Going, going, gone!

Cleveland Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer threw the ball from the mound over the center-field wall at Kauffman Stadium — some 350 feet away —

as manager Terry Francona walked on to the field to take the star righty out of a 9-6 loss to the Royals on Sunday.

The 28-year-old Bauer kicked off the tantrum by chucking the ball into the netting behind home plate.

Bauer, a strong candidate to be moved at Wednesday’s MLB trade deadline, had just given up a two-run single in the bottom of the fifth inning when his day ended.

It’s customary for pitchers to hand the ball to their manager, but Bauer wasn’t having any of it after giving up eight runs (seven earned) on nine hits.

“I’m an intense competitor and that fire is what drives me,” Bauer told reporters as he read from a prepared statement after the game. “Today it completely consumed me and took over. I just wanted to say I’m sorry for how I behaved. It won’t happen again.”

“Nothing really broke my way,” Bauer said. “Even when I felt like I executed good pitches, they were capped off the end of the bat. So, the frustration built up.

“Right now, I’m just focused on the negative impact I’ve had on our culture, and our team and organization, and trying to make reparations to the people in this clubhouse and in our organization. We’ll handle whatever else comes down the line from there.”

Bauer said he spoke to his teammates, but wasn’t sure how they would take his apology.

“It’s hard to tell right now,” he said. “Everyone’s emotions are high. I just wanted to talk to them, to let them know how I’m feeling and how I feel like I let them down both personally and professionally. Hopefully we can move past that.”
