After swinging right over the top of two, Nick Castellanos finally took a sweeper in the dirt in the fourth inning of Sunday’s NLDS Game 2. The Citizens Bank Park crowd, fed up at the offense and a flailing team trailing 2-0 and on pace for a series hole of the same score, congratulated him with a Bronx cheer.
Castellanos shook his head. The FS1 broadcast cut to him right at that moment.
Over the course of the next two hours, Castellanos sent these f***ing people into a frenzy.
Castellanos featured in a thrilling come-from-behind victory for the Phillies, who turned a 3-0 hole into a tie game, then erased a 4-3 deficit in a furious eighth-inning rally, then blew that lead in the ninth inning only for Castellanos to make it all worthwhile.
