During the mid-2010s José Bautista was one of the most feared hitters in the league. He managed to lead MLB in homers in back to back years, made 6 consecutive All-Star games, and took home 3 Silver Slugger Awards. Often leading people to forget the struggles he faced throughout the early parts of his career including being on 5 different team’s rosters during one season…

Donaldson, Bautista, Encarnacion, Martin and Pillar. These were players that gave their all when playing. Body and soul. Truly passionate for the game and the will to win. These are the kind of players that build championships. Four great hitters and an unbelievable centre fielder. Then add in Tulo and the Jays offense was oh so scary and defensively fantastic. Great players have to be great 2 way players. I always think defensive stats are ignored too often.
I agree. Jeter was one of the best offensive SS ever but one of the worst defensive players ever
All but Tulo
I was pretty upset when Pillar went
@@brandon-ww3mu are you stoned? Jeter was nowhere close to one of the best offensive SS's ever! He had 40+ doubles one time, 20+ HRs twice, and drove in 100 runs 1 time. You need to take a look at HoF SS's and do some offensive statistical comparisons. Jeter's only offensive strong point is his .310 lifetime batting average, and his 3000+ hits. 20+ doubles and 15-20 HRs per season is a dime a dozen. I'd argue that the majority of the Jeter clips you continue to see talked about today, are defensive in nature. His jumping, spinning, off-balance throw from the hole, across his body, and the crazy backhanded flip for the tag at home on a runner, during the playoffs. Never liked the guy, he's in the AL East, so my problem with him is purely biased (not to mention the cheap af Jeffrey Maier over-the-wall catch during the playoffs), but his key attribute was being clutch. Dude did what his team needed almost every time they needed it. And that's something no one can argue about (unfortunately LOL)
And then Shapiro and Shatkins blew it
I miss those 2014-2016 Jays man
@emupike6 Definitely. They were almost as exciting as the '92 & '93 Blue Jays.
Cito Gaston is a genius hitting coach and Bautista is his #1 student. However, Gaston turned around many careers. WHen he arrived in '83 in TOronto suddenly a dozen Blue Jays started hitting who were pretty garbage before he arrived.
Yup he is a special kinda moron 🙄
2 time champ players love him dave steib stands by him ❤
Cito is a special person an so underrated
THEY were such a fun to watch man
I miss the 92 93 jays
Probably won’t end up making the hall of fame but that 6 year peak was so crazy that maybe he deserves it.
Its like Tim Lincecum's 7 year stretch. Legendary, but it won't get him into the HOF despite 2 Cy Youngs, 2 No-Hitters, and 3 WS Rings.
Lin is a HOF
its similar to Chris sale 7 year run, but the only difference is, chris sale may end up in the HOF if he can get the cy young this season the funny part he's the front runner after 4 years of injuries...
@@TheDjhoysebebe yh he's in the hall
Bautista is honestly overrated, in my opinion at least
i remember a jays commentator at the beginning of the season saying 'watch out for this guy, he's been tearing the cover off the ball in spring training', he hits a homerun that atbat. he went on to hit 50+ homeruns that year
Mans knew his stuff!
This guy revitalized baseball in Toronto. With Halladay being traded, the Jays needed a new superstar. Happy to see his name on the Level of Excellence when I went to Rogers.
Which never would have happened if diehard fans hadn't gone all in forcing them to do it! Atkins & Shapiro literally tried to give his # to any other player immediately after they didn't keep him ugh
#FireAtkins #FireShapiro
@JustMeELC sometimes heart beats skill. It's why leafs fans adore Tie Domi. He was heart and soul of our team behind Sundin
Infinite aura from the bat flip
cringe

José has provided me with more wonderful memories than any other Blue Jay. I've been a fan since 77 and he'll always be my favourite Jay.
When he hit 54 HRs that season seemingly out of nowhere, i remember there were whispers all around the league about him being tainted & on steroids. Random testing were done & the guy was clean.
Amazing what a minor tweak in your swing can do to your career.
