Video appears to show ex-White Sox Lucas Giolito reenacting the Jose Ramirez, Tim Anderson fight to Angels teammate

Word has gotten around FAST about the fight.

The Tim Anderson and Jose Ramirez fight seen ’round the world is already making shockwaves across baseball.

Specifically, it looks like people are going to focus on Ramirez nailing Anderson with a punch that knocked down the Chicago White Sox shortstop and maybe the aftermath that included Andrew Vaughn carrying Anderson away.

Word might have gotten around to ex-White Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito, who was filmed by someone miming punches to one of his new Los Angeles Angels teammates. Was he telling that Angel about the fight? Looks that way!

Andrew Vaughn carried Tim Anderson away, was the real MVP of the Guardians – White Sox brawl

The real MVP of the basebrawl between the White Sox and Guardians.

There was so much to take in from what ended up being a serious basebrawl on Saturday between the Cleveland Guardians and Chicago White Sox.

There was, at the center of it, Jose Ramirez and Tim Anderson throwing actual haymakers at each other before the Guardians third baseman sent the White Sox shortstop sprawling to the dirt with one punch that led to Cleveland radio invoking Howard Cosell.

And then there was Parts 2 and 3 of the brawl, which led to Anderson’s teammate Andrew Vaughn literally picking up the shortstop and bringing him to the dugout, seemingly with ease:

Good work.

Whoa. This was a huge fight!

Who knew it was going to be Fight Night on Saturday in baseball?

Perhaps not since Jose Bautista got decked by Rougned Odor have we seen two baseball players square off and actually throw punches, until Jose Ramirez and Tim Anderson did, with Ramirez nailing Anderson with a punch that knocked the Chicago White Sox shortstop down and leading to a “DOWN GOES ANDERSON!” call.

What led to that whole thing? We’ll find out, I’m sure. But there are a bunch of photos snapped of the whole thing that led to quite a brawl with other players.

Here’s a look:

Guardians’ radio pulls a Howard Cosell with Jose Ramirez, Tim Anderson fight call

“DOWN GOES ANDERSON! DOWN GOES ANDERSON!”

We haven’t seen a baseball brawl in what feels like forever, and on Saturday night, we got one in the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Guardians game.

It was all started when Jose Ramirez had some words with Tim Anderson, and then all chaos broke loose when the Guardians third baseman and White Sox shortstop put up their fists and exchanged blows.

But it was one punched that sent Anderson down to the dirt. And the Cleveland radio call summed it up by invoking a classic Howard Cosell call: “DOWN GOES ANDERSON! DOWN GOES ANDERSON!”

Yep, that’s “DOWN GOES FRAZIER!” for you:

Kind of a perfect call. We haven’t seen anything like this since that time Jose Bautista got hit.

An ugly Tim Anderson and JosĂ© RamĂ­rez fist fight sparked an all-out White Sox – Guardians brawl

An all-out brawl broke out in Cleveland against the White Sox and Guardians on Saturday night.

A fight between Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson and Cleveland Guardians third baseman José Ramírez sparked an all-out brawl between both teams on Saturday night in Cleveland.

The truly outrageous, lengthy brawl started in the bottom of the sixth inning with the White Sox leading the Guardians 5-1. RamĂ­rez slid into Anderson at second base, with the umpire calling RamĂ­rez safe, but the two started exchanging words the second RamĂ­rez slid into second.

That turned into Anderson and RamĂ­rez getting into boxing stances and throwing punches at each other. An umpire tried to break up the fight, but as soon as the fists when up, he quickly left the equation.

As you could imagine, all pandemonium broke loose after that, as the brawl eventually extended to both dugouts.

It’s perhaps the wildest moment of the MLB season so far.

Like, this is just everything you don’t want to see in a baseball game. The game eventually resumed, but you can imagine the main league office will be furious about this. Suspensions and fines feel like a guarantee at this point for both teams, particularly for Anderson and RamĂ­rez.

The game also had a historic amount of ejections from both sides.

MLB fans seemed genuinely stunned by the brawl (and how the umpire seemingly got out of the way so the two could box) as it played out on live television for everyone to see.

Jose Ramirez stole home thanks to a mesmerizingly cool slide and MLB fans were so impressed

Cannot stop watching.

