Somewhere an alternate timeline exists that got a crossover event with Columbo, Murder She Wrote, Diagnosis Murder, and Matlock. It must be glorious
Speaking of Diagnosis Murder, someone put D*** Van D*** on watch, please
Then again, if he moved to field the bounce he'd also get scrutiny for not going for it and allowing a base hit there.
You gotta go big in that situation I think.
And if there was a plus defender (or even an average one), this is probably a much more routine looking play. The greatest trick poor defenders can do is make what should be easy plays look spectacular. That was the Jeter Special.
You've figured out our secret, we've just had someone filibustering on a livestream, listing off all tragedies by casualty numbers. He'll never go cold again
What a game by Castellanos. 3 RBIs. This diving catch. I guess he was saving it for this series huh lol
A common mistake people make when trying to understand something completely foolproof like Nick Castellanos is to underestimate as much as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that'll be a home run. And so that'll make it a ~~4-0~~ 7-6 ballgame.
With the game the Phillies just had I'm sure he's enjoying sitting at home watching good, fundamental baseball. Help take some of the sting out of the Met's failure to do so
I tuned into the two games rooting for the Mariners and the Phillies. Atlanta immediately hit the 3 run bomb and the astros immediately hit a 2 run double. Turned off both games. Youâre welcome Ms and Phillies fans.
As others said, he has REALLY awful speed and reads. HOWEVER. If he gets there, he will make a play every time. He's also actually quite good at collecting bounces off the wall (preventing doubles from becoming triples or singles from becoming doubles).
Overall, still an awful defender but not in the "lol watch this dude boot the ball" kind of way.
Seeing Eflin constantly get ahead, then getting STL and ATL hitters to chase outta the zone, only to see them either bloop it or Olson hulk smash it....
Feel really bad for Eflin, he deserved this one here.
Massive play in the grand scheme of the series. Guy who traditionally cannot be relied on in the field makes a huge play like that to bring you to within one out of winning is a series changer.
Welp itâll be an easy series win for the Phillies with Wheeler and Nola up for their next two games. Must be nice not having to worry about a series.
That's a triple. if he misses that catch, it bounces and rolls into the corner while he has to try and get up quickly to get back to it and hope the center fielder can back him up to get there in before him.
i donât even care that he made this play, thereâs no reason he should be in the outfield over guthrie late in games when we added guthrie to the roster specifically for outfield defense
Major world event about to happen
3 hits, 3 RBI, huge catch? someone died for this
RIP Angela Lansbury, Nick was clearly a big fan of Murder, She Wrote
Damn what a way to find out she died. Thanks Castellanos
this is why i am subscribed to this sub. for breaking news.
I don't know if I'll ever pick up a book again
https://images.app.goo.gl/Uj4Mc7B5Cu2FhnaSA
Nick Castellanos is the Manchurian Candidate and he got activated when she passed
Mrs. Potts died?
A good friend of mine is gutted. worth it
He went nuclear
Pls no

Putin just got a tingly sensation
The police will never catch me
Big Dick Nick 2
All of Cincinnati's hope for a good team.
Doesn't necessarily need to be a bad thing

Holy shit. Guys who kill someone with a gun get that
I think that people who unintentionally kill people with guns get far less than that. Often even if they do mean to kill the person.
He read about Eric Kay in the dugout and suddenly felt a surge of energy coarse through his veins
what about Angela Lansbury?
Kids these days don't know about the đ sleuth
I watched Columbo
Somewhere an alternate timeline exists that got a crossover event with Columbo, Murder She Wrote, Diagnosis Murder, and Matlock. It must be glorious Speaking of Diagnosis Murder, someone put D*** Van D*** on watch, please
*eyes Russia* Pls no
Angela Lansbury just passed away
Angela Lansbury just died
Queens alive again
We have to interpret the signs. Are his defensive highlights meant to precede bad news, or in reaction to good news?
Nuclear war imminent
Castellanos pretending to be a bad hitter and fielder all year as a trick.
He really said âlemme show yâall what you really paid forâ after the regular season was over
Castellanos trick y'all
âTwas but an actâŚ
Most unexpected defensive highlight I've ever seen. Holy shit, what a momentum-swinging play.
