Most annoying batting stance in baseball?

[imirish06]

Off the top of my head.... Youk, Sheffield, and Eckstein all annoy the shit of me.

[ForlrnPerplxity]

Craig Counsell, by far.

[QuikTrig]

Craig Counsell, by far.

absolutely.

[imirish06]

Ah, I forgot about him!

[thatsignant]

It's not really a stance but I hate the Jap slap style of hitting

[imirish06]

ryan braun pisses me off too

[screamoutmyname]

craig counsell, as well... no one else really jumps out at me

[SwiftSilentDead]

Tony Batista always comes to mind when I think of weird batting stances.

[TotalCollapse]

Same. I remember Cal Ripken tried that stance for a little while, but it didn't work out so well.

[xbrokendownx]

Counsell and Youkilis

[acfrue]

Counsell and Sheffield are really annoying, and even though this really isnt a stance, I hate how Nomar adjusts his gloves after every pitch, its a bit ADD.

[QuikTrig]

oh, chuck knoblauchs was so irritating.

[pand75]

Counsell changed his stance I noticed this year.

[NoOneRunsFaster]

Fernando Vina. Mostly for his pre-at bat routine. Ralphael Palmero. Fuck I hated watching Palmero so much.

[J.C.]

Eckstein. Hate that douche.

[batmannj]

Craig Counsell, by far.

Counsell and Youkilis
Totally agree. Youk's little thing he does is supremely irritating.
Eckstein. Hate that douche.
I can't stand him either. The worst part about it was he was the MVP from the World Series where my Tigers lost.... :(

[Srsly]

Kevin Youkilis by far. What a homo.

[bigmike]

I don't find a batting stance annoying.

[WakingTheMisery]

oh, chuck knoblauchs was so irritating.

Came in to say this. He was my favorite though.

[thesafeword]

I like Youk's stance.

[sweetforever]

Tony Batista always comes to mind when I think of weird batting stances.

Came in here to post this. Oh and I love Youk's stance

[about3fitty]

i dont know if this counts, but nomar and the shit he does with his gloves. ughhhh i want to kick him in the throat when he does that. your gloves are on your hands, the arent going anywhere you fuck

[<3rkwon]

Counsell and Youkilis

exactly

[screamoutmyname]

Counsell and Youkilis

youkilis' stance is so distracting

[Smithers]

Mickey Tettleton used to hold the bat almost completely horizontal. i always thought that was weird.

[soundofthebrown]

What people have said already, and Coco Crisp with his stupid chin thing that he does.

Off the top of my head.... Youk, Sheffield, and Eckstein all annoy the shit of me.
What? Love all three of these.

[lenard27]

Ichiro with his sleeve thing that he does.

[Kaleidoscope]

Johnny Damon's stance is pretty annoying.

[silentstar1134]

the first time I saw youk's stance I was like wtf

[xerovision1]

youkilis

[silentstar1134]

It's not really a stance but I hate the Jap slap style of hitting

Don't mess with success...Who won the world baseball classic?

[onetwentyseven]

[duhpunk]

gTYbi5PQk2U

I hated Todd Zeile's stance, he just stood straight up with the bat on his shoulders and looked like he wasn't even ready to swing.

[thatsignant]

Irrelevant

[Indoor Living]

Whenever batters crowd the plate really badly, it just gets on my nerves. Its not a bad thing, but it just bugs me.

Irrelevant

yes, but tru though

[Brandon Allin]

There is something about Jack Cust that drives me fucking crazy.

[Villanova1L]

Youk is by far my least favorite.

[mimi12]

Craig Counsell, by far.

yes i definetely agree with that one and Eckstein too! lol

[MKEcasey]

Craig Counsell USED to have a bad stance. It has changed drastically from last season, to this season. He has it down to something pretty normal now. Had you asked me last season, I would have agreed with all of you. But his new stance must be working well for him, he is currently batting a .338.

[Bob Payne]

Gary Sheffield and that pencil thin beard he wears sometimes.

[awfulwaffle]

How has noone said Cliff Floyd yet?

[nlo13]

tony batista

[DooDooBird]

any douchebag that dances at the plate and/or continually touches his helmet

and i hate Pujols batting stance... it looks too uncomfortable

[rcrook]

yeah its real uncomfortable for him. if only he changed his stance he could have the potential to be one of baseball's best

[Oddpac87]

I always hated Luis Gonzalez and his insanely open stance and always moving his leg up and down. Drove me fucking mental.

[CloseToShore]

I'm going with Youk. But who was that guy from like 5 years ago that would stand there facing the pitcher with the bat in front of him like he was some kind of ninja or something, then spun around to take a swing? Shit, this is gonna bug me now since I can't remember.

[fightinirish217]

I vote Youk, cause I hate him with a fiery passion. Counsell used to have an absurd stance. Sheffield's annoying too.

Most boring ever, Todd Ziele. He just stood there with the bat rested on his shoulder haha.

[JoshFTW]

johnny damons stance is really annoying.

[galacticfates]

anyone remember moises alou?

[JTMcKrackles]

Kevin Youkilis, hands down.

[whataclush]

your mom, hands down.

[Saltman21]

your mom, hands down.

Not funny ya moron.

Anyway Youk defiantly has the most annoying stance

[freewheelburnin]

does craig counsell still play? cause that dude got on my nerves.

[Animalhill]

haha jesus you're right, thats Scott Rolen. My bad- at work and I googled Chipper Jones batting stance and that came up. Its not really Chipper's batting STANCE, its his prestance routine that irks me.

[thatsignant]

chipper jones??

[goodnews]

I always thought it was hilarious how Cal would change his stance 2 or 3 times during the same AB. I don't understand why people talk shit about David Eckstein; I'm not sure what's wrong with his stance. He chokes up cause he's a choke and poke hitter. That's what he has to be. Don't talk shit on one of the hardest working team players in baseball. Dude plays hard as fuck and gets the job done. His stance isn't unnecessarily obnoxious like Youkilis and Counsell's old stance.

[coreysetfail]

Youkilis, Youkilis, Youkilis.

[MyBestFiend]

Garciaparra's ridiculous batting gloves routine was dumb.

[underdawg1119]

I vote Jeff Bagwell.
