Nick Castellanos is having a no good, very bad time with the Philadelphia Phillies right now.
Since coming out of the All-Star break, the Phillies have lost three straight against the Chicago Cubs, with Philadelphia going 3-7 overall in their last 10 games. Castellanos, in particular, hasn’t had as much of a factor in the batter’s box as many hoped either. In his last 270 plate appearances, Castellanos has a .218 batting average and just three home runs, quite a poor showing considering the outfielder was the Phillies’ No. 3 hitter for much of the season.
So it’s no surprise that Castellanos got testy with NBC Sports Philadelphia reporter Jim Salisbury when asked if the outfielder heard the boos from fans following Saturday’s 6-2 loss.
