Wish more people in the states carried themselves with just half of the respect as the majority of the Japanese do. I noticed similar interaction in Japan as well in my trips. Great place.
Keep going, Trevor! You have a lot of fans cheering for you in Japan! Although it might be tough in a different environment, this experience will surely serve as nourishment for your baseball career!
Trevor, hey buddy I am in my 60's, a veteran and been where you are now (Japan). What I am seeing is that you're trying to hard to fit in and not having fun also pressing to win. Just be yourself a good person, a good man who/whom has been blessed and given an amazing gift to play a beautiful game. Be Blessed Enjoy
It’s awesome to watch a big-time sports player interact so generously with fans. Trevor’s a class act - no time or place is too awkward or not worth spending the time to scrawl an autograph or snap a selfie. I already liked TB, and seeing his interactions with the general public only reinforced my opinion. Stay true to your nature and thanks for the cool content, Trevor. Now you know you’ve at least 1 fan in the UK.
Very cool discussion on various sliders with Trevor's teammate and the reflection on the game, what worked, what didn't. Gives the viewer insight to the high-level chess game being played at that level. Baseball commentators provide very little of this type of insight. We need more game within the gam info. Helps the next generation coming up be successful. Break the mystery.
Simple. That’s great! To be thankful. People aren’t like that in America, always criticizing everything…. Never happy ⬆️ Sports world has become pretty unbearable.
Keep your head up Trevor. I just flew into Japan (near Yokohama) to visit my wife’s family. I told them how I enjoy your videos and how efficient you are on the mound. I hope you see you while I’m here and snag a pic with my favorite pitcher. You’ll bounce back brotha! Never doubt the sword 🗡️
Bauer, you seem a little homesick. Why don't you visit an environment that reminds you a little more of the US? For example, there is a US military base within walking distance of Yokohama Stadium (about 5km). Why don't you make an appointment and meet the children at the base? Or, Yokosuka, where the training facility is located, also has a large U.S. Navy base. If the cause of your stress is not homesickness, How about getting in touch with Japan's abundant nature? Near Yokohama there are beaches in Shonan and mountain lakes and hot springs in Hakone. You don't need a car to get there, just a Pasmo and a 30min- to 1hour train ride! You will be able to relax. If you like the Imperial Palace, you will also enjoy the Great Buddha in Kamakura and Odawara Castle. There are many places of interest in the Yokohama area (Kanagawa Prefecture) that can be reached by train!
I am very curious to hear your opinion about the differences between your experience with fans in Japan as opposed to American fans while you're walking around or going out to eat. The Japanese fans just seem so respectful and nice. Keep up the good work and please sign with the Cubs next season!
Didn't think I'd ever say Bauer would be one of my favorite pitchers. I appreciate how "real" you are, open about the bad days, etc. It's just gonna make watching you succeed be that much more fun. You got this 💪
Watched abroad in Japan for years. JR rail has a pass for foreigners. Go to the help desk at the station. It was like $180 for a month and you won't have to worry every time.

Hey I’ve been a fan of you for awhile! I just love your authenticity and transparency with your audience! I just want you to know that even on your down days your fans are still rooting for you! My dad was a huge fan of yours and actually showed me your videos! He sadly passed recently bc of pancreatic cancer, but just know your positivity and realness really impacts your audience. We truly want to see you do good and know you are an incredible player!
Regardless of whether you are going from NPB to MLB or vice versa, everyone goes through some adjustments before start hitting the stride. As a Japanese, I and many others have huge respect for you and know that you will be great in the end. And you are already a positive influence on the team and the community because of how you intimately interact with fans and also how you are willing to share your knowledge to the peers. Please keep up the great work.

May want to give Eric a call. He just pitched a 1-2-3 inning all strike outs I believe. 😂 Just busting balls. You know better than anyone baseball is a long season. Rock on Bauer 😎🤘
Progression isn't linear. Mistakes are imminent. This is just part of your career and still having the privilege to start for a game is already amazing. Keep doing what works for you while fixing the one's that holding you back. You're amazing Trevor, we're rooting for you to comeback better than before. GANBARE! がんばれ!!!
I am Japanese and enjoy watching both the Japanese and English versions of your RUclips videos. As a Japanese, I find the Japanese dubbing interesting and funny, and as an English learner, I learn a lot from listening to your English. And it is enjoyable to see you enjoying yourself in Japan, going to Bubbies, Eggs 'n' Things, the Imperial Palace, Mizuno's. By the way, have you been to Sarabeth's yet? There are two in Tokyo, one in Shinagawa and the other near Tokyo Station.
