00:00But Nick Castellanos, I mean, this situation has been botched from the beginning.
00:06So it dates all the way back to last year when they decided they were going to make a defensive substitution.
00:14Down in Miami, against the Marlins, Rob Thompson goes to make the defensive substitution.
00:21And Nick Castellanos said something to Rob that got him benched the next game.
00:26Ended his Ironman streak of all those consecutive games.
00:30The exact quote in Matt Gelb's article at the time.
00:33Rob Thompson benched Castellanos for, quote, an inappropriate comment.
00:38The dugout incident, numerous team sources said, left players and coaches alike disgusted.
00:45And I am just as disgusted that my man Ricky Batalico hasn't been able to figure out what Castellanos said.
00:52The people need to know.
00:54What the hell did this guy say that would leave grown men?
00:58Grown men disgusted.
01:01I mean, Ricky, you've been in dugouts.
01:02There's a lot of bad things said.
01:04What could he have said to Rob that left men disgusted?
01:08It had to be absolutely personal.
01:11But they said it disgusted everybody.
01:12So, I mean, you've got to understand, these players on this team love Rob Thompson.
01:18I mean, they are, you know what, father figure type thing.
01:21He's the guy that will stand behind them all the time.
01:24And then to get that from one of your own teammates, I think something must have been, it must have been number one vulgar.
01:30I mean, there's no doubt about it.
01:32And it must have been extremely personal.
01:35So, I mean, that is awful.
01:37It is.
01:37Because when you look at it now, we are now in February 10th right now.
01:42And you're talking about a guy who will not play for the Philadelphia Phillies.
01:48Well, that's why.
01:49There's a reason deeper than just it's Nick Castellanos.
01:51You're talking about a guy who will not play for the Philadelphia Phillies.
