#24 Most Hated - 1 point Seriously, these were difficult, because they were all just tiny pet peeves of individual folks. I tried. Dansby Swanson Team: Atlanta Braves Debut: August 17, 2016  What's to hate? Annoying pretty boy whose real first name is James anyway. Chris Sale Team: Boston Red Sox Debut: August 6, 2010  What's to hate? Very good, but slightly insane pitcher who took a pair of scissors to a set of throwback jerseys that he didn't want to wear and spent too much time & energy defending Drake LaRoche. Lucas Giolito Team: Chicago White Sox Debut: June 28, 2016  What's to hate? The ballot I received says the hatred is "purely out of spite", so that is that.  Giolito is just doing his thing without bothering anyone, lol.Justin Wilson Team: Chicago Cubs Debut: August 20, 2012  What's to hate? I literally never heard of this guy before I received this vote, but he appears to be a mediocre relief pitcher providing nothing but heartache for the Cubs since 2017. Definitely worth a single point of hatred, if you ask me. Tommy Pham Team: Debut: September 9, 2014  What's to hate? He's a very good player who is also a Cardinal, and I suspect that's enough for this Cubs-y internet forum. edit: He wasn't a Cardinal at the time that I wrote this, so please disregard. Justin Turner Team: Los Angeles Dodgers Debut: September 9, 2009  What's to hate? Waited until he was off the Mets to start playing like a pro. Mets fans will NEVER forgive him.  Giancarlo Stanton Team: New York Yankees Debut: June 8, 2010  What's to hate? Guessing this was Mike Fiers's alt account or something, considering Stanton has been performing quite sufficiently with the Yankees this year and the person who voted doesn't have any Red Sox in their top 10 favorites. Brett Gardner Team: New York Yankees Debut: June 30, 2008  What's to hate? Has an alien head, is good against the Jays, etc. Current Rankings quote:24. Dansby Swanson, Chris Sale, Lucas Giolito, Justin Wilson, Tommy Pham, Justin Turner, Giancarlo Stanton, Brett Gardner YeahTubaMike fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Aug 16, 2018 |

#24 Most Loved - 7 points Blake Snell Team: Tampa Bay Rays Debut: April 23, 2016  What's to love? He is an underrated but solid pitcher, and Chris Archer will make sure you know it. Chris Archer posted:He leads the league in ERA. That means he's given up the fewest amount of runs per nine innings out of any starting pitcher in the league...If you didn't have him on your [All-Star] ballot, I hope that next year you take it a little bit more serious and put in the due diligence, because this is important.  They're bros.  Snell also has a touch of deGrom syndrome, performing very well on a consistent basis but not being supported by a particularly good team. Don't worry, the internet is noticing.  John Axford Team: Debut: September 15, 2009  What's to love? Axford has been a bit of a nomad lately, being past his prime. He's been on six teams in the past five years, one of which was a dream come true. https://twitter.com/johnaxford/status/962793527838150656 Playing abilities aside, he is a rather quirky gentleman who is very proud of his mustache.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsP7VIDYMJo He majored in film & television in college, and makes appearances in & sponsors the film festival of the city he made his debut in, Milwaukee. Justin Verlander Team: Houston Astros Debut: July 4, 2005  What's to love? He is a very good pitcher. He managed to impregnate Kate Upton, which I assume is an accomplishment for straight male people...  ...but the seven-time All-Star, two-time no-hitter pitcher, & ALCS MVP just very, very good at pitching.  He's a shining gem in the crown that is the Astros rotation, and at 35 he's barely (if at all?) showing signs of slowing down. Additionally, no matter what anyone says, he has not exactly condoned the Astros' decision to sign Roberto Osuna, who has been suspended after committing domestic violence. https://twitter.com/MLByahoosports/status/1024085475747753985 Albert Pujols Team: Los Angeles Angels Debut: April 2, 2001  What's to love? Albert Pujols is a sapient Silver Slugger. He has won the award six times, and he has lead the NL in home runs twice. Dude never stops mashing dingers.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HecT79ljqx0 When he's not mashing dingers, he & his family are running their foundation, helping kids with Down syndrome and kids in his native Dominican Republic. He seems like a pretty good guy. Current Rankings quote:24. Blake Snell, John Axford, Justin Verlander, Albert Pujols YeahTubaMike fucked around with this message at 15:08 on Aug 4, 2018 |

