Mariners announcer takes on-air swipe at Tim Anderson

As a result, Sims decided to joke about Anderson’s bad fighting mechanics after the (totally unrelated) Crawford collision.

“He took a harder shot than Tim Anderson took the other night,” said Sims of Crawford. “And [Anderson] is right-handed. He came out left-handed, left himself wide open for a right cross. But we digress.”

Ouch. That is just piling onto Anderson, who continues to take L after L following the brawl with Ramirez.

A two-time All-Star, Anderson was suspended six games for the fight (while Ramirez was only suspended for three games). News subsequently emerged that Anderson had also been involved in an altercation with a White Sox teammate several weeks prior.

Everybody is getting their jokes in at Anderson’s expense right now, including minor-league teams with their promos. Now even opposing announcers whose teams have nothing to do with the White Sox – or their division for that matter – are adding on as well.
