Putting a clip of Trevor saying he's been watching your sword videos was diabolical 😂😂👏🏽👏🏽
Hey ninja, piece of feedback here, the other day I was thinking “it would be great if he gave the outcome of the games” and in this video you did that. I really liked it!
Thanks! I think that was good feedback. I'm always trying to make stuff better.
He's been doing it for about a week actually. But I agree it's a great addition.
@@jimmyk4445 Admittedly I'm not super consistent in watching so I may have missed it but I thought it was a more recent addition. It's nice to have the whip around the league showcase each team's performance even though it is 'Pitching' ninja
@@TheSuperSawm yeah I agree with that also. Sometimes I'll miss a couple days and go back and watch em all back to back lol.
Think I mentioned this a year ago. 😂
I think Bauer likely confused the sword pitch call with the sword celebration move which is certainly all his bag.
Yes. THAT I would agree with.
No Trevor Bauer is a fraud and is extremely diabolical. Nothing innocent about his false claims.
Braves fan here, but Jeff Hoffman is one of the more underrated relief pitchers
Totally agree. A lot of folks don't know who he is...and they absolutely should.
His stuff was lights out last night.
Probably because he threw warmup for Bryces rehab and is on his path to being their closer.....unless they trade for Mason Miller!
@@carado1984 yup. A very positive thing that came from Bryce's injury.
MVP Baseball 2004 had sword references in it. The announcers would say "He looks like he's swinging a sword" on some strikeouts in that game.
Greatest baseball video game of alltime.
if the cubs had even an average bullpen we would be like 3-5 games over .500
The legend that is John Kruk lives in his own world.
I hope he refers to himself in 3rd person as “the Kruk” or something along those lines. It would make this better imo.
@@brandonlm0125 He does not, but i highly recommend listing to a Phillies home game so you get the majesty that is Kruk.
@@brandonlm0125 this makes me instantly think of Rickey Henderson
Happy Saturday Pitching Ninja nation hope y'all enjoy the weekend
BAUER POUTAGE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
I heard it from Trevor. But you might have been saying it prior idk.
You'll hear a lot from Trevor lol, some of it's true for sure :)
Bauer definitely made it way more popular.
To you maybe, but it was a household thing among most baseball people in 2019 at the latest.
Rob got proof with twitter clips from 2017, dont matter who "made it popular" its been a baseball thing for awhile lol
@@PitchingNinjaVideos I’m not trying to make an issue out of it, just giving my opinion… I like both of you and as a 40 yr old who played baseball until my 20s I’ve also seen the movie and I’m glad you both can take the scene and make it popular because it’s hilarious. I’m not the type that has to pick a side, I get along with everyone. Can’t we all just get along? 😂 I’m even going to sub to your channel, I thought I was subbed the entire time bc I always watch but apparently I never was.
I completely agree that Trevor is acting like a bit of a goblin about the whole thing, however in his defense id say its pretty apparent how communication has never been his strong suit, in spite of the testimonies that hes a great guy. I think his somewhat grating personality and faux confidence that he employs on the internet definitely misconstrued his point. Rob is absolutely responsible for introducing concept, however for a while it was more in the circle of baseball geeks; when Trevor says he “popularized it” i think he’s referring to the younger audience of players, kids and more casual fans are now quite familiar with it which I would have to say is definitely largely because of him.
Very reasonable response. To your second point, I don't have apathy towards Trevor. I was "accused" of helping "create" Trevor, which is untrue. He's an interesting character who's done a lot of good for pitching training etc. over the years. He just can't get out of his own way. And when he comes at me, I'm gonna show the truth. If you've watched my social media accounts over the years, you'd know I've been very complimentary of him as a pitcher. But, if you make stuff up about me, I'm always going to defend myself with the truth. Sitting back and letting someone tell lies about you is just not something I'm gonna do.
Why can't we be friends, why can't we be friends💯💯😂😂
has anyone else noticed that ninja has been saying the scores of the games more? is that a thing that he has to say for copyright claims or something like thar? i might just be the only one that noticed this tho. i think fuzzy had to do something like this too.
