On May 22, 2022 TA was sporting a slash line of .359/.400/.517. Then the story about TA saying Josh Donaldson’s calls him Jackie went national and he hit .246/.283/.286 the rest of the way, with 1 HR and 6 RBI. Then followed with the disastrous last two years. Bizarre

I think it has more to do with him getting injured via a punch to the knee 7 days later and the White Sox being a disaster when it comes to rehabbing injuries than it has to do with Josh Donaldson.

Like seriously, you can blame off field antics all you want, but how does a leg injury for w dude that relied on his legs get constantly glossed over?

It's probably a combo, but it'd be like "Albert Belle's career was derailed due to him being a crazy son of a b****" and ignoring the degenerative hip.

The legs obviously hurt him the last couple of years, but he did have one AB earlier this season where is sprint speed to first was like off the charts. I watched a clip of it and the announcer said TA can still really fly when he wants to. I remember thinking, if his legs feel good, he should be OK. I think he has some back issues now as well.

Maybe he wants the babies

Maybe if he wants to lose his MLB earnings to multiple baby mommas for the next 18 years per kid.  Not a wise strategy.  And if his actual wife decides to divorce him cuz he keeps cheating, that could be up to 50% of his earnings, unless they have some sort of open marriage.

An empty headed scumbag b****, who the team propped up and gave every opportunity to be the face of the franchise. Lynn, Keuchel, Grandal, etc. were never the heels, They called his s%*# out in private because they saw what he was. Team bent over backwards to protect him for years. He's avoided a lot of blame for being a gigantic part of where things went wrong with the team.

Tell us how you really feel

I wonder what his numbers are after the side piece announced she was pregnant with his kid compared to the Donaldson Jackie comment.

 

Still crazy his downfall.

That's fine when you're a 3-5 WAR player. Not so much when you're an utter scrub.

Wow, how quickly this happened, sooo quickly. 

Am I correct, wasn't it two years ago he was the starting short stop for the AL all-star game? Or three years ago?

Can we please, please, please follow this lead and DFA Maldanado?  I did say please. Why are we keeping him?

Fingers brother...... The right fingers...

Who would have thought that TA7 would turn into Nick Madrigal so quickly.

Tim Anderson was an all star less than 2 years ago. I've never seen a baseball player fall on his face so hard and so fast in his professional and personal life without getting suspended for PEDs or commit a crime. 

lmaoooooooo

Wow.  Tim must not listen to The Score and hear how easy the Vasectomy operations are these days, with no scalpel and no pain!

I am guessing once Tim can’t find another contract for a few million is when Bria sends him the divorce papers and takes half of everything.

No idea they could trace babies without a license plate. Again people really riding Tim for common indiscretions among pro athletes. Not since Shawn Kemp have we heard this kind of thing in the media. Judge not.

Yeah, the idea this has been all in his head, but nothing to do with his injuries to his most important tool (his legs) is laughable.

Good luck with enough at-bats to qualify for the records.

(I should have put that qualifier in there)

Especially when you have no pull out game like Timmay.

Always the former Royals.

Took him out in a collision he never recovered from...his own defensively-challenged 3b.  So much of the TA downfall self-induced.

Then there's Grifol.

Only procreated three run bombs.

They've gone the way of Bomb Pops at DQ with this franchise.

It went through the media, once, way back when, that Derek Jeter went to great lengths to keep women...not resentful and talking. Gift baskets, and all. That probably also included some form of birth control. 

I mean, Jeter was a single superstar in New York enjoying life.  TA has now TWICE had baby mama drama on social media in 3 years
