Please release full version
He’s a Dodger ....
And now he cheats lol
I’ve tried using some pitching mechanics from you abs it works and I’m a huge fan I appreciate your videos keep going
MLB paid him back ..
Thanks for having me on guys!
It sucks that a team can just lie their way to glory, and still get the rings for it. How’s bout winning a ring with the reds?
Beau Bowden shut the fuck up dude Jesus Christ.
What did you mean when you said “it’s a black guy for baseball” or were you misheard?
Are you playing this year Trevor?
Koolio Holmes he said “black eye for baseball”
the astros actually had the balls to say yu darvish was tipping his pitches when they were stealing his signs the whole time lmao
Doesnt mean he wasnt
Kyle Corrigan 😂 so brutal
Same with tyler glasnow
Looking at Darvish’s numbers as a Cub everyone must have been stealing signs off him
Zeke Bones second half of last season - 66 1/3 innings, 93k, 6 BB, .191 BAA, 2.44 era, 0.78 whip.
Yet Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson are still banned
Lol yeah that doesnt make any sense, dumbass. Who they gonna ban? The whole team? Past players? Stupid comment
Put ROSE and BONDS in the HALL of FAME!!!
@@johnjacob3160 why not ban the whole team? They all knew
@Joe Nuxhall kind of. Shoeless Joe may not have known what he was agreeing to. Pete blatantly violated a rule and voluntarily accepted a banishment. The Astros blatantly cheated and nothing was done to stop it, and they're unrepentant. Yes they should be banned, and at that point, it'd be a worse punishment than Rose because he volunteered.
@@theringmaster886 You can't ban a player for following the culture and practices of their team in attempts to win. Cheating ruins the integrity of a player.
Throwing games for bookies ruins the integrity of the game. They are two completely different things.
Bregman and Altuve were pathetic this weekend. Didn’t admit to anything or apologize. They always have something to say. Now crickets.
i guess you have never worked for anybody before, if you did you would know that you are not allow to dicuss company issues with outside sources, they may not have been authorized to speak on the issue
David Kay you have no idea what you’re talking about. This was an MLB investigation. Astros cannot force their players to be quiet. It’s in the collective bargaining agreement. They can speak about that freely.
@@jeffcann7233 thats fine and great but that doesnt protect them from repercussions from the organization
They can’t say anything right now. Organization and the MLB is probably keeping them from saying anything. Many of you are very ignorant to investigations and other things
@@sta4ever338 exactly
Bauer gets a bad rap because he's outspoken, but I like his antagonizing personality.
I thought it was funny when he threw the ball over the centerfield wall. His manager didnt like it but I thought it was funny
Hes like Kip and Uncle Rico combined
@@orbonds3603 Show it
He's such a baseball nerd and fan it's amazing. I always go back to his video where he mimics the batting stances of his teammates . He did Ryan Raburn and Kipinis
@William Gullett I like Bauer but I think that’s just immature
Astros will lead the league in Hit By Pitches for their cheating scandal.
I want to see Altuve thrown at on his first at-bat. Plug him in the back, don't want anyone to get seriously hurt of course. I'm very interested in how teams will approach the Astros, I already know how the fans will be 😂
@@1TotalJabroni Back, arm, leg, and side will do
God i hope so
Not gonna happen, bitch ass no balls manfred protecting the astros and red sox
I'd like to see Alex Bregman break Ron Hunt's record. 50 times in one season.
AJ Hinch said it was laughable. He owed it to baseball to stop it, or tell someone. He can laugh from his couch.
Tim Jeffries ... maybe the couch he got for free from Mattress Mack.
While eating chicken wings and counting his money.
Laughing counting his money with his WS ring on. Astros aren't the first team to do this, just the first team to get caught.
hinch should have got the lifetime hit.
@Caп¡z Aпuв¡z Yeah gotta give credit to the Nats played one hell of a series, that Soto kid ain't not joke. But didn't the allegations for Astros "cheating" were only in 2017 not '18 or '19.
The line is crossed when you wear shades inside...
You must be new
And the track suit
Total dildoe.
And he's labeling people nerds???
