and his mom graduated from high school together, so I initially felt some need to like him last year. Then I watched him play and saw that he takes the “catch” out of “catcher.”
And can't catch a baseball and yet is known as a catcher
Seriously, most of my hatred from Rob Johnson is stemmed from the fact that scorekeepers are idiots and give Felix wild pitches because Rob Johnson can’t fucking catch a baseball.
He’s actually trying to be a more useful hitter at the plate this year. Time will tell if it works in the long run. If only he would fix his passed ball problem…
Bahahaha
Griffin Cooper - May 3, 2010
The only people that would vote for "love" are Felix and Don Wakamatsu
Griffin Cooper - May 3, 2010
Oh yeah Fogel too
Griffin Cooper - May 3, 2010
Rob just wishes that he could catch more than Felix's pitches.
Coach Owens - May 3, 2010
I just wish he could catch more *of* Felix's pitches
thecapn - May 3, 2010
There will be one Love and it will be Fogel.
Mariner John - May 3, 2010
That's not how you spell "One won lost won."
Double06 - May 3, 2010
Or dickish other teams' fans.
Mariner John - May 3, 2010
Actually Johnson makes Joh look a lot better by comparison.
Do you suppose that Kenji could be slumming on a Mariners blog?
PDXTai - May 3, 2010
There are 30 others like me!
Dewey N - May 4, 2010
I hate him like poison. Someone should poison him.
CHutMariners - May 3, 2010
I want to see Johjima poll soon with only one option.
JY - May 3, 2010
You probably just ruined the joke.
Way too go, Jay! GAH!
JLProck - May 3, 2010
Well Johjima comes before Johnson alphabetically so probably not.
Mariner John - May 3, 2010
Yeah there's a couple reasons why Kenji's not going to be on this list
DrunkAmerican - May 3, 2010
If that's what it took, that's probably the longest lifespan a joke has had around here.
JY - May 3, 2010
I'm still trying to keep the "B.J. Upton is lazy" joke alive and well.
JLProck - May 3, 2010
Kenji has:
A – Back spasms.
PDXTai - May 3, 2010
I don't think that's the joke
seattlebruin - May 3, 2010
Okay how do six people LOVE rob johnson?
CHutMariners - May 3, 2010
Crack?
Coach Owens - May 3, 2010
Two parents and two sets of grandparents = 6.
PDXTai - May 3, 2010
The same way a few people hate Felix and Guti.
JY - May 3, 2010
Scrappy.
InSpokane - May 3, 2010
I think there's a typo with the s.
yuniform - May 4, 2010
He may have family members.
TrustBaseball - May 3, 2010
Anaconda, MT!
JY - May 3, 2010
My mom
and his mom graduated from high school together, so I initially felt some need to like him last year. Then I watched him play and saw that he takes the “catch” out of “catcher.”
danhutz - May 3, 2010 via mobile
Nevermind. I just heard Rob Johnson keeps six laptops in his locker.
CHutMariners - May 3, 2010
That's because he keeps dropping them.
PDXTai - May 3, 2010
To be fair, they were thrown with some late break.
JLProck - May 3, 2010
Easy vote, I hate Rob Johnson.
He’s not a catcher, he’s a dropper.
Heydude - May 3, 2010
7 people are wrong.
I Lick Squirrels - May 3, 2010
Rob Johnson is so lame I can't even hate him!
It’s just a tepid don’t like.
Rich Langford - May 3, 2010
I am utterly blown away
that there are people who don’t hate Rob Johnson. I don’t hate him as much as Hitler, but right in there with Pol Pot. More than Bobby Ayala even.
dlukas - May 3, 2010
I'm with noontide - he's just too lame to hate.
TrustBaseball - May 3, 2010
He's not a bad person, he's just bad
It’s not his fault people keep paying him to play a position he sucks at
DrunkAmerican - May 3, 2010
Why is this even a question?
EequalsMc2 - May 3, 2010
Rob Johnson a damn decent baseball player.
JamMasterJesus - May 3, 2010
I'm so angry about the hate I forgot the word 'is'.
JamMasterJesus - May 3, 2010
And the word "not".
RunningFool - May 3, 2010
And can't catch a baseball and yet is known as a catcher

cwel87 - May 3, 2010
Rob Johnson's refusal to swing at most things has upgraded him from hate to don't like for me.
Goose - May 3, 2010
This is exactly my feeling as well.
Gihyou - May 3, 2010
Im sure 4 passed balls will convince you?
EequalsMc2 - May 3, 2010
I actually like Rob Johnson.
He’s actually trying to be a more useful hitter at the plate this year. Time will tell if it works in the long run. If only he would fix his passed ball problem…

You have to understand the effects of:
DrunkAmerican - May 3, 2010
We know for a fact that people from other websites answer these polls, despite the "I, As a Mariner Fan" intro.
CapSea - May 4, 2010
I thought we were trolls
Robert - May 4, 2010
I put hate.
But I should’ve said don’t like. It’s not like he isn’t trying. He just frickin sucks at catching.
