Brandon Phillips goes off on reporter

You can always tell when a player has been mired in a slump when he loses his cool and that’s what happened with Cincinnati Reds infielder Brandon Phillips. Phillips and Dusty Baker were together in the managers office with a few reporters presence and Brandon went off on one of them. The reporter was C. Trent Rosecrans of the Cincinnati Enquirer.

If you look at Rosecrans twitter you can see he’s very stat minded and has made many comments about Phillips on base percentage. He commented even more when Phillips said he needs a change of spot in the lineup, maybe the 2 or 3 hole. Rosecrans went off his stat bias and said that Phillips would be better off elsewhere and Brandon wasn’t too happy about that.

Listen to the exchange it was pretty funny watching Baker’s facial reactions.

Here’s the text of the audio, courtesy of Hardball Talk.

Phillips: “Hey Dusty, the fat motherf***er on the end is worried about my on-base percentage. Why don’t you tell him to have me bat eighth with my on-base percentage.”

Rosecrans: “I don’t care about …”

Phillips: “Fat motherf***er. Make him happy, Dusty. Fat motherf***er. I’m tired of you talking that negative sh*t on our team, dog. I found out your Twitter name now motherf***er. It’s a wrap.”

Rosecrans: “Wow, took you how many years? Congratulations.”

Baker: “I ain’t in that, man. That’s between you and him.”

Rosecrans: “It’s between him and me.” (Hardball Talk)

The funniest part about this is as I write this post Brandon is currently 2 for 2 out of the two spot. Rosecrans has made sure to acknowledge it, I’m sure it was mentioned sarcastically.
