The idea sounds a bit silly when presented, but Nick Castellanos, who made another one of his brilliant sliding catches that he has perfected this postseason on the first pitch of Game 3, was asked about the idea of being sad that this Phillies postseason run is coming to an end.
The ride is so glorious that almost nobody is thinking about how it will be over by Sunday at the latest.
Castellanos thought about it for a moment and said the obvious.
“Well, I want it to end in the next two games.”
He could have ended it there, but he brought up something interesting that’s worth putting in to greater context.
