Are you f***ing kidding me Bautista? Man... Where does the "he's a good outfielder" narrative come from? Great arm, but f*** man, read that ball TERRIBLY
The only thing I can think (other than f*** umpires) is that he thought he didn't have full control of the ball because it was a bit snoconed, but that was still inexcusably bad.
I would have been perfectly fine with saying "No thanks" if that was Dickey's demand. I hated that trade from day one, and I'd have loved ANY excuse to get out of it.
