There’s another type of guy called “THAT GUY?” and it’s the career .127 hitter who hits like .700 against your favorite team. For Mariners fans it’s basically any bad player but any A’s second baseman applies (Mark Ellis, Eric Sogard) and then guys like Luis Rengifo.

2025-03-22 02:33:10 +0000 UTCAs a dodger hater (Mets fan), I wanna take shots with kiké and and Carl, and I’m sober

2025-03-22 01:36:36 +0000 UTCI just wanna say that the fact that the hayesman is an ohtani gambling truther was literally the first thing I excitedly texted my friends about so critical support for that
Mike Najjar
2025-03-21 23:30:20 +0000 UTChayesman absolutely nailed the description of ohtani's face

2025-03-21 18:18:21 +0000 UTCFan Favorite Utility Player: Marco Scutaro (I know I saw some fellow erstwhile A's fans out here)

2025-03-21 17:21:35 +0000 UTCOhtani is also not from Tokyo. He's from a prefecture that's a two hour bullet train ride away. Like saying someone from DC is playing in their hometown in a game at fenway

2025-03-21 16:55:20 +0000 UTCMore fun types of guys Catcher Who has Played a Million Years and Commands Universal Respect Active examples: Salvatore Perez; JT. Realmuto. Past examples: Yadi; Jason Kendall; Pudge; Benito Santiago; Piazza; Victor Martinez, Bench, Berra. Fan Favorite Utility Player Active examples: Tommy Edman, Marwin Gonzalez, Matt Carpenter, Nick Madrigal*, Willi Castro. Every fun team has one of these guys. They can be a scrappy young defensive specialist, an older guy aging into a bench role (i.e. Howie Kendrick, kicked ass), or someone who is really just mid but plays SO hard and is such a great clubhouse guy that everyone is rooting for him. *Nick Madrigal (out for the season, sucks) is also a Fuck the Three True Outcomes guy (one of the best types of guy: Ichiro; Tony Gwynn; Louis Arraez) Can play all over, doesn’t walk, doesn’t strike out, doesn’t hit dingers, constantly puts the ball in play.
