Who’s your favorite enemy?

[Philip]

Watching the Boston series reminded me again what a terrific player Kevin Pillar is. He doesn’t hit much( cough cough) but his defense is always spectacular, and he’s really fun to watch.

There are a few other guys we see/have seen regularly that I really like to watch, but I think Pillar is my favorite enemy, and has been since his Toronto days.

Who is yours?

Favorite & enemy are kind of an interesting mix. It used to be Bautista for sure on the Blue Jays. And accordingly I think I probably dislike the Jays the most of any division rivals. Also, Mookie Betts when he smashed us that one year.

Both are now gone, so currently I perhaps have a hole there. Aaron Judge is a complete menace at the plate, so I guess I'd have to go with him for now.

Since the White Sox are my 2nd favorite team (hardly an enemy for me, but still an opponent of the Orioles whom I ALWAYS root for to lose when they play against the Orioles), this is an easy one for me ..... Dallas Keuchel.

“Favorite enemy” is a guy we like even though he plays for a team we hate.

I dislike Bautista intensely. I think he’s a total jerk.

But I like Pillar a lot. I don’t mind that we didn’t sign him, but he’s a great player.

Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani and now Dylan Bundy.

This is never going to look right to me.

Brett Gardner. For a respected, tenured, career Yankee, he’s completely likeable.

[rudyrooster]

Randal Grichuck of the Blue Jays.  Torched us in that last series.

Still looks wrong in that Uni.

Judge.  It's a shame he can't stay healthy, he's great for the game.  It's fun when he's swinging well.

Looks just fine to me.

Really?  Because on the field he seems like a total jerk to me.  Complains about every single called strike against him.  It's infuriating.

Maybe he's a nice guy off the field though.

Agree with Moose on Judge.  Seems like a really good kid with a good head on his shoulders.

When Brett Gardner agrees the umpire made the correct judgment on a called strike it'll be the first time in his career.

I have nothing against judge, but he’s like the neighbor’s kid who comes over too often.
