He needed to be traded because he doesn't play the game the right way....

Is there supposed to be a "sarcasm" tag on this post?

I agree. Edwin Escobar plays the game the right way...
At the time we were led to believe that, but the truth has come out. Montero was much more to blame and was a locker room cancer.

I thought that the sarcasm would show through
Bauer started Game 1 for Cleveland. Lasted 4 2/3 innings, giving up 3 ER
He was 12-8 this year with an ERA of 4.42

I disagree.
In regards to both pitchers and QBS, they have an extremely specialized nature to their performance. They have to do things their way, otherwise they cant perform up to reason you took them in the first place.
Its not a rookie vs vet thing. Its not a habit thing. Its not a preference thing. Its literally an issue of capability. They have to do it this way, or they cant do it at all.
Thats why elite QBs and elite pitchers are 1 in a billion.
Catchers are a dime a dozen.
Bauer only lasted 4 batters Monday, giving up two walks before a bloody finger sidelined him.
The injury? From working on a toy drone...

That's just Bauer being Bauer, Jack.
Well, Bauer is showing he is a Dbacks starter at heart - can't make it past the fourth inning.
In two starts, 7.2 innings pitched, 5.87 ERA.

The Indians are using 3 SP in the WS, they are asking a lot of all of them.

When I first heard it, I thought it was a bad tactical move. It doesn't matter that a half a century ago, all starting pitchers pitched on 3 days rest. With the opposition now pitching on 4 days rest, it put the Indians at a disadvantage, as evidenced by their losses in games 5, 6 and 7. It was obviously Cleveland's series to lose and they did.

Francona's hand was forced with injuries though. I think he did a great job managing the team he had.
That's why he limited his SP innings so tightly though. Because he knew he was expecting a lot of them.

No matter what hour do ERA is, that was still a horrendous trade.

Just for Jon....
Trevor Bauer is 7-0 with a 2.42 ERA in his last 8 starts and even has a scoreless 0.2 IP relief appearance in the middle of that.

Forget Bauer. Remember when we dumped that loser Max Scherzer?
Good for him...

I never understood why they got rid of him. I thought he would make a good closer at the time.