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I hope the Stro’s have a signal for “fastball to the face”
Won't happen.
If Fiers ever gets traded to a National League team, he better pick up this signal, because I can guarantee that he’s gonna need it!
imagine trying to cause bodily harm to somebody because you are so pussy hurt over a game
@@dave-cd7jd I would normally agree about it just being a game, but as they pointed out in the video this whole situation is a domino effect. They have affected players'/coaches' careers, contracts, salaries, and game results. Someone will take it upon themself to send a message.
David Kay agreed, but it happens anyway... All the time
The integrity of MLB will never be the same
Tony Gutierrez Big difference in stealing sign, and throwing games for gamblers.
yea because it was such a beacon of integrity before this. Astros didn't even cheat last year and still made it to the WS
I don't think they had a union back then, either.
Sure it will .. everybody got over the steroids scandal .. same here .. mlb will make gazillions of dollars next year too
@Tony Gutierrez Agree 100%.
I live in Houston and can't believe that they thought that they would get by with this . What about when players are traded or demoted or any number of things . Players talk to other players...especially after they leave the team . They are not only cheaters but are stupid as well.
I know what u mean, disappointed at my team
Fake ass fans, Astros All fuckin day and night #2017WSChamps
Yeah, which makes no sense. It’s just lies. I mean at the end of the day was anything really proven? Some dumb staged photo with no time stamp and some videos where people “dissected” “bangs”. Utterly surreal people just believe anything these days
They didn’t cheat it’s a hoax
I like Bauer's interview. I think would be a great baseball analyst down the line because of his good communication skills and awareness to make certain ideas and concepts accessible to everyone despite him being socially awkward at time he seems to have a lot of empathy towards others situation
Adonis Cruz definitely. Trevor is a good man. Great communication skills behind the camera.
@@davidsalszar871 IDIOTIC!
He's probably gonna be Jon Bois protege
@@usctrojanfreak this didn’t age well
@@scrantonanthony5647 Lmao!!
I started to notice they were cheating when they weren’t last in the AL West/NL central
Eastwood Productions lmao
I love it
😂 what a dumbass
That’s funny and I’m an Astros fan. 😂😂
Funniest comment yet!!!
Trevor is a real man. Admitting that there are things happening all the time that are considered cheating and not opening his mouth about it. He knows he might’ve been cheated while playing against the astros but doesn’t cry or whine about it.
1000000000000%%!!!!!!!
Didn’t age well
@@jackthomas7764Innocent until proven guilty
@@jackthomas7764 Didn't age well.
I am so angry, mad, disgusted and disappointed with the Houston Astros. Specially Altuve! He was yelling “la camisa NO”, which means, “Not the shirt.” He didn’t want his shirt ripped off after the homer against Chapman
What a freaking disappointment Altuve is 🤦🏽♂️
I moved him to the bench in my MLB the show fantasy team! He is an embarrassment!
They already investigated this shit! Get over it
@@roberttrevino5058 "Investigated"
He has not been caught with anything yet you are already casting him as guilty?
Shut up he didn't have anything under his shirt cuz they ripped other players on the team Jerseys and there was nothing
The biggest problem plaguing the sport is the sanctioned (allowed) cheating by pitchers. I noticed an uptick a few years ago and now its all over the sport - and the ball.
The cheating happens by the concoctions and substances that pitchers are putting on the ball, giving it a lot more spin.
If I recall, Bauer said something in the media years back - effectively saying its a problem and that MLB is doing nothing about it.
So that's a tough deal. If MLB does nothing about it, then teams will eventually demand that all pitchers need that extra 300RPM on the ball and then basically, if you don't cheat you may end up off the roster. Its BS and puts honest players in a tough spot.
I'm a massive A's fan and have been telling people they're cheating for years. When you follow baseball extremely closely you learn things. This was known in the community by a TON of people. Shame on the mlb.
I believe this scandal is bigger than most realize. When Verlander pitched at home for the Tigers, it seemed like every other home start he was on the verge of throwing a no-hitter...he was completely and consistently dominant. Then he would pitch in Cleveland or Chicago and they would light him up for 7 runs in two innings, or he would give up 4 home runs in three innings...completely out of character. You'd see some .270 hitter sit on a nasty 12-6 curveball and hit it 400 feet, or take a 96mph fastball low and away and smack it into the opposite field gap. I would always comment that it seemed like the hitters knew that pitch was coming.
