Lobsters will happily attack the enemy and throw your own units into the grinder, if you happen to attack an enemy with a group of units.
Maybe Lobster throwing should be manual fire only.
Lobsters throw games.

I'm having a hard time figuring out whether or not you are speaking about the unit or bad players

Don't they default to hold fire? Issuing an attack command manually usually means "throw everything we've got at them".

On a related note I was going to throw scallops and the lobster threw my units in different directions, that could have cost me the game

Lobsters throw distance are affected by height differences. If the cliffs are too high, the lobsters can't throw ontop of them.

So maybe they can have an indication of where a unit is likely to be thrown or not thrown, like Neutons'?