Takes a special person to win fans in both life and sport. My 10 year old loves your videos and has fell in love with the sport because of you and your personality. Just a game brother, the way you inspire the next generation is more valuable than anything you will achieve in baseball. Keep your head up, get back to work, and be you!
As an engineering student myself it's awesome to see Trevor explain the thought process on why he does what he does in regards to bullpen sessions and actual game reviews in a scientific manner in addition to asking informative questions about Kusano's slider issues. This type of thinking and analysis is taught to us by our professors but very rarely do any of us apply it to anything outside our studies so seeing Trevor employ these techniques to improve his overall understanding of how he pitches is very inspiring as it has gotten me to begin thinking analytically in regards to most aspects of my life. Good luck in Japan Trevor!
Trevor I know you’re struggling but seriously your content has helped me so much as a Junior PO in college that has definitely had my share of struggles. It’s so refreshing to see that you’re human, you make mistakes, you learn and I don’t know thank you for filming this. If you ever read this I’m sorry about what happened in the states but if you never left the states then maybe you never make this channel and then you don’t have the ability to impact so many people on a much closer connection
First off Trevor, I just really appreciate that you're sharing so much of your life,.........practices, bill pens, how you're feeling, walking around the city.c this might be a sad thing to say but this is the most of Japan I've ever seen in my life. I feel bad about that. I need to be more worldly. But the ln lastly, I played class A ball for 22 years. Never moved up from there but baseball was my life since I was 6. But I got hurt in 2010 and was out the rest of that season and all of the next season. So a year and a half. I tore my labryum. Not a fun injury. But I came back. I was in the best shape of my life. And I was 35. My cardio was better than ever and I was throwing hard. Came back and lost my first two games. Then got taken out of the third game in the second inning. Just getting lit up. Finally on the fourth game everything just clicked again and I was back in the groove. So it might take a bit. But you will get it. You're one of the best pitchers in the world. You've got this.
@@ryanolson2308 "Better than the states" is hyperbole but so is "Similar level to AAA". The truth is somewhere in between. There are tons of MLB quality players in the NPB who stay in Japan for many reasons. But the level is still overall lower than the MLB.
I think people are underestimating the huge culture shift effect as well. Moving to a different country that doesn’t speak English on top of not throwing in a professional game for 2 years, it’s going to take a while for results like he’s used too. Head up brother and keep chugging along😊
Yeah but good points. If your main mode of transportation is train and it fucks up your head everyday. It has a domino effect. If you can't walk in the store, down the street or check into a hotel and talk with the other people. That hurts too
I hope you appreciate how much the Japanese appreciate and admire your hard work and expertise as an athlete. Give every fan there a smile, a picture, and a signature and they will support you to no end.
@@burtmichaels2676 Yep, I get where you're coming from but I thought Bauer himself was really feeling the pressure. So, I didn't wanna mess with his regular gig or anything, but here's the thing: he shouldn't be throwing those high four-seamers in the NPB. His pitches have this amazing spin, but they're so predictable in their path. Lefty batters in the NPB can easily take advantage of that with a flatter swing. But hey, I still think he'll bounce back next month, so I'm not too worried.
Hey Trevor. There are some videos on RUclips said that the movement you pitch 4-seam and breaking ball are different. That’s why they could guess the pitch easily. Hope this can help! Good luck man! Wish can bump into you someday in Akihabara😂
Former professional pitcher from the Dodgers here... I felt I had my best stuff every 3rd start. Very seldom was I hitable or beatable with my best stuff, but when it happened it was difficult to overcome and prepare for next start. Big fan here, keep throwing it
Keep up with the vlogs, if over 30mins bettter!!! Also, is amazing how japaneses are respectful with u walking around, also how kind you are taking your time to understand what they r trying to say and take a photo with em!! Mad respect to u Bauer!
Thank you for the amazing content! NPB batters swings down, so less swing and misses on the higher pitches. I think cutters work well (especially inside) here. Suggest referencing Yamamoto’s (buffaloes) pitching. For places in Tokyo, if you are into special themed places, then Ninja restaurant in Akasaka is fun. Gompachi for izakaya food. Try Mt. Takao for an easy mountain hike, Kawagoe (Saitama prefecture) for traditional. Hope to catch you in my home Sendai during inter league!
