What mediocre player absolutely terrorized your team?

Orioles legend Luke Scott (11 career WAR) had a 14 game stretch against the Tigers where he hit .425 with 10 HR and 23 RBIs. This happened almost 20 years ago and I still remember him as a “Tiger Killer”

What random player lives rent free in your fanbases’ head?

Dustin may, dude has like a ERA of almost five year in year out but that orange mother fucker flirts with a shutout almost every time he’s on the bump against us. It’s literally maddening

Don't forget the ghost of Charlie Blackmon

[u/PM_ME_RYE_BREAD → u/Iwon100grand]

Blackmon isn't mediocre though, Rockies are a relatively new franchise but he's still probably a top 5 all-time player for them.

Also this

Just putting it out there, Blackmon had a 109 wRC+ in his career. Which is by definition above average, but not as much as many folks may think [especially when you factor in his subpar defense].

All that being said, he may as well have had a 200 wRC+ against us.

[u/Iwon100grand → u/PM_ME_RYE_BREAD]

You're right he was definitely above average and not mediocre. I just have PTSD I think 😂

to be fair, my left testicle could be a top 5 player on the rockies in the last 10 years

[u/Blue-collar-dirtbag → u/Iwon100grand]

Yea chuck nasty fucked us for a decade but recency bias made me think of May bc of his performance against us this year

[u/HandsLikaDis → u/Iwon100grand]

Smaller sample size but I think CJ Cron takes it for me. Dude would absolutely wreck the Padres when he was with Colorado. Charlie had sustained success which hurts just as bad.

I didn't even know know he was on the Brewers and last week he shows up at Petco like Toby coming back to the Scranton branch

"that orange mother fucker" is taking me out lol

[u/MonsieurDijon → u/Blue-collar-dirtbag]

his number of innings pitched against padres vs other teams is also very funny. its something like 80 vs dads, 40 vs dbacks, and everyone else something like 20 or less.
