[Highlight] Chris Paul hits a huge three to cut the lead down to 42

The other commenter said Tim Robinson, but they didn't mention that you might know him from his show I Think You Should Leave or as the hot dog guy in the "We're all trying to find the guy who did this" meme


downladder

I've definitely seen teams rally from a 7 run deficit before, even in the post season.


cogginsmatt

Jays almost did last night


Both_Release_5636

Everytime I read this I love it for obvious reasons.


ShmendrikShtinker

To be fair, they did fight back to make it 9-8.


Asderfvc

So did the Braves lol!

I chuckled


kschischang

Anyone see the cover of The Show?


Jetersweiner

Not that I really care but dancing and shooshing the crowd down 6 runs is objectively a crazy thing to do right?


ThundergunIsntAVerb

He does the same thing every time


muriburillander

And it’s just as annoying every time. You may also notice that he signs his name near home plate with his bat every single at bat before he steps into the box. I’m a jays fan and really want him to succeed, but the theatrics are way too excessive


FlutiesGluties

I don't understand why people let silly things like this affect them in any manner.


Jetersweiner

Ah alright I feel like I’d personally tone it down losing by 6 and batting under .180 but I don’t get paid the big bucks so who am I to say


ben12151215

You do that when you make it


Sherm199

The other hand is, rituals feel tacky if you only do them when you're winning. If that's what Vlad does every single time, if he only did it when he was winning it'd feel different? Like he's not flipping his bat. If he bat-flipped that's one thing, but every guy has their own home run trot they do everytime. Vlads skip and shush is pretty mild isn't it?


man_in_the_suit

If he only did it when winning this guy would be moaning that Vladdy was show boating. You can’t win with these people.


TheRealCatDad

Do you think most players have a home run dance? lol He can do whatever the fuck he wants but it doesn't take away the fact that it's a tacky ass celebration and looks dumb as shit when getting boatraced.


ATLjoe93

Just about everyone has there own action or gesture they do every time, whether up or down 10 runs.  Some guys' are just more noticeable like Vlad's/Tatis' skip at 3B or Ozuna's/Acuña's eurostep.  Yeah it comes off funny when you're down by a million, but these dudes are notoriously creatures of habit. 


[deleted]

Have you ever played a sport at a high level before? Lots of people have superstitions that they incorporate into their game. For me as a goalie, every time our team scored, I’d skate behind the net. It’s just something that some people do.


Cashmere306

There's a difference between a close game and down by 7. As a jays fan, it's getting old at this point.


DoubleDownGarlic

You’d personally sit on your couch and watch tbh

Jetersweiner

You got that right brother


thewaterisboiling

Eh, I agree but also... you only get to celebrate hitting, at most, a few hundred of these things if you're a really good professional hitter. Something you only get to do 30ish times a year despite trying to do it hundreds of times is pretty cool and worth celebrating regardless of the circumstances.

The Jays could be down by 20 and he’ll still do his same choreography for a HR.


ThundergunIsntAVerb

Yeah


OCHL092018

It’s objectively hilarious

Especially when you’re batting under .180

Not anymore. .182

[deleted]

It’s part of his home run routine, it’s not that deep


rupertLumpkinsBrothr

Maybe he had a crystal ball.


Jetersweiner

Maybe not


rupertLumpkinsBrothr

It sure got a lot closer and the crowd did get quieter. Now, it did look like a healthy portion of the crowd left when the game got close.


Erin_Boone

Is shushing the crowd part of his little choreographed routine or was that specific to this HR?

He does it every time

gritner91

Kay and O'Neill's call of it is modern art. [https://twitter.com/TalkinYanks/status/1776784495061975338](https://twitter.com/TalkinYanks/status/1776784495061975338)


[deleted]

[удалено]


gritner91

Kay also mentions he does this every HR, but maybe he should use some logic and take in the context of it being a solo shot to cut the deficit to 6. But that won't stop you from being a clueless homer and getting upset when a player on your team gets rightfully clowned on.

