Playing in empty stadiums will minimize the value of home field advantage

I think it's going to minimize the value of home field. Generally you get a lot of adrenaline and momentum when you're coming back in a game or when you're in a big situation and your home crowd is going crazy. So it's going to kind of level that out.

Studies of the 2020 sports seasons generally showed a significant decrease in home field advantage across all major sports.

Scott Boras effectively runs the MLB players' union

He [Scott Boras] can plead ignorance all he wants... he makes all sorts of ridiculous claims about... it doesn't matter which agency you're actually with, I run the union [MLBPA] anyways, you're going to have to deal with me.

While Boras is influential, the MLBPA is officially run by an executive director and a player board. Bauer's claim is an interpretation of influence.

I am a better pitcher than Curt Schilling was through age 28

I find it really fun to just position a position where like you're [Curt Schilling] either worse than me or you have to admit that advanced stuff matters. I'm better than him with certain regular stats at this point in my career through 28 years old.

Bauer won the Cy Young in 2020 (age 29). Through age 28, Bauer had 70 wins and a 3.96 ERA; Schilling through 28 had 36 wins and a 3.48 ERA (having started later as a starter). It is highly debatable.
