NEW YORK – Tommy Pham saw people saying he had no idea what he was talking about. He read tweets mocking him for his opinion.
He shared his belief, publicly and privately for more than the past month, that the Cincinnati Reds were one or two players away from contending for a playoff spot.
Yes, the same Reds club that started the season with a 3-22 record and has sat in last place in the division for most of the year.
Pham knew people would laugh at what he believed, but he says the team’s play over the last week underscores his point.
