Robert Junior and Zavala are the two very good / excellent defenders on the entire team. Everyone else is far below average across MLB, with Grandal, Vaughn. Burger, Anderson and Eloy in the bottom ten, and Andrus (2B), Shields and Colas just outside the bottom ten solely because they didn't play enough games.

White Sox Positional Defense Runs Saved (all players):

• Catcher (87 Total Players): Zavala (7th); Grandal (81st).
• First Base (70): Vaughn (63rd).
• Second Base (87): Gonzalez (70th); Andrus (73rd); Sosa (81st).
• Third Base (82): Moncada (39th); Burger (76th).
• Shortstop (69): Andrus (54th); Anderson (67th).
• Left Field (91): Benintendi (80th).
• Center Field (79): Robert (5th).
• Right Field (87): Colas (68th); Sheets (76th); Eloy (78th).

Note: Eloy is grouped with DH because that is his primary position this year. His rank reflects where he would appear if listed as RF, his lone 2023 defensive position.

The level of delusion of this man is straight up clinical

He wants unconditional love. And there are those people out there that fall in love with players and don’t care to look critically. But again, most fans love  the laundry, the names come and go. Tim Anderson misunderstands sports fans.

Men don’t have enough blood to go to two different heads 

There is absolutely no way that TA's off field issues aren't the main reason for his on field performance. Those of you who are married know exactly what I am talking about. I am kinda shocked his wife hasn't filed for divorce yet but she is probably been told to wait until after he is traded and signs a new contract. 

He is the typical Narcissist in that he doesn't put the entire blame on himself for his insanely bad choices.

We are supposed to be committed to him more than he is committed to his wife. Sorry TA, being a fan of a player isn't unconditional love. He hasn't got any of the blowback Tiger Wopds got for cheating on his wife, and Tiger didn't get anyone else pregnant.

Don’t encourage Tim to start looking into busty Perkins’ waitresses.

Outplay Zach Remillard then pop off.

He’s pretty much leading the team in OPS, so that might take awhile…

It's June 30 and Nick Madrigal has more home runs than Tim Anderson....for those keeping track. 

We’re not misunderstanding that .529 OPS that’s for sure

You're right TA wants unconditional love. However unconditional love only is afforded our kids, spouses and dogs who give us back unconditional love. I'm sorry though, it's not for players who are having their worst season ever and doing it with a delusional and negative attitude

Has Tim’s approach looked any better the past two games or have they been lucky/cheap hits?

He faced two left handers. Will hopefully have consistent success against RHP and return to being Tim again for the second half.

Well Oakland started one guy with a 7.79 ERA and another who is a career 5 ERA guy.

I mean, sure, but that hasn’t stopped him previously from looking like a fool at the plate. Was genuinely wondering if his approach looked any better.

 

For those who can't read the fine print it says "not too many, f*#k the rest of em." Just curious if anyone is still defending this clown.

I know there was one administrator here that attacked a lot of people when they failed to admire Anderson.  He’s been silent for a while.

He is like a 14 year old girl.

The continued obsession of Tim Anderson’s innocuous communications by Bridgeport’s Twelve Angry Men mirrors internet gossip of children and teens.

Cues Taylor Swift song.

Dear god why are we actively looking for more things to be mad about? He’s always had this type of social media presence, even when he was winning batting titles.

Who said anyone was actively looking? This was all over social media yesterday. And yeah when the "face of the franchise" is telling people/fans who are upset he's turned into a garbage player to f off, I think it's worth noting. When you thrust yourself into the public eye people will take notice.

I miss the days when we had the leadership of Paul Konerko, Thome, Dye, etc. Even when Anderson was going good I could tell he wasn't a leader. He needs someone to keep him in check, sadly he's never had that person on this team. His head is too big and he doesn't know how to handle criticism. Not a good combination for someone who is allegedly the "face of the franchise" at the moment.

it works pretty well if you sing the first part as the whiney voice in taking back sunday and the second part as the screamo voice in taking back sunday.
