Tim Anderson Wins The 2019 Batting Title Because God Hates Me

Tim Anderson winning the batting title is the perfect cap off to my dog shit week.  Everyone saw how I went on a mini-rant to Dente on Barstool Radio last week about how batting average is an archaic stat.  Sure it’s a triple crown stat and people still use it to reference a player’s offensive output to an extent, but it really shouldn’t be.

Well now here I am blogging about a White Sox player having the best batting average in the entire league because god hates my guts.  I guess all of the years of lying, cheating, and generally just being a total scumbag have finally caught up to me.  I’m taking L after L after L.

Now I will still stand by my original point that batting average doesn’t really matter.  Everyone should know that at this point.  Is it cool that Anderson won the title?  Absofuckinglutely.  Would I rather be blogging about a player who’s OBP was the best in the league this year?  You betcha.

But TA7 taking home the batting title is a great symbol for both him and the White Sox this year.  It’s an excellent achievement regardless of my personal opinion on the statistic.  Anderson has worked his dick off to become a really good goddamn player.  It wasn’t too long ago that he was a really good athlete posing as a baseball player, and now he’s developed into a really good baseball player that just just so happens to be a supreme athlete.  He puts on a show and I love that he’s going to be the Sox short stop with their competitive window opening up.  I love this dude.  He’s one of the main reasons why Sox fans should be so bullish on the future.

I’ll talk about what both his and the White Sox future holds in my year end wrap up blog.  Shout out to TA7.  Dude’s a stud
