Thanks for sharing. That was a riot and I'm sure I'll see it all over the feeds when I get to work today.

My favorite part was him going commando and crawling up to the rosin bag and hurling it like a grenade. :clapping

Priceless.

I quite enjoyed the perfection with which he covered up home plate.

Should've known you would reset the Asheville incident.

The Astros wasted no time booting him after that incident.

that is ridiculous. he went way way too far. what in the world was the point in taking up the bases? and crawling up on the rosin bag?
i sure am glad that isn't my coach. i'd hate to see what he does when he gets mad in practice

Actually, the manager is still with the T's. I think they're a Rockies farm club.

They are getting ready to show the Blow-up on SportsCenter. I want to see Pinella's today, too.

have to agree that the grenade throw was well done.

good accuracy

and extra points for creativity

This guys is similar to the other guys posted a few months back (or maybe it was last season; can't quite remember at the moment.)

Food for Thought: Couldn't these tirades simply be publicity tactics for minor league teams? (To make the news and make people aware of an "entertainment" factor of the games, i.e. the manager might throw down tonight--almost akin to casual fans going to a hockey game for the fights or watching races for the spectacular wrecks?

I'd say that's exactly what the intent is.

no way anyone gets THAT outta control in the normal course of events.

unless they're mentally unstable to begin with.
