Trevor Bauer apologizes for ‘childish’ antics during Sunday’s loss

One MLB player waking up with shame and regret today is Cleveland Indians starter Trevor Bauer.

After allowing seven earned runs on nine hits in  4 1/3 innings innings pitched during the team’s 9-6 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Sunday, Bauer expressed his frustration by throwing the ball over the outfield wall in frustration as manager Terry Francona was heading to the mound to pull him from the game. Francona scolded him in front of the cameras before Bauer walked off with a look of regret on his face.

“First and foremost, I owe a sincere apology to all of my teammates, my coaching staff, the organization and all of our fans for how I conducted myself today…It’s unbecoming. It was childish, unprofessional. There’s no place for it in the game.” said Bauer following the game.

“I’m happy it didn’t result in any physical injury for anybody else. I realize I put people in danger. I want to be clear that my frustrations were with myself and my inability to stop the situation and keep my team in the game.”

No word yet on whether the team or the league will punish the 28-year old in any way.

The 2018 MLB All-Star has posted a 9-8 record, 3.79 ERA, and 1.21 WHIP in 156.2 innings pitched and 24 starts so far this season.
