The more heat to call him up, the less chance it will happen.

Treliving is not going to sabotage his team’s chances (including his own career) because he is rebelling against the will of the people. This isn’t who he is. Treliving will call up Phillips at the time that he believes best suits the kid and the team. He’s not going to hold off because he’s resisting heat put on him by fans. That’s just dumb.