Many 'Stros hitters will set career highs, if not MLB records, for getting hit by pitches this year
Maybe for the month of April. But it won’t last very long.
Sorry, former Astro Craig Biggio... ain't going down that easy.
Chris Craven Way to show your better than the Astros by wanting them to get their asses kicked.
Yankees and Dodgers got screwed by these cheaters
Adam Lauben
And tampa
David fettig And everyone
Well when the dodgers and Yankees basically should win every year, since they have the highest payrolls.
What about the Yankees Steroid players(Rodriguez, Pettite,Clements) and Dodgers Steroids players(Mike Piazza,Manny Ramirez, Jay Howell, Gary sheffield), where was your bitching then?
Did the Nationals cheat too? Lol
I feel like MLB put a gag order on players from talking about the cheating. I wonder if the higher-ups will penalize Bauer for interviews like this.
The Houston Asterik's should lose their titles
Let them keep it. It's tainted and means nothing now.
Clever lol
Title*
@@billybob9392 WS, plus their ALDS ALCS titles.
So should the Houston Asterisks.
Imagine how Kershaw is feeling? MAN! That poor guy was soooo frustrated the Astros hit everything he threw! Also GOOD point made by Bauer about the free agency. It is not fair. Let's not view this as a game to game thing but all the repercussions it brings to the game. Also, a ENORMOUS shout out to the Nationals that beat the Astros 4 games in their house!
suspend EVERY PLAYER involved.....many people lost their jobs, where traded, or lost their careers entirely because of the Boston and Houston cheaters.
Ban them!! Pete Rose won’t be in the hall of fame for much less
Richard Rybinski So you did an investigation and found Boston guilty too ? You’re talking out your ass.
Seers Tower ban who??? The whole organization including every player that knew about it for the past 2 years? That’s such a stupid fucking thing to compare it to lol maybe dont be such a dumbass
Your mom
@What Not To Do At a Stoplight no they didn't unless you're referring to apple watches years ago which they stopped doing a while back
Handle it internally? To me, that means COVER-UP I'm glad this has been brought out the way it has. Breaks my heart but nonetheless, glad it has been brought to life. Cheating has no place in anything in this world. Say it over and over, Cheating, Cheating....It's gross
Obviously he's talking from integrity and revenue purposes. All viewership and revenue is down in every sport, mainly because of politics, but this definitely hurt the game as well.
2:52 they always say that but you need to say something that’ll get through that wall of meditation. Scream out a old lovers name or the highschool they went to. Worked for Jason Hayward when he was in outfield “THATS THAT MCHENRY COUNTY BOY” (where he went to high school) got a smile and wave mid inning.
Only good part of the scandal: watching Bauer dunk on the Astros on Twitter
And look at Trevor now....🤣🤣🤣
The Astros have players need to be punished.
MT I agree the only problem with this is the MLB PA would fight tooth and nail, possibly even a class action suit against the MLB if they banned any of the players. My solution is simple. 99 to the dome every AB. If the Astros want to talk shit, make them eat it too 🤷♂️
For what?? Your a pussy for thinking this is even a big deal
@@MRoss623 Agreed! People are so upset that Houston Astros Cheated! Who cares? Players' Union will protect the players anyway! However, those who cheated will get drilled with 100 mph aim at their head!!! If I was pitching in MLB my first targets would be Astros players. Their careers will end on the field of battle!
Rakesh Premdass ... and, if any opposing pitcher does not throw at Astros hitters, then they are hiding something.
@@Hornsfan64 Agreed!
I had never heard Trevor Bauer speak before and this dude is really cool
Great interview 👍👍👍
Great interview
I just remember this guy throwing blood towards home plate when he hurt his hand playing with his drone
Remember when dude from the Cardinals went to jail for hacking the Astros
Got 5 yrs
hacking somebodies private servers is a whole other level of wrong
Yeah, and guess what? The assstholes got special draft very high picks to compensate. I bet the guy from the Cards was trying to find proof of something going on before it all got exposed recently.
