Substitutes Phillies Nick Castellanos got into a fight with a reporter after he was booed off the court by Philadelphia fans after another disappointing performance.
With a 1-1 draw at the end of the eighth inning and a lead in the third half, Castellanos took the lead and the Phillies were down 6-2 in extra innings. Boobs rose from the stands as the $20 million a year outfielder left the pitch.
After the match, a reporter at the club asked Castellanos if he heard the whistle. The batter clearly did not like the wording of the question, the question itself, or both. Because he sarcastically replied to the reporter, “I’ve lost my hearing,” and it was a “stupid question.”

But NBC Sports Philadelphia correspondent Jim Salisbury ignored Castellanos’ sarcastic response to the rhetorical question. Instead, Salisbury insisted that this was not a silly question and that Castellanos should be “ready to answer”. Salisbury seemed to emphasize this by pointing his finger at Castellanos.
Feeling the growing tension and awkwardness of the moment, a member of the Phillies’ media relations team stepped in between the actor and reporter and cut the interview short.

After all, is the question stupid? Yes. It’s not nonsense. The Castellanos have signed a 5-year $100 million deal in Philadelphia after hitting .309 last year and a modest .245 in 83 games this year. So she should answer questions about him and any fan reactions to it.
But it’s a silly and offensive starter question to ask a player famous for his temper if he’s ever heard a boo in the stadium or on television that everyone can clearly hear. It is better to ask him about his thoughts and reactions. inside He booed instead of asking if he heard.
A previous version of this article stated that Castellanos played for the Reds. It was actually his first year with the Philadelphia Phillies.
