He was caught afterwards but I dont know the timeline. It looks like he's scolding someone. 

It was several months later.

Eh, it's not his fault he didn't have the horses.

I don't think he was fully into it.  Earl batted John Shelby and Juan Bonilla leadoff a total of 72 times.  Shelby had a .263 OBP, Bonilla a .311.  Alan Wiggins and his .309 another 59 times.  On a team with six regulars with a .334 or higher.  Old Earl would have never done that.  He'd have batted Jim Dwyer leadoff against righties and given the middle finger to anyone who questioned it.

Thome is a great call.  Pretty cool that we got to see him as an Oriole, one of the all time greats.
