Pham's had a respectable career and belongs in the big leagues, but the Bally Sports crew is really hyping him as if we had a Mays or Griffey Jr. like talent roaming the OF.

I wonder if ownership dictates and influences what announcers have to say?

Pham really looked like a star in '17 when he came out of no where for a big breakout season (.306 avg, 23 HR and 25 SB in only 444 AB, .931 OPS).  I remember that season, but I thought he was some young player.  I stead he was 29 years old back then.  He had a couple of more decent seasons in '18 and '19, but dropped off dramatically the last 2 seasons (.226 avg, .705 OPS, only 18 HR in 584 AB).  Now he is 34 and washed up.
