Jose Bautista's best moments from time with the Blue Jays

[@jeremy605]

Jose was loyal and brought excitement to this franchise and to baseball. When people complain about the bat flip I'm like are u kidding? He hit the second biggest homer of the franchise which he built from the ground up. When there used to be only several thousand people in the stands with a non-playoff jays team, he didn't get noise and recognition worldwide, but when he hit his loudest homer of his career with 40,000 people watching in the most epic 7th inning of the alcs deciding game, he flipped the bat instinctively as if to say, "Y'all didn't know? I'm motherfucking JOSE BAUTISTA and thats WHAT I DO." Much love from Toronto Jose, you'll always be a legend here.

Demar Dehoodman Everyone knew who Bautista was back in 2010 and 2011. You don't not know who the back to back HR leader is if you pay attention to baseball lol

[@TheExecutoriscoolerthanyou]

Demar Dehoodman no he did the bat flip to throw shade on the Rangers. Then odor returned the favor by socking Bautista

Probably the greatest Jay ever. Not many players ever came to Toronto and bought in like Jose did. Get him up on that Ring of Honour ASAP.

[@Outta-hz1ej]

Uhh. Joey Bats was incredible but did we forget about the teams that won 2 World Series? Molitor, Olerud, Alomar, Carter, Gruber those teams were stacked

[@kaymatthew6812]

@@Outta-hz1ej what does your comment have to do with mine? Read CAREFULLY, greatest Jay ever, not greatest team ever. The 90's team was stacked but Jose was doing it without much help for most his career. No player was more polarizing than Jose. The players in the 90s for the most part just passed through Toronto, but they built a team around Jose.

[@alrightbymondaymusic7441]

Me as a Blue Jay fan that first big year "Don't throw him inside cuz he'll kill your pitchers" Every team in baseball "Let's try to crowd him inside with a fastball" Result 54 home runs

[@Flexb123]

Everyone knows the batflip hr was one of the most epic bombs in jays history but that 2 HR game in another do or die in the ALCS vs KC was unbelievable. When you actually look, Jose accounted for 4 of the 6 runs in the game 5 vs Texas in the ALDS and then another do or die game the next round he accounted for every run the Jays scored that night. If only someone else contributed that game, Jays would have moved on to game 7. That ump still pisses me off in the top of the 9th with some very bad strike calls to kill them, while Jose the man of the night, who was locked in more than ever, was stranded in the batters box due up next.

[@mikepuppetz9]

[@Flexb123]

oh 100%. That batflip started a movement in baseball whether fans or other players admit it or not. Players started flipping bats and celebrating big moment HRs more than ever after that stemming the whole MLB logo "let the kids play" trying to make baseball fun again. There's a reason that batflip is referred to as the batflip heard around the world. And every big moment HR and celebration, batflip whatever is always compared to that one, its the benchmark.

[@rougedemoncollects5239]

Jose bautista is perhaps one of the best blue jays in franchise history. He is the man and a legend. I think the blue jays should retire his jersey number 19. He epitomized ounce a blue jay always a blue jay means . My favorite jose bautista moment is the amazing bat flip against the Texas Rangers. Wow what a badass.

[@masonmiller7284]

Absolutly, retire no. 19.

[@mebnt]

We should retire the #19 and make THAT bat flip a statue in Toronto's city center. He's a Blue Jays legend and deserves the honour. He almost single handedly made Toronto and all of Canada baseball land. There's a really good video about his career on youtube by Stark Raving Sports. The first 4 years of his career he was literally the 27th worse player in baseball history and ended his career as arguably the best power hitter of the 2010's. Remarkable career. He's my all time favourite player

[@Bolt3456]

[@tbird4172]

[@AboutHisBusiness777]

There was one he hit in Seattle I believe at the end of the 2016 season, and there were tons of jays fans there. It was a clutch home run, would have liked to see it here

[@notsauer]

I still remember having Joey Bats breakout 54 homer season on my first fantasy team. I saw he had 3 homers in the first week and picked him up after that. Probably the first guy in ESPN to pick him up.

[@Gameflyer001]

I was playing Yahoo fantasy baseball that season and I had noticed Bautista notched 10 HR by that point in the season, yet no one took him. My friend told me to take him, or else he would; I was resisting it initially as I wanted a 1B like James Loney (lol). In the end I picked him up, and he hit me another 44 HR and got me the lead in that category (I finished 3rd place overall with my friend right behind me).

[@Gameflyer001]

@@Flexb123 yes, I'm aware of the 10 HR September he had that season in 2009. It was however under new hitting coach Dwayne Murphy that he really focused on that swing and hit it big time in 2010-2011. The starting RF prior to Bautista moving there was Alex Rios.

[@lankan1]

Kinda underrated. People really forgot about how much of a beast he was In his prime

He was SO good vs Kansas City but the team couldn't convert. David Price didn't help that either... People remember Texas but he was clutch the next series vs KC.

[@PlutoTheSecond]

I agree. KC didn't beat Toronto in that series, Toronto ended up beating themselves.

[@Flexb123]

100%. most fans don't mention that game, Jose was so locked in and those 2 bombs were as clutch as they come. And I'm pretty sure Jose was on deck when JD grounded out to end that game. A real shame. But that 9th inning, don't tell me those umps weren't helping to dictate the jays fate. Those strike calls on Navarro and Revere were horrible. Runners on 2nd and 3rd, one hit would have had the lead for them. ugh. KC's offense was so red hot though, it felt like they were getting multiple hits most innings. And if we didn't have Dickie pitching game 4, and didn't blow game 2, when price choked with a 3-0 lead in the 7th I think it was, things would have been a lot different, just winning that 2nd game alone I think they would have taken the series, and no doubt they would've beat the mets.

@@tbird4172 Yea i remember, they gave him like 35 ABs. And he barely had any spring training. A little too quick on that release but truth is, Bautista was coming down from his prime in 2016. Basically he became a 1-5 hitter but with great ability to draw walks still. But that power and contact really dropped off in 2017 and 2018 season. What kills me is I didn't start becoming a fan of him until 2014 so kind of missed his best years although 15 was still pretty good.
