He isn't RJ

Yup I like him because he isn’t RJ, then again if they put an empty laundry basket behind the plate I would like that more that RJ as well

Adam Moore is Rob Johnson without the walks

So no, I do not like him

by niceguysfinishlast on May 5, 2010 4:11 PM PDT reply actions

He's a young catcher doing his first run in the majors.

Give him time.

Alternatively, Rob Johnson is Adam Morre without the caught baseballs.

*Moore.

My typing has really gone to shit lately.

by Eyeball Kid on May 5, 2010 4:44 PM PDT up reply actions

Basically Adam Moore is a catcher, RJ thinks he is.

Everything is Rob Johnson's fault.

RJ is an outfielder wearing catching gear.

Moore seems to have plenty of problems catching baseballs himself.

And he’s the same age of Rob Johnson so……yea. At least Johnson can draw a BB

by niceguysfinishlast on May 6, 2010 9:54 AM PDT up reply actions

Rob Johnson he is not, therefore I like.

by russak on May 5, 2010 4:12 PM PDT reply actions

I like him...

Though it’d be interesting to see the results of this poll if it had been done during spring training. I think the majority of votes would be love/like, instead of like/uninterested.

by David Sarmento on May 5, 2010 4:27 PM PDT reply actions

I'm still high on him.

It’s only been a month, and honestly he hasn’t looked that horrible at the plate.
He’s not producing, but his swing still looks good.

This reminds me of Jerry Seinfeld talking about the luge.

Oh come on who the fuck hates Adam Moore

The same person that hates Felix and Cliff?

by David Sarmento on May 5, 2010 4:44 PM PDT up reply actions

Who is it that sits there and looks for polls to fuck with?

Are those the same people that giggle at a your mom joke?

Everything is Rob Johnson's fault.

by the other side on May 5, 2010 4:47 PM PDT up reply actions

Well, I could certainly imagine fans of other teams hating Felix and Cliff, because they're ridiculously good

But Adam Moore?

And yeah I know these polls are not intended to be voted on by fans of other teams, but I'm sure it happens

by Griffin Cooper on May 5, 2010 4:49 PM PDT up reply actions

That's a good call on Felix and Cliff.

Maybe it was RJ.

by David Sarmento on May 5, 2010 4:50 PM PDT up reply actions

Fogel.

by Eyeball Kid on May 5, 2010 4:45 PM PDT up reply actions

No I voted that I liked him

by Dewey N on May 5, 2010 10:31 PM PDT up reply actions

My bad.

by Eyeball Kid on May 5, 2010 10:35 PM PDT up reply actions

He has been pretty awful so far this season.

by MFAN on May 5, 2010 5:05 PM PDT up reply actions

We are 26 games into the season. That is not a valid reason to hate him.

by Griffin Cooper on May 5, 2010 5:14 PM PDT up reply actions

I agree, but honestly there isn't a reason to hate any one of these players. Moore hasn't helped the team yet, so i think it's somewhat justifiable.

by MFAN on May 5, 2010 6:10 PM PDT up reply actions

Found him!

Yeah I don't know how I feel about publicizing how other people vote

People are entitled to their opinions and we don’t need to discuss them in a public setting.

On the other hand, he's also clearly trolling.

A few trolls mean nothing given 1000-2000 votes

Right.

What I was getting at was more along the lines of “he’s trying to get a reaction, so don’t respond to him”.

He hates RRS and Milton too.

What a fucker.

ROB JOHNSON IS THE WORST PERSON EVER

by I Lick Squirrels on May 5, 2010 6:43 PM PDT up reply actions

Now that I think about it, its more of a dislike. It’s not really rational, but I’m trolling or anything. He’s looked like a pretty horrible catcher so far, and he seems totally lost at the plate. He’s no spring chicken either, he’ll be 26 here in a couple of days. The “He isn’t Rob Johnson” thing doesn’t really fly with me: I’ve got plenty of hate to go around.

I think I’m mostly just sick of this organization falling in love with catchers who suck. (I understand that evidence of Moore’s talent exists, I’m just not holding my breath that he ever becomes anything close to league average.)
