Every MLB Team's WORST Lineup of the 2010s (American League)

[@JollyOlive]

Paulo Orlando is Brazilian and Eddy Alvarez is a speed skater. I can't do anything right.

[@matbettez3495]

Lol when you said French I thought....really? Learn something new everyday

[@alonpaz9088]

And ryan lavarnway is also an olympian now

Being on this list and also winning the World Series in the same year >>>

[@DT-xw9rr]

Paulo Orlando is from Brazil not France

[@jo3d0om]

Just cuz Gardy’s in the thumbnail, wanna say that his 2013 line was .273/.344/.416 with 8 homers, 33 doubles, 10 triples and 24sb

[@shawneric3340]

That’s a lot of triples

[@shoukatsukai]

And somehow less triples than Evan Gattis in 2015

[@slimmyhendrix94]

Oh you googled that ok

[@antonioreconquistador]

Cano was still hitting 30/100 and for some reason travis hafner and vernon wells were doin pretty well in the first couple months of the season.

[@kalebalbritton3416]

I have no recollection of Hideki Matsui ever being on the Rays

[@mike-0451]

Most people aren’t in the rays for more than 2 years.

[@jacobgolder6]

How about Johnny Damon and Manny Ramirez?

[@jacklorenz4274]

I wonder how many players are on this list multiple times. I know I’ve spotted Jonathan Villar more than once.

[@andrewjacks2716]

I'm amazed the White Sox lineup wasn't chosen from one of the Ventura years. Those felt like the worst teams I've cheered for.

[@Heeyynnooww]

man pick any sox lineup from like 2013-2015

[@aaronhires8620]

I’m watching this video in August of 2024, how’s this years Sox team compare? Yikes lmao

[@AndThatsBaseball]

It's funny because if the Twins lineup was all in their prime they wouldn't even be bad, plus Trev's .826 OPS against lefties that year is King shit

[@finalsecretofchrono1339]

Escobar is still one of my all time faves from that decade. Miss that dude.

[@themanthelegendjmw]

As a fan of the White Sox I can assure you we've had worse lineups than the one you showed.

[@S3P7]

Heavily agreed

[@JackAttack2225]

Jolly: “under .690 at the time… nice…” BBD: *giggles uncontrollably*

[@BennyintheBoothPodcast]

I should do a vid talking to Plouffe bout that Twins lineup

[@rslitman]

Jonathan Villar, Danny Valencia, and Ben Zobrist were in two different lineups. There may have been others; these were the ones I noticed. Also, since this was the AL, it would have been interesting to have seen who the starting pitchers were. The only interleague game I noticed was in an AL ballpark, and ironically was the only one, I think, in which you did mention the starter. Plus, the Astros game was from their AL days.

[@adrianbautista2308]

As a Yankees fan, I have a hard time forgiving them for unleashing a washed up, clean-shaven Kevin Youkilis to the baseball world

[@martytu20]

A clean shaven, tamed Josh Donaldson just makes my skin boils.

[@JayMoney81178]

Matt Carpenter is on this list.

[@BigPat216]

This is really, really fun, thanks for this! Seeing Ryan Doumit DH for the Twins is interesting.

[@MrThemacfreezie]

It's weird how a couple of these "worst line up of the 2010s" come from the 2021 season

[@Karmy.]

6:29 Tigers legend Clete Thomas

[@JonPITBZN]

"A guy named Drew Sutton who I've never heard of." I've heard of him! I remember him because the Pirates claimed him off waivers and he had a couple good weeks for them. That was the year the Pirates spent April-July pretending to be good before coming to their senses with a late-season collapse. It was the year before they were *actually* good. That team also had famed eephusballer Brock Holt, to name a name that is actually relevant to the MLB outside of Pittsburgh.

[@ryangale3757]

Yeah, funny enough, Sutton wasn't actually THAT bad for the Rays that year either in a very small sample size. He wasn't good (much like a lot of the guys they ran out), but he was at least better than the likes of Will Rhymes and Brooks Conrad on that infield.

