I Faced My Own Team To Prepare For Playoffs

[@kty1245]

As a Japanese fan whose been following since March, I just want to appreciate you for coming to Japan, respecting our culture, playing an awesome season, and giving us tremendous vlogs. No matter where you go in 2024, Trevor Bauer will always be part of a legend in NPB, and will welcome you back anytime, anywhere. A lot of fans even want you as coach or General Manager eventually due to your passionate, scientific and logical approach. However, a lot of us also want to see you killing it in MLB. No matter what, Japan LOVES Trevor Bauer.

[@TERoss-jk9ny]

Many Americans do too! Trevor got railroaded big time. He screwed the league when he brought up the “sticky stuff”, and that gold digging chick destroyed his reputation. The league penalized him for BOTH of these things. I confess, however, when I heard he was into that kind of sex, (guilty until proven innocent, which is entirely wrong) I said some awful things about him. One I started watching his channel, however, I changed my mind rather quickly. I hope he comes back to the states, but should he choose to play in Japan, that’s ok with me. I’ll enjoy his performances wherever he goes.

[@Gumbocinno]

@@TERoss-jk9ny I'm convinced she's an agent of MLB that was sent in to destroy him after the sticky stuff and his antics. It's a god damn conspiracy.

[@Blake-n6d]

I think moving to Japan was the best decision he’s made.

[@TERoss-jk9ny]

@@Blake-n6d: I agree. He is maturing before our eyes.

[@PapaVanTwee5]

@@TERoss-jk9ny I don't know if he's into that kind of sex, but she acted like she was, at least, and like a dog on a chain, he followed her lead. I'm not into it, but if a woman started asking me to be rough, i would probably do it, too.

[@dereko5768]

My wife and I happened to be in Japan at the same time of the playoffs and what an atmosphere to be a part of! I watched you all season and it was amazing to see the evolution of your game and how you embraced a new league. It was too bad that you guys lost game two as we were looking forward to watching you at game three! Hopefully get to see you play in the MLB next year.

[@NootNoot.]

Whatever happens, happens. I hope whatever you decide to do in the future, you'll be happy with. While it wasn't an end we'd hope for, this year truly has to be one of the most unforgettable and unique seasons. I've learned a lot from your journey from Japan, and have genuinely learned a lot from and continue to be interested in their culture. I think most of us on the western side of the world have now much appreciated what it is like in the other side of the ocean. It sort of makes you open your eyes, and takes you out of the bubble we've all been living, from what you've shown us. You and Japan's culture, has really shown the love of Baseball, and honestly, as simple as it is, you've definitely accomplished that goal. For lack of a better term, is what language we all understand, when you have a love for such a sport. I'm sure we would all love to discuss where Trevor goes, but this experience is one that is amazing, and has brought fanbases together and share in enjoyment.

[@MusicLiberates]

Thank you Mr. Bauer for the fascinating videos from Japan this season. Your experiences with Japanese baseball and culture have been much appreciated by fans back in the US. Good luck with the next stage of your journey!

[@giorgiopatri]

I hope you'll stay in Japan because all of the interesting stuff you've shared to us. I understand the importance and the the heritage of the MLB and a possible desire to come back "home". Good luck for whereever you'll choose to go...Thanks from Italy Mr. Bauer.

[@danielzhang1916]

I feel like he might be thinking about staying, he seems torn about it, especially since MLB is hostile toward him

[@okolekahuna3862]

Wherever you go next season, I hope all the best for you.

[@kulalacchi]

Thank you so much for this season. You have made a wonderful contribution to BayStars. As a fan, I would like to thank you. I think your approach to the game was very helpful to the players. I will support you next season no matter where you go, but I sincerely hope that you will win the championship and the Sawamura Award with the BayStars. Please take care of your body and refresh yourself during the off-season. I would be happy to see your videos. I would like to know how you spend your off-season.

[@pollypocket2282]

I’m sorry you didn’t get a chance to pitch, but I have to say I LOVE the positivity and all around fun and respect in Japanese baseball. I know the truth is finally coming out Stateside, so I support whatever decision you make, but I will say seeing you play in Japan was a pleasure. You seemed so much more relaxed. Your fans are behind you whatever you decide!

