At what point do these "big leaguers" get reprimanded for not hustling. Yes, 99% of the time not hustling will not lead to outs or potential scoring losses, but when it does happen, it makes you wonder why the players aren't benched. Baseball is a game of "Charlie Hustle". You play hard and never stop. Looks like today's players just don't get that.
Was Springer's injury a factor in that play? I thought I understood that it was, but maybe he was just jogging because he lacked the will to win in game 7.
