"He should be suspended for life imo", "He's such a bum" - Fans react as Cincinnati Reds Tommy Pham is suspended for 3 games after slapping Joc Pederson over fantasy football dispute

Major League Baseball announced earlier today that Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tommy Pham will be receiving a three-game suspension for his altercation with San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson before Friday night's game.

"Tommy Pham received a 3-game penalty for slapping prior to Friday's game. He will miss the rest of the Reds' series with the Giants." - @ Jon Heyman

Pham apparently confronted Pederson at the home of the Cincinnati Reds, Great American Ball Park, about a dispute over a fantasy football league they played in together.

Pham accused Pederson of cheating and slapped Pederson in the face prior to yesterday's game. Pham did not play in last night's game because of the altercation. Pederson spoke last night after the game about the incident.

"Sounds like Tommy Pham sucks at fantasy football tbh" - @ Alex Pavlovic

Baseball world reacts to Cincinnati Reds Tommy Pham's 3-game suspension

One fan reacted to the news of Pham's suspension by saying he should be suspended for life. This may be a bit of an overreaction, but on the other hand, he did assault a person.

"@JonHeyman He should be suspended for life imo" - @ Jack

Another fan thinks that Pham is a straight-up bum for his actions.

"@JonHeyman He's such a bum lmaoooo" - @ eduardo

Pham assaulted Joc Pederson and one fan thinks that he should be suspended indefinitely because of it.

"@JonHeyman It was assault, should have been suspended indefinitely." - @ dugpickell1

MLB analyst Jared Carrabis commented on the situation and called out Tommy Pham's actions as "psychotic."

"Yo Tommy Pham slapped the F**K out of Joc. Holy s**t. Who the h**l holds this much hate in their heart for over a year because of fantasy football? Truly one of the most psychotic acts in sports history." - @ Jared Carrabis

One fan thinks that the MLB needs to look into the mental health of Tommy Pham, who has had several confrontations with players over the years.

"@JonHeyman Maybe MLB should look into the mental health of Pham" - @ large_poppa

Tommy Pham definitely deserved to be suspended for his actions as it is not a good look for the game of baseball, and it is extremely childish for a grown adult to hold a grudge over fantasy football. For more information and updates, go to the Sportskeeda Baseball page.