Nope. Doing it to be more fan friendly because I was asked to. Has nothing to do with copyright.
Trap King throwing 1738 is crazy
Really amazing!
finally mlb allows you to talk about trevor bauers lol
LOL (for the record, MLB has never one time stopped me from talking about him or even hinted at it.)
@PitchingNinjaVideos Then we must request your opinion on why the League has stayed Staunch on bringing him back to the league. Man was proven innocent and there is a counter suit.
@@eyespyyourspy1328 he's not gonna respond lol
@@eyespyyourspy1328Because he’s a monster. Life goes on. Fans have moved on. Fan boys can go see him in Mexico. He has no one to blame but himself.
@@jdsthird Interesting. Allegations that were proven to be false are what the league let him go for. But they must still be butt hurt over the sticky stuff whistle that was blown.
not a baseball fan im a basketball fan who also watch football and ufc but somehow every night after work im watching pitching ninja videos idk how u did it but good job
What happened to Jordan Hicks’ crazy velo? Was it a result of injury, adjustment for longevity as a starter, or just a move to increase control?
naturally when you are a reliever you can kick up the velo a ton, Hicks traded velo for movement to his Sinker and as a result its actually gotten nastier. He struggled with control against a very strong Yankee lineup yesterday, but definitely its an adjustment to being a starter
It's an adjustment. He could still throw that hard if he started closing again, at least I have no doubt of that.
Love the addition of giving the result of the games, really helps people like me who can’t watch all the games keep tabs on how the league is doing as a whole
The Nola front-door two-seamer and Houck backdoor slider are works of art.
About time this was cleared up.
Why does Trevor Bauer...
Your videos make my mornings or on my lunch break awesome! Keep up the great work!
Thank you.
Trevor just says stuff, Ninja. Can be fun to watch, but nails on a chalkboard to the ears.
Except when he's talking about pitching and analytics, then he becomes a whole different person and is great at explaining. It's just when he isn't he's, well him.
I think Kruk hardly even knows what RUclips is cut him a little slack we’ll get him there LMAO
Love ya ninja, but the Bauer hate not a good look. Don’t need to try to make him look bad, just keep doing your thing and being successful. Much love ❤
Ninja doesn't hate Bauer though. Bauer could have reached out to Ninja before saying what he said. The MLB is absolutely screwing over Bauer, but Ninja is in the right here!
It's not Bauer hate. It's defending myself against someone who was not telling the truth about me. I would hope that most folks would do the same thing. Blaming me for something that he started (basically he was claiming I'm somehow leaching off of something HE did) is not a good look. I've never spoken out against him other than when he just totally made stuff up about me. If he didn't didn't start it, I would never have gotten involved.
Exactly. If Bauer just said he was frustrated about his MLB situation and shouldn't have done all that, I never would've said anything. The MLB thing is totally separate and I don't have a dog in that fight. He's certainly more than good enough to be a very good MLB pitcher, but his desire for drama is what's keeping teams from picking him up IMO. This is a total unforced error by him..and it reinforces the fact he can't get out of his own way. It's frustrating for me, because I like watching him pitch. But, why obviously make something up that didn't happen? He could just clarify that he was happy that I got the chance to create the stat and he feels like his sword k strut helped expand the popularity...instead of making it look like I had no involvement and that claim that somehow I "worked" for him (which never ever happened, not even for a fraction of a second). He knows me and knows where to reach me. But he chose drama and I chose to defend myself against his untruths.
Bauer was the one hating and lying. Never accepts any responsibility. And he wonders why his life is wreck.
I don't know how much you would want to get into it, but I'd love a breakdown from your lawyer point of view of the whole Bauer situation. Who's right? Who's wrong? What's your third party perspective? I know Bauer has been doing well in other leagues and is looking for a league minimum contract and still can't get one.
I was at the Phillies game last night and I was really looking forward to seeing those nasty knucklecurves in your overlays against his fastball. It's remarkable how late those breaking balls fall off the table. Also got to see what the Cardinals dugout was chirping about all night, which was fun to boo at. But I'm *really* glad I caught this video for that fastball! Filth!
Is there any chance we could get an overlay of Cole Hamels' fastball and changeup? I never saw a pitcher as unhittable as he was in the 2008 postseason run. I'm not sure the footage was even lined up well enough for that kind of thing then, but I bet there's video later in his career. Apologies if you've done it before.
I can do that in the offseason, definitely.
@@PitchingNinjaVideos Thanks, man!
9:02 Lmao, Ninja watching the Fedde rpm ticker scroll by all year waiting for a 1738
Literally true!
I friggin love this channel.
2:40 yea I noticed Momentum(Bauer’s company) had a lot of partners during the pandemic. The PitchingNinja interviews had Momentum logo on them.
And? Conspiracy theories are truly tragic.
New-ish to following baseball.
I follow both your channels.
I really enjoy his analytical stuff going through his thought processes and game recaps, hadnt realised so much went into every single pitch.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it turned out hes on the spectrum somewhere, which might account for locker room issues a bit, he's intense & driven.
Shit choice in women though
Right. I've given him credit about a lot of stuff in pitching. And he deserves credit. But he has a huge personality issue that he can't seem to suppress. He's a VERY good pitcher. And has changed the game as far as pitching. Starting drama with me? Why would you do that? Makes no sense, other than that he's self-destructive.
@@PitchingNinjaVideos but you're continuing it. If you're above it just leave it at that. There's nothing to prove or disprove here. Why do you as a man care what another man thinks?
Because he lied about me working for him and discounted my role, tarnishing the awesomeness of having helped develop a MLB stat. I thought it was cool and he crapped on it with lies. Surely you can see that.
@@PitchingNinjaVideos I understand. It just comes across as a bit unnecessary. You know first hand what Trevor is like. He's got a uhhhh unique personality. Some love it, some hate it. Everyone feels strongly about it. He's definitely not going to let this slide 😂
@@PitchingNinjaVideos Also, great work on the channel. I watch it everyday on season. Just saying, you get a lot of attention for pitching breakdowns and interviews. No need to get drawn into conflict with Trevor. I don't see thay ending well for either of you.
Love you Ninja. Watch your videos everyday with my 5 year old son. Life ain't fair but the guy Bauer is the more popular guy and he will get credit with the people. Sort of how Apple wasn't the first to market with a lot of tech, but gets the rep as the pioneer.
I have no problem with that! The thing I had a problem with is Bauer making stuff up. 100% can't control what people think. But he can control his twitter fingers and his truth telling (It's also frustrating because I had no beef with him...but he decided to lie about things because he wanted to further his persecution complex). It's strange to watch a guy not be able to get out of his own way to get on teams' good side. He's talented enough to pitch in MLB obviously...but continues to be controversial and do/say things that's obviously wrong. Teams are right to wonder whether he's a loose cannon.
Trevor “Soulja Boy” Bauer got a ring to it, not a World Series one but a ring nonetheless 😂
Oh boy where do I start with Bryan woos hair
Trevor Bauer claims he popularized the "sword" in 2021? I had never seen bench warmers nor had I ever heard of the pitching ninja when I was watching a Yankee game back in 2017 with my brother and they mentioned the sword and the pitching ninja using the term. And that is when I started started checking out the pitching ninja and learned about benchwarmers and all that. I never liked is light Trevor Bauer Nor did I watch any of his videos or tweets or anything. I had no clue he claimed all of this until just now. Because of all this I know for a fact that he did not first popularize it because I started using the term back in 2017 because of You Guys. Bauer is desperately trying to keep himself relevant to MLB in ANY way he can. And it's especially sad because he's already completely faded away from baseball yet he refuses to accept it. It's over Trevor. Go quietly into that gentle night.
You finding out something because of one person does not mean that someone else didn’t popularize it amongst others
We should have a call between the 2 pitchers getting less than 3k's from the same game.