I love that Mizuno flagship store in Tokyo. Was there on Saturday. Spent most of the time with my jaw on the ground with the beauty and quality of the Japanese made gloves. Saw your signature on the wall! Bummer, I missed you by 8 days. You gotta love that breaking in machine too! I bought an NPB official ball to compare to the MLB Rawlings ball. Be interested on your take. I pinged you a question on Twitter, so if you get a moment, maybe that could be covered in a future RUclips video. Thanks in advance; and hope your next start goes more according to plan!
I’ve been a Bauer fanboy since game 1 in Cleveland. Always respected the dedication and love for the game. I was even cheering during the throw over the center field wall. But the biggest thing I remember is always knowing that even after terrible game, he’d come back the next and blow my mind with an insane game. I wish I could Nippon League regularly to keep up. The RUclips videos will do for now! Keep it up!
I don't follow baseball much. I have been really interested in watching your approach to the game, preparation, analysis, and now the transition to Japanese baseball/culture. It's fascinating and I really like your content and self-analysis. Wishing you tons of success. I also think this video is insightful to the end result. Earlier in the video there was a section about your having trouble keeping the splitter down...and then it appeared that during the game, all your pitches were hanging and not below the zone....I'm sure you will make the adjustment to keep it down, and looking forward to watching that progression. Let's Fing Go!!
It’s amazing seeing how much he helps his team. Even when he may not be playing the best he is still contributing to team mates that make progress from his tips. Any and every team should have guys like this that can help everyone around them so that they can constantly pick each other up. Amazing stuff. I’m a big fan and just gained even more respect mr Bauer.
That ending had my laughing so hard! Great episode, remember what zig Ziglar always said, failure is an event not a person. You’ll bounce back next game!
Must be hard leaving family and friends, going to a country you don’t speak the language, the game over there is quite a bit different and most everything normal about your routine has changed. Going to take some time. We got your back
Looks like they've picked up on the differences in pitching motions that you apparently have for each of the different pitches. So they knew what was coming. I hope there's a quick fix for that. Wishing you the best, and looking forward to seeing you pitch again in Yokohama stadium
Keep Your Head Up Bauer. I'm in a Mental Spiral of my own. Interest with my Job is in the Pits, and Haven't been able to enjoy the stuff I usually do. But I'm always glad to see an Episode of the Japan Blog! If I had to Suggest Places to Experience in Japan... If you are into Arcades, I'd encourage to go to a Round 1 Arcade in Japan. The Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) Community in Japan is Absolutely Incredible, and You'll see some of the best players out there playing Level 15+ Songs on a Near-Daily Basis. I'm not sure how you'd fare on the Dance Floor, but it'd be a treat to see 'T.BAUER' or 'BAUEROUT' as a Dancer Name or Rival! Keep up the Fantastic Work on the Vlogs! Cheering you from Braves Country!
Happy for you brother its awesome to be in a place where u are appreciated and where thete seems to be more passionnate fans what a blessing! You didnt deserve being treated the way you have by MLB you are gonna settle in fine in Japan they all know what youre capable of wishing you all the best!!
Trevor dont be so hard on yourself brotha! I think what is needed is a bit of home. You should have the boys and chalupa come out to japan and being with you can uplift your spirits. Rooting for you botha been staying up late to watch the baystars lol keep on grinding!
No worries. Get the rust out! Your pals Verlander and Cole got destroyed in their last outing. BTW Japan is so damn clean and the fans so respectful. Nothing like the US. Much respect.
@@mx4159 I posted this before Verlander pitched today and before that he got rocked by Tampa bay for 6 runs and 3 HR's on 5/16. And Cole got rocked for 6 runs and 2 HR's on 5/7. Obviously you don't follow baseball.
@@robkoz2081 what you said is not a fact bro that's clearly an opinion and everyone has them. Difference is no one cares about your opinion that gets repeated by all the NPC's left and right.
Emperor's Palace is amazing. Also, if you miss good American food, there are few good restaurants near by (around Tokyo Station) like Wolfgang Puck and stuff.
You picked the two colors that I would have picked. I love Mizuno gloves. It's great to see how polite the fans are. Such interesting commentaries. I haven't been a baseball fan for such a long , long time but I find the insight into your games , the differences and nuances that you provide for the game, the cities, the team the culture are all so interesting.
I lived in Yokohama for 4 years and I highly recommend Minato Mirai and the Red Brick Warehouses. Really cool food places and going up on the tower you get a great view of the harbor
I often feel compelled to write to say thank you for letting us (the viewer), live vicariously through your lens and personal experience. I know you have experienced embarrassment and anguish over the last few years. However, your journey in Japan is far more enriching and educational than it would have ever been, had you just remained in the MLB. Stay the course. And always have Faith in your being. Your future will be even better than the present when you look back years from now.
