Blue Jays showing some frustration in Atlanta tonight en route to losing their third straight to the Braves. Kevin Pillar called Jason Motte "f@ggot" after striking out on what he deemed a quick pitch and benches briefly emptied. (Pillar apologized after the game for his "immaturity" -- I wonder if the league will take any action). Then Jose Bautista hit a meaningless late home run and did his bat flip shtick, and at the end of his trot got into it a bit with the Braves' catcher and benches briefly emptied again. After the game Eric O'Flaherty, the pitcher Bautista hit the HR off, said: "I'm surprised he's ready to fight again after what happened last year." Presumably referencing the infamous Ruffneck Odor punch that sent Jose's shades and helmet flying every which way.
Could be an eventful series finale Thursday night!
