Trevor Bauer's ALCS Start Has Been Pushed Back Because A Drone Sliced His Finger Open
This is the most Trevor Bauer injury of all-time. Any time that I have an excuse to link to this blog, I’m going to do it. Bauer is all about that drone life. ALL about it. Back in February, he wished a “short and miserable life” on the person who called the cops on him for flying his drone. Nothing gets between Bauer and his drone, not even the biggest start of his major league career. Bauer was scheduled to start Game 2 of the ALCS against the Blue Jays on Saturday, and now he’s getting the ball in Game 3 on Monday instead, because of the stitches on his pinky.
The comedic value of this incident would’ve been enough on its own, but then Terry Francona swooped in and put it over the top.
Bauer can totally relate to this. He’s got 99 problems, and roughly 76 of them of drone related, maybe more.
Nobody is nodding their head in approval to this more than our very own Handsome Hank, who had his finger sliced off with a drone almost exactly two years ago.
This is also a great point. If any player on the Cleveland Indians were to do something so incredibly stupid that would’ve cost them a start in the postseason, it would’ve been Bauer. So, I’m glad he sliced his finger with a drone, instead of flying his drone through the window of the person who called the cops on him, which was suggested to him on Twitter.
This is where Tito and I don’t fall into the same category. If you told me that Bauer injured himself so badly that he couldn’t take the ball in Game 2, without telling me what the injury was, I would’ve said, “That sucks, but how bad is the damage to the drone?” Again, just THE most Trevor Bauer injury in the history of Trevor Bauer injuries. Live by the drone, die by the drone.
