Both rejected the idea that players should conform to pre-set notions of how to behave on the field. “It’s kind of hard to just go about everything, especially exciting things, and just sit there with a poker face like nothing’s happening,” Bautista said Thursday. “I don’t even think that’s in human nature.” Stroman was scheduled to pitch four innings Friday, but he was more efficient than expected, so the Blue Jays sent him out for the fifth.…
