magits Verified Member Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 This is a very serious thread regarding the Bluejays dugout celebrations. I have noticed for a while since the departures of Jose Reyes and "God damnit I love it" Danny Valencia, the dugout celebrations have been, for lack of a better word, lame. Just look at the difference between the celebration to Arod's grand slam: http://m.mlb.com/video/v383285583/minnyy-arod-launches-a-goahead-grand-slam And Donaldson's 3R HR tonight http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/8878984/v382969783/torphi-donaldsons-second-homer-puts-blue-jays-up Is there an issue now with team chemistry with all these new faces??? -Magits
RealAccountant Old-Timey Member Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 It's about. Expectations they don't celebrate little things like that because they expect them
magits Verified Member Posted August 19, 2015 Author Posted August 19, 2015 It's about. Expectations they don't celebrate little things like that because they expect them I don't buy that. The Yankees have been in first place all season and still have way better celebrations.
thatoneguy Old-Timey Member Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Lol, that video doesn't even show most of the high-fiving going on in the dugout since it pans away to crowd. Furthermore, who cares? I like how they're going about it right now like it's a business. They're here to win, end of story.

Much longer camera angle of the post-homer dugout celebration (PHDC). Still super lame. http://m.mlb.com/video/v382530183/torphi-donaldson-opens-scoring-with-monster-homer/?game_pk=415436
thatoneguy Old-Timey Member Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Your argument isn't getting any stronger comparing the reaction to a 1st inning solo home run with a go-ahead grand slam in the 7th at home.
LTR Verified Member Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 #1 The Yankees were at home and the celebrations are always bigger #2 A grand slam is more celebratory than a 3-run HR (even though it's only 1 more run) #3 The 2 guys at homeplate were just pranking Josh the way they walked away #4 The camerawork was way better on the Yankees, getting right in on it #5 The Yankees are all gay, so it's a lovefest regardless

FrozenRopes Verified Member Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 The mentality has changed. Tulo and JoDo are 'lunch pail' guys. Its work and this is how it should be. You hit a home run, you still have not accomplished a thing. If you watch the Giants play and win, that is how a professional organization works. The emotion is there, they just know the end goal.
JaysAllMighty Old-Timey Member Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 We didn't see Joe Carter jumping around the bases every time he hit a home run did we? I much prefer our players NOT acting like clowns. I'm happy they got rid of a few of them.

saskjayfan Old-Timey Member Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 I don't buy that. The Yankees have been in first place all season and still have way better celebrations. the jays have had plenty of great celebrations. Donaldson is on fire and Arod has been slumping. The Jays were playing on the road against the worst team in baseball and the yanks were at home playing a rather pesky minnesota twins team.
TilsonBritoFan Verified Member Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 How is this even a legitimate question? http://www.troll.me/images/spider-man/just-dropped-by-to-say-this-thread-sucks.jpg
TilsonBritoFan Verified Member Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Time to steer this thread in a different, and much better direction: http://www.thenug.com/sites/default/pub/022814/thenug-j1pw6Oj2Yr.gif
