 One run game, two outs, runner on second. Oh, he's picked off. Tommy Pham is out. The inning is over. Monty thinks that's pretty convenient. Atta boy! You dumb fuck! Come on, man, be cool about it. Pham's like, ah, I didn't like that. There's actually a decent amount that went into that play. It's not just being a dumb fuck. And I'm gonna get into that and more on this breakdown that is brought to you by DraftKings. Thank you to DraftKings' response from the breakdown. But, you know, that's the one bad thing that happened for Tommy Pham. A lot of good happened. In this first at bat of the game, 0-1, he took a fast ball for a strike, and then he gets a change up in the same spot, grounds it to third slow roller, but he's got the speed. When you got the speed, you can get hits on balls like that. Now watch this. He's on first base, and Monty looks at him, and then looks back at home plate, and throws the pitch. Okay, the next pitch, Monty looks at him on first base very quickly, and then looks back to home, throws the pitch. That's put in play. They get Tommy out at second. That ends his time on the base pass. Now, his next at bat, he swings at the first pitch, fast ball, he gets it down the line. He says screw first base. That was boring. I'm gonna go to second. Gets a double. He's two for two on the day. A nice piece of hitting there goes the other way. He's on second base. He's looking at the pitcher, Monty. And now Monty looks at him, looks back, looks at first base, looks back home, and throws the pitch. Ball. Then the next pitch looks at Tommy at second base, looks back home, and throws the pitch. So Tommy Pham's keeping this, and that pitch gets hit, and Tommy Pham scores, but he's keeping knowledge of this, you know? Is he looking at me a lot? Is he looking at me a little bit? So now he's up for the third time. He's two for two. First pitch change up, low ball. Next pitch change up away. Two-oh. Give me that fastball he gave me last time. Yep, I'll do the same thing. Slices it down the line. It kicks off the fence. He hustles in to second. He's now three for three on the day. And he's jazzed up about it. Fist, fist, fist. Hello, hello, hello. And yeah, these swings were very similar. His two doubles, he just let that sinker get pretty deep. Look how similar they were. You know, just letting that ball get deep. One's a ground ball, one's slicing in the air. Both get him on second base. Now he's on second base, and Monty looks at him once, goes back, looks at him again. Oh, gotcha. Double look. Pham's out. Monty's thinking, boy, that's convenient. Innings over. Atta boy! You dumb fuck. Pham's thinking, oh, he looked twice. The last couple of times he was only looking once. Now look, Jordan Montgomery looks back at second. Pham says, I've been on base twice already this game. He has not looked twice at the runner. So as soon as he stops looking, I'm taking off. He looks back. Pham's like, I'm gonna get my secondary lead. But Montgomery looks again. And gotcha. Changed up his look. Got him. And he doesn't slide, but he was, I mean, he was out. He was out. And Monty did this when a runner was on second a lot. He changed up his looks. Look here. Runner's on second. It's not Pham. It's a different runner. He's looking at first base. He looks at the runner, looks at first, looks back at the runner, looks, oh, looking all over. A little bobbling around. And then another time, looking right at him. Goes back home, goes to first, goes back at him, goes to first. He's just looking around, you know? Letting him know. And they put a play on here. Says, I'm gonna look at you. I'm gonna look at home. And boom, I'm gonna try and pick you off. And they don't get him. But that's something pitchers do. Talk about all. You gotta change your rhythm, change your look. Debacks, they're studying this. That's why they're so good at stealing. They don't get crazy big leads. They get crazy big secondary leads by timing that pitcher by understanding. Is he gonna fall into a rhythm? Well, I'm gonna take advantage of that. Well, they thought they were taking advantage of it. They did not there. But anyway, Pham's up again, and a new pitcher's in the game. Stratton, and he's got a 1-1 count now. A little slider off the plate. Two strikes on Pham, fouls that fastball back, takes that change up low, swings and fouls this change up, stays 2-2. Ooh, takes that fastball inside, swings and fouls that fastball. Shoulda hit that one. He says, give me that fastball again, gets it again, shoots it. It looked like it was going right back at our faces. Bam. Send it where it came from. He's four for four on the day. Boom. No player has ever gone five for five in the World Series. Everyone thought he would have that chance, but no. Jace Peterson pinch hits for him, and some people were upset about it. They were like, oh, why are you doing that? Let us have history. Come on, blah, blah, blah, blah, the lefty for the righty, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then Tommy Pham said, hey, everyone, I asked Tori, can Jace hit for me? I wanted my dog to get his first World Series at bat. Stop this narrative, please. Please shut up about it. Jace Peterson said, he did an awesome thing that a friend would do. I really can't say enough about it. I wasn't expecting it, but at the same time, not surprised. He's that kind of guy. So Tommy Pham, sure, got called a dumb fuck by the Rangers pitching coach, and even then it could just be dugout shit talk, I don't think it's as terrible as some make it out to be. Unless they do have a personal beef, and then Tommy's like, no, no, it was rude and we hate each other, but whatever. Nice move by Jordan Montgomery, setting up the pickoff, and a great game by Tommy Pham as a player, and as a teammate. Thank you to DraftKings for sponsoring this breakdown. I appreciate that.
