Bautista takes issue with stance of Yost

TORONTO -- Though he was prepping to take the field to open a four-game series against the Twins on Monday, Jose Bautista had some residual feelings about the Blue Jays' recent series against the Royals -- specifically the spark-filled finale on Sunday afternoon that featured cleared benches, wars of words, hit batsmen and multiple ejections.

While home-plate umpire Jim Wolf was widely criticized by Toronto for the way he handled the contentious affair, he received praise from Kansas City manager Ned Yost. That didn't sit well with Bautista.

The Blue Jays slugger took to Twitter on Sunday night to voice his disagreement with Yost's assessment, and he reiterated those feelings to reporters on Monday.
