Phillies: Should Jimmy Rollins become a permanent broadcaster?
Jimmy Rollins made his NBC Sports Philadelphia debut Monday night against the Mets to broad approval. Should he call Phillies games full-time?
On Opening Day this year, NBC Sports Philadelphia announced that Jimmy Rollins would join the broadcast booth for several Phillies games throughout the season. The first of those games came Monday night against the Mets and Rollins did very well.
Rollins offered excellent commentary throughout the game, and his outgoing personality served him well in the role. He and John Kruk had a seamless connection producing some funny moments. Rollins even had his first TV blooper when a pitch in the seventh inning hit Pete Alonso.
