With the tying runs in scoring position and 1 out, Bautista took strike one on a pitch that was low but all the way in the zone. After griping to the umpire, Joey Bats swung at a pitch up around his neck and another that bounced in the opposite batter’s box.

Still mad about the pitch that he didn’t swing at, which was the only one that actually was a strike, Bautista kept griping, got himself run out of the game, and then started throwing equipment on the field.

It was an immature display, to say the least, but one local baseball commentator liked what he saw.
