- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ม.ค. 2025
- This week we span many eras of baseball as we're joined by Former MLB CF Kenny Lofton and the young guns of MLB, Angels CF Jo Adell and Reds P Hunter Greene. The group talks about the difference in the game between now and when Kenny was a rookie in the early 90's. Kenny tells stories from his days in The Show including facing Pedro Martinez and locker room stories about Albert Belle. Jo Adell and Hunter Greene talk about social media and toeing the line when it comes to tweeting their opinions. That and more on this week's episode!
All episodes were filmed in February prior to COVID-19 protocols being put in place.

Just here to say that Kenny falling off the HOF ballot after one year is one of the greatest HOF travesties ever.
I know right? Ichiro is a shoo-in for the hall, but they have very similar numbers
Ichiro .311/.355/.402, 107 OPS+, 59.7 career bWAR
Lofton: .299/.372/.423, 107 OPS+, 68.4 career bWAR.
Had Lofton played a few more years, he probably would have had 3000+ hits as well.
It really is. I personally think Kenny is a HOFer. If you're a small hall guy I get leaving Kenny out but he had a much better Career than a lot of other borderline guys that got in.
@@ethanricci8741 And as a smaller guy it matters that he excelled in the steroid era, where the "big boys" were getting so much more attention. He also played on better teams where Ichiro was the de facto face of a franchise for a decade.
Perception is reality sad to say...
It really is! 68 WAR puts him ahead of soooo many HOFers
Fred McGriff is another tragedy put the man in
This was the kenny lofton show and I dont have one problem with it
Three young players all more than happy to learn from one of the greats. Super cool to see Trevor doing so much awesome stuff this year
I want a part 2
Kenny Lofton was a great guest, he’s got some good stories. I’d love to hear from from retired players.
Low key wish these were 45 min - an hour. There’s no other baseball content like this rn, great stuff as always.
60 would be even better lol
Why would you "low key" wish that? You people sound like clowns using that word. No reason to be "lowkey" about it. Be loud. Make it known. Otherwise no one ever knows we want longer vids and they'll never get made that way. Be vocal about it. You ain't the only one. Some of like long format content.
But no one will ever know that if you're scared to say so and instead use lowkey to wrongly describe it.
Yes, The Trevor Bauer Power Hour
Kenny’s knowledge of the game and his stories are so interesting. I would definitely watch a 10 hour Bauer Bytes of just him talking about the game
We need a couple of hours of Kenny.
I second that. He’s has some very interesting insight
He was always my favorite player growing up in Cleveland
Dude lofton is woke
Great stuff. I could have easily listened to him talk for a couple more hours.
Great stuff. I could have easily listened to him talk for a couple more hours.
Pretty sure Hunter is the child of Tiger Woods and Russell Wilson
Definitely see Tiger lol
So excited to see from Jo Adell as an angel fan I am extremely excited to see what he brings to our team!!!
I hope he’s not a bust. 🤞
This episode is AMAZING! Kenny Lofton added so much! Love mixing older players with current players. Would love to see the ‘95 @Indians on Bauer Bytes @Momentum.
Bau Bytes
You can’t have the whole team on because of COVID
Jo “Right?” Adell
Beat me to it 😂
Right?
Nah it’s Jo “You know” Adell 😂
I met him bro he’s a genuine person he’s great and super nice he gave me a bat and he also does say “ right” a lot irl
One of the best moments in my life was seeing Kenny at Northfield Park back in 2018. I went to the meet & greet with my Dad for his birthday. Dad even asked Kenny "what 'Manny being Manny' meant?" Can't give enough props to Kenny. He was my hero growing up and made one of the last birthdays with my Dad beyond special.
p.s. post show: It was better than good enough, Kenny! :)
"Don't even need a trash can for that."
Love it Jo 😂🤣
Ask Kenny if he has heard the song JCole made about him!
Which song!?!?
@@simmonsreviewandreact3891 uhhhhmmm...
Kenny Lofton....
I’m bout to listen to that again lol
@Jeff Russell Well you could say that Lofton was footloose with all those steals
@@toddtitschinger4880 in o me
Kenny Lofton is a Bad Man.
I love watching Lofton play.
He could hit it , go get it & steal it too.
Arm wasn’t the best but the rest was HOF level for about a decade.
You know Trevor was bummed on Kenny when he down played the sign stealing 😂
I think Trevor's heard enough opinions that differ with his own to be able to cope
gwaptiva he is a grown man so I’d hope so
@@gwaptiva The sudden change of topic didn't look good though.