"The villain of Baltimore" thats what us Orioles fans called him, but overall I love the guy, he followed me on twitter which is so badass
Not giving Anthopolous the keys to the kingdom has spoken for itself.
I don’t think Jays fans realize how good we have it with Atkins, and how Anthopolous was nothing special until he worked with the Dodgers, before the Braves stint. Atkins rebuilt a depleted farm to build up for the future, has made many great trades that were highly questionable at first (such as the Varsho trade which looks better and better the longer Moreno is a league average hitter), or trading Kikuchi for 3 of the Astros best prospects when Erick Fedde couldn’t get nearly as much of a return as a sub 3 ERA starter. Atkins has hit on many 1 year signings, such as Semien, Ray, Belt, and also threw 700 million at Ohtani, which he declined. It’s not his fault players didn’t develop like they should have
I remember being hot and cold with Double A. He gave us the 2015 season which erased any negative criticism I had towards him though. Hats off to him for moving the Vernon Wells contract, and signing Vlad Jr. on the way out.
@@tgorefanbrother….he traded away Hernandez, guerriel and moreno for what??? Defence which clearly doesnt win games. They fucking blow because of the defence first mentality. They did better when their defence was below average and hit above average. He has failed as a GM whether you like it or not. His plan failed, the players he trusted failed. 100% his fault? No…but he decided who he wanted on the field and it was the wrong choice and most people saw it coming
@@tgorefanLolololol you couldn't be MORE WRONG 🤦 This incompetent front office's failed approach for NINE YEARS, & refusal to address obvious issues THEY CAUSED because they were too arrogant to admit what anyone paying attention knew! 🙄
Stop embarrassing yourself lol. The Ohtani attempt was Rogers & totally related to the media company expanding into Asia NOT Atkins or Shapiro smh
@@ItBeNolanTho outside of 2015 people wanted AA's head. There was a huge AA should be fired right up till the trade deadline. A lot of revisionist history with him. He's made some really good moves as the GM of the Braves, but their core players were already in place before he got there. Also people wanted the barrio group broken up. Now they want them all back.
Most of my experience watching José Bautista was either during the playoffs or during his brief but eventful time with the Mets. I was actually surprised looking back at his Mets numbers how decent his offense was at that point.
All he did well as a Met was strike out...worst acquisition production of a star/power hitter since Jason Bay
I love your videos about this 2015 Jays team. Everyone on the team shared a love for winning and gave it their all on the field. This current team is unwatchable but your in depth player analyses of the golden days make me tear up every time.
As a Jays fan I remember I was waiting for him to fall apart and it just never happened. His swing was incredible.
for 6 of his 15 year career, otherwise he blew.
Ill never forget watching joey bats coming up and running the show for a month. Then steadily hitting homers for years before the jays had to let him go. They have seemed to realize the value in signing an older veteran but I think this man deverves his hype from the jays. The most memorable bat flip in mlb history, hittinf 50 HR in a deadball era and revatalizing a citys passion in their sport. Canada has swagger, but it was respectful, which is why I haven't met too many people who dont appreciate joey bats!!!!
That front office swap killed us
Yes that's why I don't watch them anymore
7:10 BRUUUUUH, the way your face changes lmao it got me. Great video, Bautista really had a hell of a prime
THE MOST ICONIC.... but I'm a Jays fan so I could be biased lol
ya think?
I've been watching the Blue Jays since 1983 and baseball itself since 1979, and in all that time, Jose Bautista is BY FAR, my favourite player ever! I'm almost 60 years old, and I sometimes have tears well up in my eyes when I think about or talk about the Bat Flip home run!
Other than Bonds, Joey Bats was the only other player that you could almost with regularity chalk up a home run ever x amount of bats. It was freaky how hot he got...
Rumour has it that it was conversations with Cito Gaston and Dwayne Murphy followed by another with Vernon Wells that kicked things off. Cito and Murphy wanted to get Bautista to start his swing early, he complained to Wells that he was starting early and didn’t know what Gaston wanted, Wells told him to start “ridiculously early then” and a lot of baseballs ended up in the stands that season.
