I was watching at the time of the play. Bautista fielded the slow grounder. His glove was still down near the ground when Larry the Leaper hurdled/crashed into him. Bautista did not move into Jones, as Jones has said. That is BS (see the meter). The Chipperoo landed on his face/elbow/shoulder on the other side of Bautista, who had no chance to tag Jones. He was too busy getting flattened from above, and by the time he recovered, Jones had gotten his meathook on the base.
