Your comment confuses cause and effect. I dislike him because of how he plays. I don't like how he plays because I don't like him. I'm not a "Jays fan". I don't have a favourite team. I like to see the Blue Jays, Mariners, A's, and Braves do well. I have no agenda against Bautista except how he plays.

The guy has the second highest walk rate in the entire league and he's a "me-first" batter? Makes total sense. He's also in the top 30 for not swinging at pitches outside the strike zone (out of 150 qualified batters). So selfish.
I love when someone has an axe to grind with a superstar and chooses to cherry-pick some obscure, small sample size stat to make their point. And I love it more when they get the stat wrong - Bautista is actually .333 in six whole at-bats with the bases loaded this year.