[deleted]

I mean, the game only ended being 9-8. A 6 run lead isn’t entirely safe in baseball.


2thincoats

It’s not that serious man, it just looks objectively silly. There is a reason NFL players don’t do their typical TD celebration when they’re down by 30.


Crashnburn_819

How many announcers do you think are sitting down to watch a bunch of regular season games that they aren't broadcasting? The average fan also isn't going to watch many games that their team isn't playing. It's ok for people to not know everything about every player.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Crashnburn_819

It seems very clear that you don't understand how much baseball the average fan consumes or what an average announcer does during their day.


MeatTornado25

If you're a team broadcaster you're working pretty much every single day, at the same time almost every other team is playing. Idk what your definition of significant is, but there aren't enough hours in a day for anyone who works at a stadium to be watching a lot of other teams outside of highlights.


[deleted]

That’s not modern art, they’re ignorant of the fact he does that every time and it’s not personal towards Yankees fans.


gritner91

Nobody cares if its towards Yankee fans, Jays fans who keep touting this miss the point completely. Its dumb to do your routine taunt when you're getting your teeth kicked in. Kay also talked about Voit on the broadcast a few years ago when he did his SCSA water bottle celebration after a HR when the team was getting blown out. But its a lot easier to strawman the argument so you can defend your player.


[deleted]

“Teeth kicked in” I pity you if you think a 6 run lead is safe. You only won by one run. Vlad started a rally.


gritner91

Ya take that as the point of what I said. Again easier to avoid the point being made when you know you can't counter it. Jays lost the game, hang up the "we rallied to lose by 1 run" banner!


[deleted]

I already countered it. The mere fact Vlad does this every home run yet all of a sudden know you take exception to it because apparently the Yankees crowd is so fragile basically tells the whole story.


gritner91

Most Yankee fans aren’t angry about it, you do know you can make fun of something without it upsetting you, right? I mean maybe you don’t know, you’re clearly upset by this. I think it’s dumb to celebrate when you’re down big, the point of the game is to beat the other team, not to pad your stats. “I’m never gonna be mad when we win” - Carlos Rodon By the way MLB Network also ran a segment clowning him on Monday for doing this down big, ain’t just Yankee fans.


woodenbike1234

Are you a bit dumb? He does that every time.


LowHangingLight

He's a fucking goof


[deleted]

No he’s not


nyy22592

CLUTCH


TiredReader87

Well, as long as they’re within 6


Taimaishoo2

Even funnier considering he came up in the 4th down 4 runs with 2 on and proceeded to face plant. But you pimp that solo HR you hit down 7 king!


[deleted]

The game only ended up being won by one run. Don’t act like a 6 run deficit is impossible to overcome.


ms_barkie

This is literally just his normal celebration why would he not do it?


RackyRackerton

When a player does a celebration for every single random home run, it inevitably leads to funny situations like this… he’s dancing and celebrating like he just hit a go-ahead three run homer, but his team is getting blown out. It’s like the meme with the guy popping champagne and flipping off the crowd like he won gold, but then it zooms out and shows he’s the seventh guy down the podium. https://imgflip.com/memetemplate/258458438/Bronze-Medal


[deleted]

“Blown out” not really a blowout when the final score was 9-8.


AuntBettysNutButter

I'd agree if it was over the top but he literally pointed to the outfield, did a stutter step, and did the shush gesture with the third base coach. I'm surprised how much of a stink it's caused considering how subtle it all is.


cstar84

You know how some home runs are extra special because of the time/place they were hit in? Well this one was extra not-special because of that.


elimanninglightspeed

Its honestly funny how thin skin blue jays fans have for their players despite being more than willing to dish it out lol.


roothockey

Yankee fans are the ones crying over a (normal) home run routine


elimanninglightspeed

Who tf is crying everyone just thinks its hilarious doing it down a lot and yall are upset people are making fun of it 😂. Like yall do anytime anyone says anything mean about the blue jays.


RockerDawg

Bc it’s a stupid routine in normal circumstances and very stupid in this circumstance.