Trevor, just wanted to say i have become a fan. It is an awesome thing to see a person become humble and grow. Obviously i am only seeing this through videos but keep up the good work and i will be binging the rest of your videos.
Don't give up Trevor!!! Everybody got bad days so don't let it bring you down. You're a Cy Young winner for goodness sake. And you'll win the Sawamura award too!!! We, the fans, BELIEVE IN YOU❤❤❤
You should go to Daikoku Parking Area for some amazing car culture, night on weekends are would be the best. JDM cal culture would be very interesting for to see.
I was there in the stands watching my first NPB game, also got lucky that I got the timings right on your pitching day. It was just unlucky they got your number that day. Almost had a rally on the 8th and 9th, but fell short. Still enjoyed seeing you do your long throws in the outfield and hearing your name being announced as the starting pitcher. Hope to see you pitch again when I return to Japan! Ganbatte Bauer-san!
never love to see you get shelled - but this was one of my favorite blogs I've seen over the years. Good content - baseball and not - and funny editing with the timestamps to game time. Good shit - Keep it up TB
After I had one of my worst games, I had one of my best games....every streak starts with a loss. It's great watching this through the eyes of baseball player.
The recommended sightseeing spots for you are Sensoji Temple and Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine. Both are ancient Japanese shrines and temples, and are one of Japan's leading tourist destinations popular with foreigners. . Sensoji Temple is located in Asakusa, Tokyo, and can be reached by Keikyu Railway. Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine is located in Kamakura and can be reached in 20 minutes from Yokohama by Yokosuka Line. Please enjoy Japan!
Tsurugaoka Hachimangu has a history of only 800 years. Okunitama Shrine in Chofu is Musashi Kuni Sosha Shrine, Samukawa Shrine in Samukawa Town is Sagami Kuni Ichinomiya and has a really long history. Both have inherited Shinto rituals from the Kofun period. In autumn, the autumn leaves of Ouyama Afuri Shrine are beautiful. Ouyama is also famous among foreigners, and the site of a ritual from the Jomon period has been excavated there on the summit of the mountain, which is an object of worship. The scenery is also the best among the shrines in the Sobu area, and during the Edo period, it was a sightseeing spot for the citizens of Edo, rivaling Mt. Fuji. Mitsumine Shrine in Saitama is also good if you want to go a little farther. It has existed since the age of Yamato Takeru, that is, the transition period from the Yayoi to the Kofun period. Rather than going to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu, it might be better to introduce Enoshima, which has a history of 1,300 years and was an imperial request place, and the scenery is better. Besides, Tsurugaoka Hachimangu has to go to visit the former Tsurugaoka Hachiman. 鶴岡八幡宮は800年しか歴史ないよ。 調布の大國魂神社が武蔵国総社、寒川町の寒川神社が相模国一之宮で本当に歴史が古い。両方とも古墳時代からの神事を現在も継承してる。 秋なら大山阿夫利神社の紅葉が綺麗です。大山は外国人にも有名だし、あそこは御神体である山の山頂で縄文時代からの祭祀跡が出土してるし。景観も相武地域の神社で１番良く江戸時代には富士山と双璧をなす江戸市民の観光地だった。 少し遠出するなら埼玉の三峯神社なんかも良い。ヤマトタケルの時代つまり弥生から古墳時代の転換期から存在してる。 鶴岡八幡宮行くよりも1300年の歴史が有り天皇家の勅願所だった江ノ島を紹介した方が景観も良いかもね。 それに鶴岡八幡宮は元鶴岡八幡も御参りにいかないといけないし。
Hang in there! We are rooting for you! I love watching your adventures around Japan. You may already know this but Japan is known for some of the best pizza in the world. Savoy (both locations) is my absolute fave and always top of my list when I visit. Seirinkan is also really good too!
Hang in there Trevor. Notice how there have been increase in haters commenting? That’s because they’re looking for the moments you fail, but notice how you rarely see haters like this. That means you’re always the GOAT, and you’re simply going through the occasional struggles we humans go through. Hang in there, true fans and baseball players know you’re the real deal. Keep being you, ignore the hate. Always love you and always will follow you wherever you go brother. -Dodger fan

This is just part of your career and still having the privilege to start for a game is already amazing. Keep doing what works for you while fixing the one's that holding you back. You're amazing Trevor, we're rooting for you to comeback better than before. GANBARE! がんばれ!!!
