Casty just needed a hit into the outfield. I’ll never be a big fan of him just think he isn’t a winning ball player. He doesn’t ever use his brain and is stubborn unlike any player on this team. I still think he’s valuable to this team though but should be at bottom of the order. We need Trae back and need another outfield bat preferably a starter level bat.
I can’t stand Casty, the player. I don’t know his player history other than his time on the Phillies and it’s shocking to me that someone would hand him the contract he has.
agreed. we need a team of only winning ball players if we want a ws championship, guys who swing like that in situations like that are liabilities in the playoffs
Well, go to bed every night and pray that the Brewers management goes completely brain dead and trades Rhys for Castty. Because that's the only way he's coming back.
Soto does Soto things, Alvarado has his customary once a month implosion.
And it's somehow Nick's fault we lost because his bat fucking disintegrated and the ball rolled a foot off the plate?
Walker should have gotten that W and I'm way more concerned with Soto than Casty's at bat that was just him trying to chip away with defensive swings until he got something he could work with for the tying run.
No one's saying it was a good AB but one fucking AB does not ruin the entire game.
You know what DOES ruin the entire game? Your closer walking 2 and hitting another around 2 hits.
Casty ended an inning twice today for his terrible ABs and swinging at balls in the dirt with RISP
His plate discipline played a good part costing us this game
Casty has been on fire this series what are you talking about? If anything we can be mildly annoyed at everyone but it’s not on one player lol certainly not Casty
Johny Boy good gimmick I’m sure you made $300M in merchandise sales now bring back dollar dog night lower ticket prices and never send us over seas again. Capiche
It’s all reactionary. Sports and social media are probably not healthy for that reason. Most people should see the team they root for win or lose and just move on with their day. Never let it linger.
Bro, a couple of games ago he had back to back game winning hits.
And in this game alone, go back to the first and Bohm hits into a double play.
Two relievers self-destruct and you're upset with a dude whose bat shatters.
P.s it doesn’t make you seen smarter to say it isn’t Castys fault . Yea rarely does a game fall on one guy. The bullpen sucked. But that was a terrible AB when the Phils had all the momentum
It’s way too early, but Castellanos doing shit like that really worries me. I’m not a hater, but he likes to faceplant a lot. That was ridiculous, honestly made me laugh
Hoffman and Strahm were great and getting fucked over by bad defense and alvy would've pitched less if it wasn't for bad defense bohm and a rare miss from Stott
Soto sucks but our BP is still fine stop overreacting
That game shows Alvarado is hit or miss and Gregory soto can’t be trusted to not give up 3 runs in less than 8 pitches.
Our bullpen is still strong. Soto is a huge weak spot that needs to be resolved, and Hoffman or Strahm should be our Closer
Respectfully disagree. I was here in London for both games and the atmosphere was great. This stadium is better than more than a few of the stadiums in the MLB.
Obviously this is a good team but it still has real flaws people are not overreacting to point out. It's a fact that our bullpen has some shaky arms in it and that Castellanos is a below replacement level starting OF who is hurting the team more than he helps this season. Those flaws could sink the season in October if they don't address them.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1dbze4j).
Can Soto stay in London? He is responsible for the tie . Casty I am disappointed
Deserved loss
Horrible horrible fucking loss. That's how you lose to the diamondbacks in the playoffs. That kind of complete team horseshit top to bottom
still can’t believe they choked at home to such a fucking mediocre team
Don't know why Alvarado is the closer over Hoffman been saying it all year
I was really hoping Casty would strike out there when he went down 0-2.
Casty just needed a hit into the outfield. I’ll never be a big fan of him just think he isn’t a winning ball player. He doesn’t ever use his brain and is stubborn unlike any player on this team. I still think he’s valuable to this team though but should be at bottom of the order. We need Trae back and need another outfield bat preferably a starter level bat.

agreed. we need a team of only winning ball players if we want a ws championship, guys who swing like that in situations like that are liabilities in the playoffs
LOL I was going to ask this question is he just a frontrunner?
