Tim Anderson on José Ramírez Fight, Comeback with Angels

[@ericdiesel33]

“Down goes Anderson, Down goes Anderson” Cleveland broadcaster Tom Hamilton nailed that call during Jose’s knockout punch.

[@AFamYaHeard]

This was a tough watch. But great interview nonetheless.

[@chaineddeath5513]

You can tell Tim hasn’t changed. If he wants to win the hearts of the baseball world back, he needs to grow up and mature

[@seanisty]

All he said the whole time was he is open and he has been working on his mental health and he has nothing to lose and is willing to work hard and keep his head down. If anything AJ during the interview was bringing up the weird shit.

[@richcruz17]

@@seanistyAJ was digging up the dirt

[@akdfghadflkgnkj]

It’s too early to tell. Him saying he stepped away from the game and didn’t even watch, just wanting to be hungry and earn a spot. He’s saying things that could show he’s changed, but does a tiger ever really change their stripes?

[@chaineddeath5513]

@@seanisty there’s no sugar-coating it; Tim Anderson has been the worst player in baseball for the last two years. Tim should have anticipated these questions. If anything, AJ was being nice trying to put a positive spins on these questions and trying to hype up TA7. Tim could have acknowledged his past failures and explained how he is going to get better, but instead he got angry when the obvious was pointed out - that Tim hasn’t been the same player he once was. It can be hard to hear that you aren’t performing well anymore, but you have to expect that from the media. It’s a part of being a professional ballplayer.

[@rturner8384]

I'm really rooting for TA. I hope he makes the team!

[@babagaming7867]

Same, man. So many fucking loser ass haters on here, man.

[@YoJoeAF]

Say what you want about him. He lost his way, but I'm still rooting for him. He was one of my favorite players on those White Sox teams.I wish him well. Everybody deserves a redemption story.

[@ciello___8307]

Tim is a player who’s game relied on being super athletic. Once injuries and age took that away it wasnt gonna be good

[@jlopez1017d]

TA is so thick headed man and that’s his problem. They’re trying to give him his flowers and he feels attacked. Being “coachable” means listening before acting. I’ll be surprised if he makes the opening day roster

[@JernEye]

TA and Rendon in that left infield will be entertainment. Sorry, Angels, now you got 2.

[@Minattz12]

Liked him as a player, but man, seems like a jerk and can't be relatable.

[@jonnyt16]

Man I was really hoping this interview would change my opinion of Tim Anderson. Nope.

[@joem6682]

Loved TA but how he handled Pierzynskis questions.... Dudes a clown now

[@bv6377]

It's better than a "next question" which is what I'm used to. Glad FT actually asks about stuff

[@seanisty]

Not Everybody is comfortable with “passive aggressiveness”

[@slumpbustersports]

I think we know how this is going to play out. I say that with no malice.

[@seanisty]

We’ll all have to see.

[@josecruz77]

Yup it’s going to get crazy in that locker room I feel bad energy already after that Mike trout question

[@pablofuentes2850]

Yeah, I couldn’t finish this interview

[@randy_Savage82]

The angels will release him by mid may

[@scottw5879]

When he mentioned he wants to be "coachable"..... that was hilarious. He doesn't even want to answer tough questions. Tim Anderson will do what Tim Anderson wants to do.

[@littleamy20]

Should be interesting for him to run into Ron Washington

[@seanisty]

Is a Tough question him talking about getting punched in the face and “embracing it”? Honest question we should be talking about Baseball.

[@tdwpkills1]

This gives a glimpse into that clubhouse. Deflecting the hard questions, super defensive.

[@rockyhamilton1023]

Clubhouse cancer this guy.. Watching this dude get rocked was one of my favorite moments of the entire ‘23 season.

[@seanisty]

Odd

[@rockyhamilton1023]

@ He’s very lucky to have you though.

[@germanibarra91]

Was just listening this episode on the radio and wanted to see if people agreed with what I thought about TA. Dudes a clown and deserved to be rocked! Dude is so unlikable!!!

[@randy_Savage82]

Damn He got defensive when AJ asking legit questions then getting testy with kratz … not a good look for a guy trying to make a squad

[@aronscott9698]

He’s a washed up punk who can’t handle criticism or questions regarding his past behavior

[@seanisty]

He could have chose to never come on I can only assume he didn’t plan on having those questions be asked this is the reverse of what happened to Barry Bonds you either talk to much or not enough.