Lucas Giolito is adorably bad at playing the French horn and they put an extended bit of him trying to remember how to play it up on the big screen one day during a rain delay. That being said, he’s not that good this year and I could see an actual White Sox fan being angry at him as a result.Popete posted:Yeah I was gonna say I'm not even sure if this was a Cubs fan, he was like the least hateable Cardinal because he clearly held disdain for the front office.

The only thing with Pham is that there's certainly some overconfidence there. He went into this season basically saying to the StL media "This is going to be my 30-30 year, trust me". And he didn't say it in an arrogant way, he did it in the way a person with fierce determination said it. He works extremely hard and if there could be a payout for "guts" are he'd get the prize. Note: "guts" are different from hustle and scrap. The StL front office is super terrible and I hate them. But Pham had an issue with money that really did need another year of production to justify it. I hope he kicks rear end in Tampa Bay because he's a good player and a good guy.

#23 Most Hated - 2 points Christian Vázquez Team: Boston Red Sox Debut: July 9, 2014  What's to hate? I am not entirely sure, to be honest. The most controversial thing I could find about him is that he expected the Yankees to retaliate after Joe Kelly hit Tyler Austin with a pitch. Luke Gregerson Team: St. Louis Cardinals Debut: April 6, 2009  What's to hate? Well, he's not very good, I suppose. He's got a -.03 WAR and a 7.11 ERA this season, so... Pablo Sandoval Team: San Francisco Giants Debut: August 14, 2008  What's to hate? He has struggled with his weight over the course of his entire career, which has led to lack of productivity and other various issues on the field. Andrew Benintendi Team: Red Sox Debut: August 2, 2016  What's to hate? He is a good Red Sock who is not Mookie Betts, Nathan Eovaldi, or Chris Sale, therefore he is worthless. Noah Syndergaard Team: New York Mets Debut: May 12, 2015  What's to hate? If you like Chase Utley for some reason, hating Syndergaard for throwing at Chase Utley makes sense. It's also gross that he got hand, foot, & mouth disease, a disease most commonly associated with kids. Cole Hamels Team: Debut: May 12, 2006  What's to hate? I am well & truly stumped. The 2008 World Series MVP helps run a charity foundation that helps disadvantaged children and hasn't said or done anything particularly hosed up. Someone help. Fernando Rodney Team: Minnesota Twins Debut: May 4, 2002  What's to hate? He's not particularly good, and that bow & arrow thing he does when he gets a strikeout is annoying. Current Rankings quote:23.

