I finally gave in and Googled it. Lots of material on the Internet about Bautista's injury and his participation in the HR derby. Try Sportsnet.ca.

Gary Bettman has a personal vendetta against Canada and all Canadian Teams....
He made a secret pact with the Illuminati to keep any Canadian Team from winning the Stanley Cup....Have you not wondered why no Canadian Team have won since Bettman has been in charge?
Now his reach has extended way past the NHL and he's sabotaged Canadian teams in the MLB and NBA....
He has also attempted to screw Canada out of the Olympic medal count - he made sure our top Olympians choked, came up short or got disqualified (like our 4 x 100 relay team and the Women's Soccer team)....
Rockslinger has been warning us about Bettman for years....
I think its time we listened....Really listened....
Shack is a one of Rockslinger's converts...And is now helping Prophet Rockslinger to spread the word.....
"Beware the Bettman"!!!!!

Actually, our friend Shack has been banned from posting until a Canadian team next wins the Stanley Cup. Just kidding! Hee, hee, hee.
Getting back to the Blue Jays. This season is an unmitigated disaster. Might as well play the kids. Query: Why oh why did Rasmus think he needed a lead off 3B last night? If that ball had gone for a single, he could have trotted the 90 feet from 3B to home. Instead, he gets doubled off. That run was critical in a one run lost.
It was a line drive not a fly ball. I was disappointed but I don't think it was a mistake on Rasmus's part. Now his hair, that has to be a mistake. That's a bad haircut in Ontario and Alabama.
Bettman created Celine Dion and Avril Lavigne. Just because he hates Canada and wanted us to suck at music.
Only two things can happen with a line drive - it is either caught or not. If it is caught, why take a lead off 3B and risk getting doubled off? If it is not caught, Rasmus can trot the full 90 feet from 3B to home plate --- no need to take a 3 foot lead.
P.S. If it was a fly ball, he should stay at 3B and tag up if warranted.
Unfortunately for your "hindsight is 100% correct" theory, not one player in MLB would be parked on the bag in that situation. Every player would take a slight lead with the possibility that a hard liner might catch them.
I suppose if he stayed on the bag but got thrown out at home on a grounder you'd be all over his case for that as well.
Not only me, but the Sportsnet TV guys also said Rasmus "f--ked up'. Young Colby forgot to read the player's handbook on running bases.
That play happened fast and I'm sure Colby had a lead to begin with, so unless you want him standing on the bag waiting for the pitch he did nothing wrong. Could be you and the Sportsnet TV guys are wrong...again.
Don't take my word for it. Ask any respected baseball man (or woman) and they will tell you that young Colby screwed up.
Or, won 3 of the last 4 and all against teams higher up in the standing (which is every team). Glad the Jays are not folding their tent and going home. On the other hand they are playing with no pressure, so they can be loose.
Awesome finish to the game tonight. That final play brought me out of my seat with a fist pump!
On the other hand, they are beating teams where games do mean something (for the other team). Our guys are playing for next year's contract.
