It was a low risk move with upside. I liked it. But he's done.The signing never made sense. Bautista couldn't play 3rd and he can barely hit either. Sucks for him but I'm glad we didn't drag this out longer than needed.
It was a low risk move with low upside (Jose wasn't good at the plate last year and hadn't played full time 3rd base in years) that wasn't needed on a team that was getting decent production at 3rd base already.It was a low risk move with upside. I liked it. But he's done.

Not even the best Blue Jays playoff moment.He's done sadly. His bat speed is painful to watch. Barely has any power (only hit the 2 HR in 41 AB, which accounted for 33% of his hits on the season) and that's assuming he can actually make contact.
I thought maybe we'd see a bit of the old Joey Bats based on the fact his ego/will would not allow him to suck, but sadly father time always wins.
Still has a hell of a career to look back on. Not to mention one of the best moments in blue jays and maybe even playoff history.

So then what did he mean by maybe in playoff history??I think that's why he said one of...

That it was one of the best moments in Blue Jay history. Possibly also one of the best moments in MLB history. First statement is easily correct. Second one is at the very least debatable.
Not sure what you're nitpicking here?
There's absolutely no debate. It wasn't anything close to the best postseason moment ever. That's what I'm nitpicking.That it was one of the best moments in Blue Jay history. Possibly also one of the best moments in MLB history. First statement is easily correct. Second one is at the very least debatable.

So what did you think he meant? One of the best in Blue Jays history but the absolute best in MLB playoff history?So then what did he mean by maybe in playoff history??
The statement itself is a contradiction, but I chose to ignore it and focus on the egregious part. No doubt Bautista's homer was huge but it doesn't even sniff Joe Carter off Mitch Williams from his own franchise, let alone mlb history.So what did you think he meant? One of the best in Blue Jays history but the absolute best in MLB playoff history?
Anyways no doubt a top 3 in Jays history, that much is fact but how the hell did he get picked up? And quick?