There's goot same pop culture reference about it
FIRST PITCH ⚾👍🏾😉
Woo references without a Blur Song 2 shout out? For shame.
He said 'popularized', which might be debatable but to me that was more Ninja. His weird celebration might helped bring the term beyond pitching fans and into the mainstream. Lying about Rob working for him and the tone of the post is disappointing.
100%. If he didn't crap on my involvement, I never would've begrudged his contributions. I've never had drama with Bauer. He dm'd me when he first did the sword celebration and told me he did it for me. He wanted me to see it. And then I get this drama out of the blue...when he knows for 100% certain that he's not telling the truth. I've even pointed him to his own DMs to me and his own words in videos. But he can't help himself.
@@PitchingNinjaVideos thanks for explaining, never expected this from him. I always thought that since is someone thats likely to get picked on, but at the same time very confrontational is what caused issues with teams/coaches or his 'feud' with Cole in college. A bit of a misunderstood genius that isnt great socially. Always thought a lot of issues could be avoided if he approached subjects and people just a tiny bit differently, kinda made me feel sorry for him. Here we see another side of him coming out, especially since its against a genuinely nice and understandable person like you. It's kinda shocking tbh.
It's shocking to me especially. I never try to be on the bad side of anyone, especially pitchers who I like watching pitch. Unfortunately, this reveals some of his character flaws, which I honestly wish would've remained hidden. He could've handled it 1000 different ways, but he chose the one that involved being untruthful and creating drama where none was needed. It's a symptom of a bigger problem with him---he loves to be hated and also has a casual relationship with the truth..
How does Michael wacha not ever get a fozzy bear waka waka after a dirty chase
I knew there was going to be a "Sword" Fight at some point. Thanks for the clarification on this one Ninja. I was actually curious who was the first one to use this term in baseball. I bet he makes a video about this in the near future. I watch both of your videos, so I knew it was only a matter of time before this was brought up.
Believe me, I don’t want any beef here. But him trying to pretend like he started it and trying to take credit from me is just a dumb move: 1. he’s verifiably telling falsehoods and 2. Starting unnecessary drama when he’s clearly wrong isn’t gonna help him get in anyone’s good graces. I’ve stayed out of his drama. But he seems to make drama at every turn, which again doesn’t help him at all.
@@PitchingNinjaVideos I hear ya Ninja. I've been doing some research on his situation because I've been rooting for him to get back in the MLB. There's no doubt he's talented and put the work in to overcome adversity to become a great pitcher. Unfortunately, like you were saying, it does seem that these similar drama situations seem to follow him around.
Thank you collective intelligence
I’m here for this Ninja/Bauer beef
mutually assured beef
Poutage ... quality
Bro he never takes full credit for creating it, he only said that he "popularized it"... which is 100% true.
You'd figure a lawyers word comprehension would be better but 🤷♂️
No. Read it again. He's discounting my role in it totally. When I started it and he got it from me (4 years later did his little sword dance).
@@PitchingNinjaVideos So what if he discounts your role in it. He never bluntly claims that HE created it. Sorry if it hurt your feelings. At the end of the day, the little MLB metric still gave you credit. No shade here ninja, love the content I really mean that, but this is just my take on it as a fan of yours and Bauer.
@PitchingNinjaVideos maybe turn into Pat Riley and start trademarking ™️ stuff you're going to get up in arms about others using? " popularized " isn't creating. Heck, it's probably in the library of bable 💩.
@RS-ig1mc Bauer said "he partnered with mlb and made a stat and gets the credit, but people are smarter and know where it actually STARTED"... he is legit saying ninja is getting the credit for Bauer starting it. Take a second and comprehend what you read.
I'm a fan of both you and Bauer. And I have no idea why Bauer is lying about this
I have no idea either. I get that he's upset that he's not in the league, but I had nothing to do with it. He just is taking a fun thing I did and making it all about himself. He's "A man of the people"...if the people is just him.
Trevor confirmed for me why I’m not a fan of his. The antics are beyond the pale and unnecessary. He brings so much of his troubles on himself and never takes responsibility. Plus he has an army of online bullies waiting to pounce.
