Indians' Twitter trolls Bautista after misplay leads to 1st run

The Cleveland Indians' social media team has taken the gloves off.

Toronto Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista alluded Sunday to certain "circumstances" causing him trouble at the plate early on in the series. After the right fielder failed to make a catch that led to the Indians' first run of Game 3 on Monday, the club's Twitter account took its first - but not last - jab at Bautista.

With two outs and a runner on first, Mike Napoli hit a long fly ball to right that bounced off Bautista's glove, allowing the run to score.

Bautista led off in the bottom half of the inning and was called out on strikes, prompting another response.