[@Bbeaucha88]

This season's vlog has been some of the best baseball content I have had the privilege of watching. If Bauer ends up staying in Japan 2024 I think I am going to make a trip from Canada to go watch a game.

[@admiraldong3154]

Some of the best baseball content on KZbin. You're a lot of fun to watch

[@sjdcMD1]

Thanks Trev for brining us on your baseball career. This is actual content that is good for the youth and everyone. Thanks for everything Trev!

[@NappyGilmore]

Damn dude, I’m actually bummed your time in Japan is up! Loved the vids. You’re an absolute legend for sharing your season overseas with the world. Good luck with whatever you choose to do next season

[@tredogzs]

Legend!!! Turning a lose into a BIG win this season!!! Well Done!

[@jimmygregg22]

Glad you were able to get back on the mound after your injury, I have really enjoyed these videos over this whole season and wish you good fortune in your upcoming seasons. ⚔

[@bigceegracious5418]

Thank you for the inside look at the Japanese baseball league. This was cool watching you play there and seeing how it is done in Japan, also those uniforms were pretty cool.

[@xiaobiaoxu5984]

I sincerely hoped and thought this is a good experience for you. Japan is a fascinating country and you should consider to play there one more year (and hopefully win the playoff), even though I also hope to see you play again in the states.

[@DannyZee]

Thank you for all the videos throughout the season they were amazing, can't wait to see whats next for you brother!

[@kingspaniel]

Thanks for the vlogs! It adds so much to the season 🐐⚔⚾

[@さいとうゆーき]

first i wanna say big thank you Trevor! it was really fun to see you pitching in japan. unfortunately im not in japan right now so i couldn't watch your game. however, next year, i will be back to japan so... hope i can see you in japan,in yokohama. ありがとう！！

[@RY-ot4ek]

That guy behind the cage is Takashi Saito(斎藤隆) a former Dodger reliever who never posted above 3.00 ERA in his MLB career. What a connection.

[@arottie4097]

W0W! How many years was he play M.L.B.

[@joshuapatrick682]

Seeing a big city in the twilight where the glow of the city is just brighter than the ambient light is one of the most ethereal and awe inspiring things you could ever see.

[@Fzzt2]

I love how pumped up he gets. The competitive nature of Bauer is why he is so successful. Some people might see it as aggressive, but I just see it as his driving factor.

[@danielzhang1916]

I randomly found this channel, he never seemed aggressive at all, just really driven and passionate

[@therealbs2000]

What aggression? This is basic self talk on the mound

[@milliondollarart]

@@therealbs2000 Some people might see it

[@therealnynetynyne360]

People who see it as aggression clearly have never been good at anything competitive

[@MikeP_]

The voice-over for the BP was novel and really interesting. Great content, as always

[@timchalmers1700]

Thank you for your vlogs taking us through the season. Best wishes to you for the future.

[@wayneh.675]

Enjoyed watching your adventures this season. Best wishes in whatever your future holds.

[@vincentking2934]

Happy things are going well, from your rehab to clearing your name. STAY STRONG

[@Itsmescoots]

Trevor, I have loved watching these vlogs all season, as a guy not super into baseball. Your passion is evident, your drive is admirable. Whatever you do next, I will be here watching! (I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want you back in the MLB, but you seem very happy in Japan.)

[@koiturnbull5700]

Well, thank you for the full season of videos in the Nippon Baseball League. You have no idea, but as a Mets fan, I really needed good baseball content after the Trade Deadline moves my team made (But we have a heck of a team going forward that I’m really curious about with a new core of homegrown players). Your videos are funny, intelligent, and entertaining. I learned a LOT about pitching from you this season as I’m sure a lot of young guys coming up are going to implement your routine into theirs. You also introduced me to an inside view to Japanese baseball which I have admired for years but this was the first year I was able to see and learn about players whom I can see are just as good as the players here. Japanese LOVE their baseball and I can see why. The only thing I wanted to see was you verses Miyazaki who stands in the box with his whole back to you. #51 in your face!! I wanted to see that battle!! Your talkative and ready to give knowledge away like Dizzy Gillespie giving knowledge to musicians like it was water. It helped propell the music forward just as I am sure pitchers and batters are going to disect your advice and implement those ideas to push the game forward. On another note, Think about pitching in New York. Yes, it can be controversial but you’ve proven to me with these videos that you can take a question and the answers you have to give will help propell the game forward. I prefer the Mets because we need pitching and I think the environment is one you could use to your advantage teaching and helping shape the pitchers we need to develop but also work alongside an Ace like Kodai Senga who pitched for SoftBank the year prior. Think on it. You’d look good and pitch well in Orange and Blue!