@@PitchingNinjaVideos as a bauer fan he's always been like this, he's argumentative, brash and bad at communicating it's just a shame he lies too especially when he NEEDS credibility. I feel like they are great traits as a pitcher but not great as a person. Thanks for the content man!

He's fantastic. No broadcaster speak, just 100% all Kruk
@@PitchingNinjaVideos Closest the MLB will get to a Charles Barkley personality.
@@PitchingNinjaVideosAnd we will always have the memory of Randy Johnson making him crap is pants during an ASG.
Pitching Ninja is way more credible than Bauer. Thats a fact.
I wouldn't be too upset about Kruk. That guy is pretty terrible at his job lol.
FREEZING cold take
@@theb.a.r.strategy7254 did he win an award for broadcasting in the last 12 hours or something?
More like Trevor Sauer, amirite?!
Trevor stans, it's not that big a deal. Pitching Ninja popularized 'sword', basically everything Trevor said was incorrect in one way or another. He may be a great guy, he may be on the spectrum, his favorite color may be blue I have no freaking idea. But none of that is germane to this discussion.
I doubt someone like Trev could define a Sword by the definition or the calculus proof(okay, no calculus proof, unless there is one. Please let there be one.)
TBH, if anyone could, Trevor could. He's a smart engineering-minded dude. I'll never begrudge him that.
Do you really think that Trevor needs you for hype? That's just silly talk.
Bauer is not doing himself any favors the way he talks about himself and comparing himself to being better than other pitchers
You should check out his actual channel. He’s just passionate about baseball.
@@EvanSolomonBergerYeah, when he talks about baseball you can tell he really loves it.
Cook that FRAUD Rob! He’s trying to stay relevant and it ain’t working. We’ve moved on and we’re here for your content!

1738, ayye, im like hey whats up HELLO
Why does Aaron Nola feel underrated or is just me who feels he is 🤔
Strangely, he kinda is.
@@PitchingNinjaVideos quietly having a really great season bar his first start against Atlanta he has checked every box era, ip, whip, complete game shutout steady so rate but still with what ranger is doing (hope he ok) and wheeler being wheeler Nola just flys low but definitely not unnoticed. Glad it’s not just me 🥷🏼
@@J0hn042it's probably due to that insane 2018 and then it went back to solid seasons, which is a shame because Nola is a fantastic pitcher
I wonder who popularized the sword, a guy that gets 10k views per video or a guy that gets 500k views minimum per video
You may wanna sit this one out. Trevor used my Twitter following to build himself up for years, trying to get featured when he was a struggling pitcher (which is 100% fine, but he wasn't always the "Trevor Bauer" that you're worshipping right now). x.com/PitchingNinja/status/1013941635867136000
Are you insinuating that you’re more popular than Trevor Bauer? 😂
Again, sit this one out. You have no idea. There's a reason Trevor was DMing me about getting featured and constantly tagging my account (I was substantially more popular than him during the time period). Bauer and I have a long history...and mostly relatively friendly. You're getting involved in a discussion where you have absolutely no knowledge of the history.
Nothing you have said is relevant to the fact that on RUclips alone Trevor is 50x + more popular than you. I’m sure the little leaguers posting videos of them doing the sword after a strike out is because of you and not because they watch Trevor 🙄
Yes, on youtube he's more popular (I was late here). Go check Twitter/X where we both started. Especially historically where I was 50x more popular than him. Again, there's a reason he constantly was trying to get me to post about him...including dm'ing me when he did his first sword k strut and saying he did it "for me." There's a reason he said he had been watching PitchingNinja sword videos for ever...it's because he had been. There's a reason he wanted me to tweet his "sword of the week"...it's because his following as a fraction of mine (until he became Mr. Bad Boy). Here's Bauer trying to get me to feature him as "Sword of the Week" before he ever did any sword K strut (again, because I had a much bigger following): x.com/Watch_Momentum/status/1282751651884019719 Supporting a guy who clearly just makes stuff up is unfortunate, but you're gonna die on that hill I guess and facts are not gonna change your mind. That's fine too. It's a free country.