#23 Most Loved - 8 points Next time, I think I'll just do the top 20 or something, because there's a ten-way tie here.  Wilmer Flores Team: New York Mets Debut: August 6, 2013  What's to love? He's probably famous-est for crying on the field upon learning of a rumor that he was being traded to the Brewers in 2015, but aside from his sensitive side, there are plenty of other reasons to care about him. For example, he likes the show Friends...kind of a lot.   Personally I don't see the appeal, but whatever. Friends helped him get better at English and fight homesickness, and the theme song is his walkup music. Also, this video is on his Instagram. Flores also recently surpassed David Wright as king of the walk-off. In July he hit his 10th career walk-off, which is the most in Mets franchise history. Dude is clutch as gently caress. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCYXYzvQZIY Enrique Hernández Team: Los Angeles Dodgers Debut: July 1, 2014  What's to love? Despite the fact that he loves Chase Utley, he's still awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qU9VguME3TU Excellent dancer/chair-grinder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKXmCvhI4oQ Without his offense, the Dodgers would not have made it to the World Series last year.  A complete oddball.   Sean Doolittle Team: Washington Nationals Debut: June 5, 2012  What's to love? Sean Doolittle is an unabashed social justice warrior, and he & his wife were called baseball's "most woke couple" by the Washington Post. https://twitter.com/whatwouldDOOdo/status/1024053915988443138 He goes out of his way to support disadvantaged people. Sean Doolittle posted:When I was a kid, I remember my parents would say, ‘Baseball is what you do, but that’s not who you are’ — like that might be my job, but that’s not the end-all, be-all. I feel like I might even be able to use it to help other people or open some doors or explore more opportunities. As the son of an Air Force vet, he is particularly inclined to support our troops, but not in a creepy jingoistic way. He supports Operation Finally Home, an organization that gives mortgage-free homes to returning veterans. Shohei Ohtani Team: Los Angeles Angels Debut: NPB: March 29, 2013 MLB: March 29, 2018   What's to love? Ohtani is the greatest baseball player to ever live.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFuSIU7A5Lc Also handsome.  Also well-loved by his teammates.   Archie Bradley Team: Arizona Diamondbacks Debut: April 11, 2015   What's to love? Archie Bradley shat his pants, and he's a good enough pitcher to have pitched a good inning with poo poo in his pants. https://twitter.com/mikeoz/status/1011645151054200833 Archie Bradley is so well-loved that the internet found his dog for him. https://twitter.com/ArchieBradley7/status/1013504064481517568 Jason Heyward Team: Chicago Cubs Debut: April 5, 2010  What's to love? Jason Heyward has won the Gold Glove five times, and for good reason.   He's also a class act who, as soon as he signed his contract with the Cubs in 2015, paid for David Ross's family's accommodations during the entire 2016 season. Jason Heyward posted:I know how special it is to have teammates like he was my first three years in Atlanta. You don't take it for granted. I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart, as a teammate and as a friend, for what he's done for me. Ozzie Albies Team: Atlanta Braves Debut: August 1, 2017  What's to love? He's a talented player who has lots of love for his teammates.   So much that a display of affection (seen below) sparked not only a hoax about Ronald Acuña, Jr.'s mom dying, but also lots of discussions about the toxicity of masculinity. https://twitter.com/pedromoura/status/1023653065801396225 Maybe not enough for Dansby Swanson?  Anyway, between his affectionate personality, solid on-field performance, and newness to the game, Ozzie Albies is an easy player to like, even for a Mets fan like myself. Trea Turner Team: Washington Nationals Debut: August 21, 2015  What's to love? Anthony Rendon's favorite player is an excellent defenseman who is light on his feet.   He has been dinged for posting some hosed up poo poo on Twitter, but his apology comes across as relatively sincere. Trea Turner posted:I believe people who know me understand those regrettable actions do not reflect my values or who I am. But I understand the hurtful nature of such language and am sorry to have brought any negative light to the Nationals organization, myself, or the game I love. Brent Suter Team: Milwaukee Brewers Debut: August 19, 2016 What's to love? Well, he's a pretty damned good actor (ignore the guy in the middle). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o5zHuMPGi0 https://twitter.com/JimCarrey/status/1005249015321989120 Also a good dancer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmbybE0nHhE Let's not focus too much on his pitching, since he just underwent Tommy John surgery a couple of days ago and is ending his season with a 4.80 ERA. Judging by the results of my "suter" search in the MLB GIF & video repository, it would seem that his role with the Brewers & in fans' hearts is more "lovable goofball" than "elite strikeout master". Evan Gattis Team: Houston Astros Debut: April 3, 2013   What's to love? El Oso Blanco has overcome a lot to get to where he is. It's true that the ESPN announcers never shut up about his trials & tribulations, but that doesn't make them any less significant.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvPI6FFV6IQ Also, he rakes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRHFwA3f97w  Current Rankings quote:23. Wilmer Flores, Enrique Hernández, Sean Doolittle, Shohei Ohtani, Archie Bradley, Jason Heyward, Ozzie Albies, Trea Turner, Brent Suter, Evan Gattis YeahTubaMike fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Aug 5, 2018 |

I'm amazed that Ohtani is so low on the list. I have a soft spot for Luke Gregerson because he threw both Poque and I a couple BP balls when he was a Padre at PetCo. I also generally have a soft spot for any Cardinals player who routinely blows games for them.

