Other than Jose Bautista, now that David Ortiz has retired, I can't think of a player that more deserved to be hit in the balls.


Maybe Ryan Braun.

Is Brooks Conrad still playing?

I don't think so.

I hated it at the time, but the dude was forced into action with both Chipper and Prado being hurt.

He was a solid pinch hit option, but a terrible option on the infield.

I still remember his walk off grand slam against the Reds when we were down by 3 when I think of him.

Worst part about 2010 was knowing that if Bobby had just retired one season earlier, there's a strong chance that Ned Yost would still be our manager today.

Snitker has been with the Braves for like 40 years and is an awesome minor league/base coach, but a terrible MLB manager.

I always wore a cup. Thankfully, never had it tested out while mostly playing first base.

Worst baseball injury I had was when I was trying to extend my arms and bat out of the way of a high and tight fastball, but the ball ricocheted off my bat and hit me in the eye. Had to explain about 100 times to my buddies at school that I didn't get my ass kicked.

To answer your question: bad.
Also something bad: Cody Ross
Another bad thing: Joseph Stalin
Ok, not quite THAT bad...

But I understand the sentiment...

You'd better strike em all out, because every soft grounder or popup somehow found a hole against us. Maddening, especially considering all the hard outs we made.

Yeah.

That was a fun series, wasn’t it?