The Cleveland Guardians are in an absolute battle with the Twins atop the American League Central standings, and the division title could very well come down to a single game. That’s the exact kind of scenario where you need gutsy plays to pay off.

For a moment, it seemed like Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez came through with just that against the Kansas City Royals.

Before the eventual 4-3 loss to the Royals in 10 innings, Ramirez gave the Guardians the lead with a straight steal of home with lefty Aroldis Chapman seemingly ignoring him at third base. Home plate umpire Jeremy Riggs initially called Ramirez out on the play, but replays would show that Ramirez got in there with easily the coolest slide of the MLB season. That body control was something else.

Just wow. Also, credit to the camera operator for a perfect shot of the slide. Ramirez was ruled safe after the review, which could have propelled the Guardians to a huge win. But Emmanuel Clase would allow two runs in the bottom half of the 10th, and the Royals won, 4-3.

Still, that slide was poetry in motion. It deservedly received all of the praise from MLB fans.

Bucs sign five 2023 draft picks

The Bucs’ first three draft picks remain unsigned.

[connatix div_id=”3f8b015acdd24c648befc5d5dac47469″ player_id=”afe1e038-d3c2-49c0-922d-6511a229f69c” cid=”7cbcea0d-4ce2-4c75-9a8d-fbe02a192c24″]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced the signing of five of their 2023 draft picks, including fifth-round picks LB SirVocea Dennis and TE Payne Durham and sixth-round picks CB Josh Hayes, WR Trey Palmer and EDGE Jose Ramirez. This leaves their first three picks of the 2023 draft, DT Calijah Kancey, OG Cody Mauch and EDGE YaYa Diaby, still unsigned.

The newly signed rookies are unlikely to impact the Bucs’ cap space in a meaningful way. Cap calculations are cut off after the top 51 salaries, and with rookies making as little as $750,000, they may not make that cutoff prior to preseason roster cuts.

With the majority of their 2023 draft picks coming in rounds five and six, the Bucs have locked up their depth and developmental prospects from this class. While the key draft picks are still unsigned, the Bucs are closer to season readiness.

The total rundown on new Bucs EDGE Jose Ramirez

Here’s a little bit about Tampa Bay’s last draft pick in 2023:

The Buccaneers used their last pick on an edge rusher from their home state who did not play premier competition but has tremendous upside and athletic talent.

Here’s a little bit about Tampa Bay EDGE [autotag]Jose Ramirez[/autotag]:

Height: 6’2″

Weight: 242 lbs

Age: 24

Hometown: Lake Alfred, Florida

Scouting Report (Dane Brugler, the Athletic): “A two-year starter at Eastern Michigan, Ramirez played an edge-rushing role in former defensive coordinator Neal Neathery’s four-man front. After not putting his hand in the ground until juco, he was consistently productive in Ypsilanti with 31.5 tackles for loss in 25 games the last two seasons, leading the FBS in sacks per game (1.0) in 2022. With his arc athleticism and active hands to adjust mid-play, Ramirez rushes like a mad man, and it’s a matter of when, not if, he finds his way to the pocket. He can be engulfed and lose contain as an edge setter, but his natural instincts usually lead him to the football in pursuit. Overall, offenses will find success running to his side of the field, but Ramirez gets the quarterback off schedule with his relentless pass-rush sequence. He projects best standing up as a rotational edge rusher.”

1 edge rusher for the Vikings for every round of the 2023 NFL draft

The NFL Draft is less than two weeks away and @MattAnderson_8 highlighted one edge rusher the Minnesota Vikings could target from each round

The Minnesota Vikings face an intriguing decision in the upcoming NFL draft regarding their edge position. They signed Marcus Davenport in free agency with Danielle Hunter and Za’Darius Smith still on the roster.

However, the decision becomes intriguing when considering the team’s confidence in this group beyond the 2023 season. Hunter and Davenport are slated to be free agents in 2024 and Smith requested his release earlier this offseason.

While it feels unlikely for the Vikings to select an edge rusher early, they could take one with the position having question marks in the future. Here is a list of one potential edge rusher in each round of the 2023 Draft for the Vikings.
