Who is your "nemesis" in the Show?

I'm making this thread to see which players, especially non-highly rated ones, seem to always get the best of you. Of course the great players are tough to go against but what player can get under your skin that isn't a star?

For me SP Jerad Eickhoff of the Phillies gives me fits every single time I face him. I don't know why. His fastball just creeps up on me until it's too late.

As far as position players Travis Shaw (even though he's pretty highly rated) always gives me a tough out.

How about you guys?

Jose Altuve routinely gets multi-hit games against me. Also, Kole Calhoun/Mike Trout, and Rougned Odor.

Re: Who is your "nemesis" in the Show?

You only have one? Lucky lol. These are all from my 2014 carry over.

Jared Weaver - Can't handle his repertoire.
Marco Estrada - I think in after facing him in two world series (the pirates have him in their pen) I've only ever gotten 1 hit off him.
Francisco Liriano - all the runs I've gotten off him are small ball. Walk. Steal. Bunt. Sac Fly. That is a best case scenario inning.
Tanner Scheppers - Seriously who is this guy?

All of the above pitchers are now in the pirates organization. So glad the Cards took them out in the wild card this postseason.

Pedro Alvarez - The guy can't not hit a homerun off me. Even on pitches out of the zone. I started intentionally walking him every AB. Also on the pirates still. Again, so glad they got taken out.
Will Myers - I've learned how to handle him. Never... Ever... Pitch in the zone.

135ish games into my Tribe franchise and Jorge Soler has approximately 26 homeruns with the Royals. It feels as if he has hit 25 of them against me.

Off the top of my head:
Trevor Cahil...can't stay patient and wait for top of the zone pitches, I just jump on his change, 2seam, and sinker below the knees and hit grounders all day.

Clayton Richards...similar deal with Cahil, but his arm angle makes it hard for me to decide whats a strike till too late.

Whenever I play my Indians chise, Jose Iglesias gives me fits.
