CLEVELAND — The last time the baseball world caught a glimpse of Trevor Bauer's mangled pinkie finger on his right hand, it was grotesquely dripping blood onto the pitching rubber in Toronto during the AL Championship Series.
Unlike most horror movies, however, Bauer has no plans for a sequel.
The Cleveland Indians pitcher is confident the mound will be blood free when he starts Game 2 of the World Series on Wednesday night against the Chicago Cubs. Bauer tested the finger — notoriously hurt while he was tinkering with a drone — during a simulated game on Monday.
