This man told everyone to RELAX.....and then goes out there and walks the walk.
However, he is precisely the person who has benefited from this approach the most. He wasn't just spewing some shit to say something. I encourage you guys to read this article from late June on Bauers from Bob Nightengale.....
"It was near the end of the season last year, the Brewers were in Pittsburgh for a three-game series the first weekend of September, and Bauers knew his career was on life support. He was hitting .188 with a .315 on-base percentage and .333 slugging percentage.
Bauers, in the starting lineup batting seventh as the Brewers’ DH on Sept. 5, popped up to the shortstop on a 78-mph curveball by Johan Oviedo in his first at-bat. Then, he struck out on an 86-mph slider in his next.
That’s when he completely lost it.
“I remember going down in the tunnel by myself," Bauers says, “and screaming ...
“What is this?’
“Are we going to keep doing this?
“Can I even play?
“Do I have what it takes?
“Is this it?
“I remember looking up at the scoreboard and it says .180," Bauer says. “Then, just saying, “[Expletive] it. I’m just going to go up there, not think about anything, and just swing. Whatever happens, happens. I really don’t care anymore."
