What an awesome experience at the CwS. That makes 4 World Series trips to see the Astros and 2 to see the Aggies since 2017. That's living the baseball life, brothers!
Photos. I love to live vicariously through those who made the trip.

Like the poster said above there's a reason he hasn't been signed. The dude is a horrible teammate and hasn't made many friends in the league.

I know for a fact that JV would likely want out if they brought him in.


Then bye

I'd rather have Bauer in the post season than old man sucks in the World Series.

You either want to win or you don't.

It's not like you have to play spades with him on the plane.

Verlander gets paid very well, he can deal with not liking 1 of many guys

How about a Rocco's Jell-O shot with the #1 Astros fan himself!



ETA: Sorry, looks like Teddy beat me to it. We sort of made it a tradition to go for a Jell-O shot and then hit DJs Dugout… which is the Aggie hangout after the game. The bar played the War Hymn and Rattling Bog around midnight. Good times.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Today is my 49th birthday. Is it too much to ask for Aggie and Astros wins again today?

Probably maybe for sure? I mean dude it doesn't take being Ben Verlander to know Bauer is a troll and JV (and probably everyone) would rather not have him around, but at this point theres a good chance Bauer puts up better starts than JV and we aren't going to get it done without some help.

JV wants to win. He's put up with Osuna and others. He'd put up with Bauer and so would everyone else of he came in & produced.

"White Sox starting …"

Why they gotta have Maldy in an Astro's jersey?!!

JV threw an absolute tantrum and unloaded on Jim Crane when the Astros signed Osuna.

From what I've been told, nobody interacted with him. It did not go well behind the scenes.

I'm stating this as a fact- not speculation. There's a reason Bauer hasn't been signed. I was told there's a lot the public doesn't know when I asked about it a while back.

I've stated my opinion on Bauer multiple times before.

He was indeed railroaded on the sexual assault stuff so take that away from the conversation. Even without all that he's a locker room cancer and an awful person to have around your clubhouse. He's created problems everywhere he's been going back to before his pro career.

When you take the time to dig into his issues it's obvious why he isn't signed.

I find it ironic that some on this board insisted that Abreu was a problem in the clubhouse but the team will be totally cool with Trevor Bauer.

There's a few people who only come around when it's time to shill for him. I don't understand how anyone can defend him, but then again it seems to be a thing these days to defend those who are indefensible. It's an odd and pretty sad hill to die on.

Yup. I don't know the whole story but I'm not going to defend him either. If he hasn't been signed, it should tell you a lot. Even Aroldis Chapman stayed around- and he's one of the worst people in the entire sport.

Aggies are 4 hours away from a potential title clinching game and we are still yapping about Bauer. He can take his TrashStros shirt, roll it up real nice and stick it somewhere

Anytime someone on here or my buddies mention Bauer this video is the perfect response.



If anyone watches that and thinks it's a good idea to sign him then I don't know what to tell you.

Aggies and Astros both looking to complete improbable sweeps on June 23rd.

Amazing what a couple homers will do. Updated June stats for Houston hitters.

I think this is probably accurate… and yes, it stands to reason that this is why he hasn't been signed by anyone yet.

I also have it from a very credible source that works on a regular basis with JV that he's (to put it kindly) extremely difficult to deal with and not a very considerate person. 2015's "temper tantrum" after not getting his way story is very much on brand, according to my guy.

Most superstars are self-absorbed turds. Not a lot of Altuves out there.

But is this a Christian frat or a baseball team? Are we trying to win ball games or community service awards?

Now that JV is no longer CYA level anymore, maybe he can earn some of that huge paycheck by being mentor to TB instead of throwing tantrums. IMO A real leader would say sign this guy, but let's keep them on a short leash. I'll take him under my wing and show him the way. If he doesn't fall in line you kick him to the curb or flip them at the deadline.

Not defending him here. Tinfoil hat time.

Any chance that all of this was a hit by everyone to get him out of baseball? Dodgers are a MLB fav and they want him gone and the contract negated.

Not only petitioning for Bauer but questioning JV's leadership.

I don't know what to tell you man.

He's a FA and I'm pretty sure the contract got voided out. When he was reinstated there was an agreement to back pay him something after the arbitrator ruled he he could return and was due some back pay. But they got off the hook for the last year and $34MM. It was a very team friendly solution, like the rest of the contracts the Dodgers got this year.

My understanding is that he burned every bridge he ever made in the MLB and the latest stuff was just sort of a nail in the coffin

And yeah JV may be difficult and throw an occasional tantrum but the dude has 100% earned that right.
