Blue Jays sound off on the worst walk-up songs in baseball
The general consensus on walk-up songs: No Miley Cyrus.
By LAURA ARMSTRONGStaff Reporter
Wed., March 1, 2017
DUNEDIN, FLA.-When it comes to baseball, Toronto Blue Jays players are all on the same side - that is until you bring up walk-up songs.
Some prefer the twang of a country tune. For others, it’s the beat in a rap that gets the blood pumping.
At a recent photo day here, Blue Jays players had the chance to sound off on the worst jams they have heard accompany their teammates and opponents to the plate or the mound.
“There’s some pretty bad ones out there,” pitcher Aaron Loup said.
And their answers were about as varied as they come.
Some, like pitcher J.A. Happ, were reluctant to throw any of their teammates under the bus.
Others, like pitcher Marcus Stroman and infielder Ryan Goins, were more than happy to take shots at their teammates’ taste - and it sounds like it wasn’t the first time Justin Smoak and Kevin Pillar have been under fire.
Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia knows how it feels to have a bad tune picked for him. He wasn’t alone.
“My teammates one time put the Barney song as my walk up without telling me and I was not happy about it, to say the least,” infielder Darwin Barney said.
There was one thing most players did seem to agree on, though.
The general rule?
When you’re choosing your walk-up song, don’t make it Miley Cyrus.

Baseball needs more punk and metal fans....come on guys... those genres pair so well with the sport.

Can anybody tell me what the song for Smoak’s was?
I played with Marcus Stroman’s brother, Jaiden, on the LI HDMH Titans.
The final countdown is a good song, but I learned the hard way that it was a really bad walk up song last year
lol I loved the video game one. If I ever played in the Bigs I always wanted to walk up to Guile's theme from Street Fighter II.

It is so hard not to absolutely love these guys. The one you guys didn't talk to was Russell Martin. Would love to hear what he had to say. And why didn't Jose Bautista come back?
Melvin’s face showed so many emotions all at once
Miguel Montero, I think in 2011 for Arizona, had Chacarron by El Chombo. Legendary

Wrecking Ball was Mike Moustakas during his slump in 2014
My friend walked out to we are never getting back together by taylor swift. I thought it was good because it was the part where it says i knew you were trouble when you walked in.
What's smoaks song
Devon Travis I went to the buffalo bisons season opener and Cecilane still had all American middle class white boy 😂😂 how do u get pumped up by that
Kevin Pillar's should be the Superman theme song, Justin Smoak's should be Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple.
I was at my school's last home baseball game of the season and one guy had Bob Marley as their walk up song
I think the manager of the blue jays is coming to our high school baseball team😂 ion even play baseballs
2019 definitely lalala
My coach put on Salt-n-Peppa Push it when I went up, I was so mad XD
I love country music
Justin smoak is the only person on the blue jays currently

How can you diss Smokey? Blasphemy!!!!
I had Mad World for my walk up song in the 8th grade
Look at how different the jays team is in 2019
I was wondering where Bautista was??!!
