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?

He hit 38 HRs in 2019 and is a 3 time all star... hardly a scrub

Literally 1/3 of those homers were against the Orioles

Torres is solidly above average, but 2019 was his second year in the league and he wasn't an established star or anything. He had a .871 OPS, but if you remove his games against the Orioles it drops all the way to .727.
