    You should have added what Yu Darvish commented on Bauer playing in Japan. A rough translation is like "he is a person who can explain pitching in a clear and understandable manner based on the latest research and findings, and I believe the baseball in Japan needs such individuals". To be fair, the people in Japan were more skeptical about Bauer coming to play at first, but after seeing his character, performance, approach, etc through the games and his media, they love him for what he brought to the NPB.

      Former Red Sox Koji Uehara also said he really likes Bauer's playing style and personality as an athlete, and his teammate Imanaga, who started the game against US in the WBC and will probably be posted to the MLB for the next season, spoke really highly about Bauer as well. I think Japan fits better for him.

      ​@breadandcircuses8127 To fill you in, Yokohama Baystars at that time, was chasing down Hanshin Tigers who were in 1st place with about a game or so ahead.
      Lots of fans in Japan felt like he knocked some fighting mentality that Yokohama has been missing for a long time when he was yelling his teammates to wake up.
      Top of the rotation guy from MLB screaming at them shows how he knows that they could do better on the field, and gave some hope to the fans that this year they might finally wake up and go grab that championship..... which hasn't been exactly the case, but yeah a little context for you lol

    No matter which team you are a fan of, more than once or twice Japanese people have been hurt by players who came to NPB from MLB. There were players who did not come to Japan despite being paid large contracts. There were players who looked down on Japanese baseball and played atrocious baseball. There were many players who were welcomed with open arms but left in the middle of the season. We were hurt each time. That is why I think that seeing a Cy Young Award-winning pitcher like Trevor respecting Japanese baseball and pitching hard for the Japanese baseball team helps heal the broken hearts of Japanese people. I think that is why even fans of teams other than the BayStars have special feelings for Trevor.

      In the NPB, a developmental player is a player who is not on the roster of the first team and cannot play in official games. In high school, he never caught the attention of scouts. A sports store owner who knew a lot about baseball contacted a scout he knew at Softbank, saying he had found a gem, and hired Senga as a developmental player without much expectation. If the sports store owner had not noticed his talent, he might have led a completely different life.

    I'm Japanese and didn't know about Bauer until he came to Japan. It was only after he came that I learned about him and what happened to him in America. To be honest, he seems like a different person in Japan than he is in America. When Bauer is in Japan, his expression is very soft.
    When he came to Japan, he said, People here listen to me.
    Like everyone else, people change themselves depending on the attitude of the person they interact with. People are mirrors that reflect themselves.
    I see him as very honest. And he is also a very sincere person. I like his clumsy way of life and I understand it.
    I want him to play in Japan forever, but I think he should go back to MLB to play at a higher level, and I want to support him. At that time, I would like American baseball fans to welcome him warmly. I sincerely hope so. (I used Google translation. Sorry if it's hard to understand.)

    He started poorly with Yokohama and got blasted in his first few starts which earned himself a lot of poor media coverage. However he is 7-2 with a 3.67 era now halfway through the season. I am not a Baystars fan nor really a Bauer fanboy but I can say that he has done pretty well for himself so far.
    Contrary to what the media has said, he seems to be liked in the team and his teammates do his celebration sometimes. They even got him gloves with the sword on it so unlikely that are bothered or think its racist.

It take some time to adjust to that sort of thing and he seems to making major progress so far towards being comfortable and effective. Hes not instantly the best pitcher Japan has ever seen, but hes doing fine as far as i can tell.

    I was watching the game which Bauer was angry, but the mistakes of those infield players were terrible. The commentator also said that it was not a professional play. It's natural for anyone to get angry, even if it's not Bauer.
    In addition, the Yokohama BayStars have not won a championship in over 20 years, as both players and coaches lack the enthusiasm to win. Fans have longed for a player with a fighting spirit like Bauer. He is the savior who leads the gentle team to victory.

    The sword issue wasn't even that bad. His teammate told him that he was doing it on the wrong side so his teammate showed him which side is correct and now Bauer does it on the correct side. In his videos that he posted everyone on his team is now doing the sword. He went down to the minors for a week because the majors did not have a game so he wanted to pitch so in Japan you can move down in the minors for a week to play if you are not playing that week in the majors. With him yelling and telling the players to wake up. This guy is competitive, if you played in any level and your teammate was doing that too someone would be yelling the same thing. I think a lot of people Criticize him because of his past. It seems that he took a break and apologize for what happened and is now doing better.

      @@pulsed13 The media lied about him being an attacker when he was the victim of sexual assault by women who lied to him to have sex so she could concoct false stories to go after him for money. Bauer actually proved his innocence in court which is unheard of. No one usually gets the chance to prove innocence in cases like this, they usually settle to remove the risk of losing in court because of lying. Bauer's attacker made the mistake of asking for a restraining order, giving bauer the opportunity to prove she is lying. Bauer WON. Fighting a restraining order is extremely hard because judges error on the side of allowing them.
      Bauer proved his innocence to such a degree, the judge called out his attacker for lying and ruled against the restraining order. The suspension by the MLB was just long enough so the dodgers did not have to pay bauer, proving he was suspended because the team just wanted to weasel out of his contract after the team smeared him by bolstering the lie from bauer's attacker. Players should be extremely pissed about this, bauer's entire contract was essentially canceled by a false accusation bolstered by the team that could benefit by not paying bauer. This is a new way teams can turn guaranteed money to non-guaranteed money. A big ramification is that players must stick to long term contracts that are too long for a suspension to cancel to reduce the incentive for teams to suspend players to avoid paying or rostering them. Bauer was an advocate of short term contracts which benefits the above average players.

      I mean, Japan is supporting him because he’s by far the best player to come to Japan from the MLB ever. The team that has signed him and the whole league is making a lot off of him going to Japan and the change in country allows them to leave most of his controversies in the past. The Japanese people have little to no knowledge of his history and his sexual misconduct issues and are quicker to overlook than the US fans. The same would be true of course if the situations were reversed. At the end of the day, it’s all money.
      Edit: Not sure if there is a language barrier here, but one does not need to be convicted of a crime in criminal court in order for any one individual to dislike or disagree with the actions of another. I do not care if Bauer is brought to criminal court over these specific cases. My coworker never went to court for groping a female worker last year, but he damn sure did it and he was absolutely fired for it. Not facing criminal charges is not a defense to say someone didn’t do something or that we, as people, can’t hold opinions that may even disagree with a verdict (think OJ). Remember, the court lets far more guilty people walk then innocent people jailed (think type 1 vs type 2 error for those who know).
      Bauer has been problematic for a long time now and this is just one more thing in a long series of him being a total ass. His teammates have always hated him and he’s only brought negative publicity with hime wherever he’s gone. There’s not some big conspiracy, people in the US are simply done with his diva bullshit.

He is such a wasted asset for the game. The MLB front office is a bunch of cretins, and the average 'fan' on twitter is a hateful devil, all because MLB sent some nameless prostitutes after him to defame his name.

    Prior to this season, I probably never gave Trevor Bauer a second thought. He didn't play for any of my favorite teams, and his antics seemed to be a bit overblown. His exposing of the sticky stuff scandal seemed to earn a lot of hate for him, and I found it highly convenient that the allegations against him came out not long after. Even still, I didn't really pay much attention, up until the point he signed to play in the NPB. I've always been interested in baseball in Japan, and started watching his videos to get a glimpse of what I've been missing out on. I can honestly say now that I've become a fan of his. The videos he puts out are excellent, giving very detailed information on how he gets ready for games, what he does in his free time, and oh, you can't talk about him without mentioning his glove reviews. Seriously, he gives the absolute best reviews, putting product reviewers for a lot of other products to shame. I'm rooting for him and wishing him success.

      Controversial implies there's two sides.

The 30 for 30 documentary is pretty comprehensive in its analysis of it.

He also got into a ton of trouble for calling out all the pitchers who keep using illegal substances in 2018. Hes right though, as the only way for any pitcher to increase their fastball's spin rate is with foreign substances, specifically pine tar.
      So it was the combination of pissing off coaches and catchers with his training routine, and the MLB commissioners office on his Twitter crusade against pitchers using foreign substances, that when the bs sexual assault charges came along, they suspended him. Even after they were all dropped, the League still banned him for so many games. They just wanted to send a message to the other players what they would do to them if they ever tried to show them up.

    In a few ways though, I guess your opinion on Bauer likely lines up with your feelings on the “unspoken rules” I’m on the side of Bauer is a great player, and the unspoken rules ruin modern baseball.

    If you watched his videos you would know he was sent down so he could pitch more innings, he didn’t want to miss a start due to a off week. Was not sent down due to performance.

    This whole mis-characterization of "And no MLB team wanted the risk of signing him with all of his legal baggage, even for the league minimum" is a bit disingenuous.
    When he got Released from the Dodgers, he's still getting paid by the Dodgers through the rest of the term of the contract. If another MLB team does sign him, they could pay him League Minimum, and the Dodgers would still be on the hook for (Original Salary) minus (League Minimum), meaning he would still be getting $20 or $30 Million for the year, and the only way he could make more money is if some team was going to sign him for a deal worth more than the Dodgers' deal. That just was NOT going to happen. I'm sure his agent was fielding interest from MLB teams, but the agent was probably very frank in their discussion with teams and said "unless your offer is going to supersede the current Dodgers contract, we're not interested."
    But, by going to Japan, he's able to keep getting his Dodger deal, PLUS the BayStars $4 Million for the year. Why would you NOT go to Japan in a situation like this?
    The US media is so quick to paint him as persona non grata in any clubhouse in MLB, but people have looked passed far more serious accusations when it comes to someone that can perform on the field of play.

    It's not hard to understand why he's popular. Think about it from a NPB fan's perspective. If you're a NPB fan, why wouldn't you want to see how a Cy Young winner would pitch in your league? And with his vlogs he's shown he's taking the NPB competition seriously, which, again, NPB fans are bound to appreciate.

      Standard operating procedure for the mainstream media in the US. When they want to make someone or something look bad, they'll go out of their way to do it.
      Now, think about this: if they are willing to go this hard on a baseball player that hasn't been arrested, had no charges, no solid evidence against him (especially when compared to other players that have BLATANTLY beat their wives, yet they are STILL playing in MLB), then what else are they lying about?

    Also he wasn’t brought down to minors because he did bad. It was the weird rotation in Japan he wouldn’t pitch for the next week. Baystars not wanting to keep him cold brought him down just for one game so he can stay warm and immediately then brought him up. Realistically he’s actually really controversial and I wouldn’t necessarily trust the sport media that he’s suing and the tuff translation to Japanese to English all to well. If you look at his stats he’s pitching extremely well and most times in his game it’s unearned runs that he gives up. If you being honest he never was convicted, his stats are good, and it seems to me Japan loves him for a good reason.

    I'm glad he's doing well in Japan. When it first happened i thought his career was over, but it seems like it was the best decision he could've taken. I can think of a myriad of teams that could've used his services in 2023. I bet the Dodgers are wishing they could have him right about now, with that decimated rotation they have.

    Trevor Bauer is extremely intelligent and inquisitive.Despite winning great awards in the American major leagues, even when I come to Japan, I try to exchange information with excellent players who will eventually go to the major leagues and try to improve each other.All Japanese respect him because he tries to do his best in any environment.He may be the reincarnation of a Japanese samurai.That is why we Japanese instinctively have a sense of closeness and respect for him.
