phil hughes looks like SUCH a metallica fan

the cardinals' lineup is a pretty hilarious mix of unintelligble reggaeton/ringtone rap (yadi, pujols, felipe lopez), country music (colby r, holliday, joe mather etc) & 90s teenager classics (ludwick has beastie boys & freese has pearl jam)

there's really nothing in between

The Braves play a few snarky organ bars for visiting batters. A few heard this week:

Jose Reyes - "King of Pain" (injuries + "rey")
Jeff Francoeur - "These Foolish Things" (sentimental, unless theyre referencing his zone judgment)
Buster Posey - "Ring Around the Rosie"
Pat Burrell - "Cold as Ice" (the famed "no underwear" interview?)
Tim Lincecum - "Puff the Magic Dragon"

i think the Burrell jab is more directly a comment on his awful July.

sean rodriguez - joy division "transmission"

Adam Dunn - Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight"

is that sean rodriguez thing a joke

Sometimes the music can get players in trouble. In 2002 when Manny Ramirez was with the Red Sox, he made a last-minute request, via a clubhouse employee, to have his song changed just before a game. The new cut was "Good Times (I Get High)" by Styles, which has drug-themed lyrics and profanity. Boston immediately changed its policy to prohibit spontaneous requests.

-- the Internet is full of message boards listing and critiquing players' choices --

ben zobrist has the worst at-bat music in the history of the game

holy shit. Chris Getz's at bat song is the theme from Sega Genesis' RBI Baseball!

@cgrand14
I added @MobbDeep "survival of the fittest" to the at-bat list yesterday. Thanks for all the suggestions, I'm still considering a few more.

"New York got a ***** depressed."

I suggested the Pete Rock mix of PE's "Shut 'Em Down" and Nas' "It Ain't Hard to Tell." (He said he was looking for older hip-hop. Someone suggested "Game Over" by Lil' Flip. Another person suggested DJ Khaled.)

I can't believe I tweeted to an athlete.

Adam Dunn - Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight"

Also used by both Carlos Ruiz and Brian Schneider!

Travis Hafner - Rammstein "Du Hast"

Still kind of O_O that Dan Uggla uses "Love Is Strange."

1B Hee Seop Choi - Unknown Korean Rap Song

Info from the Florida Marlins: On opening day, Hee Seop showed up with a Korean rap song, and requested that it be played every time he went up to bat. The song has taken the Marlin fans by storm. The music guys have no clue who sings the song or what it says, but the crowd loves the tune ... and so does Hee Seop.

What I Got

A day after actor James Gandolfini died, Reds 3B and New Jersey native Todd Frazier replaced his Frank Sinatra at-bat music with the theme from "The Sopranos."

@susanslusser 13h
Two doses of Careless Whisper this at-bat, once before visit to mound and one after. And a wild pitch then moves up runner.

@susanslusser 13h
Well, Reddick did tell me today he thought maybe Careless Whisper might put pitchers to sleep.

Sean Doolittle warms up to "For Whom The Bell Tolls"... and the intro bells are played when he strikes somebody out.