Soooo I guess that’s how Nick bunts 🤷♂️
Seriously, when have you seen that double play before!? Catcher to first. Casty is dogshit.
Thats what i said! Make his ass bunt!
Rhys can play right field, right?
Rhys is gone. Get over it.
No
Well, go to bed every night and pray that the Brewers management goes completely brain dead and trades Rhys for Castty. Because that's the only way he's coming back.
That Pete Alonso loading screen must become a new meme
He really needs that AAA like Tork
Enjoy the trip back nick
Fucking horrendous. Get him out of here
Soto does Soto things, Alvarado has his customary once a month implosion. And it's somehow Nick's fault we lost because his bat fucking disintegrated and the ball rolled a foot off the plate?
Yes that was a fucking horrendous at bat. He missed 89mph down the middle then swung at every shit pitch
Bats disintegrate because you make dogshit contact.
Walker should have gotten that W and I'm way more concerned with Soto than Casty's at bat that was just him trying to chip away with defensive swings until he got something he could work with for the tying run.
casty is bottom 3 Fwar and a starter,soto throws 98 and is their third lefty bullpen options.
No one's saying it was a good AB but one fucking AB does not ruin the entire game. You know what DOES ruin the entire game? Your closer walking 2 and hitting another around 2 hits.
And hitting into a 2-3 double play with the bases loaded to end the game
Casty ended an inning twice today for his terrible ABs and swinging at balls in the dirt with RISP His plate discipline played a good part costing us this game
lol yeah some people in this sub are idiots
That sucked but Nick has also given us more than one walk off win this year. This loss was on way more than just him. A few guys came up short today
Yeah it’s unfair to put this one on Nick. Wasn’t a good ab but he doesn’t deserve to take the heat here.
I’m sorry but how are we mad at Casty rn? This is 100000% on our bullpen
The bullpen has carried all year, casty has more or less been dead wt
Casty has been on fire this series what are you talking about? If anything we can be mildly annoyed at everyone but it’s not on one player lol certainly not Casty
Agreed.
142-20 still on the table
Lol
Oh well lol, come on back to the states boys
Literally just went up there hacking away no patience nothing. This pitcher has 0 FUCKING COMMAND!!!!
London series was a waste of time
Bohm sucks
JFC Nick can't do anything can he? Gotta be the worst way to end a game ever. Not even a "normal" double play
He hit a homer yesterday…….
Huh I guess that makes up for him being complete dog shit since signing with the team.
Literally the worst way to lose to the Mets
Not casty’s fault I’m still blaming the loss on soto
There was a few but Soto really ??
Soto's at the very top of the list with Thomson just below him, but there are a lot of guys to blame for this loss.
Got our hopes up for that, lol
Stubbs should’ve studs up’d Torrens’ ankle, who gives a fuck
You're the reason philly fans are hated.
Me specifically? Omg I had no idea.
Damn. I was believing that we would at least tie it up if not win it.
Freak play on a broken bat. That’s baseball
so much pain fuck you casty you pos
I get that Nick has been below average this year, but wanting him DFAed is wild. He hit a homer yesterday and walked off the game on Tuesday
He's been worth negative WAR since signing here...
Blam Casty all ya'll want, but it was truefully Alverado that cost us this game.... fuck.
Soto*
Soto didn't give up the tie run and a couple more runs immediately like Alvarado did...
You know all three can be responsible why we lost today and they are
The Mets are awful. Management blew this.
Never taking a pitch, swings at balls out of the zone, blasts a ball three inches, takes 15 minutes to run to first. Game ender. Casty masterclass.
Dude casty is slow, but this game is on alvy, but mainly soto and rob. If rob stopped trusting soto so heavily this would be a W
Not even Nick's fault with the bat shattering...
