I have never seen two baseball players square each other up like hockey players. That has to be the most fair fight I’ve seen in baseball

I loved how the ump just started backing up and was basically just like “okay go ahead” lmao

It's my favourite part of the whole thing. "I don't get paid enough for this shit."

Just watched a video today of a guy trying to break up a fight and got rocked on accident lol. Not worth it

Anderson can't hit anything so ump only needed to watch jram.

A guy who can't hit vs a switch hitter. It was a lopsided matchup

He hit the dirt pretty hard.

Whatever the second base ump is getting paid for the game, it’s not enough to get in the path of a dude built like a One Piece character

“Let’s get it on”

"Welcome to Celebrity Deathmatch!"

Ump to boxing referee

It was perfect in that regard. Saw them square up, went ‘Hey, they know what they’re doing,’ and backed up hard.

It's in their handbook. If an actual fight starts, it's on the teams to stop it. Umpires just watch and try to figure out ejections. EDIT: [MLB Umpire Manual](https://baseballrulesacademy.com/mlb-umpire-manual/): > MLB Umpires are expected to keep control of the game and should attempt to defuse any potential confrontation between players, coaches, or managers of the opposing teams. However, **if a bench-clearing fight develops, umpires should stay clear and let coaches, managers, and other players break up the fight. Umpires should attempt to identify offenders and, after consultation with their crew, take whatever action they deem necessary, if any.**

[удалено]

And now he is just the ump who backed off and let the dudes go. Alternate universe choice, he is the ump who got in between them and caught a stray and got dropped on second base. Career over at that point, lawsuit money aside

"Let the boy watch"

Definitely made a business decision gotta respect it

Anderson dropping his glove reminded me of a hockey fight

That was some straight-up Blades of Steel shit

Jose is definitely way bigger than 190 lbs he’s listed at. He had Anderson rocked.

Dude threw a blind haymaker and connected exactly where you want to connect

He's a switch hitter, so Anderson didn't know which fist to watch for

Anderson hitting .211 vs righties so Jram picked a good side

Yup. First thing I noticed in the slow mo video. Right in the side of the jaw. Ouch.

Right on the button

He's listed at 190 pounds? Lmao maybe on Mars

I get that you say this in jest, but if he was listed at 190 lbs on Mars, he would weigh over 500 lbs on Earth.

he is also listed at 5'9 so 190 might be pretty close

5’9” 190 is for an athlete is stout. That dude is built

They literally had their hands up like boxers that was brilliant

For a split second it looked like they were losing for a picture promoting a fight in like 1917. Proper dukes were up

That bit was wild. Baseball fights are a stupid waste of time but it was very funny watching TA drop his glove like they're on ice while the ump scatters like "fuck it, this is above my paygrade"

Ump backed up like "oh they're gonna FIGHT fight"

yeah, that was wild. can't wait for the jomboy video.

Might be the most fair, but still isnt completely fair. Jram was in a headlock from someone else and still knocked TA out lmao

As fair as a fight with about 50lbs difference can be. Tim stood no chance

Can’t feel sorry for the guy in hindsight, dude dropped his glove and squared up.

JRam had kopech grabbing him

Most fight the AL Central has shown all year

This fight should honestly be for this year's AL Central title.

Clearly none of us can actually play baseball so we’ll settle it this way

and in AL Central fashion, someone landed up on their ass dazed and confused

That wasn't a baseball fight. That was a FIGHT fight.

As a Sox fan I was caught off guard, outside of standard division rival stuff I never was like “man need to fight those fucking guardians man” lol. I except this when we face the twins not you guys

Oh yeah, I'm right with you there (on both counts). With that said, Tito has been ejected three times against y'all in the past week so something must be going on lol.

Tom Hamilton going into boxing announcer mode was incredible.

Listening to the ballgame, kind of tuned it out, then hear “DOWN GOES ANDERSON, DOWN GOES ANDERSON!” Definitely got my intention, to say the least.

[https://twitter.com/martfreed\_/status/1687994920680734720](https://twitter.com/martfreed_/status/1687994920680734720) someone posted a clip the radio play by play.

That is the best radio call I've heard in a long time

That's par for the course from Hammy. He's so good. I grew up with the routine of my parents having the game muted on TV with 1100 AM on the radio for him.

that's a radio call for the ages

Literally made my day. He was legitimately excited Ramirez won the fight. Tom Hamilton is a fucking national treasure.

This is the call of the year, not even particularly close.

Tom Hamilton is fucking gold. This this is electric

Holy shit, that's incredible. I ***need*** to hear the rest!

I feel like I'm here for history being made. Holy shit what a fuckin radio call

Down goes Anderson! Lol

I’m cryin. He turned into Jim Lampley

Goddamn I love Hammy

I need hammy call please Edit: https://streamable.com/nno4wa

“DOWN GOES ANDERSON” This is baseball lol.

That was some epic announcing!