[@notsauer]

Sutton was good on the Sox as well as a Utility guy

[@JorgeRodriguez-ih8ub]

This concept is really interesting, you have a new subscriber

[@Crzysquirrel124thst]

OMG! Olive actually used the Royals lineup I commented about in the NL video. I’m sure he had already made his selections by then, but it’s fun being right.

[@Ryan-0413]

Even uglier was the Jays’ lineup in the second game of a doubleheader back in 2015 against Baltimore. They had clinched the AL East division title in the first game, so the second game was just an ugly lineup while the regulars partied in the locker room and went to the dugout wearing sunglasses

[@brandoncook3126]

I remember me and another random Ranger fan on the internet arguing who is better between Nick Solak and Willie Calhoun all season long… good times

[@ddsmagic2806]

Congrats on 30k

[@shoukatsukai]

Yohel Pozo and Socrates Brito. What a name.

[@2girls1up]

Tyler ladendorf was that kid who was tearing up the minors and then got suspended for testing positive for THC on a drug test. He had difficulty making it back to MLB because he played better on weed

[@metsfan7376]

I think you’re talking about Jon Singleton not Ladendorf

[@Armintamzarian111]

Just subbed because of this and the NL video. Keep the history stuff coming love it

[@stevenrobinson4740]

Congrats on 30K!!! Love ya Jolly

[@ryangale3757]

God, 2012 was a mess for the Rays. Did the numbers, and between the starting SS Elliot Johnson and a collection of replacement players they used throughout the year, they wasted 776 ABs on 0.565 OPS and -2.2 bWAR's worth of production (Matsui cost them more WAR in about 100 ABs (-1.3) than Elliot Johnson was able to contribute in 3 times the ABs (0.6)). What a disaster, and yet the overall team offense was still somehow only 12th out of 14 in OPS in the AL. Different time, I guess.

[@epict1337]

I don't know why so many Tigers fans hate Dave Dombrowski for selling so many players. We weren't competitive, we weren't winning even when we were considered competitive, he gave us decent building blocks to start a fresh run off of. If he didn't sell off guys like Porcello, Verlander, JD Martinez, Castellanos, do you think we'd still have guys like Spencer Torkelson, Riley Greene, Dillon Dingler? Probably not.

[@lolcat2123]

you're making some quality content, Jolly (don't blame you for calling Paulo french, I think you might've been thinking of Jeff Francoeur)

[@sirstewartwallace3917]

Surprised that the Mariners one wasn't a lineup that included Shed Long.

[@SadMarinersFan]

Or the 2021 lineup of Walton (SS) Haniger (RF) Seager (3B) Lewis (CF) Godoy (C) Haggerty (LF) Nottingham (1B) Mayfield (2B) Dunn (P). Especially considering how much he likes contending lineups.

[@christopherkimber7679]

I love my orioles. But the last 8 years have been rough. Trey mancini has been out only consistently decent player. And that’s not a bad thing. I just hate that we’ve only had really one player that’s noticeable. Thank god we have a deep farm system. Adley, Colton Cowser gunnar Henderson, Grayson Rodriguez, Heston Kjerstad (if he can get healthy) etc. of course now we got mountcastle, he killed it last year along with Cedric (who really killed it), I have faith in Ryan, but Cedric so far this year, is making it seem like last year was a flash in the pan season. I hope not. Oh, and our best pitcher is out for the season. My friends, it ducks to be an oriole fan sometimes. 😢

[@GeeEm1313]

At least we have a good pipeline coming up. The 'calvary' of the 2010s didn't help out much. Especially the last couple years of Chris Tillman. Yeesh.

[@kevinhirtle9754]

Alen Hanson on the Jays lasted what like 2 days it seemed like Daniel Voguelbach it wasnt a long time

[@BALLCAPSports]

I haven’t watched this yet but I had to 😂😂😂 when I saw Brett Gardner front and center on the thumb!

