The latest tweets from @WatchMomentum.
- — Trevor Bauer (@BauerOutage) January 9, 2019 the world. I have been made aware that some of the interactions related to a specific Twitter exchange may have had a negative impact.
- The 'Trevor Bauer vs. The Astros' trash-talk rivalry continues. After throwing eight innings of one-run baseball to lead Cleveland past Houston, 2-1, on Thursday, Bauer tweeted a video of himself asking an Alex Bregman bobblehead doll, 'What's up little buddy, did I dominate you last night?' (The bobblehead, of course.
Earlier this week, as Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association continued their thus far fruitless negotiations as far as player compensation in 2020, outspoken Cincinnati Reds pitcher Trevor Bauer ripped agent Scott Boras for what he sees as interfering in matters that don’t concern him.
On Wednesday, following Major League Baseball’s extremely one-sided proposal, Bauer tweeted, “Hearing a LOT of rumors about a certain player agent meddling in MLBPA affairs. If true — and at this point, these are only rumors — I have one thing to say… Scott Boras, rep your clients however you want to, but keep your damn personal agenda out of union business.”
Apparently that statement ruffled the feathers of former MLB pitcher Kyle Lohse because on Thursday he tweeted his displeasure with Bauer calling out Boras and things ended up getting very personal.
Lohse, who pitched for 16 seasons in the big leagues for the Twins, Reds, Phillies, Cardinals, Brewers, and Rangers, wrote in response to Bauer’s tweet, “Who do you think has helped put a system in place where you can throw balls and never have to really work a day in your life while making unreal amounts of money? Take your comments to the MLBPA if you have concerns, not twitter. Let the union do the talking. Best of luck.”
It only got more heated from there. WAY more heated.
Sorry for upsetting you Kyle but if I wanted Scott boras to represent my interests and the interests of my family and many employees etc, I would ask Scott boras to do that. I don’t want him to. I want the player group through the union to do so.
— Trevor Bauer (@BauerOutage) May 28, 2020Perfect. I’m not upset. Saying if you have a problem with how the union is repping you, let them know. Going public let’s the owners think you’re not unified. Fix from within, not publicly.
— Kyle Lohse (@KyleLohse26) May 28, 2020Then Bauer’s agent Rachel Luba got involved.
you do realize you’re so out of touch with what’s going on, right? but who cares.
— Rachel Luba (@AgentRachelLuba) May 28, 2020
that’s fair and happy to share at a later time. You have every right to not take me “at my word,” but I can’t explain it publicly just yet
— Rachel Luba (@AgentRachelLuba) May 28, 2020
he’s not attacking any players…
— Rachel Luba (@AgentRachelLuba) May 28, 2020
FYI.When u speak publicly against what is happening within the union, u are showing a split that the owners perceive as division amongst players. That is bad. I’ve been thru several CBA’s as a rep & I think I know a few things about this.Get back to me after youve been thru a few

— Trevor Bauer (@BauerOutage) May 28, 2020
And then former MLB closer Eric Gagne chimed in.
Yes easy to say for us players that are done with this game … that’s true I can’t argue with that but I do believe that we need to learn from each other and with each other … let’s all put our energy and come up with an idea that will blow this whole game up to the next level

Just think... this all started with telling the guy from an experienced position, to not give the opposition ammo. But what do I know. I’m allegedly a boomer now.

@BauerOutage Back to the original point, I’ve had time to think about how this started and your use of the word agenda struck me. So I think I’ll just leave these questions here for you. Btw. I’m on the players side of this, just not your style. pic.twitter.com/JFGXzLNrsq
— Kyle Lohse (@KyleLohse26) May 29, 2020Imagine a world where a law degree, experience as an MLBPA attorney, having worked at other mlb agencies, and successfully becoming a certified MLB Player Agent with a client in the majors isn’t enough to avoid comments like this 🤯. so disappointing https://t.co/ipohiigNk2
— Rachel Luba (@AgentRachelLuba) May 29, 2020Ok @KyleLohse26 2 things. You disrespected me first by judging me and making accusations. Second, it’s extremely sexist to assume that @AgentRachelLuba and I are dating. Would you assume any other player is dating their agent or are you just doing that because of her gender? pic.twitter.com/6Ms2ksTygo
— Trevor Bauer (@BauerOutage) May 29, 2020
That’s what you’re gonna go with? Calling me sexist? Am I wrong?Answer the questions I pasted for you truthfully. Oh, I’m sorry, forgot you don’t really “date”.
— Kyle Lohse (@KyleLohse26) May 29, 2020Ok Trevor, (your DMs are off)I’ve thought about it. Here’s what is going to happen. You’re going to apologize for wrongly calling me a sexist & delete your tweet. I know I wasn’t lying or falsely assuming. Then we can both go our own ways. Or I could keep going. Your call.
— Kyle Lohse (@KyleLohse26) May 29, 2020Well then. We may not have a MLB season in 2020, but we certainly can’t say they aren’t still giving us some riveting drama to watch.
The trolling and trash-talking from Trevor Bauer and Fernando Tatis Jr. in Saturday's Los Angeles Dodgers-San Diego Padres game carried over to social media on Sunday.
Trevor Bauer Twitter Harassment
In spring training last month, new Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer pitched the first inning mostly with his right eye closed, a training method he said he often uses.
On Saturday, Padres' star Fernando Tatis Jr. made his feelings known about said method when he homered off Bauer and appeared to cover one of his eyes while he rounded the bases.
But Tatis didn't stop there. He homered off Bauer again -- this time in the sixth inning, and mimicked Bauer's Conor McGregor strut after he crossed home plate.

The two players continued their feud on Twitter, where Bauer seemingly accused Tatis of looking back at the catcher's sign before the pitch and Tatis responding with him holding a child with a cutout of Bauer's face over the child's head, saying 'Calm son' in Spanish.
Trevor Bauer Twitter Wars
The Padres are going for a series sweep after dropping two of three games to the Dodgers last week. The National League West rivals are expected to be among the best teams in the NL this year.
And the rivalry continues to grow.
