy you don’t know all because he had a beef with the commissioner who doesn’t like baseball. Watch what he’s done in Mexico how he interacts with teammates. He’s not a 25 year old diva anymore…
I dont watch baseball but I watch Trevor Bauer youtube videos. I would watch MLB if Trevor was playing just to see the content.
For anyone that needs a reference watch Arizona’s committee game in last years World Series, AND they had 2 big dogs pitch game 1 and 2.
Don’t care what team. Girls were guilty. Bring him back. He was right about the sticky stuff. Bring him back.
They meed to sell the farm, or whats left, and get a frontline starter!!! Bullpen help also! RedSox did it in 2018!!!
I think if you’ve got enough good culture on a team you can bring in an iffy guy at the right price knowing he’s gotta come in and fit into the team. (Big thing the patriots, and other top tier NFL teams were able to do)
Threw 19k’s his last outing. 19!!! Jesus what else does the guy have to do for the gatekeepers to allow him back in?
I am saying the same for the Brewers . I do not hate the Orioles! Thanks for Joey Ortiz by the way. At this point with Bauer I just want him in the league and wish it was the Brewers who made that happen but if it is the Orioles so be it. What has happened to him is not fair.
The only people who think Bauer doesn’t belong in the league are the talking heads. 90% of fans believe he was hosed and would love to have him.
So we packing up for next season Burnes Grod and a throw in for the postseason sound like a perfect recipe for an early exit hate to say it but we need another ace not just another throw in arm we have plenty of those
No way. As a Yankees fan and a Trevor fan, I do not support this! The Orioles don’t need to be any better than they already are!!! 😭
Lets talk about using his name to get views on your video , only talking about him for a fraction. On par for social media.
Jack is much more of a locker room cancer than Trevor. Trevor pissed of the commissioner of the league and the owners don’t wanna get on the bad side of the commissioner who thinks all the players just play for a piece of metal
So, mean tweets. Got it.
Trevor Bauer would be a great addition. He has a very nasty cutter and an even nastier slider. #doors #sword #baltimorebauer
Stinky runny, nutty, burning, never ending crap on Bauer. Hard pass on him.
I know everybody needs views but tldr: IT'S NEVER GONNA HAPPEEEENNNNNuh
Povich has serious control and location issues.
He’s young dude give him time , he’s a 5th day starter as of now lol
lazardo on 60 day IL and sucks. why is lazardo even mentioned?
How do we not find a big time starter when we could lose Burnes next season. We can’t just roll with Grayson next year as the only ace
Fact. Sign him to league minimum 3 years with a 1 year team option at a prove it salary.
FACT: Trevor Bauer belongs on every MLB team
No thanks on Flaherty unless his first name is Ryan
Amazing you posted this without a ton of haters flooding the chat. I believe the tide is rolling back the other way. Bauer is the same as Trump to one group of people. They cannot see past their own bias
What is Bauer gonna hurt Ryan? All he did was sleep with the wrong women we all do that as men? Bring him in
Again I give my opinion based of what I think MLB teams are thinking.
Nope he needs to come to Cleveland
Pitching wins championships
Dude may get humbled with the right team
A truly asinine comment. Ryan, you’re going to make a wonderful adult someday when you learn to think for yourself instead of espousing your dad’s status quo. Let’s reverse the feet and now you’re an innocent and cleared Trevor Bauer when an important and influential person whom you’ve never met comes out and wrongly criticizes you saying it’s ok to blackball you when all the time you know you are innocent and a good person who has tons to add to any baseball team. It’s about the most unfair, meanest , most low down thing anyone can do to another. Let me tell you something, Ryan, you can’t fuck this team up by adding Bauer, you can only enhance it. I’m so angry at this crap opinion of your dads you can count me unsubscribed.
I don’t speak for my dad. I don’t speak for anybody else. I speak on what I think the team would do. That’s the point I was making.
If we are being honest, I wish you could separate the two. Everything I have done has been on my own. I respect your opinion, but be careful before making accusations about me as an individual.
And if you unsubscribe because of that, fine. That’s your choice. Wish you the best.