I think that a blank for 2 years influences it.
And the level of NPB is high.
I believe that you revive by all means.
I am Japanese and enjoy watching both the Japanese and English versions of your RUclips videos. As a Japanese, I find the Japanese dubbing interesting and funny, and as an English learner, I learn a lot from listening to your English.
And it is enjoyable to see you enjoying yourself in Japan, going to Bubbies, Eggs 'n' Things, the Imperial Palace, Mizuno's.
By the way, have you been to Sarabeth's yet? There are two in Tokyo, one in Shinagawa and the other near Tokyo Station.
Takes a special person to win fans in both life and sport. My 10 year old loves your videos and has fell in love with the sport because of you and your personality. Just a game brother, the way you inspire the next generation is more valuable than anything you will achieve in baseball. Keep your head up, get back to work, and be you!
Does he know about the beatings?
As an engineering student myself it's awesome to see Trevor explain the thought process on why he does what he does in regards to bullpen sessions and actual game reviews in a scientific manner in addition to asking informative questions about Kusano's slider issues. This type of thinking and analysis is taught to us by our professors but very rarely do any of us apply it to anything outside our studies so seeing Trevor employ these techniques to improve his overall understanding of how he pitches is very inspiring as it has gotten me to begin thinking analytically in regards to most aspects of my life. Good luck in Japan Trevor!
Why did you decide to go to a vampire cafe 😂
Keep it up, we are looking forward to your next start. Go Baystars!
Most down to earth professional and creator appreciate this insight…my Bauer towel and jersey finally got here
Trevor Bauer is good for baseball. You’ve reinvigorated my passion for the sport and for that I thank you!
Agreed 💯%
Trevor has taken the politics and business outta the game and made it fun again.
No he's not
@@jakej4805 why are you subscribed?
@@TS1964 🤡
Trevor I know you’re struggling but seriously your content has helped me so much as a Junior PO in college that has definitely had my share of struggles. It’s so refreshing to see that you’re human, you make mistakes, you learn and I don’t know thank you for filming this. If you ever read this I’m sorry about what happened in the states but if you never left the states then maybe you never make this channel and then you don’t have the ability to impact so many people on a much closer connection
First off Trevor, I just really appreciate that you're sharing so much of your life,.........practices, bill pens, how you're feeling, walking around the city.c this might be a sad thing to say but this is the most of Japan I've ever seen in my life. I feel bad about that. I need to be more worldly. But the ln lastly, I played class A ball for 22 years. Never moved up from there but baseball was my life since I was 6. But I got hurt in 2010 and was out the rest of that season and all of the next season. So a year and a half. I tore my labryum. Not a fun injury. But I came back. I was in the best shape of my life. And I was 35. My cardio was better than ever and I was throwing hard. Came back and lost my first two games. Then got taken out of the third game in the second inning. Just getting lit up. Finally on the fourth game everything just clicked again and I was back in the groove. So it might take a bit. But you will get it. You're one of the best pitchers in the world. You've got this.
my brother and i are planning a trip out to see you! keep it up
Hang in there and dont forget to have fun. We are behind you TB!!
Trevor will come back he always does
Bro got demoted in Japan
@@ethanplinsky they play better baseball in Japan than than the states
@@zacpalochick267 lol not even close dude. Japan is regarded is similar level to AAA baseball…. So you’re completely wrong
@@zacpalochick267 that might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard
@@ryanolson2308 "Better than the states" is hyperbole but so is "Similar level to AAA". The truth is somewhere in between. There are tons of MLB quality players in the NPB who stay in Japan for many reasons. But the level is still overall lower than the MLB.
Thank you for being so nice to everyone in Japan.
I think people are underestimating the huge culture shift effect as well. Moving to a different country that doesn’t speak English on top of not throwing in a professional game for 2 years, it’s going to take a while for results like he’s used too. Head up brother and keep chugging along😊
I imagine it's tough to be stressing about train tickets and be totally focused on winning and performance.
Japan is BASEBALL country. He will love it there.
Yeah but good points. If your main mode of transportation is train and it fucks up your head everyday. It has a domino effect. If you can't walk in the store, down the street or check into a hotel and talk with the other people. That hurts too
I hope you appreciate how much the Japanese appreciate and admire your hard work and expertise as an athlete. Give every fan there a smile, a picture, and a signature and they will support you to no end.
Trevor is the last guy you should be worried about after a bad game. He is the master of analysis and adjustment.
