Cleveland Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer may not have been able to do much on the field in Game 3 of the ALCS on Monday, but he sure knew how to celebrate.
Bauer, who cut his finger on his drone Friday morning and got stitches, lasted just four batters in his start because his finger was gushing blood, leading to his removal from the game. He was disappointed he was unable to pitch, but luckily the bullpen and offense were able to come up big and win the game 4-2. The victory has Cleveland ahead 3-0 in the series, which is something Bauer wasn’t shy in reminding the opposing fans about after the game:

Bauer also joked on Twitter about the “standing ovation” he received from Blue Jays fans.
1) what a W!! 2) my cleats got a bit dirty. 3) loudest standing ovation I've gotten walking off the mound. … pic.twitter.com/1VUozRBSaG

Bauer may have let his team down by being unable to pitch in Game 3 — something Curt Schilling ripped him for — but his teammates luckily picked him up. That allowed him to do what he does best — troll the fans. And if the Indians close things out, he should have enough time to heal before the World Series.
