The credentialed media will stop at nothing to create their own Nick Castellanos narratives
Last night was a perfect example of just how low the credentialed baseball media will stoop. These creeps will do anything possible to get a reaction out of Nick Castellanos.
They’ve got their narrative, they’ve got their marching orders, and they’ll twist whatever they can into clickbait garbage about his playing time. It’s disgusting and to make matters worse, it’s not even a story that anyone actually cares about.

Regular fans aren’t sitting around wringing their hands over whether Nick Castellanos starts every single night. Everybody already knows the deal. The guy started what, 200 straight games in right field? Now he’s in a platoon.
Of course he isn’t thrilled about it. No professional athlete would be. That doesn’t need to be spelled out in some half-baked think piece. It’s common sense. Yet, the beat writers are treating it like they just uncovered Watergate.
Instead, we get this trash:
“Nick Castellanos wants to control the narrative…”
Does he really? Is that what Nick Castellanos is doing or is he respectfully trying to just do his job, make the most of every opportunity, and not play into the narratives that the credentialed media are desperately trying to create about him?
Scott Franzke and Ruben Amaro Jr are doing everything possible to bait him.
Someone asked Nick Castellanos if he “understands” the platoon LOL
I mean seriously, what the fuck is going on here?
Give me a break. Nick Castellanos isn’t trying to control the narrative. He’s trying to avoid it, and rightfully so. The only people creating the narrative are the media. They poke, they prod, they try to bait him into saying something they can slap into a headline and when he doesn’t play their game, they act like he’s being difficult.
It’s embarrassing.
The Phillies are in the middle of a fight for home-field advantage, Castellanos just reached a career milestone, and instead of celebrating that, the media’s running with their little soap opera subplot.
Have some dignity. Nick Castellanos came off the bench and went 2-for-3 with a homer, three RBIs, and a run scored.
The Nick Castellanos Clutch Up
It was career number 250.
That’s a big milestone and it came in a game the Phillies won.
The Brewers lost, which means the Phils are now just two games back of Milwaukee for the top seed in the National League with only eight games left in the regular season.
That’s the story. That’s what fans care about.
The Only Clip That Matters
Nick Castellanos will clutch up in October.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Shoutout Jess Castellanos.
