I believe they yell "bota" (boat-ah) which according to the ole' google translation is:
BOTA -
v. launch; (Latin America) throw away, dispose of; throw, cast; bounce; lose

There is also a guy at Miami Jai Alai who likes to yell:

"El mango esta podrido" - the mango is rotten
"aguacate" - avocado
"Adios Lola" - goodbye Lola

and there was a guy at Dania for years that was nicknamed the 'spirit man' who used to slap the floor and the wall while asking the spirit to help him win points...there is youtube of him here:
