I love seeing questionable positions backed with legitimately impressive reasoning.

People are acting like this bitching and moaning is somehow out of character for Bautista. It’s not. Watch him every single time he strikes out looking.

The Indians social media team has been on point all season long.

At the very least, the network’s logo could be a silhouette of Bautista getting punched. Here’s a quick mockup.

That TV network will work if it features the one thing people like Bautista to do — get punched.

Bautista is lowering expectations. He never expected to make it this far. He wants to lose, but he doesn’t want it to be his fault. After the series is over, Bautista is going to launch his own television network.

“All you have to do is go look at video and try to count the number of pitches they have thrown over the heart of the plate,” Bautista said. “It hasn’t been many. They’ve been able to do that because of the circumstances — that I’m not trying to talk about because I can’t. That is for you guys to do, but you guys…

Bautista’s Twitter rant continued: “These Indians are off the reservation; working with crooked umps but failing Deadspin ignores. SAD. We will fix. #MCGA”

He’s always been a goddamn crybaby; this is just the latest display of his immaturity. I wonder if he likes a certain Orange Person running for President? I guess the series must be “rigged.” Piss off, Joey.

It’s true. Every time that GIF crops up I’m thankful again that I get to enjoy watching such a perfect haymaker.

I love baseball. I love stat driven analytics. But I dont understand how/why sites like fangraphs continue to underrate the Rangers and those in the know insist the Astros are a better team. Maybe I’m just a homer.

He needs to get this whole “sucker punch” definition together, too.

That’s the problem I’ve always had with Bautista. He’s mouthy. Up until last year, he played on middling teams that barely sniffed a pennant race but you’d have thought his Blue Jays were perennial winners.

I agree with doing in game 1 in Arlington if you were going to do something intentionally. However, I don’t blame them for not doing it in Toronto based the fan reaction to the Russell Martin throw off Choo’s bat last offseason.

You left out the [complains about every strike that he doesn’t swing at].

I’m with you on a lot. But where Gibbons, and the rest of the Blue Jays, lose me is this nonsense about how the Texans should have done it. Especially when their own guy decided the proper recourse was a pretty nasty take-out slide. If it was handled so poorly and deserved a physical reaction and all this trash talk,…

Let it be decreed that henceforth when the name Jose Bautista is said, no more will I think of a bat flip. I will think of his head swiveling from Odor pasting this pathetic palooka with a powerful paralyzing perfect pachydermus percussion punch.

Blue VaJayjays

[Bat flips to end all bat flips]....

I would never call a team that employs Prince Fielder “gutless.”
