Houston, we have lift-off. I suspect that Tootles was just lifting Abe up to get eyeball to eyeball but launched him instead.

It’s a deep fly ball ( actually a mite ) high in the air to left field, but Tootles has never played baseball.

Bentley and Splunker obviously have their mouths full, so naturally Tootles got the job of tracking Abe’s fall and lining up the target. Unfortunately dinosaurs have historically not had a great track record when it comes to objects falling from the sky.