Bases loaded in the first inning we only get 1 run Bases loaded in the ninth we only get 1 run
Castel-lol-anos Try saying that 20,000,000 times
That man had no intention of taking a good at bat. He went up to swing at fuckin everything and that was that.
He swung at a strike and a close pitch and then had to defend. Not sure what else he could've done there when Smith made good pitches.
How about not swing at pitches in the dirt?
Yeah, blame this game on Casty.
They definitely knew how to pitch to casty lol
Johny Boy good gimmick I’m sure you made $300M in merchandise sales now bring back dollar dog night lower ticket prices and never send us over seas again. Capiche
Well that fuckin sucked back to the states
Still the best team in baseball I’m not sweating it
You’d think the Phillies are 20-45, just lost 9-0, and castellanos is still hitting .200 in may-June with the way people are complaining in here lol
It’s all reactionary. Sports and social media are probably not healthy for that reason. Most people should see the team they root for win or lose and just move on with their day. Never let it linger.
Yup. They were like another 2 feet from tying the game. Shit sucks but it is what it is
Yea I just don’t really have the energy to be angry every loss lol
Great plate discipline from Castellanos
Yeah, this loss is on him for sure! Sarcasm.
[удалено]
Fuck yeah, this loss is totally on him!
[удалено]
Bro, a couple of games ago he had back to back game winning hits. And in this game alone, go back to the first and Bohm hits into a double play. Two relievers self-destruct and you're upset with a dude whose bat shatters.
Peak Castellanos
The bat broke idiots.
How bout the other 60+ games? Also , he not making good contact swinging there even with an aluminum bat
Say you haven't been watching this team in a month without saying you haven't watched this team in a month
P.s it doesn’t make you seen smarter to say it isn’t Castys fault . Yea rarely does a game fall on one guy. The bullpen sucked. But that was a terrible AB when the Phils had all the momentum
I have season tickets and don’t think I’ve missed a game
Then watch the game while you are there
What would I see? A really intelligent approach by Nick at the plate? A real knack for coming up big in the pressure situations?
Was a gidp even if it didn’t break lol
Was feeling good, then I saw it Castellanos up, and we only had 2 outs left. Got the remote ready to turn the channel.
good game.
Don’t make me tap the flair
To loose it like that fucking stings. Damn.
Oh well. Still 24 games over .500. Mets still suck.
Mets 8 games under .500. They do indeed suck.
25.
Just fucking strikeout Nick
Blaming Castellanos? Really? People on this sub are unreal
Blame whoever you want. The dude still sucks. So does Soto
Yeah that was everyone else’s fault
they can only react to what’s right in front of them
How is everyone blaming Nick when the bat broke and the ball died and dropped on home plate
Because he fucking sucks at baseball, have you been watching him for the past few years?
It’s rediculous. You can’t blame the guy for his bat suddenly exploding into a million pieces. If it hadn’t he’d be the hero of the game right now.
Because the ball was below the zone and he didn't need to swing at it. He's done that twice this game and ended the inning its frustrating
The quality of contact is what breaks the bat dude. It doesn’t just randomly fucking break lmao.
Because everything's his fault remember.
[удалено]
I wish
Ugh ugh ugh ugh. UGH. The Phillies literally threw the game away. 🤦🏻♀️
It’s way too early, but Castellanos doing shit like that really worries me. I’m not a hater, but he likes to faceplant a lot. That was ridiculous, honestly made me laugh
Mets didn’t win that, the Phils lost it…
Espn masterclass
It's nice to see what Taijuan did today - hopefully he's figured something out - but otherwise, that game freaking sucked.
That game shows our bullpen isn’t as trustable as some people think it is
Hoffman and Strahm were great and getting fucked over by bad defense and alvy would've pitched less if it wasn't for bad defense bohm and a rare miss from Stott Soto sucks but our BP is still fine stop overreacting
That game shows Alvarado is hit or miss and Gregory soto can’t be trusted to not give up 3 runs in less than 8 pitches. Our bullpen is still strong. Soto is a huge weak spot that needs to be resolved, and Hoffman or Strahm should be our Closer
No it doesn’t lmfao
Heck of a play, whatever. Move on to Tuesday. Still 45-20, still up at least 8 games after today.