@@mattgilbert5850 but he hacked the system in 2013 and got sentenced in 2016. Do some research. You're using the internet lol
@@jaybird5747 its been going on for a long time and its fair to say that the judicial system is very slow. Besides you can't always believe everything you read just because it's on the internet. But that is a fair point.
Y’all forgot to mention N.Y.Y & Red Sox got fined using Smart Watch before Astros got busted
I'm a lifelong Astros fan, had a tattoo BEFORE we won the series, I tried to rationalize and make excuses but to this day I can't watch them. Until every single player that was on the roster is gone I just can't. Shit was heartbreaking cause that series win was huge for the city.
Oh shut up
I Agree but explain to me how they had a better record on the road then at home???
@@ericadams8467 they were doing it on the road as well at some point in 2017 I believe. Maybe it was 2018. It’s mentioned in the commissioners report although they don’t say how the signals were transmitted. Which is why many people including me believe they used some sort of buzzer.
Like the saying goes the craziest people are the most intelligent
And, sadly devious.
I admit I didn't know. But watching them in Houston it was crazy it was very much like watching an entirely different team. I do remember thinking "it's like they know what's coming". Or "Sale just threw a 99 mph fastball at the neck and he hit it out."
Great interview. Smart young man.
I was hardcore rooting for the Astros during the WS. Now, im incredibly disappointed and embarrassed.
The Astros beat trash cans and Bauer beat women. Seems about right.
I’m glad he didn’t get upset at his interview performance and toss the mic over the building
When it comes to the niche rules of baseball I'm clueless. So if im standing on second base and strictly from experience learn the signs the catcher is flashing to the pitcher and flash then back to my teammate at bat, am I stealing signs? Or was it the fact the Astros were using video to steal the signs that makes it illegal?
I can't take "Mr. Cool Guy" there very seriously.
Jackass
Right??
I always envy cool guys like that. They get to walk around all day honestly believing they're cool. What a fun life that would be.
d thorne
I bet those cool guys get all the ladies
@@_gabe_2407 Even if they don't, they still think they do. That's the magic of the cool guy.
Refund Dodger fans WS tickets. I want my money back.
How about every team in the AL West? I want my $$ back, and could my A's have won the West without Houston cheating?
Dodgers lost this season in the 1st round. You want that money back too??
@@barrymckockiner7228 not the point coward
Sound like a bunch of bitches lol
He said WS. Why are you expanding to last year to make, what you think is a cleaver point?
Where can I find that poker video
I'm from Houston and am embarrassed to call the Astros my team!
Thomas Fischer they did you the fan, the city, MLB, and fair competition dirty. Very sad and pathetic
@@youcanquoteme2 you're absolutely right!
Wow finally an astro fan that doesnt have the team up his ass tryna defend a SCAM of seasons they had when they obviously cheated n no matter how much u like altuve he's was part of it to n now they will only be know as that.
Still an Astros fan for life
As a rangers fan, this is glorious watching this play out 😂
Thanks Trevor,you were right the whole time. Now have a good season so the Yankees can trade,for you at the deadline this season so we can also shake your hand,and give you a roll call like we do with Judge,and company.
This from a Yankees fan.
💪
He discovered it by watching Jomboy, just like everyone else.
The thing I was paying attention the most was the setup of that booth...seems like an interrogation and no atmosphere
In the first game of the Astros, National world series Steven Strausburg gave up first inning hits untill the catcher and manager changed signs if I rember correctly. Was it still going on in 2019?
I doubt it, if they astros were cheating in 2019 they most likely would have won the WS
What’s with the dude wearing sunglasses? I’m struggling to take this video serious because of him.
It’s an inside joke if you don’t listen to pmt
Same
I can't take anyone seriously who would wear sunglasses like that indoors, and with that tracksuit. Lord have mercy on your soul, dude.
I’ve often wondered how organizations that do this sort of stuff would do in an equal setting or games with as few of rules as possible. Not just in baseball but in every paid sporting events.
