That's part of it (also a Cleveland fan here). Bauer suspected Houston of using substances to get a higher spin rate. He had worked out at Driveline in Seattle and knew what was possible and what wasn't without illegal substances. In his typical fashion, he accused Houston in the media and on Twitter. MLB didn't do anything about it. So naturally Bauer joined the club.
