The Orioles are celebrating dwelling runs with a beer-less beer funnel which makes them the winner of the house run celebration derby.
Over the previous couple of years we’ve seen turnover props take over faculty soccer. The phenomenon is now taking on baseball with dwelling run props. And the Orioles simply gained first prize.
After dwelling runs, Baltimore’s hitters gained’t put on one thing, just like the Angels and their Samurai dwelling run helmet, they’ll must chug one thing out of a funnel.
Ryan Mountcastle demonstrated the follow with the assistance of James McCann after his first dwelling run of the season on Monday.
Don’t fear, that wasn’t a can of beer Mountcastle was chugging. It was only a bottle of water delivered in essentially the most frat home pleasant method doable.
However don’t go calling it a “dong bong” as some on Twitter have taken to doing. Pitcher Kyle Gibson revealed the true title of the celebratory prop: Homer Hose.
“We wish to be sure that it’s rebranded just a little bit. It’s a homer hose — not a dong bong. It’s a homer hose. Similar to as a child, you exit again, you’re taking a drink from the water hose after you play outdoors taking part in whiffle ball,” Gibson told Luke Jones of BaltimorePositive.com. No matter you wish to name it, it’s magnificent.

The Orioles are going to be very well-hydrated this season in the event that they maintain hitting bombs. We will thank Cole Irvin and Keegan Akin for developing with the concept, per Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Banner.
On Monday, they beat the Athletics 5-1 to enhance to 5-5 on the season. Together with Mountcastle, Adley Rutchman and Austin Hayes hit homers.
Baltimore is probably not able to contend for the AL East (definitely not with Tampa Bay on the ridiculous tear they’re on) however they’ve some younger stars and they’re becoming an entertaining bunch.
