Why does Pie scurry after the helmet during walk-off celebrations?

[nate22]

haha! Pie is my hero!

My dog does the same thing with tennis balls.

That's Lee but yes, I think it took Fox by surprise!

Oops, my bad. I sometimes forget how big Lee is...

[TGO]

Isn't Pie usually the pie-in-the-face guy, too?

Jake Fox scored the winning run on a JJ Hardy hit, so there was no helmet to retrieve. Fox kept his on through the slide, and Hardy held onto his as he ran from the mob rounding first.

Pie breaks out the kungfu safe sign, jazz hands(perhaps waiting to see if Fox discarded his lid?), and then sprints after Hardy.

Ah, this one is particularly amazing (and amusing). I had no idea Pie was so freakin' freaky! So the O's got that goin' for 'em...

What if Pie hits a walkoff HR? Will he throw his helmet then go after? I could see him doing that and not even touch home.

LOL :slytf:

Has anyone else noticed this?

Doesn't it look like Luke taps Felix on the helmet and tells him to go retrieve the helmet? Looks like its all part of Luke's tutelage. Or mind control?

So glad for this thread......he's an odd dude. But at least he's a happy odd dude.

Pie needs a radio show. I love everything he does.

[LA2]

Yeah. Those are some strange looking pillows.

Pillows? Care to explain? :scratchchinhmm:

Wow--Good spot!

Go, Spot, go!

Can you check to see if Hardy threw his helmet at first base on this play? If so, my skull might explode after uncontrollable maniacal laughter.

[Greg Pappas]

God almighty, I've been screaming laughing at this thread!! Awesome... we all (outside of Gordo) needed this!

[NewMarketSean]

I am getting really tired of Pie's sorry-ass performance but at least he's a funny character. Maybe Buck is in love with him which is why he still plays a lot.

[Sammy So-So]

Thats gotta be the weirdest thing i've ever seen!?? He just takes off at a dead sprint and... grabs the helmet! What the H? So strange...

[ScottieBaseball]

This is the first Orioles-related anything I've seen in months that made me smile. That cat is hilarious!
