Not sure Pham making an excuse for his bad baserunning is the authority here.
If you don't send him, you've got .237 hitting Gavin Sheets coming up next with two outs.

Was at the game,  and I agree with this take. The misplayed bunt before that though... yikes. You sprint until they call it foul

Wrong again, aina?

You fall for fake tough guys a lot.

Pham said “It was a shallow flyball to left field. You would expect the left fielder to throw the baserunner out on that play,” he said. “The third base coach (Eddie Rodriguez) sends you, you've got to go. I'm nailed out at home by a mile."
