Chicago White Sox fans react to Tim Anderson being ejected in Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants: "Umps are such fake tough guys"

Tim Anderson hit the showers early during the Chicago White Sox matchup with the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday. The incident occurred in the third inning when Anderson faced Giants pitcher Logan Webb.

Anderson tried to ask for time but was not granted it, resulting in him striking out. He motioned to the home plate umpire, D.J. Reyburn, to look at him before returning to the dugout. A few pitches later, a questionable strike call on Luis Robert Jr. resulted in Anderson yelling from the dugout, resulting in his ejection.

Reyburn did not have his greatest day in the office, leading to much of the frustration in Wednesday's ballgame, which Chicago won 7-3. His strike zone was big and inconsistent, leading to some balls being called strikes. He'll surely have a lot to go over after he's been given his umpire report card for the game.

For two teams that don't have a ton of history playing against each other, there sure is a lot of tension. This is the only time the two teams will face each other all year. Thursday's series finale could spark some fireworks.

"Does baseball think any of us fans like this? These umps are such fake tough guys," one fan tweeted.

"DJ Reyburn strikes again. It's not even Angel that did it lmao," tweeted another fan.

Many fans are fed up with how short-tempered MLB umpires seem to be. This isn't something new, as umpires have often sparked controversy over the years for their inability to control their emotions and the game. This is a big reason why fans scream for robot umpires to replace humans.

Fans are hoping something changes soon. They attend games to see the best in the world in action, like Tim Anderson, which is why it's tough to see umpires so quick-triggered.

Watch out for Tim Anderson this season

Not many players mean as much to their team as Tim Anderson means to the Chicago White Sox. He's the squad leader, and the team moves as he does.

The White Sox looked discombobulated for much of the season last year as Anderson missed 83 games. He tore his sagittal band near his left middle finger, which for any hitter, is quite the injury.

Over the last five seasons, he has not seen his batting average dip below .300. He's consistently near the top of the leaderboard for the American League batting champion. Given how many games he missed last season, watch for Anderson to make up for lost time this year.
