Rollins Rides the Pine

In the third inning of today's game Jimmy Rollins popped up to shallow left field, Reds shortstop Paul Janish misplayed and dropped the ball.

Rollins did not run the ball out, and only made it to first base when he most likely could have been safe at second if he hustled out of the batters box.

Eric Bruntlett entered the game at shortstop for the Phils the next inning.

Uncle Charlie wants his players to hustle, and after this incident with J-Roll riding the pine, I think he'll get Charlie's message.

On a good note, Cole Hamels pitched a complete game shutout allowing just three hits, striking out four, improving his record to 6-4.
