Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson is one of baseball’s brightest stars, but these past few days in Cleveland have certainly been ones to forget.
During Game 1 of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Guardians, Anderson had himself a three-error game at shortstop. He started the game with a throwing error, which ultimately resulted in a run. He followed that up with a two-error second inning that helped spark a nine-run inning for the Guardians.
Baseball players love the “short memory” cliché, but when you’re struggling like Anderson did on Wednesday, it’s tough to hold back frustrations and move on. We saw that when Anderson flipped off someone in the crowd right as the TV cameras were focused on him. (Warning: Obscene gesture)