Cito Gaston is a genius hitting coach and Bautista is his #1 student. However, Gaston turned around many careers. WHen he arrived in '83 in TOronto suddenly a dozen Blue Jays started hitting who were pretty garbage before he arrived.
Always loved Jose Bautista and miss him in the MLB. Playing MLB the show I used to love using Bautista. Always stay looking around to possibly get one of his cards added back into the game. It’ll forever be a wish. No cap, hope he gets put into the HOF
Good ole jays days. Team is such a let down now. Even with the Raptors chip the excitement of jays playoffs was just another level
Make sure to comment in the first 24 hours and I will make sure to respond to everyone who posts in the first 24 hours! And I'l try my best beyond that. Also this video took over 50 hours to make so I hope you enjoy :)
You did a great job on this video.. Thanks!
50 hours of your life that you'll never get back. Such a shame.
@@nik040271you replied to comments 17 times, all hating. what a fucking bum lmao
Atkins blew the jays up absolute useless gm
Yes
I rode Bautista to my fantasy league championship in 2010 because I picked him up off waivers when he had 3 home runs.
imagine him actually returning as a 2-way player
i'd rather not. A boxer/fighter he is not. His brief attempt at MMA didn't end well for him.
Let's not forget the great WS teams of the 90's: Roberto Alomar, Paul Molitor, John Olerud, Tony Fernandez, Joe Carter, Pat Hentgen, Al Lieter, Duanne Wade, and others!
Growing up I was never interested in baseball in anyway, but 2014 I moved & started watching the blue jays with my dad. still watch every season. I’ll never forgot the famous bat flip game & I believe if they just got passed KCR in the ALCS they would have won the World Series that year.
Great video! Your storytelling is top notch. Love from a Jays fan ❤️
Few things compared to the sound of that homerun in The Dome - Words can't even begin to describe the chest thundering loudness of that eruption - I still get goose bumps
Interesting take. One of the things that people don't know about Jose is that he's a genuinely great guy and he is very highly thought of. He wasn't so much unwanted more that he just couldn't find the right fit. The teams that 'didn't want him' helped him find another job because of how loved he is and what type of guy he is. They wanted to help him succeed. And when he found the right fit and worked his swing out, he did. Guys a legend.
That homerun and that bat flip (I love how he basically tossed the bat) is a top 10 Blue Jays moment.
let's gooo I'd been hoping you'd do a video on José! one of the most iconic names in canadian sports history
Man i miss those days, Jays legend. Watching him and Edwin was special, then when Donaldson came that offense was nasty
JBau a total legend, possibly my favourite Jay ever
The big key is that he got his left foot timing down. Cito Gaston and Gene Tenace worked with him on his timing, and switched him to RF to take advantage of his gun of an arm. Such a great player.
Favorite blue jay and baseball player ever as a kid growing up in toronto
For me favorite player in my 20s
That bat flip was a Canadian heritage moment
Bautista era was the last one I watched regularly. Haven’t tuned in to too many games since then
I remember getting in to baseball during Jose and Edwins primes
I love how Odor stopped him one day! Shut his ego down hard! WOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!!
Rather get punched in May than knocked out in October.
What a crazy career.
Loved Joey Bats.
Always played angry and I was all for it.
The mother of all bat flips.
Rougned odor may have stopped him…at least for a second.
ngl Grennlight, that segway into the ad read was clean
Also might jve to catch you at Fenway whenever that Jays Sox game is 😭
I just remember filling out my fantasy team in 2010 and somehow drafting this stud because he was projected to hit more home runs than the other players available
Nice trip down memory lane, with the receipts (stats) to explain what was happening. Coupla things missing - in 2010 everybody assumed Jose was juicing. It was a shock when he wasn't traded at the 2010 deadline. The fight with (and revenge against) Odor. His constant battle against the Orioles. The John Cena "can't see me" gesture when he threw a guy out from right field. But thanks!
love Jose , his eyes for the zone 2015 and before were top of the league
That 2015 team had so much swagger.
