"I'm an emotional player and I play with a lot of passion. You throw at me, I'm not going to forget and if I get you right after, I'm going to enjoy it. And I did. I have no regrets about it." - Jose Bautista
I've never seen a guy that is not regarded as an all time great be able to respond like this. You hear stories of Kobe or MJ all the time of getting trash talked, then shutting everyone up, but when do you hear those stories about a player like Bautista? He is so underrated. It takes talent to respond to this level, only a few can do it.
If you play the video in reverse, fans sitting in the outfield stands show off incredible throws throwing strikes to Bautista who consistently lines out to the pitcher. The catcher then awkwardly throws the ball back to the pitcher from his glove 😂
@@austinbourdages actually, the batters somehow suck the ball into their bat in the form of an arc, as if gravity is in play despite the altered physics
One of the reasons I love this Jays team is that they respond to shit like this. You throw at someone's head, they run the score up on you. Bautista, Donaldson, Encarnacion... You piss any of them off, good luck.
+tanner hendriks Royals would have never won the World Series if it weren't for Will Harris and Tony Sipp. Game 4 ALDS. Top of the 8th. Luckiest inning ever
+Rhys Cruz In the end who executed? The Royals did. You can pick certain players or plays for all teams and say they should not have won because of it. Why can't the Blue Jays catch a pop fly? And after that why couldn't the pitchers get the other batters out?
+Rhys Cruz And the same can be said about the Blue Jays. Elvis Andrus committed 2 errors in the bottom of the 7th. Mitch Moreland committed another one. Erase those errors the game is different. Seems like you are butt hurt
can't believe we probably just watched him play his last in toronto. damn what a treat and an honour it's been to have him repping us for all these years. talented, passionate, never boring to watch, and despite the reputation he has in the media, a true class act. thank you for everything jose
Exactly, he has a weird knack for doing dramatic things at clutch times. Look at his first game back to Texas, went 2-4 and drove in 5 runs, one was a 3 run HR. Its too bad he's getting old now though and coming down from his prime it looks like. I'm actually shocked he didn't jack that HR off Bush in the bottom of the 9th when game was tied in the Texas series this past season. He's just not the same guy now though, age does that. But he was AMAZING.
I didn’t like him at all before he came to my team the Mets. He was a real team player, and played wherever he was told to and always gave 100’%. He had a great attitude and helped young players. He was accessible to the fans and was always smiling. All the love to him whatever he does the rest of his life
@@matthewbryant-baker7036Even as a Jays fan, that punch by odor was really awesome. Would love to see an ALDS rematch this year and bring back that rivalry
@Turd Furgeson LOL if you sucker punch someone you better send them to the ground, instead the Jays eliminated the Rangers in back to back years. You're clearly an angry Rangers fan. Suck it.
William Perryman The bat flip wasn't anything special dumbass, it was emotion built up over years of waiting for success, in a city that is finally getting it. It was nothing against Texas, it was for the Jays fans. The Rangers can't take a little bat flip? C'mon now. Maybe they should take lessons on winning playoff games instead of sucker punching Jose, for a little slide. We never had anything against the Rangers, but they seem to want a war.
Michael myers fan 1978 Okay there bud. By the way, it's *you and everybody*. I was also trying to make peace with a Rangers fan, by saying we mean no harm.
Critically 587 ???????????????? hes a lifetime .250 hitter "dafuck" are you saying???????? he was damn near out of baseball a few years ago, hes not good
Those were his bad seasons pre Toronto and two of the seasons with Toronto his season ended prematurely and hell this season he suffered another injury which left him out of action for a while
I also known you posted this before that, just and Indians fan poking some fun after all the stuff bats said. Great player, but made himself look like a fool.
+CD Highlights he did an interview before the 2010 season and they showed how he has changed his swing from his pirates days... it isnt juicing, hes passed all of his drug tests, its just practice and dedication
DragonRage 2257 And Jose isn't big at all. He's actually kinda skinny, He does have a little bit of muscle you can see when he wears t-shirts in practice but he's far from a juicer or big guy. He's proud of being natural though and he's against PEDs.
I was at that Jays/Orioles game back in April, the one shown at the end of your clip. Yeah Bautista got the better of them, but then he went and fucked everything up in the next inning by trying to gun down Delmon Young at first base, from right field. He wasn't even close, and ended up screwing up his shoulder. Been stuck at DH until today, and the team's defense has been pathetic without him. Sometimes pride gets the better of him, and it's cost the team. When he's on, though.......few are better.
Hey, no argument here, haha! It's been more about Donaldson, Edwin, Tulo and Price, though, than Bautista, who isn't really the focal point anymore I don't think. Still a really fun team to watch now, though! I managed to score some tix to next Friday, luckily enough, so that'll be awesome.
I remember when jose firat came here and he had some pop but was so inconsistany then he had that breakout year and took over, hes this generations goat blue jay he made an entire group of young people fans of baseball and the mlb should thank him because toronto now has the youngest attending people in the mlb and is almost always sold out
I believe after this season and post season Bautista should be given honorary Canadian citizenship. the id should have a picture of a bat mid flip. Jose too stronk
Bautista position is like hardcore but a real challenge too. Getting hit by incoming baseballs and taking home runs while telling the haters to go fuck off.... Not a bad way to be a example of perseverance.
Joseph Pena Absolutely! O,day the o dick started this after a K,and taunting him right after,then JB clobbers his meatball over the left field wall.Keep on going Jose.
Chuck Woods lol odor couldnt even knock him down with a free shot to the face. Man needs to start lifting before he goes up against a monster like bautista.
For all you people saying he got decked or ko'd or roped or whatever u gonna say, he didn't. He never fell. He was still standing. He never got knocked out. He's tough unlike others that could maybe not handle that kind of a punch.
I'm a Torotonian and this is one tough city to play for and it's sad!! Every team we have had that has a marquee player? When the player hits a slump.... they destroy them and gets traded. However when they play for the next team they turn into Fiyah 🔥🔥🔥 not out to offend anyone just giving you the truth!!
You can see here the slow development of Bautista's bat flipping technique. It evolved over the years until it reached the pinnacle against the Texas Rangers.
I loved Joey. I don't think the Blue Jays have ever had more passion than they did when he and Josh Donaldson were there. Fun teams to watch, for sure.
@@goonytunes4119 But for the most part Eddie was pretty composed. The guy was as cool as a cucumber. Nothing seemd to get to him. Never got too high or too low. Whereas Donaldson and Bautista wore their emotions on their sleeves. You always knew what they were feeling. Eddie was mostly flat....like a serial killer lol
@@jayp.6166 I miss that squad but I have high hopes for Bo and Vlad Jr carrying us into the future. I might not live in Toronto for much longer but I'll always be a Toronto sports fan 💪
people act like Bautista won the WS with his home run last year.. it was the ALDS, and not even a walk off.. both O's and Jays got eliminated in the ALCS by the Royals past 2 years so neither can talk shit
its funny how as soon as 2 guys get in a fight on the field the entire team from both sides has to go in. like seriously 2 or 3 guys from each team all you need to break up a fight.
Devin Smith When you're in a team, you get along with your teammates and at some point you see them as brothers or a 2nd family. So everyone will have each others backs
MaRTiiiNxD nothing to do with this teammate stuff, it's just a baseball thing, even if you don't like your teammates, you still have to walk out there, if someday they chnage the rule to NBA-like, where bench players aren't allowed to enter the floor, this "teammate" thing would just dissapear.
nappa antonio no. head hunting would increase. why would the pitcher think twice about throwing at someone when he knows the batter would be all by himself against 8 of his teammates who are already on the field?