Please release full version
Absolutely correct! They moved on from those trash cans pretty quickly and started wearing devices on the shoulder or in their shoes! It’s 100% people were talking about it well before it came out! It’s unbelievable to me that not only did they not get punished they got to keep the rings and the trophy!?!? The commissioner needs to be fired and then for my own satisfaction he should be tarred and feathered!
**Houston Asterisks**
I personally don't have more appreciation for a player other than Greinke , as I do for Bauer. He's badass.
Lol
guys like Bauer and that Matt Friers, those guys should be applauded. they should not be called a narc or described as a rat.
the Astros were breaking the rules and some players did not appreciate that. since the Astros refused to come forward
and admit they were cheating it took player(s) to speak up and put a stop to the cheating.
nothing wrong with what Friers did. thank you Mr Friers for being brave enough to stand up and expose the cheaters
Absolutely!
Lol great interview.
The line is crossed when the hitter has a way to know what pitch is coming. Period!
U dont know baseball bro! Just leave it alone.
@@chrischance8514 Yeah right!
As a baseball dummy I have to ask: Why was the Astros’ away batting average higher. And the only stats I’ve heard that are different is a -3% Ks at home and stolen bases on breaking balls.
They just don’t talk about this because it doesn’t fit their narrative.
Jrbr 549 the fact the Astros was the best team is being ignored! They won more games on the road in the Playoffs they they did at home!
@@redwingsfan3621 they were a good team that didn't need to cheat to win but did, in fact, cheat to win
i love bauer’s twitter
No lie baseball needed something like this. Everyone is talking about it at the national level
I grew up with baseball in the '60's and it's been hard living with the changes to the game, players, and the cheating. The game I loved is gone (and no one will care because they didn't see it) but on the bright side, those born today won't care in a few years and the cheating will probably have morphed to something even worse. I already note all the time the attitudes about cheating that people in their teens to 20's have now. You just grow up with it so it's just a fact of life and hear it justified as " it's smart play". This isn't over and we've only scratched the surface of the level of cheating going on and where it's taking us now.
Imagine being an Astro fan and NOT being upset that they were cheating.
Does anyone else think the title doesn't coincide with the content of this video? How did he figure it out? From 3 sources?
When did rob riggle start doing sports radio
The league used the Astros as examples..many teams in Major League Baseball cheat in one way or another. This accusation was ridiculous (very petty). They had a great team and were the envy of every team because of how good they were.
Exactly. Everyone whining (fans and analysts especially) is completely ignorant to the fact that every team cheats in one way or another. Astros won. everyone can suck it!!!
How can Trevor sit there and take questions coming from a guy wearing mirrored sunglasses inside a dimly lit room seriously?
trev bauer and mike clev best duo in baseball
Some things need to come out to keep the game fair to players and fans. It's a powder keg for Asstros eventually removing the undeserved title and MVP of Tattuulve.
How about MLB threatens a lifetime ban in baseball on Cora unless he gives current player names.
I think Cora’s done, regardless
now you are gonna punish other teams who have aquired those players, not gonna happen
Can't wait to see Astros players stats to drop now that they won't be cheating lol
You do know these guys are still very good at baseball. The report was due to 17 not 19 playoffs.
Peter Packer theyve been cheating since 2017 my dude
@@DTV98 Well the documents say different my dude. Stopped early 2018. Not saying it was right. I'm a die hard fan and it fucking sucks. It pisses me off so bad that the best memory of this team is tainted with this cheating scandal. They don't deserve the benefit of the doubt but you are wrong about 2019 unless new info comes out.
@@peterbuccieri1836 Native Texan... born and raised... Fuck the Astros.
altuve and all the other hitters had shitty road games stats
@@mathewshoyt1763 www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.fcgi?id=altuvjo01&t=b&year=Career these are altuves career splits higher batting average on the road overall, so i guess he just cant hit the ball without cheating?
Great show good episode. Go reds!
Go get em Trev! Been following your spin rate experiments for years.
Bauer's one of my favorite non-Dodger pitchers, pretty much Zack Greinke's natural successor. He'll always get my respect, especially after what the Astros pulled the last few seasons.
