Updated: Trevor Bauer loses his drone in a tree, turns to Twitter for help

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Trevor Bauer is having some mechanical issues. No, his delivery does not have a hitch in it, but one of his drones is apparently stuck in a tree.

As anyone with a working internet connection and thousands of followers would be likely to do, he turned to Twitter for help.

Sooooo...suggestions on getting your drone out of a tree? It's stuck in the branches about 60 feet up at the top of a large tree

His first thought (obviously) was to knock it out of the tree with another drone, but as it turns out that one is not working.

To compound the problem, my backup drone that I brought on the trip is experiencing technical difficulties and is out of commission.

So he was left with what the internet wanted to suggested, which were about as great as you'd expect.

@BauerOutage try turning it on and off again

@BauerOutage Call Matt Underwood. He can overstate the height and impact of drone and tree. Then it won't look so bad

And my personal favorite:

@BauerOutage Throw a cat up there and call the Fire Department.

But alas, the tree is in a public park so acts of vandalism or summoning the power of wind are slightly frowned upon.

Appreciate all the suggestions. The tree is in a public park though so fire and chainsaws aren't going to cut it. Pun intended

He didn't even need a flamethrower or chainsaw to do it (sadly). For a detailed explanation of how the drone was recovered, check out this video posted by Trevor yesterday.

To be honest, I'm kind of surprised that "throw a baseball at it" was not the first idea.
