Trevor Bauer should leave the Houston Astros alone and work on investigating these much more important MLB conspiracy theories.

After spending several weeks as a consummate “good teammate,” we regret to inform you that Cleveland Indians provocateur/starting pitcher Trevor Bauer is back on his bullshit again. The right-hander took to Twitter yesterday to publicly insinuate that the spike in spin rate experienced by Justin Verlander (future Hall of Famer), Gerrit Cole (All-Star) and Charlie Morton (guy who throws 99-mph sinkers) upon their arrival to the Houston Astros was the result of cheating.

It’s probably not “good-teammate” behavior to air baseless claims against the defending World Series champions on Twitter.

Anyway, this is nothing new from Bauer, and we’re probably just at the tip of the iceberg when it comes to things he accepts as truth. Hopefully he is on the case with these five MLB conspiracy theories. Strap on your tin-foil hats, folks.

5. Curt Schilling’s sock was actually bloody

Trevor Bauer fancies himself an edgy thorn in the side of the mainstream media. The thing about people who consider themselves thorns in the side of mainstream media is that they’re actually just annoying crybabies. Bauer definitely has plenty of examples to look up in MLB history when it comes to trolling, but no one has made a bigger heel turn than World Series hero Curt Schilling.

It has been proven over and over that the substance on Schilling’s sock during Game 6 of the 2004 ALCS was in fact ketchup. The Hall of Fame tested it, but Alex Jones continues to suppress the release of the facts. You just can’t expect to be able to reason with a big-brain like Bauer’s, though. He definitely still believes Curt Schilling was bleeding out of his surgically-repaired ankle and throwing a gem in a must-win playoff game. Cool story, bro.
