Transcript

00:00Phillies beat the Marlins 5-2. They win their fifth straight.

00:04You want to ring the bell? I'll ring it. Why not?

00:07With Max Kepler on NBC Sports Philadelphia.

00:10And a high fly ball to deep right field.

00:13Going back is Sanchez into the second deck.

00:18A moonshot for Max Kepler.

00:22It's his ninth home run of the year and the Phillies are back on top.

00:26What was that outrageous price? Was that 680?

00:29It was 680. Plus 680 for Max Kepler last night.

00:34That's crazy. But I still like the next one better because it involves cognac.

00:40Well, before I get there, one thing about the Phillies that I saw come across.

00:44Rob Thompson told reporters tonight before the game in Miami that Nick Castellanos is not going to play tonight

00:52because of an inappropriate comment he made when Thompson took him out of the game last night

00:58in the eighth inning for defensive purposes.

01:00Now, Castellanos had started 236 straight games.

01:05It's the second longest active streak in the majors.

01:07The longest streak by a Phillies player since Pete Rose over 40 years ago.

01:12Thompson sends him to the pint tonight because he said something to him when he came out of the game last night.

01:17How about that?

01:18Well, I think that's the beginning of the end of Nick Castellanos in Philadelphia.

01:24Philadelphia. This is Devers part two.

01:27You start talking Shaq to your manager like he doesn't know what he's doing, and that's the beginning.

01:34There's the splinter right there.

01:36That'll be the end because you know what'll happen.

01:38Now, he's benched tonight.

01:40There goes his streak, and I guarantee you who he's going to blame for that.

01:44He's going to blame the manager, Thompson, and he's going to blame the front office

01:50that they were all in cahoots on it together and screwed him, so now you can just smell it coming.

01:56Smell it. It's in the air.

01:57He's going to demand a trade at some point in the coming weeks.

02:00Not happy in Philly anymore.

02:02I mean, remember this guy with his kid behind the home plate sitting in the seats in the first row?

02:07He loves Philly. Loves his wife and kids.

02:10The greatest thing.

02:11Say something smart to your manager.

02:13Get benched, and let's see how the relationship goes from here.

02:16I say it sours like sweet and sour at the Chinese restaurant.

02:22That's the end of that. Watch.

02:23Yeah, I would say we'll see how that turns out,

02:26but I would gather it's not going to turn out well down the road between the two of them.

02:32You mentioned another bell ring. Why not?

02:35Rockies and the Nationals last night.

02:37Now, Hunter Goodman hit a homer in the top of the ninth to tie the game at four for the Rockies.

02:42A couple of batters later, forget the cognac, get me the moniac on Rockies TV.

02:49One, two, and this ball is walloped to deep right field, and it is gone!

02:57Two-run, home run, Mickey Moniac!

03:00And the Rockies take a 6-4 ninth inning lead in Washington.

03:05Ding, ding. And here's the other thing.

03:09The Nats are falling apart, and they're going to blame Davey Martinez.

03:14The players have already decided they hate him.

03:18So we talked about this yesterday.

03:19This guy, I mean, it is the beginning and the end for him in D.C.

03:23This is the beginning and the end.

03:24From this point forward, watch what happens to Martinez.

03:28Like, now they're losing to the Rockies.

03:31What have they lost now? Eight, nine in a row?

03:33I mean, it's just a nine-in-a-row disaster.

03:36It's a disaster.

03:37Nine in a row, and the players have quit on it.

03:38They've quit on it.

03:39And again, they're not losing these games to the Dodgers and the Mets.

03:45You know, the Mets was the beginning of the streak.

03:46Like, they got swept by the Marlins at home this weekend.

03:50They lost to the Rockies last night.

03:52Like, you're talking two of the four worst teams in baseball.

03:56You're losing games, too.

03:57Not a good scene for Washington.
