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.

What Max Muncy said about getting rid of the torpedo bat
"Starting with that bat, it felt good, swing felt good, but after the Dylan Lee at-bat, I felt like the bat was causing me to be a little bit off-putting, a little bit in and out of the zone because my swings felt really, really good tonight, but maybe just a bit off. It was the last at-bat I just decided to back to my regular at-bat. Fortunately, I did not throw it."
