Thinking about Bauer while they construct the gallows for me.... I recall Mike Doc Marshall of the Dodgers.

He was a pitcher who had eccentric ideas about pitching. I remember reading about him in Sports Illustrated when I was a kid. He was a difficult guy and he suffered a lot of criticism.

You see Trevor Bauer throwing weighted balls backwards in his Vlog - yup Doc Marshall in the 80’s

His methods resulted in Cy Young awards for a student or two if I am not mistaken . credit spin rate to his ground breaking ideas.

He will be immortal in pitching history.

I believe Doc Marshall offers some insight into Trevor Bauer’s psyche.

Trouble is coming. Bauer & I can’t wait. Just make it tomorrow.
