MLB Fans Sound off on Nick Castellanos and Phillies Reporter's Heated Exchange

Rob GoldbergJul 24, 2022

There was mixed reaction on social media after Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos lost his cool with a reporter following Saturday's game.

After NBC Sports' Jim Salisbury asked whether he could hear the boos from the crowd, Castellanos called it a "stupid question."

While some defended the veteran reporter, others sided with Castellanos:

Castellanos signed with Philadelphia this past offseason on a five-year, $100 million deal, but he has fallen well short of expectations through the first half of 2022.

The 30-year-old entered Sunday with a .245 average and eight home runs in 93 games. His. .657 OPS is well short of last year's mark of .939 when he earned an All-Star selection and some MVP votes.

It seems the frustration is starting to boil over for the player, media and fans.