[@nicholasvogt4659]

I appreciate everything you share. Thanks for being you TB!

[@steveserio2808]

I’d love to see you playing for the O’s next season!!!! Sucks to see your season end that way, but definitely a huge fan homie!!!

[@ethanconlon3398]

Congrats on a great season! We hope one of these MLB teams buy in to signing you. Good luck Trevor!

[@EmRomn]

Thank you for a great season, I really really enjoyed the vlogs, wherever you find yourself I hope you keep doing the vlogs and entertaining us. Good vibes only, and best wishes, CHEERS!

[@ippaku]

Well I’m sure you could make more money in the MLB and reach more people. I think the people in Japan really showed you love for baseball and appreciation for you playing for their town in their team and it was great to see you appreciate that all season long. Wherever you play next I think this season of your baseball with all respect to your skills and your wins I think this is one of my favorites that I’ve got to experience as a fan watching you pitch. Be well be you

[@briansevern3160]

Thank you for bringing us along for the ride! What a difference a year can make! Here’s to an even better year next year Bauer

[@pday10]

You could tell Bauer was emotional at the end there. You did a great job all year man, well done :)

[@gacknroll]

Great season, Trevor. I'm so happy that you came this year. Let's make the BayStars win next year.

[@sawyervaughan-13]

Trevor I just made my first start today for my first select team I’ve improved 20 mph in a year thanks for all your training videos I’ve been able to use

[@chuckwagon7354]

I'm guessing you'll stay in baseball, but whatever team you decide to play for I think it will be another season of learning off each other. I don't believe you gives less than the full beans and your efforts to recover from a bad injury proves that. Looking forward to following the next chapter of your journey.

[@daifeichu]

I sort of hope you play in Japan again but wherever you go I know you will do well. Thank you for sharing the season with us.

[@canttakeitanymore9350]

Thank you for letting us into your head and the thinking processes you have

[@NosmoKing001]

Great season. Thanks for all the fun and informative videos. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

[@cassidybb10]

Enjoyed following you and the team this season. Thanks for taking us along. Hopefully you can sign with an MLB team now.

[@fatmanchew909]

We all know you miss your cars but you seem so much more relaxed in Japan. Whatever you do in the future you have the fan's support. Just remember that the team that let you go couldn't figure out what to do about pitching and Karma answered.

[@kchall5]

Dude, I so wanted the Orioles to sign you this season, but you did well in Japan . 101-61 this season and loaded with young talent. You may be what they need to get over the top. Chalupa, make it happen 😉

[@enjoir]

Playoff format is dope but is short.. I hope you stay in Japan for another season or stay on with the baystars.. blue does look good on you.. good luck on your next adventure with baseball :D

[@imrbrt]

Funny thing. I learned about you through the momentum and sims yt channel. I like your analytic approach to the game. Seems like you have a ton of fun in Japan. Did you have the same level of enjoyment and content creation freedom in the MLB?

[@LetsGoDevils22]

Good job Trevor. You did an amazing job and I watched and then liked all your videos. You are truly amazing and an inspiration to me because I’m only 13. Y I miss you In the MLB even if that is going against my team you are truly still the best. Hope you make out somewhere so you can still make videos of you playing like an MVP pitcher who is better then every dang MLB pitcher this year. Please come back I need it but if not it’s ok. Just keep making videos of you playing and all that stuff

[@TigerSharkMLB]

Thank you for making these videos Trev. Even if this is the last one of the season, we're looking forward to what your boys are gonna do next year. Good off-season let's go

I hope you will continue your dream & success. Hopefully, you get to continue soon playing the game you love. Can't wait to see what is install in your future. Great to have you vlogging your baseball & daily things for us to enjoy. Tq.

[@beehappee2883]

Another great video! Thank you for sharing this experience with us! Sure hope to see you in MLB next season💕⚾️

[@Upstatepatriotny]

Love you Trevor!!!!! You been through so much ! Keep up great job !!!

[@mikewebsdale4777]

Great video series. Very engaging to watch you share part of your life on here. Thank you.

