His start was moved up from Friday the 31st to Thursday the 30th. This tells me the Phillies are so desperate for revenue that they are making him pitch one last time at home to get a huge walk up bump in attendance from lemmings going to see his last start at home.
Because they are so greedy, I hope he gets hurt and blows whatever deal they had in place for Friday.

The Phillies policy is to retire only the numbers of Phillies in the baseball HOF
Get s clue....That's good for Rollins then because his number will be retired.
Get s clue....

Despite what's been posted, benchwarmers needs to get s clue.
It's their policy now.
I don't know if the policy is written anywhere. I spoke w a member of the organization about it.
Rollins is a borderline possibility. But if he doesn't get in, they won't retire the number
In some attempt to sell tix didn't the Phillie's do something silly to honor pat the bat? Could have sworn this just happened. Am j making this up?
You don't want to be the Yankees, retiring the number of every Tom, Dick, and Elston
Oh boy, burrs is making up new standards that mean nothing. By the highlighted statements that sounds great but means little, Rollins is one of the 3 best ss in Phillie's history.Agree, but Rollins is arguably a top three position player ever.
Thought so. For the record, Rollins and I have the same chance of being elected to the baseball hall of fame for playing the game of baseball
To me, they should keep it a HOFers only. Makes it really prestigious. And I love Rollins
No he's not. Donald Trump has a better chance of becoming president. Rollins has no shot, none. Despite how silly cata gores you try and create to justify your fandom
Well if Barry Larkin says yes, then he must be in.Last week Barry Larkin said he's definitely a HOF'er. Now, I don't agree with this type of conviction ("definitely"), but I'll take Larkin's opinion over some random, Frontrunning Bats' fan.
He's closer than you think.
But we've been over this before. No
Need to rehash it.
Well if Barry Larkin says yes, then he must be in.
I just hope eating popcorn gif's are still around.I look forward to the following argument seven years from now:
adp: "I told you Rollins wouldn't get into the HOF."
burrs: "You said he had no chance. He got 37.8% of the vote which shows that he was more in the conversation than you gave him credit for."
And then 250 more posts after that.
Yes, why use things like measurable numbers and stuff. There is no case for Rollins in the Hall unless you are a CoP homer who likes to create new stats to support a silly attempt to include Rollins. He doesn't have the numbers and at no point was he ever considered the best at his position. Nice player, no shot at the hall. There won't be a long debate because the guy has no chance. Any non-biased person can draw that conclusion rather easily.Ha ha...not really.
But by the same token if ADP says he isn't then by God he isn't.

No need to rehash it, we'll all just keep playing this silly game I created called, blind philly homerism, Crazy stuff like stats, history and measurable data need not apply. The barrier for inclusion is does he raise to calf tattoo worthy? If so, he's in.Well if Barry Larkin says yes, then he must be in.
Fun fact: Jimmy Rollins' best season OBP is .349. Barry Larkin had 14 seasons better than that.
