Rangers’ Derek Holland on ‘tired act’ Jose Bautista: ‘I don’t like him’

Texas Rangers pitcher Derek Holland didn’t hold back while launching a blistering criticism of Jose Bautista during a recent appearance on KRLD-FM 105.3, calling the Toronto Blue Jays right fielder a “tired act.”

Holland’s disdain for Bautsita is hardly surprising since he and his teammates were on the other side of not only the Blue Jays slugger’s game-breaking home run in a series-clinching ALDS Game 5, but also his bat-flipping antics that followed.

Holland said he actually thought Bautista was a “fairly nice guy” that he “respected” before the bombastic bat-flip, but is now left soured by how the Blue Jays star carries himself.