[@NGKC3]

Tim Anderson will behave differently because he's fighting for his job. He can't behave the same way he did before unless he get's a contract.

[@seanisty]

If you look at his sign in the back it says Genuine I think it’s hard for somebody to be work on being Genuine and fit a norm I believe Ron Washington will help with that but I think those are two hard things to do. IMO

[@Jonashall1]

I thought Jackie passed away in 1972 but here he is. This is incredible!

[@brotherwiththebeard]

Corny.

[@babagaming7867]

Loser ass comment

[@jb2o09]

@Jonashall1 you’re lame as hell

[@Thatguymeng]

Guy can’t stop cussing after being told, can tell being told to stop, he got slightly irritated. Called himself Jackie, then gets mad when being called it. Always crying. Not a lot of people will be rooting for him besides White Sox fans.

[@loubow942]

Donaldson was trying to be a dick though by calling him Jackie. You can see how that might bug him at that moment.

[@jeffgo5742]

We White Sox fans don’t root for him no more

[@Gamepadder]

@@jeffgo5742 Agreed. We value hard working players who never give up like Konerko, Abreu, and Yermin Mercedes.

[@jonnyt16]

Uhh, I doubt White Sox fans are still rooting for this guy lol.

[@babagaming7867]

White sox fans don't have a team to root for

[@rayacosta8339]

Going on any form of interview and not expecting J Ram questions is out of this world. Was still an awesome player to watch for about 4 seasons though.

[@nickdonalds982]

ehhh this was weird, felt like one giant attack towards TA.

[@Catch202]

I thought they handled a tough interview as well as they could. They were respectful and related to his struggles in a positive fashion. I wish him well .... not the first person to have the world at his feet then have everyone jump on the bandwagon when things go bad. Took guts to accept the interview ... plenty of people in his position would have declined.

[@seanisty]

@@Catch202I agree for the most part but they didn’t have to ask “those” questions they coulda ask where have you been how has it been more and got more specific about how going through so much in a short time can derail a career and how he’s working to get it back. They made their choice for the clips.

[@MatthewJohnson-fs7pl]

Antonio Brown of baseball

[@jb2o09]

That’s disrespectful to AB, he is way more accomplished and talented

[@Shadowghost2003]

These comments are rlly pathetic. Only reason most of yall hating on bro is bcuz of his skin color. He just wants to be himself and leave the past in the past. He may not know how to answer sum questions but u can tell he tried his best to. He isn’t in the “sports” mentality bcuz it wasn’t even his interest at first and I can understand that so he doesn’t know how to handle this much spotlight and I mean even he said “hopping on here was a reach” yall need to stop hating and read in between the lines

[@oscarcastro6203]

Man his attitude isn't great but I guess we'll see

[@Zaron_Gaming]

Ugh this is a fucky interview. He still isn't super mature and facing down what he did. He will continue to evolve as a man i think and will be more comfortable to talk about everything rather than getting upset at the stuff he did wrong.

[@robertkolkebeck7813]

TA7!!! The last MLB game I attended was the bat flip game. All the best for TA & the Angels in 2025. Run like hell on dropped third strikes even when they bounce before the catching or aren’t even dropped!!

[@70below]

TA, love ya man. You were one of the funnest parts of watching the White Sox. Really want to see you get that swagger back. Go out and show everyone you're still the best. Prayin for ya buddy!

[@tamer288]

People said this interview was rough. But the last 5-10min were actually pretty great. TA opened up when talking about what he needs to do going forward. He just didn’t want to talk about the downfall of the Sox or getting knocked out on the field.

[@Stylesterling]

Always rooted for 7 and still root for TA. Some people are too comfortable kicking people when they’re down.

[@jlopez1017d]

How are the kicking him? They’re asking him legit questions. They’re asking about his comeback process

[@Madskillsuniversity]

Man, this young man had so much potential, and I rooted for him for years, but his attitude, arrogance and immaturity ruined his career. However, I am wishing him and the Angels the best in 2025.