[@安藤辰巳-e7t]

It would be great fun for Bauer to play in Japan next year, but it would shorten his MLB career by one year. Considering Bauer's age right now, we want to see him get the best results at a time when he can perform at his best in MLB. I hope he comes to Japan again in the latter half of his baseball career and reports on youtube about the championships, individual titles, the lion's share of success that no one has ever seen like this year, and the joys of life in Japan. Anyway, make your choice now with no regrets and play somewhere else next season.

[@stevebartley628]

The vlogs have been fascinating. Well done !

[@ParaRob]

It's been sn honor having you take us along for the ride on your journey this year. Thank you for allowing us to see what your daily life in the NPB was like. Best wishes to you and I can't wait to see what you do next. In my opinion you are a top available free agent that absolutely any team would be lucky to have.

[@PapaVanTwee5]

You turned a guy who was not into baseball, into one very interested in your story. I was picked on in high school, and hearing you had gone through it to, peeked my interest. Going through it in the MLB must have been even harder. Come to find out if you are too smart for your own good, the US may not be where you want to be. The fact that Japan welcomed you with open arms told me that you may be in your baseball home. I hope you can be happy there, even if it means taking less money. Because if the MLB becomes accepting again and you come back just for the money, you probably won't be happy. Decisions... it's going to be a hard offseason for you, it seems. Thanks for an entertaining year, and I hope the next one is good as well.

[@Lionlover666]

Trevor we love you man. Keep up the goated fight

[@frantic9783]

[@andyjames]

Long time fan of yours since you were with Cleveland. I'm going to Japan in a couple weeks so naturally I loved every vlog of yours this season! I'm glad you were cleared of all of the charges against you. There's way too many haters in the MLB world. Please stay in Japan where everyone loves & truly appreciates your talent 🙏

[@netanelaronoff7763]

Great first season! Hope you sign with the Baystars for one more season. 🙏

[@carmen8788]

I hope Bauer-san stays in Japan next year. A huge number of Japanese baseball fans respect and love you, and we will continue to do so. NPB would never do what MLB did to you.

[@chadtellevik5479]

That was a cool experience. Thanks

[@thefirebird3574]

Trevor should stay in NPB till he puts his name on the baseball history book. There is a big chance waiting for him at his doorsteps. None of the Cy Young award winners won the Sawamura award, if he wins no one will accomplish it for a long long time. His name will be in the history book not for a bad reason. This is one of the things which people cannot buy with money.

[@romiarkan450]

With Yamamoto getting posted and Roki Sasaki starting to get hurt the Sawamura Award race next season might be wide open.

[@megapromo3771]

Trevor makes everyone better

[@todavidjensen]

You are the best thing for baseball. So many people now in the States can appreciate the passion and talent that the Japanese people play with. If you do come back to the States I hope the Phillies pick you up!

[@BUNKERJR53]

Great season Trevor. Although I would like to see you back in the United States playing MLB I personally feel that you have found a new home in Japan and you are enjoying playing there. I think you should stay. Do what your heart tells you to do. No one will blame you if you stay.

[@patrickgreen2361]

I’m really happy for you and your season. Please keep your head up, improving, and your goals will be achieved.

[@yackohoopy]

@Trevor Bauer, I would personally love to see you play for the Red Sox. Right now, they have a need for pitching and I think the 2020 Cy Young Award winner would be great, especially against Garrett Cole. I’ve been rooting for you to come back to baseball and I think that you’d be a great fit for the Sox.

[@peterbechard1900]

Thank you for a great season. I learned a whole lot watching you and have a found my way back to baseball.

[@jonathankelley2026]

I really hope Bauer stays in Japan, These weekly vlogs and the NPB in general have been way more fun to watch than any MLB game. But, if Bauer comes back he should sign w Detroit so I can root for him.

Hey man, I know MLB is the place to be but I hope you stay in Japan for another season or two.

[@rshowers7590]

Stay in Japan. You’ve always done your own thing and rewarding the people who essentially did you in, is not going to be healthy for you. These people brought you through a very low point and ought to be rewarded for it.

[@romiarkan450]

And personally I wouldn't want my season to end because the team get bounced out of the playoffs before I get to return from injury. That leaves too bitter a taste in my mouth to just leave it at that.
