I feel like this was unintentional but I giggled.

The problem is that people have an issue with where he is trying to shove it.

That's pretty sad. I don't know the story here, but is the guy who's hitting against him just some random dude from Barstool Sports?

League minimum I say yes. Who cares. Be the heel of baseball.

Lodge's son Brandon (who the Angels drafted) played with Bauer at UCLA.

As of right now every single owner doesn’t like the idea of adding him. 

True. 

But my point is that Arte's personal vibes haven't served the team well in the past - and he needs to stay the eff away from personnel decisions.  Leave that to the GM, the manager, and even the players.

Dude got barreled up by a barstool sports guy named Marty Mush lmao

Anyone really claiming he wouldt be am above average major league pitcher?   He's had a bit of a spotty past.  He may not compete for a Cy Young, but people taking shots at his skill level aren't  really taking a shot at his skill level.   They just don't like him.

No, I'm making fun of him for not being able to consistently throw strikes to some random blogger. I'd say the same thing if it was Detmers, etc. He looked like a clown.

Good for you.  I wasn't responding to anyone in particular.   I've seem a lot of people knocking him as a pitcher.

Bauer appreciates you standing up for him.

Major Sports second chances and success stories are made into movies on Disney....

I think Eric Sim played some ball in the Giants org. There was some videos of him playing some minor league games in Japan also.

They made a movie about Phil Robertson, a murderer, rapist, and child abuser who "found Jesus" and made millions selling duck noises. So it fits that Bauer would get his own film.

I’d be down.  Low risk, high potential reward.  If he sucks, cut him.  If he ends up being a cancer, cut him.

but the dude has purpose now.  Focus.  Intention.  Give him an incentive laden deal and I’d bet he buckles down and handles business.  He’s trying to repair his reputation after getting dragged, and convicted by mannered who hated him for exposing the sticky stuff issue.   

after watching his blogs about Japan, I do think he has been humbled a bit.  And he knows so much about baseball and pitching.  

add all of this together and the potential is great, and the risk is league minimum

and for all the PC Nightmare worries, we are already the laughing stock of the league, have been for years now.  Wasting one generational talent and letting the other walk to the other side of town.   There is no reputation to trash.

Id love to see us pick him up.

but alas, our owner is garbage

Dodgers' minor league players are set to face the Asian Breeze in a game on March 10th in Glendale, Arizona. Bauer is expected to take the mound for the Asian Breeze, a traveling team based in Arizona that operates solely during the spring season, for approximately three innings. Bauer will be taking the mound due to his prior connection with the Asian Breeze manager. (Source in Japanese: Nikkan Sports, March 7th)