@@jackmundo4043 all good Jack. Always wish the best
Hell No to Bauer
EVEN IF you can overlook the fact he has multiple ongoing SA investigations and is a known clubhouse cancer (i dont know how any of that can be overlooked), he’s not even a good pitcher
Look at his career stats. He only has like 2 full seasons of being good, the rest range from mid to bad (Covid year doesn’t count.) and if you wanna argue he’s doing well in Mexico, 41 year old Robinson cano has a 1.152 OPS in the same league. Goes to show what the competition is like down there
Dude, this. I’ve tried to bang this drum but these Bauer fanatics are convinced he’s the Pedro Martinez of his generation. If you look at his career stats…his nearest comp is a dude like Robbie Ray. One elite Cy Young year, one or two good to great years, and the rest ok to bad years. A good pitcher? Sure. Worth falling all over yourself about based on his stats from the Mexican League? Not at all. 😆
@@walterehmann8799 exactly. He only has a single season where he has an ERA below 4 and over 110 IP, and it’s not like he’s young either.
@@mx4159Agreed, he’s been a mostly average pitcher in his career. An average player in the best league, to be fair, but nowhere near worthy of the idolization he gets.
Another thing I just thought of is that he was a prime “sticky stuff” regression candidate with his best run in 2020 and early 2021 before the ban. I could easily see an alternate universe where he doesn’t get suspended and just returns to being an average to back-end starter like he was early in his career.
Just simply not worthy of the hero worship he gets, plain as that.
@@walterehmann8799 I totally forgot about that. He absolutely was benefitting from the sticky stuff.
He’s just not worth the time. I think it’s pretty clear all 30 organizations agree
He would cost league minimum, you guys act like he’s gunna get paid millions of dollars lmao. He’s worth the chance.
Absolutely not. We're better than that and he would bring a dark cloud of negativity around the club. Seriously kinda gross that this is even a topic of discussion.
The man was cleared, stop with nonsense
So who do you have in our starting rotation next season? Lose Burnes then we basically have one “ace” with Grayson. We need solid starters big time.
Crap!
Fact!
Fact
Clown show just stop obviously you are not watching him the last three years playing Japan Mexico. Just stop with the bashing of his character. i’m thinking you’re part of the problem Ryan and all your guests that are bashing Bauer. what’s really fucked up is Deshaun Watson can get a $250 million contract but Trevor Bauer can’t get back in that’s bullshit.
Sorry you feel that way. I never bashed him. I just explained why I think MLB teams wouldn’t sign him. He has become a polarizing player and teams whether right or wrong, consider the other factors.
@@RYANRIPKENMEDIA dont get me wrong i like the show and love everything Ripken i just dont like how the MEDIA treats him even after he was cleared i kno in my bones he was black balled by Manford and the media i wanna kno how drug addicts and wife beaters can still play and put in the HOF. But a man accused and was shown to be innocent is now “banned” from BB
And that’s a whole separate conversation
which I understand.
Again, I have been asked a ton why the Os haven’t pursued him. I gave my reasons thinking thru a team perspective on what they would or wouldn’t do.
Thank you for watching and interacting.
Ryan you never read my comment a few months ago, I played soccer against you at a field day at St Paul’s! We are the same age and your Dad was literally my hero!
No Jack Flaherty, please.
If Bauer was cleared of charges he deserves consideration..however as I recall he had some attitude issues.
You guys don’t know how to run a business - 10k followers says enough - I am out.
We have zero depth anywhere in the pitching staff
They need someone. If we lose Burnes next year, which would be a big mistake, that means next year we basically just have one “ace” in Grayson. Not gonna cut it
I respect the Bauer take, thanks for elaborating.
Tons of talent there, but any fan that has watched this organization turn itself around can tell clubhouse morale has been one of, if not the biggest factor.
Clubhouse moral doesn’t win ballgames. Talent does.
@@jackmundo4043 how’s that working out for New York.
@@dshock112 Extremely well. They’re in first.
Screw Flaherty!!!
OMG - you are quoting Scott Boris - the fucking antichrist to baseball!!
bringing bauer to baltimore would be a huge detriment to the culture. lifelong O’s fan but i couldn’t get with that
Bauer-Bauer-Bauer
Please please please
Don’t bring the drama or the mouth to this special clubhouse…Respect…
What are you basing those assumptions on? I've watched Trevor Bauer on his TH-cam channel for a couple years and he seems like a pretty hard working, level headed person. His teammates seem to genuinely like him too. I think maybe you drank the Kool-Aid and are regurgitating disproven lies about the guy.
“Ignorance is bliss” so I’m guessing you’re a pretty happy Dude…enjoy the baseball…respect…
