@@thecaveman3503 THANK YOU !!! I Keep saying that and people keep looking at me like i'm the one crossing the line and i shouldn't say this or that. HE SAID IT !!!!
You can spout all the numbers you want, but the truth is dude got knocked out on national TV then played over and over again in clips. He became a meme. He couldn't take it; his confidence is ahot. Remember it's not how times you get knocked down, but how you get back up. He never got back up. J-Ram knocked the baseball right outta him.
Tim Anderson was always a "Me" player, putting himself above the team. His tantrums and his selfish ways were bad enough, and then he attempted to smear the name of an all time great in Jackie Robinson. By comparing himself to Robinson, Anderson showed just how self absorbed and disconnected her truly was. He was a solid player, never great. And now he's getting cut by a last place team, which makes you wonder who he'll blame for this since nothing is ever his fault.
@@Guest12549 I don't condone Racism. What happened between him & Donaldson wasn't racism, & Anderson decided to cry about it after the Yankees & White Sox got into a fight.
Anderson behaved in a narcissistic and vindictive manner. I greatly, greatly dislike Josh Donaldson, but Anderson acted in exceedingly poor faith and tried to get Donaldson out of the league because he wouldn’t kowtow to TA’s ego. Anderson deserved his downfall and he’s just an incredibly unlikable individual.
He was stupid for impregnating that woman , she already had 2 other kids lol . Committing adultery is one of the worst things you can do & the Bible is clear on that
@@b-rad3681Tim made himself look even worse because he was always preaching and portraying himself as a black man who is a proud family man, responsible dad, and loyal husband. Then he goes and commits infidelity and gets the side chick pregnant and then has the nerve to climb back in bed with his wife who is also pregnant again. He also started an anti violence youth group after his friend was murdered.. but then Tim committed violence on a professional baseball field of all places and gets himself knocked out in one of the craziest knockouts in baseball history.
@@eldiablo3794 exactly!!! The consequences of all of his wrongdoings are justified & nobody should feel sorry for him at all , he’d better seek forgiveness and get on the road to redemption but it’s not shocking his play has fallen off the face of the earth with all of his issues off the diamond
Learn the bible and what's the ACTUAL definition of adultery. A man can have as many women and wives that he can take care of now , this is a weatern civilization and that's confusing to begin with because it's an atheist society that masquerades as a Christian nation as well as one that's open and friendly to every religion and faith , which again is a contradiction in itself when you have to hurdle over secularism , racism , homosexuality , the promotion of feminism and slore culture. Adultery is when a man sleeps with another man's wife , simple and plain , so that means if a married woman sleeps with any man. You people cut off your own birthright by adding such foolish stipulations into your life. Now , if the woman that you're considering has a problem with that , then that's for discussion , but you people that misinterpret the Bible are just a stumbling black for sure and you're extremely uninformed.
@@Guest12549 as they say , God works in mysterious ways . Could be some truth to that in his situation , I just can’t imagine a man cheating on his wife and impregnating the other woman and his life continues on as if nothing happened with no consequences that’s all I’m saying but TA has fallen off the face of the earth in his profession and I don’t think anybody expected that
if you look at all of his groundball outs, they're mostly cutters/sinkers. he is failing to recognize or anticipate the late cut/break and swinging too early this is a guy who was hardly coachable which explains why he never made an adjustment
Jose Ramirez 100% ended his career, he took his soul. It's not a physical issue, but a mental issue. It's similar to showboat boxers who like to disrespect their opponents, like Prince Hamed, Broner, Roy Jones, ,etc. All these boxers have something in common, once they lose for the first time their careers just fall a cliff very fast. Deeply insecure and very fragile egos. Their whole persona is that showboat character and they have nothing to call back on once they lose. Cant get over the embarrassment.
His career ended before that. When he cheated on his wife and his side chick posted their baby pictures on instagram. His wife and side chick beefing on social media. All that drama messed with his head.
As a Sox fan, that had nothing to do with his downfall. Jose was boutta get his ass beat if he didn’t get that lucky hit. TA cheated on his wife and had a baby with the mistress and had an overinflated ego
He was a gifted athlete, not a baseball player. Baseball is the hardest sport to play, he took up baseball as a senior in high school, was a great basketball player. His defense on routine plays was horrendous, he could make the phenomenal plays because of his athleticism. Watching tapes of him in the Chisox clubhouse, looked like a complete jerk. Thought he knew it all, but knew nothing. You don’t learn the game of baseball overnight!
So basically those lucky hits he would constantly get, were no longer finding holes, and his confidence started to dip and from there it just snowballs to a point that you start questioning your own ability. Once that happens it’s over with.
Tim Anderson was NEVER a good fielder. He was always a liability at shortstop. I like the concept on the video, I think a lot of us are wondering what happened. But do your homework man, poor fielder and he was always on the field for his bat. Even rookie and soph year, white Sox had him in because they knew his hitting potential. Liability at short-good athlete and could make the great play. Lacked fundamentals
He was in the top 10 percent in OAA amongst shortstops 2 of his first 3 years. He accumulated nearly 6 WAR through his first 3 seasons despite being a below average hitter. Statistically, he was a defense first shortstop his first 3 years.
I'm looking at Baseball Savant right now. I think you nailed it. He's just not making good enough contact. He's not barreling anything and he's not hitting the sweet spot of the bat. He exceeded the expected batting averages because of his sprint speed, but that's declined tremendously so he's no longer turning those nubbers into hits. I think there must be something wrong with his swing mechanics. He's still in his prime. Seeing a guy drop off in his prime is pretty rare. It does happen, but we usually expect to see this kind of drop off after a guy turns 35, not 31.
Not even sprint speed, just simply luck. A lot of those batted balls in those 4 years just had eyes. A bloop here, a seeing-eye ground ball single there, they add up. If it were speed, then he would still have a respectable average today, he didn’t get any slower. That .335 batting title was luck, plain and simple
@@jc3productions362 I agree that luck plays a part, but his BABIP was pretty similar for 3 seasons in a row suggesting he was just really good putting the ball where he wanted.
I guess he let his hype, swell his head, I mean at the end of the day you might be the best player in baseball with all the accolade yes and all, and capture the crowds, but don’t forget at the end of the day you’re still playing a kids game. AS ALWAYS IN ALL OF LIFES JOURNEY, HAVE SOME FUCKING HUMILITY, AND NEVER BUY INTO THE HYPE.
He was absolutely crushing it in the first half of 2022, and then he started a nosedive. I remember when the Twins played the White Sox around July 2022, when they swept us, he had like a 150 OPS+, and he's just been awful ever since. What the hell happened? Did he get hurt? Is it mental? He has no power. Used to be able to hit 10-15 HRs, now he has less power than Luis Arraez. Crazy how much he's fallen off in such a short period of time.
As a white sox fan he got a knee injury in 2022 and wasn't the same after. He was never a good defender so didn't fall off in that category. People just say he fell off because they don't like him as a person
@@Wilytics Like at some point it’s deeper than “he was a dick” because there have been plenty of players who were complete assholes who are well respected and looked back upon fondly.
Good lord, all these channels are just stat vomit. You didnt really say or teach anything. All you did is post stats that drop from one year to the next. If anything it proves that all these useless stats arent necessary. Were you watching Tim struggle? What actual insight did you provide here? You didnt really display any baseball related knowledge of decline other than google searches that a novice fan can find to reach your same conclusions.
I thought the change in scenery would do him some good. There were quite a few instances in that 2023 season where you could just read "I hate this place" on his lips when they showed him in game. Figured maybe the change in scenery would do him some good. I guess that wasn't the problem. Dude is washed. The team should have traded him for basically nothing instead of trading away Burger and letting TA walk.
As a Sox fan, this was just another harbinger of doom for a team in total collapse since 2021. Now they are on pace to lose 116 games and the fans are screaming for the team to be sold to anyone willing to put a major league caliber product on the field.
As a Marlins fan Tim Anderson was a huge reason for how disappointing this season has been. I knew last season was a fever dream, but I really had high hopes with Anderson. I know our bullpen is also to blame but I still can’t believe how bad it’s gone.
That jackie thing was rediculous, they made it a racial thing when HE was the one who compared himself to jackie as a cocky rookie who was batflipping in games when they were down
Dude lead the entire MLB in errors 3 seasons in a row. Im a lifelong sox fan and actually liked him from his rookie year up until he signed his 6 year deal. Then he totally changed and became arrogant. He was always MID and average player imo. Never a superstar like he and everyone tried to hype him up to be in Chicago. Tim made himself look even worse because he always preached and portrayed himself as a black man who is a proud family man, responsible dad, and loyal husband. Then he goes and commits infidelity and gets the side chick pregnant. He also started an anti violence youth group after his friend was murdered.. but then Tim committed violence on a professional baseball field of all places and gets himself knocked out in one of the craziest knockouts in baseball history.
I will still never understand why people were so hyped on him. He was always average and he got gifted that batting title. His ego is why he’s a failure because I’m sure he still won’t be coachable or change anything because he’s TA7 damn it! Lmao 😂 also keep making your videos! You do an awesome job!
I’ve never been happy about a players decline but there’s not a more deserving person than crybaby Anderson lmao. He constantly ran his mouth and played victim but his best years were more luck than skill 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
I think it’s all mental. I did a deep look into his career. He never struggled in HS, college or minor leagues. Once he had one bad cold streak he just couldn’t get out of it mentally
as a sox fan, i can say he was a huge reason for the success in 2020 and 2021, he was also a huge reason for the destruction of the club house and the failure of the 2018 rebuild.
saying he was ever a defense first shortstop is literally hilarious. dude has a career -30 DRS (including a laughable -23 in 2017 which was his first full season) and an abysmal -34.1 UZR. The dude has almost always been a complete liability in the field. In his best years he was just "not a terrible shortstop" lol. Here's his average ranking in DRS among all shortstops during his career compared against all qualifying shortstops: 20/20 (2017), 4/22 (2018), 17/21 (2019), 9/21 (2020 - shortened season), 11/21 (2021), 22/23 (2022), 20/20 (2023) and he's middle of the pack again this year so far. I've always thought UZR was a little more accurate than DRS so here are his UZR numbers: 20/20 (2017), 13/22 (2018), 21/21 (2019), 18/20 (2020 - shortened season), 18/21 (2021), 20/22 (2022), 18/20 (2023), and he's 21st so far this year. I've seen a TON of whitesox games during his career and having him at shortstop has ALWAYS bothered me. I personally cannot believe they never moved him somewhere else. If he was hitting .320 with 30 hrs every year it would be alright but even during his best years he wasn't hitting for enough power to warrant the insane liability he was in the field. He has been good with the bat in his career but has always been an awful fielder IMO.
He ranked in the top 10 percent of shortstops in outs above average in 2016 and 2018, yes 2017 he was bad in the field (bottom 10 percent in OAA). He managed to average around 2 WAR through his first 3 seasons despite being a below average hitter.
As a Cleveland fan , Do not blame Jose Ramirez . Jose is a very humble guy and refuses questions about that day . He respects Tim Anderson . More than anyone else does .