Trev being cool with the fans. Very nice!! Great guy!
Trevor, come sign in Toronto. City is fantastic and they can use your arm. You're a king bro. Cool to see you in Japan, don't let mlb drag you down!!!
We need more of your whimsical adventures in Japan. It'll help take your mind off. Don't let it get to you. You've got this!
Hate to say it but maybe he needs to shut the world out and focus only on ball. Idk, whatever it is he needs to do it
@@burtmichaels2676 Yep, I get where you're coming from but I thought Bauer himself was really feeling the pressure. So, I didn't wanna mess with his regular gig or anything, but here's the thing: he shouldn't be throwing those high four-seamers in the NPB. His pitches have this amazing spin, but they're so predictable in their path. Lefty batters in the NPB can easily take advantage of that with a flatter swing. But hey, I still think he'll bounce back next month, so I'm not too worried.
Hey Trevor. There are some videos on RUclips said that the movement you pitch 4-seam and breaking ball are different. That’s why they could guess the pitch easily. Hope this can help! Good luck man! Wish can bump into you someday in Akihabara😂
Theyre really respectful in Japan. I love it.
great content that you make a greeting and respect wherever you are
Hi, I am obsessed with your videos. I'm learning English with your videos. My dream is to meet and talk with you.
I like to see Trevor addressing the person he's talking to instead of talking to just the translator, glad to see him adjusting to living in Japan!
Idk why people hate you, you seem like a nice guy. Your vids are entertaining and you’re a great pitcher. I hope you come back to the states
Former professional pitcher from the Dodgers here... I felt I had my best stuff every 3rd start. Very seldom was I hitable or beatable with my best stuff, but when it happened it was difficult to overcome and prepare for next start. Big fan here, keep throwing it
You made it to the big leagues??
@@ayansayan8229 no dude makes fortnite videos and look at his profile picture 😂😂
@@jaidengomez265 lol, my son made those, but yes, I really pitched for the Dodgers
@@ayansayan8229 didn't make the show...., 4 years MiLB
@@jaidengomez265 don’t laugh. Baseball is incredibly hard to go pro. What have you accomplished?
It will get better. I’m a big Carp fan but like to see you succeed in that league.
Same here. Carp fan, but still hoping Trevor does ok.
Keep up with the vlogs, if over 30mins bettter!!! Also, is amazing how japaneses are respectful with u walking around, also how kind you are taking your time to understand what they r trying to say and take a photo with em!! Mad respect to u Bauer!
Loving the fan interactions on the streets.
Keep your head up trev
Thank you for the amazing content!
NPB batters swings down, so less swing and misses on the higher pitches. I think cutters work well (especially inside) here. Suggest referencing Yamamoto’s (buffaloes) pitching.
For places in Tokyo, if you are into special themed places, then Ninja restaurant in Akasaka is fun. Gompachi for izakaya food. Try Mt. Takao for an easy mountain hike, Kawagoe (Saitama prefecture) for traditional.
Hope to catch you in my home Sendai during inter league!
I love that Mizuno flagship store in Tokyo. Was there on Saturday. Spent most of the time with my jaw on the ground with the beauty and quality of the Japanese made gloves. Saw your signature on the wall! Bummer, I missed you by 8 days. You gotta love that breaking in machine too! I bought an NPB official ball to compare to the MLB Rawlings ball. Be interested on your take. I pinged you a question on Twitter, so if you get a moment, maybe that could be covered in a future RUclips video. Thanks in advance; and hope your next start goes more according to plan!
No matter if you have a good or bad day on the bump, you’ll always have a huge fan base and followers. It’s because your a good person.
I’ve been a Bauer fanboy since game 1 in Cleveland. Always respected the dedication and love for the game. I was even cheering during the throw over the center field wall. But the biggest thing I remember is always knowing that even after terrible game, he’d come back the next and blow my mind with an insane game. I wish I could Nippon League regularly to keep up. The RUclips videos will do for now! Keep it up!
I don't follow baseball much. I have been really interested in watching your approach to the game, preparation, analysis, and now the transition to Japanese baseball/culture. It's fascinating and I really like your content and self-analysis. Wishing you tons of success. I also think this video is insightful to the end result. Earlier in the video there was a section about your having trouble keeping the splitter down...and then it appeared that during the game, all your pitches were hanging and not below the zone....I'm sure you will make the adjustment to keep it down, and looking forward to watching that progression. Let's Fing Go!!
