Tim Anderson received the Sonic rings knocked out of him

It’s been seven years because the final true MLB combat between two gamers the place a punch truly linked, however in the end, we now have an actual MLB combat.

Chicago White Sox SS Tim Anderson and Cleveland Guardians 3B Jose Ramirez received right into a little bit of a fracas throughout their recreation on Saturday. The ensuing donnybrook ended with Ramirez getting the win and Anderson presumably turning into the funniest meme of the MLB season. Let’s break it down, main body by main body. Right here’s the total video of the play and the ensuing brouhaha.

Okay so right here’s the primary body. Ramirez is sliding into second base and Anderson goes to tag him. It seems to be like Ramirez took offense to how Anderson tried to tag him out as a result of he received up and instantly began jawing at Anderson.

At this level, Anderson escalates the exercise. This might’ve all been prevented however no, Anderson needed to take initiative. I do not know what was stated, however clearly Anderson didn’t prefer it as a result of he instantly drops the gloves and places his dukes up.

That is once we ought to’ve recognized that Anderson both A) can not combat or B) didn’t truly need to combat. No one places their dukes up like that anymore until you’re appearing like you may combat and you’ll’t otherwise you simply actually don’t need these issues. I’m guessing it’s the primary alternative.

Objectively, that is the funniest photograph of the MLB season. Anderson has his fingers up like Pops from Friday, and Ramirez has his left hand low and proper hand near the chin. The umpire received outta dodge instantly, so shits about to go DOWN.

That is the primary important breaking level of the combat. Anderson misses the punch wildly ( his season numbers, not a shock he swung and missed), after which his teammates go to restrain him. It is a drawback for Anderson as a result of now Ramirez can swing wildly and Anderson actually can’t.

Which naturally results in this:

Adopted by this:

Look man, you may’t begin the combat, take the gloves off and go all 1920’s boxer solely to get put in your butt by a wild swing. Anderson will need to have a glass jaw or Ramirez has fingers of stone {that a} random swing can knock him down so simply.

Twitter naturally roasted Anderson for getting his jaw rocked, and it was hilarious:

This actually could be the funniest factor that’s occurred this yr within the MLB. Anderson squaring up solely to get the Sonic rings knocked out of him mere seconds later is simply hilarious, and one other notch within the Chicago White Sox’s season from hell.
