Bless you Padre. Reading this I feel a tear of nostalgia welling up in my eye.
I believe you will find evidence of me fading Urias when he first got called up as an alleged “phenom” in 2016. I was present at the birth of Urias fading. I killed it back then. He was a nightmare as he dicked around refusing to throw strikes. More money has been made than lost in subsequent seasons.
Another over rated Dodger.
Years later he’s become competent and Dodgers bettors are less enchanted. It’s not as fun or profitable as it once was.
I stumbled on some Bauer training videos as I was preparing for this season. His father was a pitching coach, which I didn’t know. I remember Bauer gave a lesson to a college age woman in a YouTube video. She played baseball. I don’t know her story. It was a fascinating insight into Trevor Bauer though. A lot of guys can play but are too dumb to teach. Maybe they don’t even understand their success. Again, Bauer, the son of a pitching coach, has a huge baseball IQ.
There was the controversy with stick ‘um and he was winking at the cameras one game this year. Suddenly his spin rate jumped 400. He was taunting the Commissioner in a real game. The balls on this guy. He wants the game cleaned up. MLB pulled his balls and .... of course, silence.
I personally believe Bauer was the guy who first blew the whistle on Astros in a video where he said he was going out to play poker and showed a device under his shirt.
Bauer is god. He knows exactly what is going on and he’s smart as fuck. Very un-Dodger-like. There will come the day when he hurls a baseball over the center field fence in Chavez Ravine. The perennial playoff chokers are gonna piss him off.
We can talk about the 60 game exhibition season last year if you like. The only team that did not miss games because of Covid.
High IQ Dodgers. Short list. I have come around on Turner. I know. He should be running that organization. He’s fascinating. Not a great athlete and I’ve always wondered about him at 3rd but he’s wicked smaht.
