00:00I don't understand it. Now Nick Castellanos has went from being public enemy number one, you suck, get out of
00:06here, to, oh, the Phillies are the villain in all this. I don't get it.
00:10It's amazing. The Phillies made accommodations for this guy. They clearly overpaid for four years and are going to pay
00:15$20 million not to play for them this year.
00:17And they are somehow the villains in this story. They have somehow become the problem in this.
00:21Because they gave Castellanos, the great irony in Castellanos' letter is when he says that he thinks Thompson gives too
00:28much slack in some areas and in other areas he's too strict.
00:31Because they gave so much slack to a guy that quite clearly at the end of games should not have
00:36been in right field because you had better options on the roster.
00:38And you weren't able to use those better options in your roster because you're afraid of him going berserk like
00:42he did in Miami being replaced for defense late in that game.
00:45On top of that, when he wasn't hitting well, what did we hear? Oh, he just wants to play 162.
00:49We're going to put him out there.
00:50He was not the best option on your team to be playing every single day.
00:53Taking a day off and actually getting a chance to reset would have been a good thing.
00:56But, oh, we want to play him 162. Do you think they really want to play him 162?
00:59Or were they afraid they were going to lose him for the rest of the season because he was going
01:02to throw a tantrum like he did in Miami when they replaced him for defense?
01:07I mean, this is the issue here. And the reason why this report comes out right now, that's like, Sean,
01:12what you said is what a lot of people are saying.
01:14Why right now? The Philadelphia Phillies are going to pay a right-handed bat who is an outfielder $20 million.
01:20Not to play for them. The question is why. And the answer is for all this laundry list of reasons.
01:50What do you think they want to play? And the answer is for all this laundry list of reasons.
01:55What do you think they're going to play a right-handed bat?
02:04It might be a little, maybe I can say, but I think they've been in my room for life.