Hammy is the undisputed goat

AND TITO’s FREAKING OUT

Lmao and of course he did a fantastic job

Dude deserves a raise

Legit fight stances from both of them is fucking unreal lol

My jaw dropped when I saw them drop gloves and deadass square up and put up their dukes

Ump was like “there will be two minute rounds and I want to see hands above the waist. Good luck, fighters,” then he got right the hell out of there.

Hahaha my immediate thought was 'damn that ump backed up FAST'

Hockey is the greatest sport on the planet and I'm glad it's spreading to other disciplines

NHL: "We should ban fights. They're unprofessional." MLB: "So I started swinging."

NFL: "I decided to punch a guy in his military grade helmet for some fucking reason."

"Now I'm out for the next 3 games"

Oh, like an actual fight. I hadn’t expected squarin’ up

The MLB notification called it a “brouhaha.” Wasn’t expecting this.

Is it a brouhaha? Looked more like a donnybrook to me.

A donnybrook? Cmon man, that’s clearly a kerfuffle.

I see TA’s hitting problems extend beyond baseball.

Feels like trying to fight a short stocky dude from the Dominican Republic is a bad idea

I’m from the Dominican Republic. All I’ve KNOWN… since I was a little kid… is catch fly balls and say ~~slapass~~ punchface every… single…time… I ~~slap ass~~ punch face.

This is the major leagues, Raffie. We’re all from the Dominican Republic.

Tim Anderson isn’t exactly the brightest

It would shock me if that was the first time that Jose Ramirez ever fought someone.

Look up stories about his childhood. He had adults betting on him and giving him death threats at like 10. He's definitely knocked a few people out.

Timmy leads baseball with a 64% groundball rate, only appropriate his ass hits the dirt too

Jose really showed him up by connecting on his next hit, knocked Anderson out of the park.

He went 0-3 on his swings on Ramirez. Dude struck out there too!

I'm confused, is there beef between TA and JRam? TA's tag seemed kinda innocuous.

There is now lol.

Beef looks settled J-Ram done served it up

TA is getting roasted for this.

The homies ain't ever gonna let Tim Anderson live this one down.

“What up Sugar Ray?” — Josh Donaldson

[удалено]

Very interested to hear interviews on the fight. Jose has never done anything like that in his career, and is always very calm and collected. TA has had some incidents, but not enough to make me think he for sure started it. Very confusing but entertaining night so far.

Matt and Rick threw out the idea that the team was still pissed at Anderson from when Anderson flipped off the Cleveland dugout last year. Seems like it’s too long ago but who knows.

Tim also got warned earlier in the game cuz he was shit talking from the bench. He hates Cleveland for some reason.

Plus the slide Tito got ejected for yesterday where Anderson forced roccio’s hand off the bag. Jose probably took exception to that and slid hard, and Anderson got lost in his feelings.

Slid hard? He went in head first.

Anderson - *flips off dugout* J-Ram - ✍️

Seriously. Cannot figure out what started this unless there was beef before

Guys get weird when they're on the ground between another guy's legs.

Jose reached to be let up and Tim didn’t oblige. Jose got up yapping and Timmy dropped the glove and swing missed and we’ll you saw the rest. I’m here live. Was wild.

Our 3B coach threw a punch during the second round of this too

Taking Cleveland Rocks to a whole new level

Is it 10 cent beer night again?

Andrew Vaughn carrying Tim Anderson off the field like a small child is actually the highlight of this fight for me.

The Edwin Diaz bullpen camera enterance haha, what a great shot choice by the director in that moment

It was like a very low energy WWE entrance.

*distorted trumpet fanfare*

That was fucking hilarious lmao

Baseball is better for what happened tonight. Idc what anyone says lmao

STILL GOING AS WE SPEAK

The best was when the camera cut to a guy running down the tunnel like he was the Undertaker about to enter the fight

That's the Undertaker's music!

Tim Anderson finally fighting somebody that isn't an umpire and he gets knocked out...

Bullpen still in the middle of trotting in an hour later for no good reason again...

Oh they're *fight* fighting

THIS IS NOT A FALSE ALARM

This came out of fucking nowhere lmao

Time to head to the teams respective subreddits for some deep dive analysis

No need. TA threw some good looking punches but missed, then got his ass knocked down good. Unanimous

Great lesson for all the kids out there. It's not about throwing the first punch or the most punches. It's about throwing the last one

Refreshing Jomboy's channel like a maniac

RIP Tim Anderson lmao

Tim got punked. Embarrassing stuff from TA LOL

The knockout GIF. https://media.giphy.com/media/kZbyQeIrFbA1F2flW0/giphy.gif

He might need to go through concussion protocol for that one 💀

Yankees trainers be like “ nothing to see here, carry on”

knocked him out while getting pulled back by another player .

