most hated player

[king_jason]

not necessarily from an rbi standpoint, which player(s) in rbi do you hate so much that you want to drill them every time they step up to the plate

my choices are roger clemens (at least in rbi they didn't include his stupid wordhole, or the yank-shits), and kirk gibson

[Gwynn3k]

for me, the players i hate are not necessarily cause they rake against me as they fail to do anything for me when i use them.   i know gantry doesnt want to hear this but i absolutely hate the combo of meat and potatoes cause they NEVER do anything for me.

as for the atari,  i used to be a big fan of joe adcock...  however the guy stopped doing anything for me after his initial success.  i now dispise him...  i am now a fan of hack wilson.

   I hate Bill Buckner because he never gets a hit.  He hits like a girl.  As for the Atari i hate Phil Neikro.  His moves the one batters box to the other.

[B]

as ive once stated before, i hate the entire new york mets team...short of rafi santana.....and my least favorite piece of garbage on that squad is ray knight...everything about him makes me sick....

[Burnzky]

  Yes the Mets are a dissapointing team.  They can be frustrating if u r trying to pull of a win.  The only good thing about that team is Strawberry, HES GOOD.  Hes like a diamond in a pile of rocks.

[Gantry]

Not to beat a dead horse on this forum, but Wade Anthony Boggs is my official most hated player at this point.  I'm so tired of giving up dingers to that loser...

Even though Darrell Evans has a 3.000 slugging percentage against me lately, I can't say he's most hated.  I respect his game, unlike the Wabbit...

[Gwynn3k]

not only does it suck to give up a bomb to "chicken boy" but then you get the privledge of facing RBI next...

i must admit that i hate the american league allstars...  they are all in an enormous slump.   mcgwire has done nothing but hit pregame warm up for infielders.  taco bell has become a singles hitter.  cal ripken(i hate him) is a weak five hitter, brett should be batting left, and baines is underachieving...  the only guy on the team that is doing his job is don mattingly.   the pitchers(except saberhagen) have been far from effective.  righti has no movement and henke lasts for about three hitters.  

[Gantry]

Just added "Taco Bell" to George's nicknames, thanks Gwynn.  I'm bit peeved that I didn't think of it earlier. We are big TB fans here at the dee-nee house, we typically eat it 2-4 times a week...

Speaking of TB, I gave up an opposite-field homer to Tom Brookens tonight, thank you Potsie.  Sperling did the same thing to me a few weeks ago.  What a fuck...

[B]

hold your head high gantry...being blessed by and opposite field shot to mr brookens is seen as a divine sign in most countries....

[Gwynn3k]

brookins is a hot/cold hitter... he gets in a groove and look out..   he has those stretches though where he needs to rest and let madlock/bergman get some hacks.  

[Gantry]

I can't think of any hit more frustrating than that Tom Brookens opposite field shot.  Doubly so because he got seven more runs after that, all with two outs!  I will not forget Tom Brookens, your time will come...

[Dill]

Brookens is one of the players that never has a slump.  A bad game for him is still average.  I hate Chicken Boggs, Ripken, Kirby Wifebeater, and Geena Davis.  

[Gwynn3k]

in our contests, there have been times where brookins cant hit his way out of a wet paper sack.  on the other hand, he has his moments where he picks up 5 rbi's with two swings of the bat.

with the solid bench in detroit, it is a tough decision...  who gets the playing time?   we all know that hearndon is getting benched...  as for the rest,  sometimes i like to take out lemon to add another lefty to the potent lineup.  

[Gantry]

I agree with Gwynn, Tom Brookens is typically feast or famine.  Though he seems to be on quite the hot streak lately...

[B]

ill agree that there are times that brookens gets into a bit of a power slump, but for me, he always hits the ball hard....plays a remarkable thrid base....hits very well to "brookens alley", which is located in the bleacher seats directly between left and center...and is the most  clutch hitter ive run into

[B]

also, to reference gwynn's earlier comment, i rarely take out anyone besides herndon...he should play for the mets....i cant bring myself to take out cheddar (or as he's known here, chester copperpot)....the only one i would ever dream of would be whitaker, becaues he seems to be the least consistent on the squad...

[Gwynn3k]

against a filthy righty like clemens, ryan or doc, inserting bergman in the six hole makes it 6 lefties in a row.  by doing this, you can foul off their tough pitches and add to their pitch counts insuring that they will be history after the 5th inning and then you can go to work on the bullpen.

[B]

that is true...i hadnt thought of that, however, i dont play very heavily into the righty lefty thing....actually i find i have better luck pitching when im facing someone who is the opposite handed batting....and when hitting, unless its a sidearmer, i dont really have an advantage either way...but that is just me

[Gwynn3k]

i would agree with you unless it is clemens who just abuses right handers...  he struggles mightily vs. the tigers lineup of lefties.

[Heep]

I usually just read post from this site I felt the need to write one after i read your analysis of Tom Brookens.  I could not hate that man any more that i currently do.  Every single game i play it seems like he hits 2 out of the park against me. just had to vent.
