Other Sports: Philadelphia Phillies: The Road To .500 Continues Into Red October (2024 Edition)

Is it just me or does a disproportionate amount of Casty endorsements come from women?

I think traditionalist based Phillies fans have a more favorable outlook him than analytical based too. I work with a guy who thought I was crazy when I said he sucks in the field. He cited the lack of errors as a stat of proof for this.

Anyone advocating for Nick clearly does not watch much of the regular season. He's a platoon player that gives great quotes.

Not one thing in that thread is as bad as “We don’t want a bye.” Nothing approaches it. Even Harper doesn’t give you as much WS probability as skipping one series. It’s 10-30% Pennant Odds for free.

No, I’m never letting this go. It’s even more ridiculous than the future picks aren’t devalued by definition discussion and I really thought that was the bottom.

Is it more ridiculous than Boston Scott > CMC?

Imagine a Castellanos/Bryzgalov podcast. I'd tune in.

At the risk of sounding sexist,

Chicks love Casty.

I know this because the STH in the seats behind mine screams for him every time he exists and “won’t take any Casty slander.”

I can confirm this

The Castellanos discussion is pretty easily summed up by saying "that money is better spent elsewhere". The pocketbooks run deep, but if you can replace that money than you have to. Dude just isn't worth the money

And by elsewhere I mean Juan Soto.

My wifes fav

I wanted Nick gone after 2022, nothing has changed and it never will. Only two more years...

 

[Rebels57]

Yeah if I have to sacrifice Castellanos to sign Soto, that's obviously an extremely easy decision.

There's certainly lower budget teams that if the Phillies turned Castellanos into a 2/$25m would be interested. He's a little bit of a 'name' for their fans, veteran presence and that would be $12.5m they pay him the next two years so it's a short-term thing.

For the Phillies it saves them $12.5m the next two years and they eat $15m total.

 

[Rebels57]

If we can't land Soto, I hope we pivot to either Teoscar, Santander, or the trade market.

Did they also stand on your seats before the game and take selfies and shout about their “baby boys”?
