Trevor Bauer attorney Shawn Holley's cross-examination, on the heels of an emotional first day highlighted by the woman's graphic portrayals of Bauer's alleged assault, focused largely on the woman's text messages with Bauer and members of her inner circle, some of which were not part of her initial declaration. Those messages, Bauer's attorneys allege, depict the woman either making fun of Bauer; expressing an ulterior motive, most notably when she tells a colleague she has her "hooks in" and "can get in his head"; and having no illusions of an "intimate relationship" with Bauer, one of the state's prerequisites for a domestic violence restraining order.

The woman began to cry when Holley said, "I have a couple of questions that I think are relevant. I'm not asking this question because I am slut-shaming you, not at all."

The woman continued to cry as Holley questioned her about a text message exchange she had with someone the woman described as a former friend. In the texts, she referenced San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr., whom the woman said she had a sexual relationship with in 2019. When Holley asked to identify the subject of another text message that read, "Trevor is a wackadoodle like Clev," the woman cried harder and responded, "I don't need to answer that."

"He doesn't need to be brought into this," the woman said.

The judge told her she did need to answer the question, to which she said she had a sexual relationship with Padres pitcher Mike Clevinger in October 2020. A representative for Clevinger declined ESPN's request for comment; a representative for Tatis had not responded by the time of publication.

Near the end of the day, Holley introduced a text message exchange between Bauer and the woman that took place between the first and second sexual encounter. Holley said the exchange shows the woman never expressed displeasure to Bauer about their first encounter and indicated she wanted rough sex, including being choked and hit.

In the texts, the woman says, "Gimme all the pain. Rawr." Holley asked the woman why that message, and others in that exchange, were not included in the original declaration.

"In light of the fact that you were providing to the court a narrative about rough sex performed on you by Trevor, did you not think it was of critical importance to tell the judge that you asked for it?" Holley went on to ask.

The woman started to answer that she never asked to be "punched all over my body to the point where I had to be hospitalized" before her attorney objected to the question.

The judge allowed Holley to proceed with her question. Holley asked: "Did you not think that it was of critical importance to let the court know that you asked for sex to be rougher and harder and that you had never been more turned on? Did you not think it was important to let the court know that?"

"No," the woman responded.