>;-)
Well he's a dodger now lol
0:49 gave me Vietnam style flashbacks to when I lived on the 1st floor of an apartment.
1:35 too
This is actually good for baseball. I haven't watched a game in 15 years but I'm paying attention to this. It's waaaay more entertaining than anything that happens on the field.
This has aged well
We should boycott the upcoming MLB season until they really do something about this.
I haven't been to a game since the 1986 World Series. I'm way ahead of you.
John J MLB didn’t do enough to the Astros or anything at all to the players
Now, THAT, would put an end to all cheating. But it won't happen.
@@Grassyknolldallas Doesn't matter. The players are humiliated and tainted forever with trophies and rings worth nothing. Altuve, bregman will never be believed again no matter what they say. Karma has struck hard.
That’s a great idea I wish the fans, US the people buying tickets actually stand up and demand a fair game. If we went to the store and bought a defective product wouldn’t we return it and expect our money back???
Ironic. One cheater thinks he can comment on another. 🤦♂️
So someone explain it to me...as the opposing manager, with knowledge of the vibrating band-aid...why couldn't they call the umps together and ask them to inspect under their jersey?
i remember former mlb player gregg zaun talking about darvish performance vs them a few years ago. said the astro's knew exactly what was coming he assumed he was tipping his pitches...who knew they were cheating.
Deceiving headline. He didn't discover anything, he was told by other people.
Surfer Bob that has nothing to do with what is going here buddy lol.
That's how he discovered it.
This is going to be a fun season...can’t wait.
The leading trash can team Houston ASStros will fail miserably.
Look on the brightside, this year. We get the following games :
Oakland and Fiers vs Astros 19 times.
I wonder if there's a correlation between stats jumping and number crunching using the fangraphs tools to see -who- exactly cheated the system by looking at batter vs pitch, hard hit%, etc. I'm sure over the sample size of 2 years, there will be plenty of juicy data to see who the cheaters were, or at least find likely culprits.
I'd like to see stats on swing and miss, the last 2 seasons, compared to upcoming season, top 5 batting avg. Players on the as-holes, I mean stros!
After the cameras cut off Trevor took off his headset and chucked it out of the room.
I see a lot of Astros getting hit this year, teams will want to enact their own punishment.
Did he ever explain how he knew they were cheating? Did I miss that part?
He did not lol. The closest thing to it is he said people told him that the Astros were cheating.
Classic CZcams.
Wonder if anyone rethinking their comments on this interview. Real man? Integrity? One thing is though he is fighting it all the way says he’s got proof, plus no charges filed.
How about creating crosses the line when one team (home team) can set up this and have an unfair advantage over the other team...pretty simple.
Great vid.
Side note: you’re indoors, my dude. Take the darn sunglasses off.
Yobecaps you must be new

“Pardon the interruption” “first take” 🤔
Wow, you should be in the next Sherlock movie!
birdo623 that the one starring your mom? I heard she was trying to find your father. Cant help you there
If you look at their offensive stats, it was phenomenal and the same suspicious.
love you guys
"Once a nerd gets involved it's cheating." 😂
Someone tell me how the Astros lost EVERY home game vs the Nationals in the World Series?
Its the american league playoffs and championships they cheated
no luck Maybe they used a cheap fake Ring Camera by mistake 😬😂😂
Brian Logenecker LOL nice sample size Brian. Astros' walk-to-strikeout ratio in 3 previous years ranked 15th, 14th and 15th. With the Cheat, they were 1st, 2nd and 1st. Great to see MLB pitchers speaking out & just how significant this is to integrity of compeition - Archer, Clevinger, Stroman, etc. Teams ignored Manfred's warnings (prior to 2017 Playoffs) & continued the Cheat, using real time vid feeds, in dugout elec comm's, etc - NOT just the trashcan
6 ix I’m not arguing that they cheated, but it’s weird, I guess the Nationals were just well informed.
the cheating issue was 17 not 19
The most watched game next year is going to be the Astro’s vs the dodgers 😃
5:25 proves it wasn't a big deal at all ....because they were literally doing just that...watching the live feed then decoding signs from that
The industry is dirty. People protecting the golden goose who you crapping. $$$$$$$
