One could argue there is a greater chance of them getting hurt on a play like that than an error. It's an argument, not saying which way is right.

I wouldnt bench anyone these two weeks for this stuff. If I was manager, I would have told Schneider to go waddle out there and massage Rios calf. Cramps happen. |

It's an instinct every player should have. Run out the damn play. In Baseball anything can happen, you just never know. Dropped pop up, he's on first, could rattle the pitcher and start a rally all because of a hustle play.

I agree right now. I'm just saying prior, their was no accountability on this team. Makes no sense to start now. Ventura lost this team in May

The situation matters. If an outfielder drops a flyball, PK is still safe at first even if he trots there. A doubleplay ball with a runner at third means the batter needs to bust behind to first. I have never seen AJ or PK not bust in a situation like that. I cannot believe this is even being debated.

The problem with the benching is it's complete bull****.
Rios wasn't benched for lack of hustle, he was benched because his lack of hustle cost the White Sox a run. There is no Ventura hard stance on hustling, he just benched the guy because of the outcome. |

Rios benched for not hustling, he 's crying all the way to the bank.
The only way to hurt him is to fine him but how much can you fine him where it really hurts?

He might get $500 or $1,000 in kangaroo court, but his pay probably nets him that much in simple interest every day or two.

Everyone should pay close attention to hitters coming out of the box after routine grounders and popouts this weekend. Tell me if you don't count a handful of plays that happened to Rios in each game today and tomorrow. |

No ones denying that. It sickens me. Even when other plays lollygag.Griffey JR. Was really guilty of it, but had star status so no one cared. I think most of us are wonder why Robin waited to do this halfway through through the season. Not only Rios, watch Ramirez a few times. he another Dog. He should of been benched and pulled 20 times already.
