269 | Who Nick Castellanos Picked For MVP | Chris Rose Rotation

[@seven_curses]

Time to change the batteries on the fire alarms Nick 😂

[@TonyDeLotell]

HOW DOES THAT NOT BOTHER PEOPLE ENOUGH TO IMMEDIATELY CHANGE THE BATTERY???

[@stonezybonezy]

$20M a year and still can’t change a damn battery lmaooo

[@chubburt]

The smoke alarm batteries make sense

[@joetoscano6376]

it would 100% be Nick

[@scottcampbell9515]

Castellanos roasting the Rays was great. I miss him in Cincinnati.

[@josephmrtn]

man rosey, I leave all of your interviews a much bigger fan of everyone you talk to. all of these dudes stay on my fan radar afterwards. another great one in the books 🙏🏻

[@mavensbaseball]

Damn, you never hear an active player talk so genuinely.

[@briangriffin391]

Nick is a pure delight to root for because of his candid and often philosophical takes. There can be a lot of hate in fandom, but seriously a guy like Nick is just a personality you want to cheer for.

[@goldmans95]

never known much about castellanos and tried to hate him last year as he was on the phills. I have so much more respect for this guy and will watch him differently.

[@pandalino1018]

Great interview as always Chris, do you think we could add in a quick recap after the interview of you going over a few thoughts and comments about the interview that happened. Maybe can even get rob in there to discuss with you. I think it would be cool to get your guys full thoughts on the conversation

[@gfcpastor]

Wow, Braves fan here. I just did a 180 on my perspective of Nick Castellanos. That interview was unlike any other I’ve ever seen. Happy for any success that guy has.

[@TheTEN24]

Nick is a good dude and I always respect his honesty in interviews. Pretty cool hearing him hype up Iglesias impact last year cause he really changed that locker room.

[@bobeitronics]

I think Castellanos is genuinely one of the most sincere players out there. He truly doesn't care about PR or his reputation, he just genuinely says what he believes and I respect that.

[@garywordman]

"Wise philosopher Nick Castellanos, on his trip to Japan, with a samurai sword, once told me, 'Don't use breadcrumbs to lead me off a cliff." Chris Rose Great interview.

[@jordancarson188]

Im a phillies fan that isnt from or live in Philly. But man, I love Castellanos. What a dude

[@troutrunnerjh6535]

I miss him on the Tigers he was and still is one of my favorite players and good fathers out there

[@vallo105]

Nick Castellanos is one of the great personalities in baseball

[@DougMayer]

Jose Iglesias for MVV - most valuable vibes

[@edomarpez1840]

Mad respect to Nick, now even more than before and I'm not a Phillies fan

[@scootmin6357]

Man, he really resents the city of Philadelphia

[@Mpatterson409]

Cause he knows he’s getting traded soon.

[@gfcpastor]

For good reason. Those fans are *the worst*

[@JQuiles121]

As someone who grew up a die hard Marlins fan in Miami, Nick couldn’t have said it any better 💯

[@Jasonwfd]

Castellanos is so fascinating. Great interview.

[@slitherdown8556]

Excellent conversation!

[@grahammarshall1199]

This was awesome

[@pheuphoric37]

I've grown to really like Nick over the years. Like Rosie said, he's become a sort of aproachable philosopher in his own right. Stands on his business and is his own man. Respect from a Mets fan

[@RabbiKrieg]

Man, I'm not a philly fan, but I think I like Castellanos, he's an interesting cat, and I like that he takes time to think about and consider his responses. Also the don't lead me off a cliff with breadcrumbs, might be my second favorite phrase after "Don't piss on my boots and tell me it's raining."

[@jimmytease6529]

Anybody else start walking around their own house checking fire extinguishers?

[@asdfaeou]

I utterly adore Nicky C. It's so amazing for the game of Baseball that there was someone to pick up where Votto left off as Baseball's thinker. Just so real and honest, and you can see he genuinely takes time to think about what he's being asked before he answers.

[@andrewfain2665]

Eh, not so sure about the baseballs thinker moniker for him. Jose Iglesias league MVP?? Whether it’s hyperbole or not, seems more like a jock, vibes over numbers type guy. Brent rooker is WAY more deserving of the thinker tag.

[@Yung_Wooford]

@@andrewfain2665Nick for NL rooker for AL

[@danielsolano4606]

Great dude

[@martinjeff94]

I would love to hear a Joe Rogan Nick Castellanos interview

[@gwaptiva]

Castellanos (or Rose) needs to change the battery in their smoke alarm! It's just sent me running around the house trying to find which one of mine beeping; turns out it's over in Florida

[@Wermode]

Honesty has an edge. We miss you on the Cubs, Nick.

[@galap0g0sisland]

CHRIS ROSE PLEASE BE MY FATHER

[@Fryed_Bryce]

I love you, coach!

[@terrifeltey5954]

Interesting interview as always with Nick. Been a huge fan since he started with Detroit. His comments about iglesias being mvp was interesting. When I thought about it. Made 100% sense. And I think I agree with him, not taking anything from ohtani who is definately mvp worthy. But I don’t think one persons stats count as much as the ability to pull players together and with that a city. And that Iglesias definately did

[@everett-tnredsfan]

As a Reds fan I miss Castellanos in the lineup.

