I was disappointed, however, in several shows of lack of hustle. Way too much assuming plays will be made or not be made. I know this is a common thing in MLB regular season play but this event was supposed to carry a bit more immediate concern. Just last night alone, a US player doubled off the RF wall and he totally pimped it headed to first, assuming either a catch or HR. Another hit a ball in the 5-6 hole and practically jogged toward first until he realized there was going to be a throw. I encourage our HS players to watch and then they see this crap going on. It's not like they were cruising to avoid injury. You could tell it was the usual MLB BS.
Some good hustle too though. Was it Yelich last night who legged out the dbl on the grounder to short left?
He turned a single into a double the night before also. He may be the exception though.
