Tommy Pham was fuming at the Brewers after he was thrown out at home on an atrocious path to the plate

Pham had a dirty slide but was the angry one here.

The White Sox went into Sunday’s game against the Brewers riding a 10-game losing streak, so the desperation to end that streak was understandable. But in true White Sox fashion, Tommy Pham managed to add to the embarrassment.

With the White Sox trailing by one run in the eighth inning, Pham wanted to test Christian Yelich’s arm on a fly out to left field. There was nothing wrong with the decision to send Pham there — even with Pham’s below-average speed. Yelich’s arm strength ranks in the 42nd percentile amongst MLB outfielders, so why not force him to make a play?

Yet, you won’t see any base runner take a worse path than Pham did on a tag from third.

Pham was running on the infield grass and took a direct path towards Brewers catcher William Contreras who tagged him out at home. Pham — the same guy who slapped Joc Pederson over fantasy football — took exception with how Contreras reacted to the play (apparently he can’t celebrate?). It got to the point where White Sox players and coaches had to intervene to calm Pham down.

But really, Contreras was the one who should have been upset with Pham, if anything. Contreras gave Pham a window to slide into home, but the White Sox outfielder opted to go straight at the catcher. Good teams don’t make mistakes like this:

Cooler heads would eventually prevail, and the Brewers went on to hand the White Sox their 11th straight loss.

Pham spoke about what happened after the game, and let’s just say he wasn’t thrilled. (Warning: Strong language)