[@dtwong-w3y]

There is something in the Philly water. They have that Eagles fan (disgrace) and Castellanos. Iglesias as MVP?! The sad thing is he actually believes it. 😂🤣

[@sampilcher7196]

I honestly love Nick’s take on why Iglesias was MVP to him

[@felixfors9340]

Former teammates. Washed take

[@broman74dude95]

Really? Tell me alot

[@Fryed_Bryce]

Castellanos continues to rule. Crazy you didn't bring up his awkward broadcasting home runs...as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos

[@craigalbuck4869]

Best interview of Casty -- you can teach reporters how to talk to him Treat him like a person, have logical questions, and you'll get good answers from him. Great interview! I was hoping for some clubhouse stories but I guess he keeps them to himself.

[@juniorthepitcher]

45:13 Jose Ingelsias did something to the Mets that cannot be replicated or measured. I like this take

[@nunzi83]

To be fair to baseball and the contracts… compared to other sports baseball is by far longer. More traveling etc. baseball is at least 8 months a year. Spring training. 162 game season with non stop traveling. The. Another month of playoffs. I’m not saying players don’t get paid a ridiculous amount of money but it’s hard to compare a baseball season to football or any other sport. Also. Large majority of players only play a few years in the MLB and don’t get paid that much.

[@kongcakes0414]

Nice

[@Throdlband]

Nick should go on Joe Rogan. Kinda sounds like he doesn't like Philly.

[@geekimusprime]

Grimace was the real MVP

[@Mpatterson409]

As a Phillies fan, trade this man ASAP.

[@coyote5point0]

Yep. Time for him to go

[@大山-c1n]

Please trade him to NL west so dodgers can kill his chance of WS.

[@Throdlband]

Why?

[@allstarr9tc]

85 games.. stop it.

[@Jbergrion]

I didn’t realize Nick was black. Dem ceiling birds be chirping

[@大山-c1n]

Gay smile

[@ra7enclaw870]

Mets won 61% of the games jose played - Dodgers won 60% of games shohei played

[@felixfors9340]

270 at bats vs 636 at bats . Ah no.

[@大山-c1n]

@@felixfors9340they’re really bad at stats.

[@refusetolose05]

Chirp

[@danielsolano4606]

I hope no one tries to get on him for the Philly comments. Maybe try to shed that reputation your fans have cultivated so players don't hem and haw like this. Intensity is okay, but y'all take it way too far.

[@lad14ever]

How can Iglesias be the MVP of the league when he wasn’t the MVP on his own team cause Lindor was clearly the Mets MVP and let’s not talk about Othani the first time in history only player ever to have a 50-50 season

[@sampilcher7196]

He’s giving his opinion and told exactly why he thought that😂

[@felixfors9340]

@@sampilcher7196 comments don’t watch this NUGU channel

[@Dan-tt8sn]

Because the team was doomed and had a losing record before Iglesias came. And he also brought good vibes and is a Latin pop star. lol.

[@beardown6574]

Nick has no time for smoke alarm batteries and rational MVP thoughts lol. Love casty but nah dog lol

[@nunzi83]

Nick isn’t that far off when speaking about Jose Iglesias. Quick numbers. If you averaged out Iglesias stats over a full season he hwould have a 7 WAR. But nick is talking truth. Dodgers were bound for WS title without Ohtani. Ohtani didn’t play that well 8. Postseason anyway. Iglesias literally turned an entire franchise around. I’m not saying Iglesias should of won the MVP and Ohtani isn’t deserving but Iglesias was beyond unbelievable for the Mets. I like how nick said what he said.

[@大山-c1n]

Ohtani has highest Winning Probability Added stats in all of MLB. And you can’t stretch out for longer bc that’s not how it works. Without Ohtani dodgers didn’t make it to WS. NLDS game1, NLCS OPS 1.200, highest WAR 9.1 in NL.

[@Lamppostout]

Using on pace average to defend your nonsensical take already tells me you don’t know baseball.

[@nunzi83]

@ you obviously didn’t read my full comment. I said I liked what Nick was saying. Said I don’t think Jose should of won. Didn’t say Ohtani wasn’t deserving. Ppl use on pace numbers all the time in baseball. Shortened seasons due to amount of games played or player injuries. The “what if convo” besides being fun is used often and in many scenarios

[@PMorinaga]

any dope can say whatever.... hey bro stick to playing on a team that was elimated and who the hell cares about your IGnorant opinion

[@eemoreau]

Let’s Go Mets! Sign up The Polar Bear 🐻‍❄️ already! 2025, on the way, already!

[@karlapants]

Mets are just a better team than the Phillies….

[@BDizDaBest]

Doesn't seem like Castellanos will be invited back on this show too often. He couldn't be bothered to wear a proper shirt or use adequate background lighting. He also had several long awkward pauses before starting his answers to Chris's questions.

[@RothsLocks]

He’s a ball player not a podcaster

[@sampilcher7196]

He’s thinking about what he wants to say.. I know it’s uncommon now but some people still do it

[@DougMayer]

Huh? Rosie loves talking to him, he's been hyping up this interview for a while.

[@RealJeffTidwell]

That’s what you got out of this? I loved it.

[@TonyDeLotell]

This comment made me dumber.
