Tim Anderson obtained the Sonic rings knocked out of him

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

Chicago White Sox 2B Tim Anderson and Cleveland Guardians 3B Jose Ramirez obtained 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 changing into the funniest meme of the MLB season. Let’s break it down, main body by main body. Right here’s the complete 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 obtained up and instantly began jawing at Anderson.

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

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

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

That is the primary vital breaking level of the battle. Anderson misses the punch wildly ( his season numbers, not a shock he swung and missed), after which his teammates go to restrain him. This can be a downside 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 battle, 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 palms 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 may 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.
