Max Muncy ditched his torpedo bat at the exact right time

[ASFN Admin]

Max Muncy -- the Los Angeles Dodgers one, not the A's guy -- decided to try the now-famous (or infamous, as some feel) torpedo bat on Wednesday night in an eventual win over the Atlanta Braves.

But unlike some Yankees or the ever-growing list of players using them, Muncy struggled by going 0-for-3 with the torpedo bat. So he decided to ditch it for his regular bat.

It was the last at-bat I just decided to back to my regular at-bat. Fortunately, I did not throw it."
