I posted why...u don't agree?

I'm sure they would, but that being said, his #s w/RISP and since May 1st overall are not good.

The same can probably be said for many Superstars in the game right now.

Besides, if he knocks himself in, who cares if anyone is on base?

For me, I look at Rollins differently than I do Utley...I think Rollins' season last year was an aberation, but I think Utley should be hitting like he did last year (.332)...btw, he hit .304 w/RISP last year and .362 w/RISP + 2 outs last year.

Yea, it does seem like offensive #s are down this season.

If you want to call out a Philly, Rollins, the defending MVP would be a great target that i would have no problem with. If you want to talk about lack of offense, how about starting with the MVP who sets the table. He has been brutal this year (IMO).

No doubt, and to make it worse, it seems his attitude is all "me, me, me" this year...like I said, last year was an aberation for him IMO so I didn't expect anything close this year. He is the #1 reason though that this offense is down this year as compared to last year.

It wasn't just last year. His last 2 years were very solid and his average the last 4 years was around .280-.290. His numbers are WAY down and he has been benched for not hustling too. Overall, it has been a very poor year for Rollins and it baffles me that you have ignored him and picked on the 2 studs on the team. I never will understand your thinking i guess! lol


You should be ripping Rollins a new ASSSSS!

I guess I don't think Rollins is that great to begin with so I cut him slack.

He does deserve to get hammered and he has been (just not by me...lol)
