The Finger Wag

[Amazing Larry]

I think it's the new clubhouse circle of trust thing this season. I've seen it three times this game.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

I read that it is a sign to Arte "no no no, you can't reneg Josh's deal."

[TroutBaseball]

Did it start with Cron calling for the replay? I saw Trout do it later on that double.

[CaliAngel]

Might it be based on Cron's wag after they called him out but he was actually safe?

 

I kinda like it.

 

Especially because me and my buddies have used a rendition of this towards ladies in the past...

[Ohtaniland]

No need to wag your finger when you're 6-8 and trail the Astros by 2 games.

It's our version of the Motumbo "not in my house" commercial.

It's kinda cool but we are 1-4 in our house this season. Maybe they should wait until they actually put together a nice win streak at home.

They should start it early, this team looks like slow learners.

i have a finger wag for Wilson

[CaliAngel]

What's hilarious is if you watch the Gameday videos Calhoun seemed to do it after his hit in the first.

Then he definitely did it in he 2nd after Crons mammo.

I like it.

[Michifan]

Hey, if it's something the whole team does that helps bind them together, I don't care what stupid gesture it is. They need something to feel like a team. 

[Jay]

it's stupid and it's even worse when the finger is above shoulder height

[John Taylor]

Dikembe Mutombo is pleased

 

[Ohtaniland]

Funny that I didn't see the finger wag when they played the Royals.

[Stradling]

Claude you are the ultimate wet blanket. The Angels just had their best game of the season and you come in here with all your judgemental crap. Granted everything you said was factual but you just come across like a guy that despises everything about the team. How dare they have a little fun when they've had a rough go of it. This could have been as simple as the first guy who did it, probably Pujols when he feels a play should be challenged (which I'm positive you would hate), and the rest of the players mimicking him.

Come on Strad, I think the wag is cool but it's borderline disrespectful to the other team. We put together some win streaks and I'm all for the wag.

[Stradling]

It depends on the intent. If it started like I suggested then it has nothing to do with disrespect.

Look, the team is slow getting out of the gate and trying to build momentum.  Why on Earth would they actually think to themselves "Hey, guys, I know we're only 2 weeks into the season but lets wait until we resemble the '84 Tigers before we try to bond.  We may offend the other team...who we are trying to beat...but that's besides the point because we must be gentlemen at all times".

[Blarg]

It's not like they are wagging the middle finger.

[ELEVEN]

Wake me when the season starts.

[Chris]

I think it's wagging to the fans.  Sshh - Don't boo.  We're hitting now.

[HaloMagic]

I think it's dumb. The same way the Rangers antlers nonsense a few years ago was dumb. But if they like it then they should do it. They just look dumb. But I doubt they care what I think.

[IEAngelsfan]

I think you guys should cut Calzone some slack.  He just visited his proctologist and he's a little sensitive in regards to finger wagging.
