Fight Night in Cleveland! An action-packed Saturday of combat sports had given the Guardians and White Sox players fight night fever in their veins, so much to the point they couldn't hold themselves back from joining in on the physical activity. We experienced 35 thousand, beautiful, baseball enjoyin' humans join in on a chorus of Ole Ole while two ball players dropped their "gloves" and got to the fistacups.
Before I breakdown the brawl, I have to address one thing. Not address, but rather give a toast of true respect and gratitude. Towards the ump that allowed those boys to let 'em throw. Malachi Moore, here is to you good sir. What a true professional. Lets get to the action, shall we. We can call it the hook of the ages. White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson and Guardians' third baseman Jose Ramirez got the brawl started with a showdown you don't usually see in baseball.
Tim Anderson literally dropped his glove like it was hockey, and begged Ramirez to settle things like men. The ump even lined 'em up just as a hockey official would, giving the ok to get the party started. Anderson squared up and well the rest is history:
Down goes Frazier. Down goes Frazier. Down goes Frazier! What a right hook by Ramirez, completely flooring Anderson. TA7 was all confident too, moving forward like he trains with Floyd everyday- just to lean right into a flush hook. I'm sure you know the viral slogan: f*** around and find out? That's exactly what TA7 did. Tim enticed it, and he found out. Dominican power, baby.
You don't see that in baseball, often. Rarely do we see a flush punch, mind you. Yet alone having them go toe and toe before a crowd of players tackle them. We saw both doses in this situation. The last flush punch was Rougned Odor's boomer on Jose Bautista, although Jose didn't hit the dirt like Anderson. The punch literally folds him. Sorry, Tim... really not trying to rub it in, man. You already gotta live with being on the poor end of one of the more viral moments in baseball history. Then again, you did ask for it. J-Ram just finished it.
The activity seemed to have only been between Ramirez and Anderson at first, until all of a sudden things got hot again. The physical drive wasn't led by a Ramirez hook, rather this time the coaches were the ones who wanted to get ACTIVE:
We got managers losin' their wits; haymakers flyin' wild; and knockdowns in the infield. I was confident that this brawl was going to bring more entertainment than Diaz versus Paul that took place later that night. It was pure entertainment. The entertainment was for us baseball fans, not for TA7. Matters got even worse in a sense for Anderson, as Guardians' Manager Terry Francona went on to mention Anderson only yappin' his lips when he was being held back:
First the hook, then Anderson gets strays for running his mouth AFTER eating the hook. Now it's bad for him, at this point. Ego hurtin' bad. Instead of being smart by just going to bed, Anderson decided to get his phone out and tweet. Going on a rant about how people are switching sides and kicking him while he was down. Ouch man, just ouch. Take the damage as it is and stop making it worse for yourself, brotha. 'Cause it's not looking to good right at this moment. The Commissioner's office wasn't on team Anderson either:
Poor TA7. He gets knocked down with a Dominican powered hook; makes a fool on social media; and gets slapped with a 6 game suspension. Stinger. Don't think I am fully on the Anderson degrade train, here. Jose saying he got mad due to it being a hard tag, cmon dude. A hard tag? Yeah, right. On the plain and simple- fellow big leaguers, evaluate Anderson's decision to square up- we are definitely all for your bravery, just make sure you won't end like this:
We had Coco Crisp hit James Shields with that Floyd Mayweather speed on defense. Odor's earthquake punch. Oh, and of course Michael Barrett and Scott Podsednik goin' full on WWE on home plate. Add J-Ram's gorgeous right hook to the montage of beautiful memories of violence (relatively safe) on the diamond. I'm still in awe and complete adore of the ump... lets just allow hockey fighting in big league baseball. Why not! Check out the full brawl below:
