Jose Bautista

The Cleveland Indians are up 2-0 in the American League Championship Series, and they’ve about had it with Jose Bautista’s excusemaking.

Their Twitter account kept prodding at Bautista on Monday, and they even asked fans to chime in on what they expected Toronto’s next defense to be.

We've had sign stealing and circumstances.

POLL: What will our opponents' next excuse be? #RallyTogether

— Cleveland Indians (@Indians) October 17, 2016

If you missed it, Bautista blamed “circumstances” for putting his team in a 2-0 hole. It was likely a shot at some of the umpiring in the series, but don’t expect Cleveland to have a lot of sympathy. They’ve played great baseball and Toronto hasn’t hit at all. That’s why the series stands where it does.
