Pre-At Bat Music

is that sean rodriguez thing a joke

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/joe_lemire/01/31/at.bat.intro.songs/index.html

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."

now that he is a dignified four years old, he doesn't really do this anymore, and it doesn't show one of his *really* high jumps, but: my kitty had some yeast

lol wrong thread

@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.

The Dodgers reported the most Hip-Hop/Rap selections with 20. The Cubs were rather sparse with just two, and that’s only if we generously interpret the genre contributions of Marky Mark and his funky bunch. The Diamondbacks are the most country-focused team with 8 total selections, although Zack Greinke accounts for a quarter of those. The Nationals were the most metal team; the Oakland A’s the most rock and roll.

jason werth: werewolves of london

Our friend @whalers44 informs us that the Braves played the "Oompa Loompa" song as Altuve (.342, 12 HR 113 H, 47 RBI) came to bat last week.

stay classy, barves

Todd Frazier uses Sinatra's "Fly Me to the Moon," which suggests to me he's still a fuckin' Yankee

Nick Hundley - Candlebox “Shine”

collective soul?

Whoops, yes Collective Soul.

I was just in awe how anyone (esp of baseball playing age) even remembers that terrible, terrible song.

At tonight's Dodgers game, Kenta Maeda's pre-at-bat music is "Slow Down" by Lights Follow, the international theme to Terrace House.

It was interesting to hear the differences between the Japanese crowd and the American crowd. I’d have thought the Japanese wouldn’t be so rowdy for such a long time.

Roughly belongs here... Fenway organist Josh Kantor played before (and with) Yo La Tengo last night in NYC.

Get your magnifying glass; here are the 873 song requests I played on the Fenway organ in 2019. Thank you to all whose participation/encouragement makes my dream job so fun and weird. pic.twitter.com/NpE7oO9J01
