God save us all. Not sure I follow. Are you referring to me, or one of the 12 O'Clock Boys? Can you clarify?

I certainly wasn’t directing that comment at you. It was a reference to a comment in the movie trailer. The little boy says something like, “ i’m 12 years old +2 years I’m a grown ass man.“ Or something like that I’m paraphrasing. That’s why I made my comment. It’s incredibly sad that little boys who have so much growing and learning ahead of them claim to be men. They maybe be one day, but they aren’t yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I logged back in to see this. Thanks. I just posted the trailer without watching it again myself. The program itself is unsettling in the same way The Wire was in a lot of ways, and about the same thing you referenced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooks The Great Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 They went from from the best and most unique celebration - the home run chain - to the most lame celebration in the handlebars. It's embarrassing. Hope the team gets rid of it soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's embarrassing. Hope the team gets rid of it soon. I don't agree with the accolades for the HR chain, but it was fine. The motorcycle does nothing for me. There are two varieties of these celebrations: for HRs (when the hitter is in the dugout afterwwards) and for other hits or other XBHs (when he's on base and signalling to the dugout). Are the Orioles doing anything this year for HR hitters? I haven't noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malike Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) I don't mind the hand revving on the bases, I think the handlebars are cringe, though. Luckily, they aren't hitting HR's so we don't have to see it. Edited April 8 by Malike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabba72 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Agree with some others i'm not really a huge fan of the motorcycle. The handlebars are ridiculous but whatever, if thats what they agreed on then fine, I dont exactly have much input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They interviewed Adley about it and he definitely gave the impression that the celebration is not well received. I agree, it’s pretty dumb and honestly makes no sense. “Get your x-games on?” What?

Explosivo Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Here’s an idea for a better celebration. Give em a giant crab claw hammer or a crab leg crusher thing. That would be sick! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drjohnnyfever1 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) They'll find something that's meaningful to them and we'll be along for the ride. I'm glad the motorcycle thing isn't getting traction with them. Seemed kinda dumb, but if that makes for a little fun for them, so be it. but i think they'll just kind of find something organic amongst themselves and we'll catch on when they do.

That would be sick! Why not give them a very large fake crab they can hold by the claws in the dugout and when on base hold their hands up and and imitate claws pinching open and close a few times.

Frobby Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I would like the team to celebrate a homer by immediately hitting another homer. Who’s with me? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
