(670 The Score) You can say this much about Reds ace Trevor Bauer – he has a good sense of humor when someone one-ups him on the field.
Bauer – one of MLB’s most outspoken voices and biggest trash talkers – suffered through the indignity of giving up a mammoth homer to White Sox star shortstop Tim Anderson in Chicago’s 5-0 win at Cincinnati on Saturday. In the aftermath, Anderson – also an outspoken voice and glorious trash talk – had a quip for Bauer.
“Make sure you tell him to put that on his YouTube channel,” Anderson said.
On Monday, Bauer did just that, sharing a full breakdown of the at-bat and what led up to Anderson’s homer. Bauer was self-deprecating, insightful and needling in the video, breaking down how Anderson got the best of him while also including highlights of his past strikeouts of Anderson.