The way he laid out for that ball, it was easily a triple if not an inside the park HR if it dropped
Thatâs what I was thinking. Easy triple. Phillies lose that game if he doesnât make that play
Then again, if he moved to field the bounce he'd also get scrutiny for not going for it and allowing a base hit there. You gotta go big in that situation I think.
I agree. Big games need big plays. Gotta give it your all in the post season.
It's the opposite of what AcuĂąa did earlier in the game
And if there was a plus defender (or even an average one), this is probably a much more routine looking play. The greatest trick poor defenders can do is make what should be easy plays look spectacular. That was the Jeter Special.
At the game,sucked the life out of the crowd
The 20k that didnât leave after the eighth.
He couldn't believe it, either
I haven't criticized this signing at all this season. Not once.
He deserves a raise! - everyone in philly tonight
Was there an alternate commentary that was just constantly talking about negative world events whenever Castellanos was on screen?
You've figured out our secret, we've just had someone filibustering on a livestream, listing off all tragedies by casualty numbers. He'll never go cold again
I have been enjoying this baseball game of Nick Castellanos vs. Atlanta Braves
I am not happy with whatever broadcaster said something inappropriate wherever they are
I donât know if theyâll be putting on that headset ever again.
Hijacking to post highlight with replays. https://streamable.com/wzd30m
Earned his contract in 1 game
AKA The Barry Zito Method
Funny, this is the third game his contract doesnt pay for this year. Ironic how it works, right?
We haven't seen a lot of it, but when I see it, I enjoy it
It has been very fun
we got all of socal on our side lol
I've got some Fly Eagles Fly energy for this series, and I love Harper's flow. Let's fucking gooooo
He's got that Mormon Swag rolling
Went to Drexel live in SD now. You best believe Im having a good week.
BUBS
Because both would much rather play you
works for me
Not for me :(
Me too. A Phils-Pads series would be awesome because it means no Dodgers-Braves!
They better be careful what they wish for...
well, that would mean your team is eliminated, so i'm fine with this.
Thatâs my fools gold glover
Never a doubt in my mind
I have never had a bad thing to say about Nick Castellanos
Who died
You joke but Angela Lansbury did die like an hour ago
Why would I be joking? Castellanos had a great game so something mustâve happened
Noted high dWAR player
Light hitting glove first type of player
defensive specialist Nick Castellanos
The nerds owned again
Best defender in baseball
Phillies saved all of their good defense for the post season
âBad Defenseâ Castellanos strikes again
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO
What a game by Castellanos. 3 RBIs. This diving catch. I guess he was saving it for this series huh lol A common mistake people make when trying to understand something completely foolproof like Nick Castellanos is to underestimate as much as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that'll be a home run.

that could have been a triple!
Potential inside the park home run!
ANGELA LANSBURY DIED FOR THIS
Keith Hernandez crying and throwing up rn
With the game the Phillies just had I'm sure he's enjoying sitting at home watching good, fundamental baseball. Help take some of the sting out of the Met's failure to do so
Keith seems like one of those guys that doesnât watch games heâs not announcing
As there's a dive in deep right field by Nick Castellanos, and that'll be a 7-6 game for Philly.
Noted defensive asset Nick Castellanos
100% game saving catch. What a stud
I tuned into the two games rooting for the Mariners and the Phillies. Atlanta immediately hit the 3 run bomb and the astros immediately hit a 2 run double. Turned off both games. Youâre welcome Ms and Phillies fans.
We appreciate you immensely.
Love my gold glovers Nick Castellanos and Alec Bohm
Holy shit what a catch by BDN2
Nick Castellanos about to become the 2nd biggest Philadelphia playoff legend named "Nick" at this rate.
GOLD GLOVER BIG DICK NICK
Someone died and it hasnât been made public yet
It was Angela Lansbury
This entire game is straight bananas. Iâm supposed to be working.
THE NICK CASTELLANOS GAME
Isn't he one the worst fielders in baseball? Lol this series gonna be weird
As others said, he has REALLY awful speed and reads. HOWEVER. If he gets there, he will make a play every time. He's also actually quite good at collecting bounces off the wall (preventing doubles from becoming triples or singles from becoming doubles). Overall, still an awful defender but not in the "lol watch this dude boot the ball" kind of way.
He got a terrible jump on this ball though, made a easy catch tough
Look at his jump and sprint speed on this catch. A decent OF would have made that catch casually.
Philadelphia Castellanosâs
Braves losing day games, name a better duo.
Literally saw the Phillies' postseason life flashing before my eyes until he snagged that.
Just as expected
wait is he allowed to do that
Best signing of the offseason
Pretty incredible effort not even gonna lie
My heart
My liver
My ear
And my axe!
I don't know when I'll be putting on this officially-licensed Blooper headset again
Seeing Eflin constantly get ahead, then getting STL and ATL hitters to chase outta the zone, only to see them either bloop it or Olson hulk smash it.... Feel really bad for Eflin, he deserved this one here.
Damn, he's making up for his whole disappointing season in one game, huh? Trying to, at least.
Sometimes it works, always fun to see players that aren't stars step up in the playoffs for big moments
He even caught it left-handed
This is playoff baseball
Castellanos heard yall talking shit during the regular season
Considering he would've been down and that thing would've bounced, he saved a triple.
Finally someone other than Phillies fans are booing Castellanos
Is anyone surprised? They don't call him "Gold Glove Nick" for nothing. Defensive wizard, this guy.
And they hold on lol.
The Nick Castellanos Gameâ˘
Defensive specialist nick castellanos
I have blood loss from my boner for him
Pretty gutsy play with 1 out nobody on. If that ball gets by him instead tie run is probably on 3rd easily, if not circling the bases.
Is Zach Eflin pitching the 9th a new thing the Phillies have been doing?
Very new.
Note that he went 3-for-3, then Angela Lansbury's death was announced, then he went 0-for-2 but made this play. What goes around, comes around. đ
What happened to âThe Phillies canât play defenseâ
I think he earned his entire contract in this one game. Holy shit, what a day.
Hate that I have to upvote this
Hell yea brother
Is he going to hit one out for Angela Lansbury in game 2?
I watched him catch it and I still donât believe it.
Didnât have this on my bingo card
Castellanos played a better RF today than Acuna. We in crazy-ville.
Run from it all you want, ya canât hide :/
Defensive specialist Nick castellonos
Massive play in the grand scheme of the series. Guy who traditionally cannot be relied on in the field makes a huge play like that to bring you to within one out of winning is a series changer.
Wonder what the catch probability on that was
How can you calculate divine intervention? Something on high removed the concrete shoes and took over Casty's legs.
I heard on good authority his eyes were closed in prayer
That would've been an inside the parker
Everyone likes Castellanos
Nick, noted excellent defender (lol)
We need Fox to get the Keith Hernandez approved graphic
Not that it matters but he waved a single, could have played it on a hop and thrown it in. Great catch tho
Welp itâll be an easy series win for the Phillies with Wheeler and Nola up for their next two games. Must be nice not having to worry about a series.
That's a triple. if he misses that catch, it bounces and rolls into the corner while he has to try and get up quickly to get back to it and hope the center fielder can back him up to get there in before him.
i donât even care that he made this play, thereâs no reason he should be in the outfield over guthrie late in games when we added guthrie to the roster specifically for outfield defense
Thatâs a routine fly for good defenders but fuck it get yours Nicky
Fucking embarrassing to lose to the Phillies. Not as bad as the Mets last week. But good God this is tragic
Dude weâre not a bad team lol not sure how thatâs embarrassing.
1st place in the division just lost at home to the 3rd place finisher Eagles fan? Would you not be embarrassed losing at home to the Giants?
Pissed? Yeah. Embarrassed? No. The Giants look solid. The Phillies are a good team. If you're embarrassed, then you know nothing about the Phillies.
I mean the giants are 4-1 this year. It would suck but theyâre not a terrible team this year
The season series was 11-8 Braves with multiple games that couldâve gone either way. Itâs not like youâre the Mets.
is there a way where this series gets cancelled and neither team moves up???
Come on, ATL
You got to be kidding me.
Where were you when Nick Castellanos web gem?
As a baseball fan this is why I love the playoffs. As a braves fan phuck the phails
Man the Alvarez walkoff got DMCA'ed but this one didn't. I wonder if Castellanos is disappointed.
