It stands for "F*ck Trevor Bauer." I don't know if podcast sites get weird with curse words in titles or descriptions but there's just no other way to title this episode. We talk about the sexual assault allegations against Trevor Bauer, explain why we don't want him on the Dodgers or any other team ever again, and dissect the Dodgers and MLB's unfortunately slow response to the story. The optics from the Dodgers and Dave Roberts over the last couple days have been bad, but Major League Baseball's domestic violence policy has made this whole situation even worse. Sure, maybe he is innocent and maybe the situation is not as it seems, but we can't and won't handle it in that regard right now. Sorry if you're looking for a level-headed discussion on this topic, we are too furious and too appalled to even try to handle it that way.

\nWe eventually talk about the less significant aspect of this story - what happens next for the Dodgers rotation? Plus, there are some happy highlights across baseball that deserve your attention, and Avengers Campus is unfortunately a letdown.
