my brother has hated bautista for years for being a bitch, and I'm starting to agree

he keeps whining about strikes, and goes against canada in the mexico vs canada game

if we traded him for good return, I'd be fine with it


i never liked him ever since he came over. i was a johny mac fanatic and always though his bat would come around if he got to be a regular, but no, they always brought in someone to take his position including davd fucking eckstein who was awful. bautista cut into johny macs playing time and my brother and i have hated him ever since lol. i just find him over rated even with the 2 seasons he had. coming over. wish he could hit above .250 with RISP, think hes like .230 since joining the team

but i dont really want to see him leave the team. hes a fan favorite, good leader, has fun in the dugout, keeps it loose, etc. also like how hes always talking to someone if they're having a rough go. he will never be a favorite for me, but i dont want him gone either. if he stops thinking hes gods gift to hitting i might start to like him more.

From 1977, (Since the Blue Jays organization started) to this day, 2013, John McDonald has been the worst offensive player that the Blue Jays have EVER had, with a minimum of 1000 Plate Appearances -- Yes, even worse than Alfredo Griffin. He got a chance to become a near-regular in 2007 and he was shit. If you honestly think he would even put up marginally-shit numbers offensively, you're delusional. He has got well over 1,400 plate appearances with the Jays in his career and he has barely clipped .600 OPS...To put that into perspective for you, Adam Lind's 2012 season, as horrible as it was, is far greater than what McDonald would ever put up offensively in his life.

Don't give him too much credit, he got playing time because we never had a good shortstop during his stretch here. You would be a better batter than him, and many pitchers are probably better batters than him.
More than 60% of his career Atbats were 9th in the lineup for a reason. I know he is shit, the organizations that had him knew he was shit, but he did play well defensively, and fans wanted to watch him for his glove work.

Living in the past
Inferior to Korea in every possible way
Threatens to take away our land and rape our women, yet inferior in army so can't do shit but cry and bitch in their little island waiting out the days earthquakes, tsunamis, nuclear pollution destroys their country


Except they conquered Korea and would still have it if not for the Americans and Russians.

LOL good work guys for hating on the guy that single handedly made Blue Jays baseball relevant for the last 4 years.

Looks like someone's jealous of the superior asians. It's common for non-Japanese asians to be envious of their island neighbours.

lol@macdonald the only reason he got playing time was because of his great defensive, and he never showed signs of his bat coming around

I think bautista is frustrated more than anything because he hasn't been hitting all that great, but yea he needs to stfu
