Someone on Twitter said it best, the Phillies are that goo from ghostbusters 2 that just makes everyone angry and want to kill each other.

Would’ve been awesome to see 

 

 

Had some high hopes for castellanos when they signed him. I thought with the lineup around him and his ability he could be a really great player for the Phillies. He’s second on the team in hits but that’s because harper and segura got hurt and everyone else besides bohm (surprisingly jump this year as a contact hitter. Needs more power) is an inconsistent hitter or having a bad season on this team. 

castellanos war is -1.2 

he’s on pace to have his worse batting avg, worst OBP, worst SLUG % and worst OPS since he got called up his first year in the big leagues. 

He’s on pace for most Ks in his career (168 pace). And he’s swinging at everything and pitchers know it and see it 

.656 OPS ranks 132nd out of 153 qualifying MLB hitters.

last 270 AB hitting .218/.252/.300 which is 160 out 164 mlb hitters during that time

hes hit one homer since June 1  

castellanos is on pace for 14 homers and 78 RBI. Might decrease to even worse with how he’s hitting lately. which is definitely not where you want the power numbers to be and he should be way over 100 RBI considering he’s had more opportunities than he should since harper was out batting 3rd in the lineup and even before harper got hurt. He easily could be 115-125 range if he hit like last year. 

Sadly he’s been a bust so far with that contract. It’s only year one of the deal and he’s got 2 months to try and turn it around but really feels like he’s getting worse each game and the situation is getting worse around him.

It also makes it worse that he has a DGAF attitude every time he's interviewed. Makes the fans think he DGAF on top of sucking royally.

Yup.

It’s surprising how many delusional fanboys castellanos has on Twitter. There’s fans on Twitter who think he’s been fine and not a bust so far cause he has the 2nd most hits on the team and 2 RBI behind harper as their reasoning.  harper has missed 31 games and castellanos is still 2 behind. That’s awful for how many opportunities castellanos has had. And he is 2nd on the team in hits for a team that has bohm leading the team. Like realmuto is not what he once was. Didi looks done. Stott really isn’t ready for the role he has. He’s basically competing with inconsistent hoskins who takes a lot of walks so he doesn’t get as many hits. And schwarber who besides June is homer or bust. and the two best hitters harper and segura have been out a month and nearly 2 months. 

Just amazing how Herrera is on this team still he’s a POS and hasn’t even been good since 2016

Meh...I'll wait for Matt Gelb to report it first.  😀

Fineeeee …. Lol

I'm not even sure what their dust up was about.  I caught the remnants of it on twitter.  

I guess Jamie posted a video of the castellanos and Salisbury that was edited to take some of the interview out. Matt called her out that her video wasn’t the full video so it lacked context. Then she said something like she didn’t know that. And he was like you would’ve if you ever showed up to the ballpark to actually cover the game and team. Called her a disgrace and he said come find him at the park if she has a problem with what he said.

Oh she's the one who did that?  Good she should have been called out.  It was a dumb thing to do and made Salisbury look worse.  When in reality they kind of moved on until Nick brought it back up again, like a child.  

Yeah. But Twitter turned into that Matt gelb thinks too highly of himself and he was being sexist towards her cause he wouldn’t have said what he did to another male reporter/journalist

Gelb is a tool

Horrible :furious:

Very crisp defensive performance by both teams here in the second inning.

Looked like in that clip Salisbury kind of lost it.  I think that’s why we have to see the whole thing

Way to go Rhys. Way to drop that foul ball

They all looked and acted like petulant children.

The "whole thing" included Castellanos saying "are we done here" and then got into it with Salisbury off the record. 

Pretty much all of the beat writers have a problem with that part being edited out and that it shouldn't have been aired in the first place. 

What a trade it was lol 

 

You don't become the MLB team with the most losses ever by making good decisions!

The only one who was half way decent was Padilla. The other 3 were hot garbage. 

Nola coming through in a big game as usual