MalakianM2S it was probably edited and got awkward. There is no way they’re eating a 3 course meal in 35 minutes. I also think that Kenny is full of it though. Kenny said that he would study pitchers tendencies (Pedro being nasty outside) so if you can study pitchers tendencies as far as location on top of knowing the pitch that’s coming that’s a huge advantage. Hitters today have all the film in the world, Kenny’s view is from when film was limited and filmed with a dinosaur of a set up.
@@Vt2CT 15:23, you may be right, kenny's voice ends abruptly, it may be edited; it's an unlucky cut anyways. His point of view on the peds is spot on, imho, I never underestood why Bauer & Co. think the peds are way below the trash can in "importance".
Jo got the NBA 2k15 mycareer voice😂😂😂
This has to be the best episode i've seen of Momentum. The whole dynamic is so damn great. The fun talk, the professional talk, Kenny teaching the young, helping elevate Trevor, man, do YT channels get emmys or some kind of awards? As a baseball fan, this is what i was waiting for , MLB's future looks a little bit brighter. Keep up the got work Trevor!!!
To watch the younger generation of baseball just sit and listen to the knowledge of a legend. Soaking it in processing and applying it to their game now. Great video
I love Kenny's wisdom and the mixing of generations here. A fantastic discussion. Make Kenny a regular guest.
Kenny Lofton’s got the momentum
THESE EPISODES NEED TO BE LONGER. such good content
This is so great to watch and listen...a real MLB players talk about practic and MLB issue things....wow!! Thanks Bauer!! from Japan
Kenny Lofton without a doubt is someone you can trust to be honest with you.A huge commodity in a mentor ,coach, advice giver. What a great segment
I came to the comments to see love for Kenny...was not disappointed. Much deserved for him.
I love listening to Kenny Lofton!
This is my favorite one so far.
Bauer Bytes are my favorite to hear and see other players. Lofton should do a vlog, he is great to listen to. What a mentor and father figure.
Thanks for posting this, Kenny was my favorite player when I was growing up as an Indians fan. Loved hearing him talk to you and Jo and Hunter.
You should have about 6 segments with Kenny Lofton. I could listen to him all day.
Might be my favorite episode so far!
this is by my favorite Bauer Bytes so far
I love all these and this concept as a whole, but damn I could listen to Kenny for hours.
Kenny Lofton is a legend. Such a great conversation
Best one yet! Keep 'em coming!
Kenny should be in the HoF
fax one of the best base stealers
Kenny is the man. The dude is clearly a HOFer. An absolute embarrassment to not induct him. I love his passion. Thanks for this interview!
Best one yet. More Kenny Lofton!
So awesome! Thank you for these
Kenny Lofton! My favorite player growing up. I'll never forget when he was injured playing for the Braves vs the Phillies before this game started and he signed autographs literally all the way from near home plate down to the dugout. He must have signed 300-500 autographs that day. He even took a couple minutes and talked to my dad while signing and it stuck with me.
pretty swaggy you scooped up Kenny Lofton for Bauer Bytes. Keep em coming. His take on the Astros scandal was actually a little refreshing
God I love Trevor! Thank you for making baseball fun again. Can't believe I'm watching my first season since Griffey retired. Give em hell, in 2021, Trev!
When I was a kid, in 1995, I went to see the Blue Jays vs the Cleveland Indians at the Sky Dome in Toronto. After the game a guy who worked there told us to wait by a specific gate to get autographs from the Indians. We waited with about 10 other people and some players came out. I got an auto from Jim Thome and then Kenny Lofton came out. I handed him my piece of paper from my mom's purse and a pen and asked for an autograph. Just as he took it someone called to him. He turned to them and handed me back the paper and pen without signing. I was closer than he thought and he pushed me. I stumbled back into a taxi and fell on my back on the ground. My mom looked at me laughing and I dont know why but I said "Why Kenny! Why?!" and my mom lost it laughing so hard. I doubt he remembers this but I do and I think about it when I think about baseball and spending time with my mom.
EDIT: This is a good memory. I was a fat kid with poor balance. Not Kenny's fault at all.
Good to see lofton around again. Nice work Bauer
Bauer outdoes himself again.What a great special. I had only planned to listen to the first few minutes and finish it tomorrow morning. But I ended up listening to the whole thing.
Great to see the new school and the old school ways of thinking collide on the social media discussion. We need more of this. ESPN or Fox Sports should pick it up and put it on TV.
That was a great episode
We need a 24-hour Kenny Lofton network. He has a million stories and I want to hear them all.
Kenny has some serious wisdom and great advice on social media! Loved this episode.
I need the extended version of this episode now! More Kenny!
Love Trevs story he shares. It’s great that he lets people know that they aren’t the only one that had to go through pain and stress in his teen years.
Oh man this content is far more entertaining than watching an actual game.