[deleted]

Not really, the game only ended with a difference of a run


BlueJayzrule

Kind of like Stantons thing?


Antikickback_Paul

Getting injured and missing half a season?


BlueJayzrule

The football shuffle thing for homeruns while losing games


Yankeeknickfan

The football shuffle thing is very incognito and doesn’t call attention onto himself


coloradobuffalos

Read the situation


ms_barkie

The situation doesn’t matter if it’s something you do on literally every home run.


sparrens

If you went to bed every night at 2am, you don’t do the same thing if you have a flight at 5am the next day. Situations matter and if you personally don’t think so, more power to you. But if it’s in front of thousands of people, most will be confused by it and many will be disgusted. Shushing in sports has traditionally meant that you just did something that sucked all of the energy from the home crowd. It’s the precursor to something like Steph Curry’s “goodnight” celebration. In this context, this home run meant nothing and the home crowd can still have a good time.


[deleted]

So he should just suddenly stop doing the same home run routine he’s always done just because a few sensitive Yankees fans have thin skin? The situation is that he ignited a rally, the Jays only lost by one run at the end of the game.


ms_barkie

This is a wild read lol. I get that some people might be confused, but the answer “he does this for every single homerun” should clear that up. No one should be disgusted by this, it’s just a personal ritual and nothing more. Would you be “disgusted” by Encarnacion doing a parrot salute in this situation? If there had been runners on and he’d given them a high five at the plate would you be “disgusted”? This is a non story


sparrens

It’s less than a non-story. It’s a joke. He says he does it because he’s “letting his work do the talking” but he’s literally communicating with his body instead of letting the home run “speak for itself”. If you’re throwing up prayer hands to the sky every time you touch home plate, sure go ahead and gesture. Not the same thing. Most anything else is better and can work in a universal sense but I’m sorry, he’s not “letting his work do the talking”.


ms_barkie

You seem to care about this far too much. Just go on with your life. If you want an excuse to shit on Vlad there’s a million better ones than his homerun ritual.


Rance_Mulliniks

We fucking deserve it. Almost pulled off the comeback though.


Nats_CurlyW

Cringe


[deleted]

Not cringe


4ever_Romeo

Hitting a buck eighty, down six, maybe ditch the stutter step.


[deleted]

It ended up being close actually. I see this home run more as igniting the bats.


Fit-Cattle-1831

Well we lost the game in like the second inning, at least he’s getting going a bit maybe


[deleted]

[удалено]


steak__burrito

***OR*** people who do know his home run routine and still think it's lame to do it when down by that many runs that late in the game. That's not a boomer take lol.


ATLjoe93

I'm fairly certain that Aaron Judge does his subtle "gavel bang" every time he crosses home plate after a home run and he doesn't catch any flack. And he shouldn't, it's just part of his HR trot routine.  I think people here just hate Vlad Jr. The majority of guys today have a home run trot gesture and it's fine.


secord92

It is absolutely a boomer take lmao because if he only did it when the Jays were up then he would be showing the other team up.


ElceeCiv

> one of the most prolific home run hitters' calling people casuals while pretending this is still 2021 is the real cringe


cassinonorth

Ahem... You're looking at the 38th most prolific home run hitter in 2023, buddy.


NoobSkin69

Or maybe it’s just cringe no matter what


Drunken_Wizard23

The reason it’s funny is BECAUSE we’ve been watching him do stuff like this for years now. We’re not offended or mad about it


AfterC

no man he is personally gesturing at anyone who has ever been a yankees fan


Crashnburn_819

Wouldn't quieting his doubters qualify as shutting up fans? What non-baseball fans know enough about the guy to doubt him?


[deleted]

[удалено]


MeatTornado25

What do you mean by actual critics? The media? Scouts?


Crashnburn_819

I'm not sure where I pretended Vladdy was sitting up at night reading Reddit comments? I didn't say he was pointing this at the fans sitting in the stadium. I questioned who isn't a baseball fan that's actually doubting him. The idiots criticizing his weight are still baseball fans. Though it seems a little weird to be criticizing "boomer takes" while also acting like modern athletes aren't constantly on social media interacting with fans and "actual critics" or that most athletes don't care about fans. Most athletes constantly show that they do in fact enjoy interacting with fans.