It’s amazing seeing how much he helps his team. Even when he may not be playing the best he is still contributing to team mates that make progress from his tips. Any and every team should have guys like this that can help everyone around them so that they can constantly pick each other up. Amazing stuff. I’m a big fan and just gained even more respect mr Bauer.
That ending had my laughing so hard! Great episode, remember what zig Ziglar always said, failure is an event not a person. You’ll bounce back next game!
Games like these happen, bounce back stronger. You got this!
Must be hard leaving family and friends, going to a country you don’t speak the language, the game over there is quite a bit different and most everything normal about your routine has changed. Going to take some time. We got your back
Looks like they've picked up on the differences in pitching motions that you apparently have for each of the different pitches. So they knew what was coming. I hope there's a quick fix for that. Wishing you the best, and looking forward to seeing you pitch again in Yokohama stadium
Keep Your Head Up Bauer.
I'm in a Mental Spiral of my own. Interest with my Job is in the Pits, and Haven't been able to enjoy the stuff I usually do.
But I'm always glad to see an Episode of the Japan Blog!
If I had to Suggest Places to Experience in Japan... If you are into Arcades, I'd encourage to go to a Round 1 Arcade in Japan.
The Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) Community in Japan is Absolutely Incredible, and You'll see some of the best players out there playing Level 15+ Songs on a Near-Daily Basis.
I'm not sure how you'd fare on the Dance Floor, but it'd be a treat to see 'T.BAUER' or 'BAUEROUT' as a Dancer Name or Rival!
Keep up the Fantastic Work on the Vlogs! Cheering you from Braves Country!
Happy for you brother its awesome to be in a place where u are appreciated and where thete seems to be more passionnate fans what a blessing! You didnt deserve being treated the way you have by MLB you are gonna settle in fine in Japan they all know what youre capable of wishing you all the best!!
Trevor dont be so hard on yourself brotha! I think what is needed is a bit of home. You should have the boys and chalupa come out to japan and being with you can uplift your spirits. Rooting for you botha been staying up late to watch the baystars lol keep on grinding!
No worries. Get the rust out! Your pals Verlander and Cole got destroyed in their last outing.
BTW Japan is so damn clean and the fans so respectful. Nothing like the US. Much respect.
You may want to try being respectful yourself?!
how many insults do feel is necessary to make a point when none are needed?
Cole did fine and Verlander pitched well today what are you talking about
@@mx4159 I posted this before Verlander pitched today and before that he got rocked by Tampa bay for 6 runs and 3 HR's on 5/16. And Cole got rocked for 6 runs and 2 HR's on 5/7. Obviously you don't follow baseball.
@@Gixsir if you think facts are insults maybe you should stay off the internet cause there are no safe spaces and crayons here.
@@robkoz2081 what you said is not a fact bro that's clearly an opinion and everyone has them. Difference is no one cares about your opinion that gets repeated by all the NPC's left and right.
Emperor's Palace is amazing. Also, if you miss good American food, there are few good restaurants near by (around Tokyo Station) like Wolfgang Puck and stuff.
You picked the two colors that I would have picked. I love Mizuno gloves. It's great to see how polite the fans are. Such interesting commentaries. I haven't been a baseball fan for such a long , long time but I find the insight into your games , the differences and nuances that you provide for the game, the cities, the team the culture are all so interesting.
Don’t ever give up. You got this.
I lived in Yokohama for 4 years and I highly recommend Minato Mirai and the Red Brick Warehouses. Really cool food places and going up on the tower you get a great view of the harbor
I often feel compelled to write to say thank you for letting us (the viewer), live vicariously through your lens and personal experience. I know you have experienced embarrassment and anguish over the last few years. However, your journey in Japan is far more enriching and educational than it would have ever been, had you just remained in the MLB. Stay the course. And always have Faith in your being. Your future will be even better than the present when you look back years from now.
We believe in you and miss you Trevor, keep pushing you’ve got this!!
Trevor, just wanted to say i have become a fan. It is an awesome thing to see a person become humble and grow. Obviously i am only seeing this through videos but keep up the good work and i will be binging the rest of your videos.
That ending was great! Love how you address and admit your faults but maintain the positive vibe!
Keep working Trev. There’s always gonna be growing pains. It’s such a huge change for you. Continue to settle in and keep moving forward!
Don't give up Trevor!!! Everybody got bad days so don't let it bring you down. You're a Cy Young winner for goodness sake. And you'll win the Sawamura award too!!! We, the fans, BELIEVE IN YOU❤❤❤
You should go to Daikoku Parking Area for some amazing car culture, night on weekends are would be the best. JDM cal culture would be very interesting for to see.
