A friendly slap thrown by Noah Syndergaard at Trevor Bauer over how he selected the Dodgers in the free agency over the Mets has become a complete social media space between the two pitchers.
Syndergaard, who is recovering from the Tommy John operation, tweeted a message from the Mets’ official Twitter account on Friday to take a chance on Bauer, who signed a $ 102 million three-year contract with the Dodgers earlier this month has. In the version of the original report, photos of himself and Rob Gsellman laughing during spring training, Syndergaard wrote: ‘And then he says …’ I’m sorry I picked another team, but I will donate to your charities! ‘”
It was a reference to Bauer who apologized to Mets fans for marrying them unintentionally, thanks to an error that led to the advertisement of a Mets merchandise signature on his personal website hours before he rejected the franchise. has. He also agreed to donate $ 10,000 to four charities in New York.
The digging of Syndergaard did not fit well with Bauer and his camp. The agent of the Cy Young winner, Rachel Luba, responded to Syndergaard’s message by tweeting: “Lol it was an attempt to” cast a shadow “… (surprised face emoji).”
Bauer’s response was not so jovial.
“If mistakes are made, try to correct them,” he wrote. ‘I know you would know nothing of making mistakes. Hope rehab treats you well. Was good to see you throw back. ‘
He does not stop there.
Bauer, who is not free from controversy with fans on social media, posted screenshots of aggressive responses that Syndergaard wrote on an Instagram video last week about how he threw on his shirt.
In them, the 28-year-old judge responded to a fan who questioned how he was placed without heavenly pictures a year later before having to undergo surgery and missed the entire 2020. Syndergaard concluded his reply by writing: ‘It’s humid in Florida and I I chillin you stupid. In another, after a fan wrote, he should put on a shirt on ‘your toolbox’, Syndergaard brought the person of the person into the conversation.
“Show it to your wife,” he wrote. “Guaranteed she does not want me to wear a shirt … you may be lying about this, but she will think of me.”
Bauer, 30, wrote that Syndergaard should “treat the supporters better” and that “there is no room for personal insults, especially not about someone’s wife.”
The former pitcher of Reds and Indians was far from a saint on social media. In 2019, he harassed a female college student on Twitter after she called him ‘the least favorite person in sports’. Bauer responded by writing ‘Welcome to the fan club’ and tweeted at least 17 times, directly to the women or others about the argument over three days. These reports contain a photo he found on her timeline of her drinking before she reached the legal age of 21 years. Bauer later apologized and promised to ‘handle the responsibility of my public platform more responsibly in the future’.
Syndergaard responded to Bauer’s posting of his Instagram exchanges on Friday by writing along with “keep digging” A GIF from someone digging a hole. Bauer’s response was, “See you below.” Thor then said to him: ‘bring a drone and your mixing belt and it’s a deal. #takeajokebro ”- referring to past Bauer controversies. Bauer wrote: “You have an appointment (handshake emoji).”
At least one of Syndergaard’s teammates found the whole conversation amusing.
‘Twitter is honest jokes. Lol (picking up emoji), ”respondent Marcus Stroman responded on Twitter with a GIF from a man flying a drone.
The Mets and Syndergaard will only get their first look at Bauer and the Dodgers in August, with a series of three games at Citi Field.
