Manny Machado Misses In Alleged Intentional Bat Toss

((HT: MLB/MASN))

The Baltimore Orioles Manny Machado thought he was thrown at by the Oakland A's Fernando Abad IN A 10-0 GAME THEY WERE LOSING IN...

So, on the next pitch Machado decided to work the hammer throw...


Machado and Abad both got tossed and Oakland won 11-1

No word on if there will be any more discipline from the league...

This comes on the heels of Machado prompting the benches to clear Friday night. He took offense to a swipe tag by the A's Josh Donaldson, threw his helmet down, said lots of angry words which was enough for the dugouts to empty before Machado was steered away.

The two incidents combined, yeah, that might the attention of the powers that be...

Best Bat Flip Ever (Korean Version)

Okay, yeah, in Major League Baseball this bat flip would likely have caused a brawl or at least brought Brian McCann out to block home plate.

Check out this reaction to a big bomb in a Korean Professional Baseball League game.

Don't know the batters name and we aren't sure it really matters. Just watch what happens after he makes contact.

That and Korean baseball play-by-play is awesome:

Why The Marlins Are The Marlins

((HT: MLB.com))

And they will always be the Marlins...
Just watch...


Okay... let's analyze for a second...

First, the decision was to intentionally walk Anthony Rendon to face Jayson Werth...
Rendon was walked to load the bases for a veteran power hitter...

Carlos Marmol thought he could get a 94-miles per hour fastball past Werth...
Not 98 or 99, but 94...
Over the fat part of the plate...

The Marlins deserved their fate from the decisions made in the dugout...

And they deserved the utter comtempt of Werth's bat flip...
Watch it again...


Werth's bat mowed the grass with his bat's disdain...

A disdain for all the decisions made leading up to the 0-1 pitch that ended the Marlins hopes on the road last night...

As it should have been...