Glad you are going over the bad games too. The game is played different here, takes a bit to adapt. Keep at it! Go BayStars!
I was there in the stands watching my first NPB game, also got lucky that I got the timings right on your pitching day. It was just unlucky they got your number that day. Almost had a rally on the 8th and 9th, but fell short. Still enjoyed seeing you do your long throws in the outfield and hearing your name being announced as the starting pitcher. Hope to see you pitch again when I return to Japan! Ganbatte Bauer-san!
never love to see you get shelled - but this was one of my favorite blogs I've seen over the years. Good content - baseball and not - and funny editing with the timestamps to game time. Good shit - Keep it up TB
After I had one of my worst games, I had one of my best games....every streak starts with a loss.
It's great watching this through the eyes of baseball player.
Good on ya for not shying away from the low parts. When the high parts come again it'll be worth it. Keep going Trevor and thank you.
Your videos are on my to watch list. Really enjoy seeing your experience in Japan and seeing your critical approach to pitching.
The brain, heart and team fellowship on this guy is off the charts mega. 13:14 This entire sequence was golden gift to his stablemate.
keep them coming this is great content
The recommended sightseeing spots for you are Sensoji Temple and Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine. Both are ancient Japanese shrines and temples, and are one of Japan's leading tourist destinations popular with foreigners. . Sensoji Temple is located in Asakusa, Tokyo, and can be reached by Keikyu Railway. Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine is located in Kamakura and can be reached in 20 minutes from Yokohama by Yokosuka Line. Please enjoy Japan!
Tsurugaoka Hachimangu has a history of only 800 years.
Okunitama Shrine in Chofu is Musashi Kuni Sosha Shrine, Samukawa Shrine in Samukawa Town is Sagami Kuni Ichinomiya and has a really long history. Both have inherited Shinto rituals from the Kofun period.
In autumn, the autumn leaves of Ouyama Afuri Shrine are beautiful. Ouyama is also famous among foreigners, and the site of a ritual from the Jomon period has been excavated there on the summit of the mountain, which is an object of worship. The scenery is also the best among the shrines in the Sobu area, and during the Edo period, it was a sightseeing spot for the citizens of Edo, rivaling Mt. Fuji.
Mitsumine Shrine in Saitama is also good if you want to go a little farther. It has existed since the age of Yamato Takeru, that is, the transition period from the Yayoi to the Kofun period.
Rather than going to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu, it might be better to introduce Enoshima, which has a history of 1,300 years and was an imperial request place, and the scenery is better.
Besides, Tsurugaoka Hachimangu has to go to visit the former Tsurugaoka Hachiman.
鶴岡八幡宮は800年しか歴史ないよ。
調布の大國魂神社が武蔵国総社、寒川町の寒川神社が相模国一之宮で本当に歴史が古い。両方とも古墳時代からの神事を現在も継承してる。
秋なら大山阿夫利神社の紅葉が綺麗です。大山は外国人にも有名だし、あそこは御神体である山の山頂で縄文時代からの祭祀跡が出土してるし。景観も相武地域の神社で１番良く江戸時代には富士山と双璧をなす江戸市民の観光地だった。
少し遠出するなら埼玉の三峯神社なんかも良い。ヤマトタケルの時代つまり弥生から古墳時代の転換期から存在してる。
鶴岡八幡宮行くよりも1300年の歴史が有り天皇家の勅願所だった江ノ島を紹介した方が景観も良いかもね。
それに鶴岡八幡宮は元鶴岡八幡も御参りにいかないといけないし。
@@yoshikurakino 歴史で言えば仰るとおりですが観光地として案内するなら間違っていないと思います。

Wow, Japan REALLY loves baseball. Thanks for the honesty and the inside looks!
You've got this mate, bounce back, come back stronger. It's a phase, you know you are good, just go for it and kill it ❤
Hang in there! We are rooting for you! I love watching your adventures around Japan. You may already know this but Japan is known for some of the best pizza in the world. Savoy (both locations) is my absolute fave and always top of my list when I visit. Seirinkan is also really good too!
Hang in there Trevor. Notice how there have been increase in haters commenting? That’s because they’re looking for the moments you fail, but notice how you rarely see haters like this.
That means you’re always the GOAT, and you’re simply going through the occasional struggles we humans go through.
Hang in there, true fans and baseball players know you’re the real deal. Keep being you, ignore the hate.
Always love you and always will follow you wherever you go brother.
