Curt Schilling wants the world to know that bloody pitching performances are Passion's Peak (2002)his thing.
The former Red Sox pitcher played through an ankle tendon injury in Game 6 of the 2004 American League Championship Series. His gritty performance — which helped Boston reach the World Series and win it for the first time in almost 100 years — and subsequent bloody sock are etched in baseball lore.
So when another postseason pitcher gushed blood on Monday, Schilling comparisons ensued, and the 49-year-old wasn't happy about it.
Cleveland starting pitcher Trevor Bauer exited Monday's ALCS Game 3 with a bloody finger, which he suffered while fixing a drone last week. Fans couldn't help but note the comparisons, particularly because the 2004 Red Sox and the 2016 Indians have the same manager, Terry Francona.
Curt Schilling had the bloody sock game... Time for Trevor Bauer to have the Bloody Finger game. #RallyTogether

Unlike Curt Schilling, Trevor Bauer isn't a jobless has-been with ketchup on his sock https://t.co/f6kTuUghnI pic.twitter.com/yMZfLLegXk

But the notoriously outspoken Schilling didn't appreciate it.
Please don't tweet at me about Bauer.He cost himself a start, likely more, AND his teammates, and fans, dicking around with a drone. #stupid

Schilling has a point. Their performances are nothing alike.
Bauer's injury did force him to exit Monday's game after only 21 pitches, while Schilling tossed seven innings and allowed one run in his bloody sock game. Still, the Indians' dominant bullpen saved the day, and brought Cleveland within one game of reaching the World Series.
But this is coming from a guy who's compared Muslims to Nazis and made anti-LGBT remarks, so we'll just chalk it up to Schilling being Schilling.
