Memories of Tommy Pham

For a while seemed to hit mostly in Met losses, until it became apparent most games were Met losses. Made himself tradeable in the best connotation of the word.

About the only Met who overperformed this year.

Hit the shit out of everything. Hard line drives out the wing-wing. Appeared tightly wound

Replaced Marcus Stroman as the intense guy on the team, but managed not to be a dick about it. Either that, or he's kept any and all beefing with Joc Pederson on the down-low.

I remember having him on my fantasy team to start the season, then ditching him because he was underperforming, then regretting ditching him when he finally started to heat up. He was a solid Met, glad to have had him, but not weeping over his departure.

Kind of passed Tim Locastro, Darin Ruf, Mark Canha, and even Starling Marte (sorta) on the corner outfield depth chart in a single season. He might have never really been behind Locastro, but it looks better to pretend he was, so I'm calling it.

New here, thanks Edgy MD. I've written a parody song for each of the deadline-traded Mets. Here's my Tommy Pham entry. Who can take a fastball Mash it to left field Steal a couple bases and he'll make a highlight reel? It's Tommy Pham Oh, the Tommy Pham can The Tommy Pham can and he makes the crowd show love He shows his play is good Who should be playing elsewhere? Cause he doesn't need to be On this farkakte team a playoff game will never see It's Tommy Pham Oh, the Tommy Pham can The Tommy Pham can and he makes the crowd show love But this team doesn't play good The hitters don't rake, baserunning mistakes Trade deadline is so auspicious Talk about your playoff wishes Hot stove will cook those dishes So now he's gone to Phoenix 'Cause that's not Flushing Queens It's nothing really personal And he knows what that means It's Tommy Pham Oh, the Tommy Pham can The Tommy Pham will make the Diamondbacks win Cause these Mets don't play good

That's a pretty accurate impression.

The funny thing is that I thought the expanded playoffs would mean less deadline action. The broader post-season field increases demand, because more teams would be within sniffing range of the post season. But it also decreases supply, because fewer teams would be outside sniffing range of the post season. But I guess for that team on the bubble, with the choice to go either way, the prices went up. And that team could have been the Guardians or the Padres, but that team, it turns out, was the Mets. Looked at generally, was the amount of activity meaningfully different from a typical season?

Has anyone else ever used farkakte in a song parody here before? For any reason? And it was the perfect word. Kudos! Later

Good to have you, farkakte and all.

I thought Pham was a nice signing. I expected he would provide depth in the outfield. Little did I expect him to surpassMarte and Canha and become our best corner outfielder. He definitely was better than I expected.

I won't watch that video, of course, because Elon Musk can eat shit.

Edgy MD Aug 22 2023 05:53 AM Re: Memories of Tommy Pham

You're not missing that much. Tommy may fly off the handle but it's not evident from that video. The worst that says about him is that he has something of a chip on his shoulder. He more or less keeps his head while confronting fans, at least one of whom was out of line.