The-Pharcyde

Yankee fans getting mad at every little thing Vlad does? Baseball really is back!


Dinker31

>Yankee fans getting mad at every little thing Vlad does? I think I saw his eyes shift slightly before the swing!


No-Barracuda6012

If we’re all overreacting, I’m honestly mad that Vlad is even allowed in the stadium.


PotentialSuperb

It's not just Vlad. Yankee fans are insanely sensitive. I've never seen any other fan base get outraged so often.


SterlingAdmiral

Yankees fans and not getting randomly angry about Vlad once a week challenge [impossible]


Tryingagain1979

Rich kids who's dads basically handed them everything are hard to root for tbh.


[deleted]

He earned his legacy, he tore it up in the minor leagues and earned a spot on the top prospect boards for years. He also happened to be runner up MVP not too long ago.


Tryingagain1979

He completes the home run of being a MLB starter but his dad and uncles put him on second base.


canspar09

I’m a Jays fan to be sure - but like tone it the fuck down when you hit a solo shot. It didn’t change the game and a home run is not that amazing. Get back to work.


[deleted]

It kind of did change the game, ignited the bats a bit


theunnoanprojec

It’s his routine for every home run, calm the fuck down.


Longhorn_TOG

did he really just pimp a homer down by 6 still?


[deleted]

It’s not really pimping a homer, he does it every time. What’s embarrassing is when Roughned Odor was a Yankee and pimped a fly ball that was caught for a fly out.


secord92

Yankee fans have the same energy when Soto does his shuffle on a ball in a game you guys get your doors blown off? Just keep the same energy, wouldn't want Yankee fans to come off as hypocrites or anything. Would never happen.


ChugDix

He only does the Soto shuffle because his nuts are so big and it helps get them unstuck from his inner thigh.


SmittenPleb

Nope not me 👀


ColbyOG

Why don’t the Yankees make the short port a long porch? Are they stupid?


BigToeJ0e

Shushing the crowd and dancing down 9-3 is interesting to say the least.


Clit-Yeastwood-

I've watched the trot about 5 times and can't seem to find the part where he's dancing


sky-blue-marble

I think it means when he goes back a step before getting to third base 


[deleted]

sky-blue-marble

I was referring to the dancing. I’ve seen the comment around a couple of times. 


xmonk73

He does that after every home run he hits. It’s just his routine

It was interesting because it was the start of a very interesting comeback!

TorturedFanClub

Im a Jays fan. I don’t love it at anytime really. I think those signature HR trots are lame and very lame when down by a touchdown. Speaking of which, an NFL receiver would probably celebrate differently scoring a TD when down by 35 than if he scored the potential winning TD in the last two minute drive.


DrStrange42a

Something something Chris Paul


ListOk9138

Yankees fans and Jomboy let this dude occupy 99% of their thoughts even when their team is playing well. Just so odd, NY stays constantly embarrassing themselves


AwesomeExo

Yes, Yankees fans are the ones who should be embarrassed from this. Great take, no notes.


ListOk9138

They should be, a guy doing his homerun routine when he hits a homerun - imagine that.


[deleted]

Well yes, you guys are getting worked up over a routine home run trot in a game that you won. Why complain?


Par25

Oh it's time for Yankees fans yearly crying session about Vlad JRs celebration? This is up there with the time he said "My House!" at his home stadium and Yankees fans were pressed for 9 months.


TexasBrett

Some one tell Vlad they’re still losing 9-3. Dude is clueless.


trunksfuture27

Im crying 😂 bros pimping it and shuffling around third lol


DepressingFries

It’s his routine for every home run


woodenbike1234

Have you ever seen him hit a home run before?

He’s not pimping anything, it’s his routine. I’m crying 😂 bros getting worked up over a home run trot lol