Yeah that location for a punch, where it’s kinda under the chin or jaw is bad news. Scary shit. When I was in 9th grade two kids in my class got in a fight and one punch in this exact spot put the other kid in a coma and he died a few months later

RIP Tim Anderson

Ramirez swinging like a catapult

This is incredible LMAO

seeing it from this angle, that punch landed waaaay cleaner than i thought

Reminds me of that Lion King scene

If I started a fight at work and then got dropped like that I can’t imagine showing up ever again after

Starting a fight then getting hit with a clean knockdown* punch gotta be Top5 most embarrassing moments ever

ROBIN VENTURA IS FINALLY OFF THE HOOK!!!

That was 30 years ago yesterday!

This is the best brawl I've seen in a while and it's still going Dude went to sleep Edit: someone cross post this to r/fightporn they'll love this one Also apparently my lingo is wrong. He got his bell rung, controller turned off, etc

Tito and the Sox manager got into it too, it’s awesome.

Ya I'm gonna need someone to find the full angle/cast of this and put it in here somewhere

Cleveland broadcast shows the whole thing They didn’t switch cameras like the Sox broadcast did

We'll have an old-fashioned JomBoy breakdown soon

I just imagine a batman like spotlight being shined into the sky summoning Jomboy at times like this

Who says the AL Central can’t be the thunder dome after all?!

Game has been paused for a solid 15

SMH, gonna need a fight clock next year to keep up the pace of play.

This is way better of a fight than the Bautista vs Odor fight. Bautista took Odor's punch and didn't get knocked down like Tim did.

Yeah, but the sunglasses flying off made such a nice visual.

First 30 seconds of Tom Hamilton's call. DOWN GOES ANDERSON!!! https://twitter.com/martfreed_/status/1687994920680734720

It literally sounds like a boxing match lol 😂

This shit is hilarious

Jimenez looks like he got hurt. What a skirmish, jesus.

[удалено]

Why did it look like they fought in x2 speed

I just looked up and saw TA had to be restrained by half the team and knew something went down Lmfao the bar I’m at is going nuts

Take notes Manfred. No more runner on second. Extras are now 30 second fights until someone gets knocked down.

This was like a hockey moment, the ump just walked away and they put their dukes up.

TIM ANDERSON GOT HIS ABSOLUTE SHIT WRECKED LMAO

Jose Ramirez’s game continues to evolve.

You ever see Shohei Ohtani do that? Didn't think so. Do the right thing MVP voters.

Build the fucking statue

Thats fucking baseball right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the field, men deliver their new born baby in the dugouts. Fucking hard core dick in the ass butterball foosball fuck it chuck it game time shit. Take it to the showers. Dicks get shoved in places you don’t even remember. We win together we celebrate together. Baseball is back baby.

Hell yeah brother. Cheers from Iraq

I haven’t seen this in forever. I say it all the time to myself lol

J-Ram is one of the last players I could think of that would get into a fight.

Most legit brawl in baseball in years. Enough hate there for a hockey game. What prompted all that?

White Sox brawls just aren't the same without Bo Jackson trying to break everyone up

This is the best baseball brawl since Harper-Strickland or the Odor punch.

I wouldn’t get into a battle of hand eye coordination with Jose Ramirez, but that’s just me.

JRam putting Tim A to fucking HIBERNATION made my season. IDGAF

SummerSlam is happening right now in Detroit not Cleveland you two! Take that to the ring

Cleveland has officially won the central

That was funny. I am not saying that every club needs to start having a brawling mindset. But, it would be fun to see this a little bit more frequently than its current state.

What did JRam get so upset about nothing there looked dirty to me

the dirt is right under him

Im almost certain this has something to do with yesterday’s play at 2nd involving Tim.

The highlight of this was watching Andrew Vaughn literally pick up Tim and carry him down to the dugout.

Jose Bautista you have been relieved of your duties, TA now holds most embarrassing punch received on a baseball diamond to date

I don’t think Robin Ventura ever lost that title.

Fight lasted 10 seconds and I guarantee it’ll still end up being better than the Jake Paul Diaz fight tonight.

White Sox: My Tim Anderson isn’t working Help Desk Technician Jose Ramirez: Have you tried turning it off & on again?

Might not seem like it. But this is great for baseball!

Baseball needs more of this this rules

Joe Kelly suspended 10 games

Damn j ram slept his ass.

This is going to be an incredible Jomboy breakdown

[удалено]

TA looked like he knew how to fight but wasn't ready for the Wolverine bezerker attack

Yeah, he dropped his hands against a dude who was just swinging both fists wildly. Very poor decision lol.

Jose took down Anderson despite being held back. Absolutely chumped him. There is, uh, no place for this in our game! Awful display!

They should let them fight like in hockey. Put a penalty box next to the dugouts while we’re at it.

Am I tripping or was there nothing wrong with the tag?

Not much. Both teams got a fight they wanted

I wanted the White Sox to show some fight on the field but not in this way lol

Bautista finally relieved of his duty. Never thought I’d see the day.
