Bauer having troubles again. Pitch count climbing and in trouble with base runners. Just as I type, 3-0 now.
I really think he needs to just concentrate on less pitch types. Hell, if he just went completely FB, CU, And Slider he would be better off and have more control. I know it was just pre season but he threw 2 pitches only all spring training and looked good. However, with that said, I think he will break out of this and be more dominate later. It’s just frustrating right now.Trevor Bauer continues his subpar season. But then again, it must suck pitching for this lineup, no time to have a free and easy approach.

Agree. Something is up. Once he got command of that slider, he was pretty good with it. I feel he’ll turn it around at some point but he is missing the plate too much. The reason I brought up those three pitches is they all come from the same slot, motion and tail off different. His curve has not served him as well this season yet.I think that mindset was proven false a few years ago. I think you agree with this as well, considering you named his slider, which he only added recently. Bauer's a stud, and adding a slider to his repertoire really helped him.
Something's up with him right now. A few starts in a row, every time he tried to throw a slider to the 1st base side of home plate, it was 6 inches outside. Like, consistently--a pitch that he should be able to nail corners with naturally was off. The only way he was throwing his slider for a strike was like up and in. I'm not sure if it's a little nagging injury/tightness/soreness thing, or if he's just a little off mechanically, but something isn't right.
You are right. Right now we basically have two qualified MLB hitters in this lineup. Tough to win that way. I think that is why Trevor and Carrasco are scuffling, they know tney have to pitch gems everytime out. Tough to pitch that way. This is tough to watch right now.Yeah we are blowing this bitch up. Indians twitter is going to blow up on the Dolans like never before when the firesale begins. Walk-up crowds are going to dip when they used to rise. TV ratings will definitely plummet. Window slammed shut. This is what happens when you don't have qualified MLB hitters. When Frankie and Santana slump, there's no Napoli to hit the occasional 3 run bomb, or Edwin, or Brantley, or hell Gomes even has his fair share of walk-offs.
Nobody is picking these guys up. Jose is fucking pathetic too. His AB with runners on was frightening.

It won't be a full blow-up. Kipnis, Martin, Ollie Perez, guys like that. Only significant deal could be Bauer.
