Agreed. He answered the bat flip question as well as he could.strek1 said:Good comments by Bautista. That was a keeper for him for his entire career.
That was Buehrle? I thought it was Cecil that got ejected.hbk72777 said:"Mark Buehrle, who isn't even on Toronto's postseason roster, was the only player ejected."
Man, this had everything didn't it? I missed a good one

I think it was Saunders. Too thin to be Buehrle I think.hbk72777 said:"Mark Buehrle, who isn't even on Toronto's postseason roster, was the only player ejected."

Top 7th, Martin's throw back to the pitcher is deflected by Shoo's bat, ruled (correctly it seems) a live ball, Odor scores from 3rd, Texas leads 3-2. Fans throw shit on the field, Gibbons protests.
Bottom 7th, Hamels gets 3 outs, all are dropped by infielders, bases loaded, no outs for the Jays. Next batter up they get a force at home (and Texas tries to get a double play called on the slide). Next batter is Donaldson, who hits a pop up that should have been caught by Andrus but wasn't. No infield fly, they do get a force at 2nd. Next batter is Bautista, hits a towering 3 run HR, pimping it the hell up.
Benches cleared twice.
Inning lasted 53 minutes (top and bottom).
I'm sure I missed something.

I'm quoting this from way back, but I could not agree more. A friend of mine on facebook (who played D1 ball and overall is a pretty good guy) said that Bautista deserves one in his ear every at bat for the rest of his career (he's a Yankees fan). I basically said, "if you can't bat flip there, when can you?" He told me it was embarrassing and that I've been watching Papi for too long.CaptainLaddie said:Who gives a flying fuck if Bautista pimped his homer? He just hit the second biggest homer in franchise history. That was incredible theatre. Grow up, asshats. These fans are fired up, screaming, going bananas. This is awesome.
They hadn't won a playoff game at home since 1993. Its a big deal. Its the biggest homer Bautista's ever hit. You people are joy kills.KillerBs said:Bautista gonna get buzzed a few times for that. And there will be more than a few Jays opponents trying to top that bat flip for years to come.
They won a f'in LDS on 3 Rangers errors. Big deal.
ESPN Box score says 2 players ejected:hbk72777 said:"Mark Buehrle, who isn't even on Toronto's postseason roster, was the only player ejected."

Pure emotion. You kick everyones ass in the regular season then go down 2-0 in the ALDS and in Game 5 your down for most of the game. I think even JD cracks a smile.mikeford said:They hadn't won a playoff game at home since 1993. Its a big deal. Its the biggest homer Bautista's ever hit. You people are joy kills.
He will get one near the ear flap the next time these guys meet I fearBoSox Rule said:Anybody upset at Bautista is a moron
I think the only thing you missed was the popup should have been caught by Odor, not Andrus.trekfan55 said:Wouldn't know where to start.

Can't it be both? No doubt Texas coughed it but the Jays had to take advantage .. And what advantage they took!InsideTheParker said:This was a game lost by the Rangers' defense. Elvis Andrus must be crying now. How could he not be? (Unless he was paid off, which I don't think he was.) But the Toronto fans will undoubtedly see it as a glorious victory.
Andrus has to be absolutely devastated. He single handedly handed the Jays three extra outs. Bautista never gets to the plate if not for him botching all those plays (not that inning at least).InsideTheParker said:This was a game lost by the Rangers' defense. Elvis Andrus must be crying now.

I've seen numerous people say this and I don't get it. It was a bad throw by Martin and the just outcome. If they had overturned it because the ump called time, that would have been worse by far. The runner was going to score legally because Martin made a sloppy throw. It's no different than if he had throw it over the pitcher's head and the runner had scored.Rochacha75 said:
