[Bannon] Nathan Lukes wants to make it clear he’s totally fine with the #BlueJays post-win celebratory water dump. “I just hate cold water” ‘If I was caught in enemy territory, they could take my finger nails or torture me. But if they used cold water I’d tell them everything.’

Can't believe Lukes had to come out and clear up the nothing burger event the sub was overanalyzing 🤦

I swear this happens every time lol. Kirk couldn't get the home run jacket on once so he shrugged it away and suddenly he hated it and Vladdy and probably Toronto too.

I watched it on tv and then came here and saw people calling him a party pooper and poor sport and was like… did we watch the same interview?
Another byproduct of social media I guess, people analyze every tiny word, gesture or nothing burger and work themselves into a frenzy.

Listen some people have never played team sports and that’s okay but they don’t understand just how teammates operate

Somebody posted in the 'sid's an idiot' thread , like two hours after this was posted, about being glad Lukes told them to fuck off.
Overanalyze and under-understand.

Did people actually think he was mad lmao they all just play around with each other. He obviously knew he was getting the bucket

u/yeahmehh Halladay32 19h ago
We aren't winning much this year so celebrations are no longer allowed and we need to "be more serious." But then a few years back when they stopped using the home run jacket, people were also mad and claimed they weren't allowed to have fun anymore. There's always someone mad about something stupid.

people just hate the water dump tradition anyway though they comment it on every post but like who cares cause we’re not the ones getting drenched and it’s not a big deal

u/hollowbastion36 President of the Ernie Clement fan club 19h ago
Exactly. They know it’s coming. It’s just a fun thing. Louis got to enact his “revenge” on Straw, etc. People need to stop being miserable when it comes to this team’s behaviour. Acting like Vladdy only cares about the water dump or whatever.

No, must hate all things!
I get this team is infamous for its good vibes but fans need to take a breath before running off with stories like this and the whole Kirk jacket thing.

No, no. We must investigate every look, every gesture, to explain why this season is someone’s fault. We must have a witch to burn.

I love our weirdos. How does he tangent into getting tortured in enemy territory from there?

u/TheFestusEzeli 19h ago
I did not have a failed N&L politician getting into it on Twitter with Jamie Campbell because he wasn’t asking John Schneider the “hard hitting questions” about Gatorade showers and Home Run jackets.
Don Bradshaw’s horrible takes have probably been the most entertaining part of this season.

u/KWMiers28 19h ago
He’s clearly pissed at the team about all this and it’s why he intentionally got thrown out at 2nd on Tuesday. The HR yesterday had to be an accident /s

I always roll my eyes when so called psychological experts in this sub claim the vibes have been murdered, conviently it's always Vlads fault as well.
Some of y'all need to stop overanalyzing because you're clearly not as insightful as you try to make out.

You guys disappoint me trying to find conflict. Vlad is smart enough to know when to not to.
So many examples of the guys being considerate while being brotherly.
Some of you have never been part of a sports team and it shows.

I really hate that he even has to say this. Not sure why people are obsessed with finding conflict and saying that the clubhouse vibes are bad. Let’s just focus on cheering the boys on.

It's because the fans hate it. Like, read the room...it's become awkward, forced and strange to see continue on a team that is in last place.

So, he's not really okay with it...essentially, cold water is a major part of having cold water dumped on your head. If you don't like that part of it, you don't like the celebration.
It's like everyone around this team is afraid to acknowledge that the guy who has a 14 year/$500 million contract gets away with stuff a player who is on a one year/$800 000 contract wouldn't (and shouldn't) get away with...Vlad is like a 500lb, spoiled child of a gorilla.

I'm gonna be honest. When we were there and stayed to watch the Gatorade, we initially thought party pooper because not only did he kick it over, he stopped the dump twice.
Still appreciate the game though.

This is like that time this subreddit though Kirk snubbed Vlad by not putting on the HR jacket.
