Who’s your favorite enemy?

[survivedc]

Mookie. Almost as good as Trout but a better personality on the field. Plus he’s a small dude so it’s fun to see a guy his size with his power.

Anyone wearing a Toronto Blue Jays uniform.  Let's be democratic about it.

Based on Philip's definition of a "favorite enemy" being a guy we like who plays for another team... I'd have to go with Jeff Francoeur, although he's retired. He always seemed to be smiling on the field, like he was just happy to be there.

Current player... I'll go with Max Scherzer. He's just a crazy hotheaded competitor. Always gives it 110%, and sometimes to his detriment, he tries to go as deep into games as he can.

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

Unless the pitch is right down the middle.  Then he has to nod his head up and down emphatically, like "Yes, I agree that was a strike".  No kidding, it was right down the middle of the plate.  

He drives me nuts.

That's a great pick. Imagine if he was on the O's, he would be everyone's favorite player hands down. True story, my friend who is a Sox fan got to go bowling with Mookie. Seems like an awesome guy in addition to a talented player.

I always loved watching Pedro Martinez. Among current enemies I certainly can't hate on Zack Britton.

Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani and now Dylan Bundy.

This is never going to look right to me. 

Angels still have the worst record in the AL.  Just proving that baseball is the ultimate team sport.

David Price is one of my favorite non-Orioles despite playing ~11 of his 12 seasons on three different AL East teams. 

Being a Yankee is the hardest to overcome. I liked Curtis Granderson even though he had his best offensive seasons there.

Mine has been the Phillies....I always was an Os fan but had a Phillies hat when they had Dalton, Dykstra, and company

[HowAboutThat]

I went and looked up the Joey bats bat flip game, gosh what a fantastic game that was, definitely one for the ages.

I sure hate Joey bats, but boy he sure handed it to the Rangers that day

Particularly when their starting rotation, outside of Bundy, has made the Orioles rotation look like the 90's Atlanta Braves.

I can't think of anyone in the current game I'd consider an enemy and a favorite.  I take no solace in getting torched by anyone on the Yankees, because it's happened too frequently, I can't name most of the guys on the Rays, the Jays hitters are young and likely to be a royal pain for years to come, and the Red Sox see the Yankees prior to this season.

While retired, strange as it is I have to go with Mariano Rivera.  He always seemed like one of the classy players, had the respect of his peers, was an absolute master at what he did, and infuriating to go against because when you did 90 something percent of the time you were going to lose.  But, in those rare instances where you did get the better of him it was so damn satisfying.

I am not a Nationals fan, but was always a fan of Scherzer. Honorable mention to Starsburg, had wished the Orioles had drafted him.
