Nick Castellanos Calmly Asks Home Plate Umpire to 'F-ing Speak Up, Brother'

The Boston Red Sox beat the Philadelphia Phillies 8-6 at Fenway Park on Wednesday night. To the surprise of no one, something interesting happened in the game and it had to do with Nick Castellanos. Over the weekend he brought his particular brand of notability to London and made a British play-by-play announcer famous when he grounded into a game-ending 2-3 double-play against the Mets.

Back in the states, Castellanos went hitless on Tuesday, but bounced back going 2-for-4 against the Sox on Wednesday. During the top of the 7th inning he took too much time getting to the plate and was called for a pitch timer violation and given an 0-1 count. That's when Castellanos had a word with the umpire and let him know how things work around here.