[@tefs17]

Love tim I wish nothing but the best

[@hopehealsinternationalmini4291]

He will hurt the Angels. Not happy about the Angels signing this guy.

[@nunzi83]

This is why ppl celebrated him being punched/knocked out more than any other player that was punched in the past.

[@emmanuelabreu7900]

He got knocked out and lost his confidence and approach at the plate

[@HNDRX21]

I also hoped the questions would center more around the here & now. Enough talk about his past, about “the fight” or other general negative-driven questions. He’s clearly trying his best to be professional and isn’t comfortable revisiting other topics just for clicks/views. Orange County will welcome him, that I say with confidence!

[@Nammm37]

Before I watched through the entire video, I dug through the video comments & agreed with a lot of the people saying that TA will bounce back. Afterrrer watching the interview, he is so sensitive to criticism! How can coaches work with him?? He's still only 31 years old but his raw talent has slipped under him now & I still hope he finds success. But dang, AJ was great on this interview because beat reporters will be more ruthless to TA.

[@adrianacev7579]

Not feeling good guy at all , yikes

[@mikeanderson8596]

Wow my team was rumored to sign this guy, I’m super glad we didn’t. He needs help. I feel bad for him, something or many things has happened to Tim and I hope he figures it out. He is super talented and I hope he can get comfortable. Reminds me of Milton Bradley.

[@luckypozzo3068]

Still love for TA7 on the Southside. Was he perfect? No. Did he deserve better? Absolutely. He and Abreu just fell off the map after leaving, and so have the Sox. Something was rotten in that clubhouse, and he has been scapegoated thanks to dog whistlers and the like.

[@Jalpaaaaaaaa]

Man yall act like his fall off was as bad as Javier Baez. Timmy just needs positivity and a fresh slate and he's a SOLID infielder in the MLB.

[@Matt-oj8fy]

Betting on this guy is an insane mistake, not even counting his lack of production

[@jeremiahbrigham5090]

Man this was hard to watch. I didn’t come away feeling like I knew anything more about him.

[@brandondavenport6147]

Tim Anderson has attitude problem and he uses a lot of language when kids are watching awful

[@Randle548]

Grow up bud.

[@HNDRX21]

Half of these comments are by people who have a particular ‘bias’ towards TA7 even in 2025. I will not elaborate on the undertones of why/what they’re saying lol. Anderson has been vilified by the media & by a certain demographic of fans ever since he bat-flipped in 2019. Sure, he didn’t do himself any favors by how he handled the spotlight, yet it’s not hard to understand why he may be combative in interviews. Man just wants to mind his business and move past the past-I for one hope TA7 gets it right in 2025! Go Halos!

[@bv6377]

You also have a bias. You're an angels fan

[@HNDRX21]

@ Yes, but to the individual Tim Anderson himself no bias…best case scenario what, TA7 is an all-star and improves the Angels to..76 wins? Lol I just want to see a player who has been perennially disrespected, given a fair shake. He’s never cheated the game like other players who routinely escape any whiff of criticism

[@seanisty]

It’s crazy if people took a Pysch class or something or just put themselves in a situation it wouldn’t be that hard to understand.

[@Dinoco-Dad]

AJ is one of the worst baseball personalities in all media covering the game. It's a shame because they do a good job producing this show and making good content but AJ is a certified clown.

[@Brownberet197]

Man he embarrassed black Sox nation and then last year happened jaha

[@KINGOF161stSTREET]

Man, this comment section looks like what a comment section would look like in the 1940’s! Thought this sport moved past calling players “thugs” just because of their skin color but I guess the sport got a long way to go. Sad tbh

[@Jalpaaaaaaaa]

Yall that have a particular bias towards TA are the same people who want Trevor Bauer back in the league.. Atleast hide it lol

[@ChicagoStreetTV]

TA7 South Side 💯

[@ooo_Kim_Chi_ooo]

Must feel amazing having Jackie Robinson on the cast.

[@BASEBALLfreakFORlife]

This buffoon is an absolute joke. Disrespectful and arrogant. He will be out of the league very soon

[@ronnierodriguez5388]

Damn that was cringe to listen to. Bro is way too defensive over simple generic questions on a player trying to make a comeback. No way he’s making any team with that attitude