Can’t have Trevor Bauer without controversy
#freetrevor
You might have made the sword but Trevor made it famous and actually has somewhere to use it
It was popular in baseball long before he did his Sword K strut....MLB announcers were using it fairly regularly and pitchers like Yu Darvish were wearing my Sword T shirt. But I'm also ok if he wanted to say his sword K strut helped grow it. The issue is him minimizing my contributions out of nowhere. I didn't start this.
Trevor popularized the sword celebration but Ninja made the term popular, neither invented the term but it was 💯 ninja that blew it up.
I would also say its somewhat disappointing to see your apathy towards Trevor, he is a phenomenal athlete and has been through really unfair and traumatic stuff, with all of the allegations now proven to be malicious defamation, with the MLB too proud to admit its mistake. The guy clearly isn’t a people person and has definitely done himself no favors to refute the criticism, but given what he’s been through I think the guy deserves a bit more sympathy and support :/
Agree 100%
I told you this before you came up with the sword but Bower made it popular.
So you agree with ninja. He created it.
@@jimmyk4445That's what I said.
You both popularized the term. If Bauer just wanted partial credit cause his sword celebration went viral and his channel has helped with popularity I would understand but it really does come off like he wants most or all of the credit.
Exactly. This wouldn't have happened without that. I don't need any beef with Bauer. But if he tells lies about me, I'll tell the truth about him.
@@PitchingNinjaVideos As many times as Bauer has been wronged over the past few years... this isnt one of them. Probably struggling to get over mlb suspending and blackballing him and now not consulting him for something he helped popularize but he shouldn't have dragged you into it
Pitching ninja coming at Trev with the bars
I prefer ninja and Bauer on friendly terms. Trevor’s animosity is certainly justified, just aimed at the wrong person in this situation.
My biggest issue is I'm mot sure how I got in the middle of it. I certainly didn't start it, and if he wants to get back in baseball, it's better to show he's changed. This plays right into the narrative about him being a distraction/"me" guy. He should've not said anything. But he can't apparently.
It appears neither wants to be on friendly terms. I never looked who created it but I definitely never knew about it until Bauer started his celebration. I would bet 80-90% kids who do it after a strikeout they would credit Bauer. Nothing to get mad about from either party but I’m looking forward to seeing some little league pitchers making a 🗡️ in the World. series. Can’t we all just get along?? I personally think Bauer has a reason to be upset, he is losing prime years bc the MLB has blackballed him. Let the man in the league.
@@PitchingNinjaVideos agreed. It would be much better to have the ninja as an ally. That’s why it doesn’t make much sense to me.
I have to say the expression did originate with "Benchwarmers" in 2006. Don't chop at it, it's not a sword. So neither can take credit for inventing it, rather who made it more popular.
Literally no one was calling it a sword for 11 years after the movie came out. That should tell you something
@PitchingNinjaVideos A response for lil old me. I'm honored.
So it was inspired by benchwarmers
Poor Trevor. First, he's blackballed from baseball ... and now the Ninja takes his sword !!!! 🤣
I’d have to say Trevor Bauer is easily one of the smartest MLB pitcher to play the game, and he makes it extremely interesting to listen to his mindset during games and how he knows what to throw when to throw etc
FREE TREVOR BAUER
With the purchase of a Trevor Bauer at the regular price.
@@PitchingNinjaVideos ??
It's a joke. Like free pizza with the purchase of a pizza the regular price.
@@PitchingNinjaVideoslol! Boo, Ninja! Boo!!
I definitely deserve the boo for that one!
I like Bauer but Ninja is in the right here.
Thanks! I can respect what Bauer has done for pitching generally (he's helped revolutionize it) and also respect that he's an excellent pitcher. I know Trevor well. I wish he wasn't constantly his own worst enemy. And this is an unforced error by him....why make stuff up when I have more receipts than a CVS? I was one of the holdouts on criticizing him because I'm a lawyer and try not to judge anyone unless I have all the facts. Here, I have all of the facts and unfortunately he's now proven himself to be unworthy of being trusted by me to tell the truth. I don't take any joy in saying that. I don't like drama at all. If he apologized and said he was just frustrated with his situation, I'd understand. He knows how to reach me.
Can you debunk MLB claims against Trevor Bauer now that he has been exonerated and should be in the MLB again?
MLB isn't stopping him from being in baseball. Teams don't wanna sign him due to the drama that surrounds him wherever he goes. Then he proves their point by making stuff up about this. He lives for drama. That's the issue.
The same people who think Bauer was exonerated also think Ohtani was gambling. The same breed of dumb 💀
I agree that drama seems to follow the dude, but that implies that all teams care about a winning team and a healthy team dynamic. In reality I feel like a handful of teams are just a business to make money and that's where I don't understand no one signing the dude. He has fans in multiple countries and quite a following, for league minimum you would be bound to come out ahead fiscally just on merch sales and attendance. I think that's why some people feel he is being black balled by MLB. On a side note, I have only been watching your channel for about a month now and really enjoy your videos! Both you and Bauer do a great job of breaking down pitching, just in different ways. Hate to see my two favorite baseball channels in a social media battle...feels like my parents are fighting 🤣. (I do think he is wrong for trying to take full credit though)
@@PitchingNinjaVideosnot really the teams, solely the owners
You contradicted yourself and were just arguing semantics. He said it was started by bench warmers(didn't claim he started it) and then said that you worked for him(semantics, you admit you collaborated with momentum while your partner was working for them). This is petty.
Nope. He specifically said "but people are smarter than that and know where it actually started." [His words...to intentionally claim that he deserves all the credit.] You can read it yourself. x.com/BauerOutage/status/1791517745709736328 And there' are no semantics. He said I worked for him. I didn't. Momentum, edited my videos. It was a partnership .By saying I "worked for him," he's trying to claim that somehow he "owns" the term because it was done pursuant to an employment relationship (like a work for hire). That never happened. Momentum specifically wanted to partner with me to grow Momentum since I was their first major content creator collaboration (their words, not mine)...and I wanted to partner with Momentum to grow my channel. It's also intentionally condescending to claim that I worked for him (I mean, I could claim that he worked for me, since his company got paid part of my revenue to edit my videos). You're just reading into stuff what you want to see.
@@PitchingNinjaVideos I love your content and will continue to consume it, just confused why you're trying to beef with Trevor.
Keep up the great content
@@erick2186 That's what you're missing. Bauer started a beef, totally out of the blue, where there wasn't any. I was asked by folks to respond, and I did. So, now I'm the bad guy for responding and documenting things that obviously weren't true? That doesn't make any sense. I would hope that you and others would standup for yourself and not cower in a corner if a someone lied about you in public (no matter how popular or unpopular they are).
@@PitchingNinjaVideos Understandable, I honestly didn't see it as Trevor starting a beef, but I'm probably missing some context or a tweet I didn't see. All good brother, keep creating great content, I just get tired of people beefing online.
I just love both yours and momentums content, I always hate when channels I enjoy start going after each other and then it gets polarizing. I'm probably overreacting, hope you're doing great.
@@erick2186 yeah you’re missing the whole history of this. MLB contacted me about the sword stat, knowing I started it. After they launched it,
Bauer posted claiming he “started it” as a way to discredit both MLB and me, and absolutely lied about it. I know Bauer and have for years. He’s known me for years. He knows for a fact that I started it. Literally 4 years before he ever did his sword k strut. Again I have a much bigger presence on both Twitter and Instagram…substantially bigger than him when I came up with it. He basically was constantly trying to get me to feature him to grow his social media presence (think of where Bauer was pitching wise in 2017 vs now). There’s a reason Clevinger and Bauer were competing to be on my account, they wanted to grow their popularity back then: x.com/pitchingninja/status/1013941635867136000?s=46&t=12EZkusUU1Yoe4OYqasmgQ When he posted his claim on Twitter/X that he started the sword thing he was roundly ridiculed, because everyone knew I had (again, I have well over a half a million followers there…and that was where this all went down). If you’re mostly on RUclips you’d miss the context. He and I have never had drama up until this point. But his anger at MLB now involves lies about me…and I’m gonna make sure the record is correct. Momentum has some great folks. I’m a fan of most of them. Certainly this isn’t at all about momentum . It’s all about Bauer.
Trevor does seem to have an army of online bullies ready to pounce at a moments notice. Where does he find them? He’s irrelevant now.
At the same time you're all over YT doing the exact same thing but the polar opposite. Pot meet kettle.
@@andrewbennett2044 Whataboutisn at its finest. You have perfected the skill.
Bauer always trying to stay relevant 🤡
Bauer is the man. Stros need to pick him up.
And this is why Trevor Bauer remains unsigned
I’m a Bauer fan and I believe he is being blackballed. However, MLB was looking for a chance to blackball him because of his combative behavior against the league. The false allegations allowed MLB to hop on the chance to blackball him. Starting controversy with Pitching Ninja of all people shows he can’t help but be combative and a distraction. This is not a good PR move by Bauer if he wants to get back in the league.
Nailed it. All he has to do is prove he's a good dude and not a distraction. But he can't apparently. Like there was no drama between us at all. But "if you lie about me, I'll tell the truth about you."
@@PitchingNinjaVideosno need to concern troll. obvious you don't like him. no amount of PR can get Bauer back in the league.
I think You and Bauer both have an equal claim to sword. It wouldn't be where it is today without Bauer, and Bauer wouldn't have picked it up if not for you.
I'm ok with him saying he came up with the "sword k strut" or whatever. But it most certainly was a thing, long before Bauer did anything (unlike what he says). Dude begged me to be Sword of the Week etc. (back waaay before he had much of a social media presence). But again, if he said he deserved some credit for expanding it, that's fine. My issue is him claiming that I had virtually nothing to do with it...which is clearly untrue. And also complaining that I helped define the stat of something that I started. That's just Bauer Poutage.
@@PitchingNinjaVideos that is very true
Trevor doesn't strike me as the type of person to be down with someone telling him "no". Call it a random suspicion.
Actually he was cleared of that, the woman was setting him up, but think whatever you want
smoke another one cheeto
Bauer is getting SHAFTED by the MLB absolutely unjustly...being a dick to him is a pathetic move, Rob.
Nah, he was a dick to me, personally. So deal with it. He lied about me, so I'll tell the truth about him. Sorry, he deserves it. I stayed out of all of it until he did that.
God Bauer just fucking sucks in every way
Team Trevor for sure. 100% made the sword famous.
Trevor said he popularized the sword which isn’t even debatable in my mind.
If you watched the video, it's clear that it was "everywhere" because of my stuff (as both Trevor AND the broadcaster pointed out). But don't let your hero worship get in the way of facts.
but hes lying and taking full credit for it, he lied and said he invented it, which is far from the truth :) says a lot about his character dont ya think? :)
Read all of his replies. This isn't his only reply.
@LERDEDERDER idk i feel like describing a business partnership as "when he worked for me" as a way to belittle is a tad more childish than correctly pointing out that until 2020 pninja was the one using sword and popularized it on twitter and yt. This is also his damn comments he can act how he wants. He didnt call him a slur or anything lol
Let bauer work for minumum wage, he said he would take the minumum.
Bauer's been a douche forever
Bauer should be in the MLB. I think its wrong that hes being blacklisted
Is Bauer good enough to pitch in Major League Baseball? Yes, no one is disputing that. But professional baseball is a job, which we often forget. If you were an employer, would you want to hire someone who does nothing but talk about how awful your company is? You could be perfectly qualified, have the necessary experience, an immaculate resume, but if you give the interviewer the middle finger during your interview, they're not going to hire you
Fk yall. The sword is Bowers'.
