ANtics Episode 2.30: Throwing Lumber A's Style

The topic of throwing bats, especially who did it and when, has been the subject of much discussion lately. But have you considered just how the bats are thrown? The A's have made this a new tradition, and it's spreading in the clubhouse. Some of the trendsetters show us how to throw lumber, A's style.

The Memorable Toss Award goes to
Delmon Young for his Line Drive Bat To the UMP's Chest.

Hehehe.
Love the Swish and Scoot panels.  :D
And the most memorable toss goes to Milton.  Not only did it lead to Macha carrying him off the field, (which was HILARIOUS!) but it led to a diary discussing what happened first -- Milton tossing the bat or getting ejected.  :)

The Marco panel...
...is amazingly... pachyderm. Can I use a term like that?

Oh, I thought you meant he took the ump out of the game by ENDING it on Friday. My bad, totally forgot about the other incident.

Asked where Zito's perfect fit would be, Hudson said, "Do they have a league on Mars?"
