So I was telling him to stop doing that. After he tapped me really hard, more than needed, he said he wanted to fight and I had to defend myself.” Anderson was not available for comment afterward. Francona wasn’t exactly sure what prompted the Anderson-Ramírez bout, but said that before the brawl, Anderson had been told by one of the umpires to stop jawing at Guardians rookie Gabriel Arias. On Friday night, Anderson pushed Guardians rookie Brayan Rocchio off the bag at second following a slide, leading to a call that was controversially reversed by the umpires. https://www.kold.com/2023/08/06/anderson-ramrez-facing-suspensions-after-fight-6-ejections-wild-white-sox-guardians-brawl/ Edited August 6, 20232 yr by caulfield12

August 6, 20232 yr Whatever the reason, Anderson embarrassed himself by starting the fight then being knocked on his ass. I felt like his reaction after the scuffle was only because his pride (and face) took a hit Edited August 6, 20232 yr by Flash Tizzle

August 6, 20232 yr TAss has turned into a walking punchline in less than a year. Started with the baby momma.
August 6, 20232 yr We will all chuckle at this someday when Ramírez is in a Sox uni at the end of his career like the Alomars, Albert Belle, Visquel, Thome & Manny.

Yeah I think Tim wasn't looking for a fight before the play started but once Ramirez stuck his finger in his face it would have been incredible if there wasn't some sort of fight. IMO, if you want to punch the guy in that situation, don't be honorable and say let's fight like TA did. Just punch! Wouldn't even be a sucker punch as far as I'm concerned because Ramirez's actions were clearly begging for a reaction like that. A better and more typical reaction would be to just shove the guy because he's both invading your space and clearly saying fighting words. It's hard to imagine a way it could have resolved **once Ramirez got up and confronted him like that** without them getting at least lightly physical and the benches clearing.

Except Ramirez has never been thrown out of a game in his life. Never argued with an umpire. Best work ethic on team. Almost a pristine reputation in that clubhouse and Francona even called him "revered."
August 6, 20232 yr Author Just now, Buehrle>Wood said: Imagine complaining about tagging too hard as you slide 4 feet past the base. No that goes back to Rocchio tag where his arm/wrist was pushed off bag and somehow NY validated it was a legal tag.

August 6, 20232 yr Sure Anderson doesn't feel good getting punched yesterday, but this pathetic piece of s%*# was the manager who lost to the Chicago Cubs in the World Series, the most embarrassing event ever in sports. Breakfast with the Beatles and Tito is eating crow.

I'm just repeating what was given as one of the reasons provided for the confrontation....that and the 1B umpire giving a warning to Anderson to lay off rookie infielder Arias.

Last night, the only thing Anderson did wrong was he not landing a clean one on Ramirez. Ramirez was the asshole in the incident and instigator. He slides in hard to every base (which is 100% fine and I applaud his way of playing the game), then he's going to complain about getting "tagged hard" ? What kind of b**** ass move is that? And if you look at the replay, Anderson didn't even tag him hard. Then it was Ramirez who instigated by shoving Anderson's leg out of the way as Anderson stood over him after the tag. 100% I'd have beef with that if I'm Tim Anderson.

August 6, 20232 yr As far as I’m concerned the only thing TA did wrong was drop his hands. You have to keep your hands up and protect your chin, might get embarrassed if you don’t. Any player who isn’t afraid to fight on the field should be required to take some boxing classes, team mandate.
