He tore it and had surgery. You may be thinking of Benintendi who broke his hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is absolutely having a bad year but good lord I was a huge TA fan. But when someone struggles as mightily as he has this year, I don't appreciate or respect when TA says in past comments, "I'm the best player at all times when I step on the field." In this interview which is recent, he states once again, he is still great. Maybe he should to be humble and tell fans he knows he isn't doing as well as he would like, but he will keep giving his best effort. I watched the post game interviews last night after the Denver Nuggets won the NBA championship. If you want to learn about the true definition of being modest and humble after not only winning the title, but the Finals MVP, just go watch and listen to Nikola Jokic in all his interviews and how it's all about his team and family first and not about him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Just lose a lot of respect for a player when the clear clubhouse leader leaves, you are a top player and have been around for the longest, and do nothing to lead the team all while blaming others and praising yourself. He's a good shortstop, possibly at the start of a long-term decline. One of many reasons I would have traded him in offseason. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFAthewave69420 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Tim Anderson seems like a guy right now who walks into the clubhouse on his own, talks to no one, plays the game, and heads home. Doesn't seem like the player/teammate he once was. Real shame. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeCredeYes Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Tim's got 3 more extra base hits than he does GIDP this year. The off the field drama that I'm sure spills over into the clubhouse isn't worth it, leave him in LA this week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes sir, that's what Tim told us. It's all about the fans and media not being positive enough. LOL! I didn't know the "best player on the field at all times" on any given sports team, needed all this positive motivation. I guess I was wrong. I always thought the best athletes on any sports team were usually self starters and self motivated...which how they got to be so good. I'm glad TA educated me correctly for the future. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloydBannister1983 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 5 hours ago, Kyyle23 said: The calendar year stuff is garbage considering he missed most of last season due to injury . He needs to be better and there is a lot of stuff going on in his life that are clearly affecting things. He wasn’t bad before he broke his hand last year How many times is he going to get the excuse “stuff going on in his life affecting things”? It seems to happen every year. At what point does he get labeled a weak-minded person for not being able to handle the stuff (mostly self inflicted) that goes on in his life. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Deep Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 He has lacked energy, swagger, and ability to make things happen this year. He is a shell of the person who once became one of my favorite players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Pasqua Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I wish TA was raking, playing great defense and leading with his smile and charisma. And I hope it happens with this year's team. I will actually be bummed if it doesn't turn out this way. I wish I could be his bro and get his head back on track. He has been a very good Sox SS in my years as fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever he has in his inner circle is letting him down and he's costing himself quite a bit of money with his play. There's a bunch of guys on this team I used to like that now I'm really just indifferent towards. TA, Moncada, Vaughn, Eloy, the list goes on.

pcq Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Tim has felt like a loner and Dabo and Pops can't fix it. The Dodgers have Mookie Betts to welcome him. He is not welcome here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4uckOffCommieScum Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 His problem seems to be a spiritual one. He doesn’t seem like the same person in spirit as he did a couple years ago. Having a friend murdered could have flipped him into a dark place. Never can tell what a person might really be going through mentally. Hopefully he gets himself back on track 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They deserve this years atmosphere. Whether or not they 'deserve' it, I don't know why somebody would take the time to show up to a game just to belittle the players. Seems like a waste of time, money and energy. I told some guy to knock it off because he's shouting profanity at Cease in the first inning and there's kids around and Cease can obviously hear him because we're right above the dugout. Completely uncalled for and I would think has an impact on the game. I think fans can play a role in their teams' success, a homefield advantage isn't strictly 'these guys are familiar with the field and can sleep in their own beds' there's energy to be absorbed from the atmosphere. Obviously you and me are not the reason the Sox suck but it's also not the players as individuals, its the summation of decisions made by the front office and ownership. We obviously expect more out of 'proven' players like Tim Anderson or Lynn but good teams can deal with down years to one or two players. Of course, pretty much everyone is having a down year which leads me to think it's something to do with coaching or otherwise how the organization is run. I don't think showing up just to trash the players is productive. Bring a 'sell the team' sign or 'fire hahn' sign IMO.
