Rollins is supposed to be the veteran leader of this team, and he’s the reigning NL MVP. Unfortunately for everyone, Jimmy has done a 180. Plainly said, he’s running on MVP fumes from last year, and it’s simply unacceptable.
So what does J-Roll do for an encore? He rips the fans. Maybe in his mind he wasn’t insulting them, but he clearly did. It was a poor choice of words for Rollins, and considering the season he’s having, he should just shut up. Being MVP doesn’t make you immune for life.
Ironically, the fans have been nothing but tolerant of him up to this point. The chanted "MVP-MVP" down the stretch last season for him, and they haven’t really booed him this year prior to his “front-runner” comment.
So what prompted him to even say such a thing? Only Jimmy can answer that, but as long as he hits, I don’t care what he says. But he’s not hitting, he’s broken simple team rules, and he’s mouthing off, not a good combo in my book, and I’m certainly not going to tolerate it.
Incidentally, Jimmy is 3-33 since making his comments. Way to go J-Hole!
Trade Deadline
Recap
Heading into July, the Phillies were dealing with a struggling rotation, as Adam Eaton was pitching like Adam Eaton, and Brett Myers was pitching like Adam Eaton. During this time, the Cleveland Indians had fallen so far off the pace in the AL Central that they decided to officially put the reigning AL Cy Young CC Sabathia on the trading block.
Sabathia, who will be a free agent at the end of the season, was rumored to be going to a variety of teams, including the Phillies.
