Tommy Pham isn’t a person to be messed with.
Just ask Joc Pederson.
But on Sunday, it was William Contreras who ignited the fashion of Pham and had the MLB veteran sounding like an expert wrestler cutting a promo when he met with the media following the White Sox’s latest loss to the Brewers
With two outs in the highest of the eighth and the White Sox down 4-3, Pham was sent to home to try to rating the tying run, however the throw to the plate easily beat Pham and Contreras tagged him out, celebrating intensely as he walked to the Milwaukee dugout.
That didn’t sit well with Pham, who immediately fired right back at Contreras verbally, to the purpose the ump after which his team needed to restrain him.
While the scene on the sphere didn’t extend beyond Pham continuing to bark on the Brewers, after the sport when he was asked concerning the incident he provided reporters a firey response.
“I’m nailed out at home by a mile, I’m going to the dugout and I hear the tough guy with all of the hoo-rah s–t,” Pham said. “I’m never starting anything, but I’ll be prepared to complete it. There’s a reason I do every kind of fighting within the offseason. Because I’m prepared to f–k any person up.”
“You may take it as what it’s,” Pham added before walking away
The entire incident had no impact on the ultimate final result of the sport because the White Sox’s miserable season trekked on with a 6-3 loss to the Brewers to drop to 15-45 on the 12 months.
The Brewers accomplished the series sweep of the White Sox, and for his part, Contreras was unphased by Pham’s outburst.
“I wasn’t really being attentive to what he needed to say,” Contreras told reporters. “I used to be just excited concerning the play and went back to the dugout.”
Pham famously slapped Pederson back in 2022 during batting practice before a game between the Giants and Reds, the 2 players’ respective teams on the time.
The meat stemmed from a fantasy football chat group.
