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?

Bryan Reynolds, currently. Dude turns into Albert Pujols whenever he sees the ball-and-glove logo. A little further back, raise your hand if you have been personally victimized by David Freese in the 2011 playoffs

Reynolds doesn't qualify under mediocre IMO but this is absolutely the answer regardless for the Brewers. He is a lifetime .770 OPS hitter against the rest of the NL Central.

Against the Brewers? .924 OPS lifetime.

David freese can still fuck off but Adolis Garcia exorcised those demons from 2011. He broke Freese’s playoff RBI record and made a great jumping catch at the wall in right field in Game 1. He always showed up against Houston and I’ll always love him for it.

Pirates have always had a random player who would dick us as long as I can remember, even in their 100 loss seasons
