The environment can be with us, and the environment can be against us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"SQ7EWBSZRFBPXEV2HFKZITC5ME\">In the Game 2 loss, Phillies fans weren\u2019t afraid to air their displeasure. Videos surfaced on social media of booing emanating from Citizens Bank Park during Phillies closer Jhoan Duran\u2019s entrance with his team trailing 4-1 in the ninth inning.<\/p>\n<p id=\"V3H33LLO2JAY7PHO2MHOQV53HI\">In Rollins\u2019s opinion, fans have every right to boo their own team. If anything, in Philadelphia, it should be expected.<\/p>\n<p id=\"X7OMBEMG4BFWFPGKPTAJULLWDM\">\u201cBad timing, poor timing,\u201d Rollins began, via X\/Twitter. \u201cIn the playoffs, you don\u2019t say anything about the fans, only about your performance. Even if you feel that way. And if you want to say something, say it on the plane. Say it away from the cameras, don\u2019t let them get a quote, because all you can do is make it tougher for yourself.<\/p>\n<p id=\"35WT2YGVTFA6FL43K7ALBZFMLI\">\u201cAnd I understand that the fact that, yes, when fans are behind you, it is energy. It keeps pushing me forward (and) on the road is the opposite, you feel the energy when they\u2019re quiet. And it is hard to get booed at home, but you have to understand the fans\u2019 perspective. They\u2019ve been frustrated for years. This isn\u2019t one game. This is years of games, not winning series at home, not finding a way to get it done, not getting the big hit, and this year, probably the most expectations that they\u2019ve had, the way they ended&#8230; (the window\u2019s) closing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"VLJP27Q6KZFORNNHRIKYSR7TWI\">To advance to the NL Championship Series, the Phillies will need to win three straight games. The next two games are set to be played in Los Angeles. If a Game 5 is forced, the series will return to Philadelphia.<\/p>\n<p id=\"TDNIFU2IDBD7JBWTQNVDMFZZYA\">The Phillies last won a World Series in 2008, when Rollins was the team\u2019s starting shorstop in his prime. They returned in 2009 but lost to the Yankees in six games.<\/p>\n<p id=\"26YPSJB2ZFENTOIYHU6UXKD5RQ\">\u201cIf that\u2019s how you feel,&#8221; Rollins continued, \u201cyou can silence all that by going out there and getting the job done \u2026 It\u2019s never about the fans to win or lose.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phillies&#8217; Nick Castellanos might have gone too far after Monday&#8217;s loss<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":105042,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-105041","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
