What's with the team dugout cheer/claps?

First college baseball game to watch this year?

I caught most LSU games this year and never noticed.

Not to put any actual thought into this but baseball has always had some level of chatter - batta batta swing batta! Then in softball the “rally cap” concept morphed into eternal props and chants / cheers which I thought were pretty darn funny. But then they started doing it the whole game and they got banned. They should probably allow in the last inning, IMO.

Gymnastics may be a little different - the choreographed chants, cheers and arm motions are partly to generate familiar white noise for the teammate on the beam who would likely be able to hear her own heart beat otherwise - helps create rhythm and mental zone.

BUT, dudes doing goofy cheers in the dugouts is kinda… weird. Maybe not that weird if you compare with touchdown dances in football (the griddy anyone??). For me - weird.

I honestly think the run to CF after a win and everyone jump in the air is lamer than the dugout choreography.

Sure it probably is excessive at times but I think it’s cool seeing them actually engaged. Not any worse than 3rd string DTs and strength and conditioning coaches trying to get fans pumped up in tiger stadium. That is actually lame

You guys do say STTDB in unison well. its very unique though ill give you that.

Most teams are doing it. VOLS did it all night
And others
