I was at recent Nats game where Rollins hustled an inside-the-park homer! Nice to see.

I suspect that hustle has nothing to do with it, and has more to do with his decline at the plate which has been noticeable. Power guys can hang on to their power, but speed guys don’t hang on to their speed… unless you are Rickey. Still, will hold out hope that he does a Jeteresque comeback next year.

Aside from the idiotic comment by the racist Modds, I agree with the comments here about Rollins. I don’t see a problem in the hustle department. The biggest problem with Rollins is his horrendous OBP. For a leadoff man his OBP is more than a little below par….it stinks! (to quote Dean Wormer). It’s been all downhill for Rollins since 2008.

Well said sir. Rollins has been a rock. I’ve spoken to him at Sixers and Eagles games. He supports everything here and it’s good to see him congratulating the players coming off the field and into the tunnel heading into the locker room. Humble cat. Any city would love to have him.
