Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson likely is facing a very long suspension for his actions during the game against the Athletics on Friday night at Guaranteed Rate Field.
With two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, with the A's leading 5-3, Anderson took the first pitch of the at-bat, which appeared to be a ball that was high and inside. But home plate umpire Nick Mahrley called it a strike, upsetting Anderson.
Anderson turned towards Mahrley and began to argue. He walked back towards the batter's box but continued to talk.
