The Nick Castellanos Walkoff Syncing Up Perfectly With This Harry Kalas Call Is Proof That The Phillies Are In For Something Special This October
Time is a flat circle.
It was October 6th. The Phillies were tied in the bottom of the 9th inning against a division opponent in the playoffs. They had a runner on 2nd. A 1-2 count with a righty at the plate. Just when the Phillies needed it the most, he delivered with a shot down the left field line to drive in the winning run.
No. We're not talking about last night. We're talking Kim Batiste in 1993 in game 1 of the NLCS against the Braves.
Exactly 31 years later to the day, the exact same scenario plays out for the Phillies. October 6th. Tied in the bottom of the 9th. The 1-2 pitch. Nick Castellanos brings Turner home from 2nd, and the Phillies come away with a massive postseason walk-off win.
Now sure, if we're going strictly off of the Phillies recreating that 1993 run then you could expect this team to have another heart crushing defeat in the World Series. But what if this postseason run is all about recreating the most magical Harry Kalas calls of all time? You can expect an 0-2 count in the top of the 9th for the Philadelphia Phillies to become 2024 World Champions of baseball.
And while we're on the topic of incredible edits of the Castellanos walk-off, this video deserves to win at least 3 Emmy awards.
One. Two. Three. Four. FIVE walk-off's this year. That has to be pretty damn close to the top of a single season record. We might have a new BDN in town.
