Jose Baustista has a bad habit and the team needs to stop copying it

Jose Bautista is a great role model on the field with his work ethics and undying interest in becoming a better player as he takes extra fielding practice to get better at fielding his position in Left field. When the Jays had a gaping hole the size of Canadian at third base last year until Brett Lawrie was ready Bautista took one for the team and played third base for 25 games and 48 games the season before work hard to steady the position for that time and 1 error at third base in 2011 after having 7 in 2010. He is also a leader with the bat because two and a half seasons he has gotten on base and crushed baseballs to leader charges to victories. The really only extremely bad habit he has is when he is struggling which has not been a lot over the hot spot of his career but since the 2011 all-star game until this month he has not been himself it maybe that dam home run derby (talk to Alex Rios about that) or pitchers simply started to pitch him differently and he had to make adjustments to his hitting zone. Either way when he has looked at a strike or a strike called he will walk away from the plate or turn to the home plate ump and given his two cents or just staring at him and when he called out on strikes he has had a lot to say to the ump and when he gets back to the dugout along with when gets under a pitch he will get frustrated and get made at his bat. When I started seeing this last season I only hoped that the rest of the team will not follow him in this habit as he has a tone of good qualities that Jays should pick up but this is a horrible quality and may fears have become reality as more and more Jays players are expecting the calls to go in their favor every time and right now they need to be walking on egg shells because the slightest thing is going against them. The reality is this season has been about nearly getting the job done but at the last moment faving it turn on them like in this past series in Tampa had a great chance to win the series but lost the last two games and had a chance last night to even the series with the Rangers but bullpen was missed managed and they lose in 13. Also their last home stand they go 4-3 and losing the last game when a 5-2 home was exactly what they needed and they had their chances in the two games against Tampa at home and lost both or the Royals/O's road trip of 4-3 which was a complete disaster as they swept as the Royals in four and then went to Baltimore and simply a game or two would of made the trip but they got swept and gained their fielding woes. Go Jays Go Tom Mehegan
