April 28, 200620 yr He was suspended indefinitely. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2423307
April 28, 200620 yr http://youtube.com/watch?v=wW0tuz3_Hgc&search=delmon%20young A bat flip....sure. That ump should go after assault charges. This guy has serious anger issues.
April 28, 200620 yr Wow, his temper got the best of him there. Sucks to be him, but you gotta assume responsibility for your actions.
April 28, 200620 yr yeah - bad enough he was showing up the guy the way he was - say your piece and get back to the dugout he deserved to be tossed and i'm sure he'll regret losing his cool for a long time
April 28, 200620 yr I just saw the video clip this morning. I thought it was pretty funny the way the bat was thrown. It came out of no where and just hit the ump weakly. :lol
April 29, 200620 yr Meh. That pitch was obviously not a strike. That'll teach the ump not to call pitches that are two feet outside a strike.
April 29, 200620 yr Meh. That pitch was obviously not a strike. That'll teach the ump not to call pitches that are two feet outside a strike. i don't remember eric gregg getting a bat thrown at him and that game meant something. :mischief i heard today that apparently though the ump was showing delmon and others up by striking a pose after each strike he called but still you can't toss a bat at the guy.
April 29, 200620 yr Good thing for the ump he was wearing a chest protector. The bat bounced right off. I'm just glade nobody was hurt.
May 2, 200620 yr Jon Lester's take on this...(he was the pitcher0 "Not exactly sure what happened with Delmon. All I know is he got tossed and didn't really like it so he turned around and tossed the bat. I don't think he meant to hit the ump, but the bat stuck to his hand a little long, maybe because of the pine tar or something--and it ended up hitting him."
