I remember people saying, when he signed that crazy contract, that it was mostly for his defense (and his age, which I think was 25 when he signed), and that his average offense plus insanely good defense would make it a good deal for Texas. James Duthie is joined by TSN staffers Lester McLean, Sean 'Puffy' Cameron and a special guest each episode to chat sports and just about anything else. Baltimore took him.

That is a crazy thing to happen, that a very fast runner was forced out at second on a single.

One-hundred-fifty years of baseball, we’ve seen throws kill birds, we’ve seen relievers brought to the plate in little cars shaped like baseball caps, we’ve seen a pitcher throw a no-hitter on LSD, we’ve seen a 3-foot-7 person draw a walk, we’ve seen closers choke stars, but WE’VE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE.

Bautista steps up to the plate, and everybody’s spent from the ridiculousness of the previous half hour. / Toronto Blue Jays' Jose Bautista celebrates a three-run home run during the seventh inning of Game 5 of the American League Division Series against the Texas Rangers in Toronto on Wednesday, October 14, 2015. He was the God of Third Base Defense, and everybody loved him except for Hermes, who was a total jerk anyway. tag.Name }}. Instead: Texas shortstop Elvis Andrus boots it. He followed it with the bat flip. * – Warning: This is a sad-old-guy-with-young-daughters’ effort at a hip reference. One for the history books.

That is insane!

PT I mean, at that point do people pour out of the stands wearing masks and carrying hockey sticks? With the flip, Bautista created an image that rivals … Also there is going to be a 20-minute video of people touching his head and him freaking out and I will watch it 1,000 times.

And, as you noted, the rule — rule 6.03a, as we learned — is literally an EXACT description of what happened. The game is tied, the crowd has no idea what to even be feeling.

{{ The 34-year-old outfielder highlighted his handiwork with a monstrous flip of the bat. We all, as a society, have to agree on this.

The question for us, going forward, is: Was this game weirder? But, really … miss the bat. It is a Bat Flip.

It shouldn’t be done.”, Sam Dyson: 'Jose, you gotta calm down.' But think of the number of things that had to happen for him to hit the bat. I don’t mean there’s a vague rule that is sort of, kind of, squint-your-eyes applicable.

TSN5, Today at In case you were wondering, the bat did land.

I mean, he didn’t, I just made that up, but it would’ve surprised you, right? Then it isn’t. You’re supposed to shake off getting hit by a pitch and take your walk. Baseball rules are like: “There was an A’s-Yankees game in May of 1933 and this insane thing happened and we made a rule to cover that exact situation.” I’m actually surprised it didn’t say: RULE 6.03a: If Russell Martin tries to throw a ball back to a relief pitcher in a tense 7th inning of a deciding playoff game and Shin-Soo Choo is doing that weird thing where he holds his bat out directly in front of him like a divining rod and Martin’s throw bonks off his bat and rolls away, Odor is allowed to score from third.”. But Canadians are flying into the city from the Northwest territories to watch these games. But think of the number of things that had to happen for him to hit the bat. The display of emotion in a baseball game should not be taken as some kind of violation of WASP proprieties but an organic human reaction to the joy of making beauty.

So, bottom of the inning, Russell Martin leads off — yes, Mike, how often do you see it, a catcher hits a bat with a throw back to the pitcher allowing a run to score thanks to a correct interpretation of Rule 6.03a and then leads off the next inning?

A great question for someone less lazy than me to figure out: How many times in baseball history have teams made three errors on three consecutive plays? https://t.co/10zA0EhWg5, — Adam Weinstein (@AdamWeinstein) October 14, 2015, live reenactment of Bautista's bat flip https://t.co/nhmfao5zMj, — Adam Himmelsbach (@AdamHimmelsbach) October 14, 2015. I mean, shouldn’t we have seen it all by now? You’re supposed to run out every ball, even fly balls you know are outs.

This content is imported from YouTube. Martin catches the ball, briefly checks the runner at third. So bases loaded, nobody out. Sure. Six thousand words now.

With the flip, Bautista created an image that rivals … But no one is happier than Elvis Andrus for all of the bonkers stuff that happened, because when you clear all that away, he made two inexplicable errors (and was unable to corral a tough but corral-able throw for the third error). ET

ET That context is what lifted the seventh inning out of the ordinary course of sports into something altogether stranger and more powerful. Both the most- and least-surprising aspect of that moment was that baseball has a rule for it. The Blue Jays were not truly a national team.

I think it’s awesome, frankly, and if you can’t enjoy Joey Bats, who had that crazy itinerant baseball life and then found a home in Toronto, and who is the soul and beating heart of this team — a team which hasn’t been in the postseason in 22 years and which has brought sports life and sports relevance back to one of the world’s great cities — and whose team went down 0-2 at home to a clearly inferior team and then stormed back on the road and gutted out two big wins and then went back to Toronto, fell behind early, scratched their way back to even, then went down by a run on one of the weirdest plays in postseason history, then loaded the bases on three errors and had a guy forced at home and then only scored one run and had a guy thrown out at second on a single to the outfield … if you can’t enjoy Joey Bats flipping his bat towards his own dugout in a badass and life-affirming and glorious and barbaric yawp of baseball excellence after hitting a home run in that situation, then I feel bad for you. Toronto Blue Jays' Jose Bautista flips his bat after hitting a three-run home run against the Texas Rangers during the seventh inning of Game 5 of the American League Division Series in …

Why do we ask baseball players to bury their emotions like students in a seminary? I mean, the Tom Brady part I disagree with, but the rest is dead on. Toronto Blue Jays' Jose Bautista hits a three-run home run during the seventh inning of Game 5 of the American League Division Series against the Texas Rangers in Toronto on Wednesday, October 14, 2015. So now, it’s beyond lunacy.

But let’s be bluntly honest: There’s no doubt at least a small part of Gibbons had to be thinking: “Um, Russell, love ya man, great leader, great catcher, great Canadian, but how about missing the bat when you throw the ball back to the pitcher?” Sure, I know, it’s a fluke, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing (literally — Martin said he’d never done it before). With the hit, Bautista helped send the Blue Jays to the American League Championship Series. Instead, with no warning whatsoever, he comes back to Toronto and hits 54 home runs. / Russell Martin … it just seems so strange to me that in a game as ancient as baseball, players can still do things that stun you.