I didn't fill out a ballot, but as a way of explaining why some people might not like Cole Hamels, he hit Bryce Harper on purpose 6 years ago and then admitted that he did it for the stupidest reason ever.Washington Post posted:“I was trying to hit him,” Hamels said. “I’m not going to deny it. That’s just — you know what, it’s something that I grew up watching, that’s what happened, so I’m just trying to continue the old baseball — I think some people kind of get away from it. I remember when I was a rookie the strike zone was really, really small and you didn’t say anything just because that’s the way baseball is. Sometimes the league is protecting certain players and making it not that old-school, prestigious way of baseball.”

I'm really having difficulty parsing this for some reason. Did he hit Harper because he was annoyed about the previous day's blowout? Or was it some sort of weird "in the good old days you hit your rival's best players to keep them on their toes" thing? Not that either reason (or any reason) makes it okay, I'm just confused as to what Hamels is actually claiming his motivation was.

#22 Most Loved - 9 points James Paxton Team: Seattle Mariners Debut: September 7, 2013   What's to love? James Paxton is the second Canadian to throw a no-hitter in MLB history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pT2QQTvO-uQ He's a very underrated pitcher with ice in his veins, judging by the fact that an eagle landing on him out of loving nowhere didn't faze him at all.  James Paxton posted:It was coming right for me and I was like, 'Alright, the guy is over there. And I'm not the eagle guy'...but I guess this eagle was just confused -- apparently the first time ever. I was just standing there trying not to panic. I wasn't going to run. I figured I'm not going to outrun an eagle, so we might as well just see what happens. Paul Goldschmidt Team: Arizona Diamondbacks Debut: August 1, 2011  What's to love? Never ever ever ever stops hitting.  https://twitter.com/MLBStatoftheDay/status/1025563420119257090 After hitting .364 and batting in 23 runs, he earned NL Player of the Month recognition in June. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyvGOrPhThE The D-backs' star player & three-time Silver Slugger is loved by all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIsx0EuwXs0 Not that I'd expect them to say anything bad about any of their other teammates, in all fairness. Noah Syndergaard Team: New York Mets Debut: May 12, 2015   What's to love? When he's not antagonizing Robert Gsellman or banging Mrs. Met, he's being a great pitcher.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPLN_6ujcTM He did a shirtless interview during spring training, which was pretty cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAQFD-7qLSA He's a funny guy with a massive social media presence who even had a good sense of humor about contracting hand, foot & mouth disease which is extremely gross. https://twitter.com/Noahsyndergaard/status/1021437608193212416 He is also loved by Wilmer Flores.

All those guys are pretty cool (idk Julio Tehran that well so I'm assuming it's a divisional thing) so I'm just going to assume we are still firmly in the minor gripe portion of peoples hated lists.

People probably hate Lester because he's a big whiny baby on the field who stares into dugouts and yells at the ump when he doesn't get borderline strikes and generally does all the things that if he were brown would get him called a problem but because he's white make him a grizzled competitor. That's only on the field though: off the field he seems to be a pretty chill guy, is pretty much universally beloved in the clubhouse, and had some pretty darn uplifting responses to the whole racist players on twitter blowup.

Honestly, it's not until #18 that I fully understand why everyone in the ranking is hated, and it's not until #11 that I personally 100% agree. edit2: Sydin posted:People probably hate Lester because he's a big whiny baby on the field who stares into dugouts and yells at the ump when he doesn't get borderline strikes and generally does all the things that if he were brown would get him called a problem but because he's white make him a grizzled competitor. I believe you, but I don't know if I watch him enough to notice him doing stuff like that.

Julio is from Braves fans hating him because he's maddeningly inconsistent. He's either flirting with a no hitter or he can't find the strike zone with a basketball

I thought people didn’t like Lester because of his fear of picking off runners

I wouldnt say he is afraid of it, more that he physically can't do it