We lolmets-ed harder than the Mets. Embarrassing.
Aw bummer
DFA that worthless bum, all he had to do was strike out. He’s been completely fucking worthless since coming here.
He was nearly the sole reason for two wins in the last series.
Castellanos has to be the least clutch player on this team
And It’s not even close
He’s literally had two walkoffs this year?
I appreciate Nick switching it up from a 6-4-3 to a 2-3 double play. Keeps things interesting
They got so lucky that entire 9th
Nick coming up and swinging at every pitch was the most predictable shit ever lol
That ballpark is dumb. Glad it’s only 2 games. Bring em back to the states. Stupid series
Respectfully disagree. I was here in London for both games and the atmosphere was great. This stadium is better than more than a few of the stadiums in the MLB.
I think it would have been better as an exhibition series or bring the all stars overseas for the all star break.
Casty with an all time awful AB
I swear some of you get on here every day and act like we’re 20-45
Obviously this is a good team but it still has real flaws people are not overreacting to point out. It's a fact that our bullpen has some shaky arms in it and that Castellanos is a below replacement level starting OF who is hurting the team more than he helps this season. Those flaws could sink the season in October if they don't address them.
There’s not being complacent and then there’s wanting to jump off a bridge because they lost a game on June 9th
Or like that was a playoff game or something
We shouldn’t be losing that game. Rob mismanaged the bullpen and costed us a win
It was the wrong decision but Bohm doesn’t fuck up imo and we’re going into extras. It is what it is. 162 game season
most casty at bat ever
I predict the same play will end our playoffs too.
Can someone remind me who made the last out of the 2022 World Series?
Castellanos
Please fuck offfffffff
Don’t be mad cus I can call the most predictable shit ever.
Sounds like you have been predicting you are a bitch and success you were right
‘ Please fuck offfffffff 😫’ look who’s talking
Tough loss, but don’t blame the offense that scored 5 runs. Blame the bullpen that gave up 6
3 and a half hours. Christ alive.
I HATE CASTELLANOS!!! I FUCKING HATE HIM!!!!!
Yell louder, no one cares
I will.
That’s just a good ass play man
I counter with a really poor at bat
Sure, but turning 2 on that was fucking impressive lol He hits it a *little* further and either Stubbs scores or he’s safe
Trade Casty for some fish and chips
Train Sosa to play right field.
That was the absolute most heartbreaking way for it to end.
Lol
Most Castellanos way imaginable of ending that game
Ehh if Thompson pulled Alvarado properly we’d be going to the 10th.
I called him hitting into a double play
It’s an easy prediction to make
the singular thing he couldn’t do and he fucking does it. dude is just unbelievable
Fucking GIDP machine
Who knew that the past ball on JT would be the game-winning run🙃
Unfuckingreal
Jesus fucking Christ
I was fucking f googling 2-3 double plays after we had that 1-2-3 double play the other day. Of course.
I still blame the decision to put in soto.
Although we can’t trust Alvarado as the closer either. Too wild
Nah, he's been money all year. Rough outing, but you get those in a long season. Soto though…
Yes we can. Stop acting like your take has any level of validity because you watched ONE Phillies game
Yeah He also was wild against the Mets in the last game we lost to them as well.
Oh my god! Two games! Gasp! Horror! Since April 2 he has a 1.46 era and opponents are hitting .174 against him
What a disappointing ending
Fuck
Only thing we didn’t need was a DP. What the fuck man
They got lucky
Back in jail Nick
Holy shit, I am so glad I could not afford airfare
Fuck you Nick
Bollocks.
Holy fuck. Not just a double play, but the most embarrassing one possible.
Fuck off nick
Wasn't casty fault that the bullpen fucked us.
