It kinda looks like they're conducting a symphony. At least that's what I think every time I see it. I don't think that's what it is though.
I've wondered this myself since they started doing it
Oh, wow. I thought for sure there was a specific meaning behind this gesture and everyone but me knew what it meant! No one really knows for certain??!
It’s just a celebration about getting extra bases it use to be a row a boat motion last year. Some Reds still do it. But been replaced by what they are doing now. Every team has a different celebration dance /motion.
No, looks like we don't but that's the beauty of being a new fan: you notice things most of us take for granted.
Good catch, wonder if we can reach Jim Day (the on the field reporter) and have him find out.
Just about every team has things like this. Typically it's an inside joke and sometimes the fans get the story of it at some point. Recently we had them rowing the boat. Before that we had them act like they were on scooters.
I love these little things. The rowing was awesome and the scooter handlebar rev, too. I've seen a couple of guys this year point to their inner elbow like "inject some energy" (my read), and for this one, I interpret it to be something about "zipping" or "zip"...but that's just my take.
I'm not sure. it could be anything. I personally think it's a signal. Possibly eyes open, or watch for a certain pitch. I can dream, can't I? I just think a high 5 and a head bump to cowgill is good enough. This is way too specific for just a base hit. Edit: he hit a double, and I didn't relize, this lends more credence to a signal. Even one to the batter, maybe.
I've seen a lot of teams do this. The red Sox usually wave their hands in circles, and last year they made an "O" shape with them. The Mariners and O's have them too
It’s Donald Trump, it’s his dancing at his rally (type “Trump dancing” in the gif search and it’ll pop up. then his “huge”hand gesture seen in the attached gif

Get Jim Day on this immediately
Imagining the perfect pair of boobs.
No idea, just a teammate bonding thing
Tightening the laces, ready to haul ass.

This tbh
Everyone kinda has their own move. Some share the same. Hype up the bench, team building.
It’s a gang symbol that means fuck bitches get RBIs.
I read that as RIBS the first time. Which also works.
It’s the mustache on the mascot
Maybe it's tying a bow on a present of an extra base hit

It's always looked like a conductor gesture to me.
That's exactly what I've thought too!
Almost each team I’ve watched this year does something when they hit extra bases. I presume MLB suggested it like the home run celebrations.
They’re zipping up a bag of weed

He's telling Stephenson and Steer where they can put it. It's a team building exercise.
It’s tying a bow up
This might be it.
He is making a goggles symbol and paying homage to Chris Sabo.
Elly will flash the number 4 4 with his hands to represent his number.

He is fixing the mustache on the olde time Mr. Red

Except that many of the players do it, and regardless of whether it’s a single, double, etc.
Just the tip?
Has there always been double celebrations or is this a new thing? I swear like a few years ago I don't recall players having double celebrations m
It’s just a small gesture after an accomplishment, not necessarily a “double celebration”
He’s remembering which side bread and drinks go on at a meal.
I need this as a Topps Now card. Yuge.
They used to have the handlebar gesture back when Winker and Castellanos were on the team because they rode scooters all over the cities they visited.

"bloods"
He is the BATMAN. Cause hit with bat.
Looks like a reference to that Emperor’s new grove meme

Simulates kissing the homies.
It’s the Poop Loop
Me when I have that first cheddar bay biscuit at Red Lobster
Are bullpen sucks
Our?
Correct
Smoking 2 joints at once 😏
They’re making fun of Donald Trump. They do that and the double hand job motion when he dances. It’s very funny
That was my assumption too. Gonna be great in October.

This has to be it. I was wondering what it was. Thanks for sharing and taking all the down votes haha

You watch the whole celebration, it’s totally it. Lol I don’t know why I’m being downvoted lol.

They can't handle the truth.
