Trevor Bauer Has Amazing Take on Ronald Acuna-Marlins Bat Flip Beef

Trevor Bauer has never been shy about sharing his opinion on all things baseball, and he really seems to have ramped that up in 2020, making waves on Twitter all year.

This time he weighed in on the Ronald Acuna-Miami Marlins issue, and he absolutely nailed it.

If @ronaldacunajr24 hits an oppo homer off you that hits the second deck, he can bat flip all he wants and you just have to wear it. I mean, he could Contreras that thing to the moon for all I care. Good lord. That was a tank. If you don’t like it, get him out and strut on him ?

Acuna led off Game 1 of the NLDS with an opposite-field home run, and he watched it leave the park and tossed his bat on the way to first base. The Marlins did what the Marlins do, and rather than getting him out they decided to throw at him later in the game.

Even as a pitcher, Bauer is having none of the Marlins' approach. Acuna made an incredible play with a 428-foot oppo shot, and that's something worth celebrating. And of course as an equal-opportunity taunter, Bauer also believes the pitchers should retaliate.

Only instead of retaliating by throwing at him, the best revenge is a taste of his own medicine — getting him out and then rubbing it in with a celebration of your own.

Young stars like Acuna and Fernando Tatis Jr. bring a ton of fun to baseball, and Bauer's not a fan of the Marlins trying to stand in the way of that fun.
