BP Shuns media after hitting 2 Jacks Sunday

From Hal McCoy's Blog:

Now a smidgen of bad stuff. Second baseman Brandon Phillips has his nose out of joint. After getting three hits (two homers) Sunday, he refused to talk to any media, telling them, "Just get out of my space and leave me alone. I don’t feel like talking. Nobody talks to me when I’m going bad. They just write crap. When I’m going good, everybody wants to talk to me. So just leave me alone."

And he was left alone. There was too much good to contemplate over the last two days, 10-9 and 10-1 wins over the Giants, to play games with a moody second baseman. That wide smile can fool you. It isn’t always there in the clubhouse.

But if he wants to be left alone, so be it

Has anyone seen anything calling out BP directly? I have seen reports about the team struggling over all, but I don't really understand where he is coming from.

hmmm

Seems like everybody’s been getting hit pretty hard with criticism, but I’ve never seen anyone ask to get rid of BP like they have with Dunn, Junior and EdE. So, I say, suck it up you wuss!

BTW

This should be a fanpost. It’s going to get buried down here, and I think it’s more significant that a Fanshot would imply.

do something about it with you (screech) powers

In the end, life and business are about human connections. And computers are about trying to murder you in a lake. And to me the choice is easy.

I don't want to put it on the front page

because I don’t want to be bashing BP just to bash him, but I think this is worthy of more eyes. I’m hoping that it will get more visible by being rec’d.

Let's see where it goes when it is rec'd up

If it doesn’t pop to a more visible spot, we’ll get it there somehow. We’ve never actually had a rec’d fanshot, so I don’t know what happens when it meets the minimum criteria.

Looking at other sites

it looks like rec’ing it is not going to make it any more visible.

Kyle, why don’t you move it into a fanpost. I think there is some discussion value there.

yeah it's rec'd enough to be recommended, but it didn't really help

I went ahead and created a fanpost

I’m closing the comments on this one.

this doesn't bother me

The only people who should care how BP feels about the media is the media, but since they control what we all read, we have to hear about it. I want the guy to produce and not be disruptive. I don’t think this counts as being disruptive.