I remember I got free tickets to see the Yankees … once i saw the lineup I was like wtf is this. They lost like 15-6 to the Baltimore orioles.

[@BiggBubbz4077]

[@jackdenten1663]

You could have tried harder for the White Sox

[@michaelcolucciello2376]

Check September 27, 2015 vs Yankees.. that was a tough White Sox lineup with the likes of Melky batting 3rd, Trayce Thompson 4th, and other guys like JB Shuck, Mike Olt and Tyler Saladino

[@patrickstar2750]

I love how I audibly said “no” when he said do you remember when hideki matsui was a ray

[@rhphoenix5]

My personal favourite for the jays was in (I think) 2018 and Russell Martin was playing left field for some reason

[@JonPITBZN]

Russell Martin liked to think that he could play every position. He played some 2B for the Yankees, some 3B for the Dodgers, and tried to convince the Pirates to play him at shortstop.

[@EvilAnticsLive]

3:33, believe it or not, I went to High School with Dustin Peterson lmao. A shame he never took off in the majors.

[@shadee9273]

As a lifelong Rangers fan, I hope you’re right.

***"We don't talk about Conor" done to the tune of Encanto's "We don't talk about Bruno"*** Yeah I have a 7 year old, it just popped in there.

I appreciate your disdain for Youk in a Yankees jersey - I almost threw up, personally

[@asdfaeou]

Trev being in one of the lineups is quite humorous.

[@samc0815]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the Orioles lineup be 2018? Andreoli, Valera, and Joseph were not on the team in 2019.

[@SomeGuyIan]

2:15 I actually watched this game live and couldn't believe they started Vaughn at second base.

[@damonsantore2345]

I was at the pads game that nick Franklin hit 2 HR, brenden Ryan also hit one out.

[@lenardisag]

Should do every team’s BEST lineup. That would be cool to see as well

[@shanegriggs2810]

Of course I got to see that 2013 opening day game for the Yankees in person...

[@Rymann_23]

Aw Jolly I was hoping you'd do the 2012 M's! That 2014 lineup was bad, but nowhere near as bad as in 2012 LMAO

[@user-qr5hp4ok3e]

They missed the playoffs by only one game in 2014. They were eliminated on the last day of the season.

[@AlanWiltsie]

3:32 I actually covered Dustin Peterson in one of my KZbin videos a while back. I saw him play in the Minor Leagues long before he reached MLB.

[@matbettez3495]

Saw Matt Domingues name. He was touted as being a star his draft year. Dude was sick before pro ball

[@playhard1337]

'17 to '19 Blue Jays featured some shocking line ups and Luke "Black Hole" Maile was in majority of them.

[@cptjockitch]

You werent trying hard enough. I remember The rays between 2009-2010 being no hit 4 times and being perfect gamed 3 times in that span. I remember I hated Joe madden changing the lineup card every damn day and being the worst manager in baseball that year. I literally remember telling my friend i was surprised the Rays didnt get no hit every game and surprise the rays got no hit 4 times in the span of a year. Joe Madden couldnt keep his hands off the lineup card and it messed with hitters heads. Sometimes the leadoff guy would hit 9th and sometimes he would hit 3rd.

[@nolanbell8]

Love this channel ❤️

[@buzz9900]

the rangers turned it around since you said that

[@emmakersten4916]

That Indians lineup was bad, but I don't think it's the worst they've put out in the last decade. May 28th, 2012 vs the Royals they had Jose Lopez batting cleanup less than a month after they DFA'd him. The lineup also featured Casey Kotchman, old man Johnny Damon, Luke Carlin, and Juan Diaz, neither of whom I remember at all despite the fact that I remember watching this game when it happened.

[@pikapal91]

Johnathan Villar in two of these lineups lmao

[@chef7423]

i think your hardest decision will be picking which god awful early 2000s royals lineup to go with

[@TheTEN24]

That’s right Jolly, Gillespie is a no no word around these parts. Btw look up our opening for citi field lineup it’s awful i have a giant poster of the field in my basement and reading that card is hilarious