Premier content once again. Bravo sir! I hope during the offseason, you get a chance to revisit and reanalyze why and how Corbin Carroll turned it around too! Keep up the wonderful work!
Just stumbled onto this video. Great stuff! I was hooked
Injuries really robbed him during his prime also.. He was on a roll and would get hit with bad injuries. Great vid!
Great story brother. Made me shed a tear
I remember watching his pirates years as a young pirates fan and when he started having 40hr seasons i was just like "of course" typical pirates such a bummer
2015-2016 peak Blue Jays. I need that again
can't believe you didn't give the man who helped bautista become bautista any credit. *our world series winning manager recognized bautista's swing needed a tweak.* it was all because of cito!
nevertheless, good video! those texas series were bonkers!
Another eerily similar career path to Jose Bautista, is JD Martinez.
If those Jays teams had a Dave Stieb or Roy Halladay type ace, they would've won the World Series
i rarely comment on videos on youtube but this one was really well done. good job.
He hit absolute bombs too
Got him off the scrapheap, boy did he launch some rockets?😮
Jose Bautista definitely destroyed everyone.
You forgot to say anything about the most iconic bat flip in baseball history :)
As a MLB fan, the Odor punch was a beautiful thing.
As an Orioles fan, he's a little bish.
I've never seen a batter so good at hitting non-strike offerings out of the park. Pitchers literally couldn't pitch around him.
When the Red Sox played the Jay I was always worried about his power!
My favourite player. He made watching the Jays fun.
🎶 Jose jose jose joseee joooseee jooooseee 🎶
After this,this would be my third episode in one day
5 yrs 65m. This was in 2011. Shows you just how insane inflation has gotten...
Trying to show Bautista as the hero in that decisive game against Texas is misleading. Everyone knows the Blue Jays' hero in that game was Elvis Andrus.
great video man!
Saw the bat flip live, not even a baseball fan !
You can't talk about jays without mentioning Bautista or the 2015 Playoff run.
i love joey bats
Donaldson had great passion but struck out a lot which cost the jays a championship in my opinion. Jays need a lot of players who are consistent second base hitters to help get runs.
The beginning of Bautista's best period as a player coincided with the Blue Jays' worst era for uniforms
You can't convince me he didn't hop on the juice
That bomb in the ALDS was worth at least $65 million…
The most clutch jay of all time
Good video man. You got a new subscriber
i remember being sure this team was going to get a ws at some point sadly it wasnt to be but still alot of great years to be a part of as a fan i can only imagine what it was like the for the players and organization ....players like jose wont soon be forgotten... ps great vid well done ...subbed
just found your channel great video defiantly will be tuning in more
He's one of the reasons why I love Blue Jays
Will always be remembered as a Jays player who owned everyone
I wish I watched baseball early enough to see Bautista
BANGERRRR
YO PURELY YOUR HERE!!!! btw I love your vids keep it up! ❤🎉
@@lauramenendez1912 appreciate you legend 😎❤️
bautista had a few decent seasons. he ddint wreck the entire league any of those seasons. one playoff series doesnt make anyone an all time great player
The seasons hit led the league in hitting doesn't qualify as wrecking the league?
Nothing's suspicious about a guy Becoming the best hitter in baseball at twenty nine years old
The biggest mistake made in Blue Jays history is from Rogers ownership hiring Napkins and shitro
Jose Jose Jose Jose 👏🏻 Jose 👏🏻 Jose Jose Jose Jose Jose Jose
I literally am sleeping in the hotel in the Rogers Center and researched the home run
Why do I think if he were offered a manager job? He would probably take you with the Blue Jays apparently he knows how to find top tier talent
This was a very well made video. Good job
Yo was that pitch to giambi not a strike😭
Great video buddy!
He had a canon of an arm too
Joey bats created the most memorable bat flip in mlb history
and the most punchable face....just Ask Rougned Odor.
Great video! Keep up the good work
