Cleveland Indians poke fun at Blue Jays over Bautista’s ‘circumstances’ comment
TORONTO — The Cleveland Indians are having some social media fun at the Blue Jays’ expense, with Jose Bautista the latest target.
The Toronto slugger, who went hitless in the first two games of the American League Championship Series won by the Indians, seemed to make a thinly veiled criticism of the umpiring in his comments to the media Monday.
“All you’ve got to do is look at video and count how many times Indians pitchers have thrown pitches over the heart of the plate. It hasn’t been many,” Bautista said. “They’ve been able to do that because of the circumstances — that I’m not trying to talk about, because I can’t.
“That’s for you guys to do. But you guys don’t really want to talk about that, either.”