Great Video Trevor. Miss watching Kenny Lofton!
Loved him in the one year in 06 when he was with the dodgers. Great mentor to both eithier and kemp. That 06 team was underrated
You gotta get Pete Rose to the table. He’s one of the most entertaining guys to ever talk about baseball.
This Is amazing. Love these episodes
I could listen Kenny talk all day
Jeez, Kenny Lofton is 53?!? I am two years younger and look twice as old! New man crush!
This is my favorite one so far
The only problem with this conversation is that it ended too soon! Great listen.
Am I the only one that thinks Kenny is making sense when he thinks that knowing what pitch is coming is a slight advantage cuz literally someone could tell you it’s a slider and you don’t know if it’s gonna be low and away low and in.But compared to knowing where that pitch is,it’s easier to adjust when you know where the pitch
Hearing him talk about it completely changed the way I’m thinking about it. He completely agree with what he was saying
I didn’t think of it that way but he’s right
The one thing he is missing though, is how the Astros were just able to spit on the soft stuff all the time and never chase pitches in the dirt. No swings and misses which resulted in them mashing fastballa
Saranjeet Sodhi he also literally said that he would study locations of pitchers where they were strong, does he not think the astros also studied location strengths on top of knowing what pitch was coming?
Saranjeet Sodhi also on top of that, he also commented on analytics and how the game now is driven by it. Did he think about the fact that pitchers know your weakness as a hitter? Say a pitcher knows your weak inside on a fastball, you then get the signal that a fastball is coming, you think the pitcher isn’t going to attack that zone?
Trevor is doing a great thing by putting this content out there promoting the game and providing insights.
He is a great kid who thinks outside the box.
Kenny Lofton IS a holl of gamer to me. I got to see him play at Camden yards when he was an Indian. I’m a diehard orioles fan, and I still love Kenny. Trevor, you need more retired players on this show. Such an amazing show man. I’ll never miss a single one of these.
Awesome episode. Would love to see you feature some of the HOF's that are getting old (Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Rod Carew etc) while you still have the chance. You could connect this generation of players/fans with the past and help keep history alive.
As an Astros fan I definitely like this episode 🤣
Love the way Kenny kind of questioned Bauer in this (with good intent). When he talks it's always substantive, love it
Uncle Kenny needs a weekly show....
Best one yet!
you guys should’ve had a Joe Adell “right” counter 😂😂
Odin Son right!
My man Kenny! Good ole NW Indiana man!
Great Albert Belle story
Jo adell taking a shot at the Astros 😂 👀 9:05
This episode is NASTY Trev, love it!
Best ep yet.
It is so awesome and refreshing to see a MLB vet spit game like this. He was really trying to teach these guys instead of bashing the new era
⬇️Amount of times Jo said “right”
Dropping some knowledge!! Great episode
I had no idea Kenny was seeing that stuff when he batted. That's part of what made him such a threat at the leadoff position 🙏❤️⚾
I absolutely love these 😭🤙🏾
Lofton was my favorite player growing up. Loved the way he played the game. He actually made bunting exciting. Not to mention all the homers he robbed in center.
It's great to see an older-school guy with differing opinions from Bauer's, with each party laying it out respectfully yet neither giving any ground
Great job guys. Baseball needs to promote the players. Fans want to see the personalities of their favorite players. Show the fans another side of the players. Great job Trevor.
Rooting hard for Hunter Greene -Big talent inside of a caring individual who ‘gets it’....
Kenny Lofton is such a legend
Kenny Lofton is my favorite player from the 90s
Vizquel is mine
I’ve met hunter great dude. I’ve seen him at the movie theaters with his family.
Bauer bytes rules 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
Just started watching all your stuff on YT and remind me alot of Pat McAfee and what he's got going keep working and keep building your fanbase
We need more Kenny lofton!
Release the full conversation. Any chance Kenny wants to be a hitting coach for Cleveland? Asking for a franchise
Kenny and Sandy both back in Tribe uniforms?! My nostalgia couldn't handle it!
more 90's Kenny stories please
Probably one of the most interesting ones so far
I said I would only watch for 10 minutes before bed, now I’m only my 4th episode 😂
As a diehard reds fan in liking what Hunter is saying. Stay healthy and come help us win man!
I’ve looked forward to this episode for a while
I can’t wait for Hunter to make it to the bigs and bring the excitement back to the city. He’s right we really need it
Holy fuck this is top top shelf baseball content.
these are the best fr
Love these my dude
Dude. #7 is my favorite. Him scaling the wall is my 2nd favorite catch all time. Bo Jackson is #1.
Wise man, Kenny Loftis. Good one Trevor, thanks
Kenny is so great
