Phillies: Should Jimmy Rollins become a permanent broadcaster?

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.

Rollins provided a lot to like in his color commentary debut.
