Trevor Bauer was not at all happy with his Yokohame DeNA Baystars teammates during his most recent start, to the point where he was seen yelling “Wake up!” after a difficult tackle on defense.
Down 2-0 to the Chunichi Dragons, the former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher had runners on first and second with two out and a 3-2 count against the batter, meaning runners were going to steal the field.
While that was going on, the batter grounded out to second baseman, and that’s when the madness began down the paths of the bases.

Instead of throwing the ball to first to get out of the inning (the batter seemed to get out of the left-handed batter’s box too fast), the second baseman noticed that the stealing runner from first base never stopped at second and continued toward third. .
The only problem for the Dragons was that the runner on second was never breaking home, which meant that two runners were going to converge on third base.

Bauer probably thought that would result in an out, but the original runner on third began to run toward home plate, leading to a nice play between home and third.
But while this should have been a problem for the Dragons, it became a Baystars problem in the end.
The runner running toward home plate eventually made it back to third base, prompting his teammate to start running back to second base. That’s when the Baystars receiver got confused and waited too long to make a decision on the ball.

In the end, all the runners returned to one base without getting an out, leaving the bases loaded for a very frustrated Bauer.

He was seen yelling towards the ground at that point before having to get out of the jam again.
Fortunately for him, the next batter grounded out to Bauer, who didn’t want to risk another defensive mishap. He ran to first base to hit the bag and end the inning.
But it wasn’t over: Bauer was clearly seen yelling at his teammates to wake up, and he continued to yell in the dugout before disappearing into the clubhouse.
It wasn’t the best start for Bauer, as he allowed 10 hits in six innings. However, he was bailing out, allowing just two runs (one earned) while striking out six and walking two.
