Hate watching Upton put more effort into yelling at Longoria than he did running after that ball

2:30: Upton sure was energetic about being criticized, much more so than about running down that ball

I like how Bryce is on this video twice. Once for being lazy and a second time for his hustle.

4:50 Albert Pujols is one of the slowest baserunners ever. And he tagged up FROM FIRST on Puig, who is the CENTER FIELDER 😂

The late Mike Shannon, who played for the Cardinals in the 60's and was a broadcaster for many years, told a story about when he was in the minors and dogged it going down to first when he popped up on the infield. His manager, Harry Walker-who was a decent MLB player in the 40's-told him "you know, this game can be hard to play. Hitting good pitching is really tough. Running to the gap and the warning track to catch a fly ball is hard,not many people can do it. But hustling isn't hard to do. Anyone can hustle, as long as they want to." Shannon said he never loafed again.

I love the one where Pujols of all people tags and takes second. Great baserunning. He must have known that outfielder's tendency.

Upton proved that the loudest guys Are usually wrong

Now Cliff Lee I can potentially excuse here. He’s gotta go back on the mound the next frame.

I remember when Puig was an amazing baseball player. That was a great week for him.

The first Rays game I ever saw, BJ Upton let a ball bounce that I could have easily caught with a gentle dive, and I'm 60 years old. BJ was about 20 at the time. Laziest player in history!

No matter how unlikely, a play to first might be an error that results in you being safe at first. Take every advantage!

Pete Rose was wrong to have bet on baseball, but he always hustled, even running to first base on a walk.

I remember my little league coach chewing me out one time when a pop fly got hit to center field for not running from my position in right field to back up our center fielder. His words were "That's the effin reason why we don't put you anywhere else than right field!".

This should be shown to every baseball player on a routine basis, with the tagline: DON’T BE THIS GUY

Most shocking to me at 4:58 because Pujolse is one of the slowest runners in the MLB, and Puig has one of the best arms in the MLB.

When Andruw Jones was a rookie, he casually let a bloop into Centerfield drop in front of him. Bobby Cox pulled him out of the game on the spot. Didn’t many balls drop in front of him after that. He went on to be arguably the best Center Fielder to play the game.

Puig should have been released, he does not play smart baseball at all. Doesn’t even care at all.

Harper grew up a lot & I'm happy for him.

Players getting paid millions and don't even try to hustle...That was the first thing that I was taught when playing baseball. Always hustle because you never know what will happen...Sicking !!

Damn, I realize it’s only been a couple of years but I already miss pitchers batting lol

Omfg I love how there are two Harper clips that are completely opposite to each other 😂

When Chip Caray was doing the play-by-play for the Atlanta Braves, he often quoted his grandfather (and in Harry Caray's voice), "They pay you a lot of money to run hard to first base four times a game." The Braves fans' loss is the Cardinals fans' gain.

We need Carlton Fisk back.

Damn Longo is a legend. Knew to turn away cuz nothing productive was coming from BJ; not on the field, not in the dugout, not between the ears

These outfielders play like they worried about slipping and getting dirty.

BJ Upton's career in a nutshell... Looked promising, but no hustle..

to be fair, I dont fault cliff lee for not moving down the bases. Dont want a starter hurting themselves trying to leg out something right to a fielder

Upton, Puig -- you expect that shit. That is SO uncharacteristic of Jason Heyward. He is genuinely a good guy and teammate.

2:52 the color commentary here is golden. I laugh my ass off every time.

That first play amazes me. Bases loaded. He clearly jogged cuz he was mad. Hope coach benched him rest of game

I saw Barry Bonds “play” once in Montreal. Let’s just say I don’t think he needed a shower after that game.

I remember a game where someone hit a shot to center that Andruw Jones might have been able to catch if he tried. But he just ran a couple steps forward then jogged and grabbed it after a couple hops. Bobby Cox then called time, stepped out of the dugout, and motioned to Jones to get downstairs. Pulled him right out of the game.

1998 Atlanta Braves, Andruw Jones casually fielding a ball and getting Bobby Cox to chew him out😅

I umpired baseball and softball for 30 years and I saw some egregious examples of lack of hustle. The one that sticks in my mind was in a men's softball game. The first batter of the inning hit a pop-up to the second baseman. The batter assumed it would be caught, so he jogged directly to his bench. However, the second baseman dropped to he ball--but he was able to pick it up and run to first base himself for the easy putout because the batter had long given up on the play. Let's just say his teammates weren't happy.

How is there not a Gary Sanchez compilation on here?

Got to love the pitcher walking over to the base so he can add a putout to his season stats 😆 (0:44)

I remember a play in the 2002 World Series. One of the Angels hit a Texas leaguer into left field. Barry Bond didn't even try to catch the ball. Willie Mays would have caught it... from center. Also, Bryce Harper hitting a routine fly ball, and not running it out. Supposedly great ballplayers excelling in laziness.

0:43 - Pitcher is like "Huh. Okay, I'll just take it myself."

Lack of hustle is unforgivable in Baseball, more than most any other sport because there isn't constant motion, so there is no excuse of being tired to not give 100% on every play. Most of the time, you are just standing around waiting for something that involves you to do something.

5:15 Shows you what "The Captain" was really about in his later years

That last one isn’t a lack of hustle play it’s just a brainfart on Jeter. A-Rod had perfect positioning and Jeter should have had some presence of mind to not bump into him.

I can't believe that more player don't understand that if you put more pressure on the defense, they're more likely to make mistakes. Run every play out at full speed.

Harper in one for not hustling. One for hustling. MVPs pace and pick their spots...

There was a very recent game -- last season, I think -- in which a ball was hit over the head of the center fielder for Boston, and the guy basically just stood there pointing atit while the left fielder ran over to pick it up.

The A-Rod Jeter play wasn't really lack of hustle. I honestly think both guys thought the other one caught it.

Yasiel Puig has the distinct honor of being on this video twice. I hope he’s proud of himself.

High school baseball coach's mantra was, "It takes no ability to hustle."

I remember a play in the 1980s by then-Pirate George Hendrick who put hardly any effort into stopping a ball from rolling up the line past him. The Pirates color announcer Jim Rooker described Hendrick's lack of effort during the reply as "he half-ass.... er, he barely tried to stop that ball." My memory is that he began to pronounce the "s" sound in ass, but maybe I'm mis-remembering. He did at the very least pronounce the "a".

Well 90% of these plays have one thing in common. 😮

BJ Upton always had speed and athleticism. He was one of the fastest players in baseball in his prime. That's part of what makes plays like that so frustrating.

Puig making this video more than once showed you he never tried hard enough. Such a great talent but didn't put in the work to be an all-time great player.

This video tells you pretty much everything you need to know about why Yasiel Puig’s career fizzled out.

I remember watching Cubs games back in the late 80s and early 90s. Shawn Dunston would sometimes do what Bryce Harper did on a routine single. If he saw the outfielder wasn't hustling to get to the ball, he would run hard and turn a single into a double. He had enough speed to make it most of the time.

Hustle can life a so-so player into the excellent player category.

Cliff Lee was the one of if not the best outcher in baseball when he was with Philadelphia. He was probably throwing a shitout and wanted to get back to the mound

The answer to all this is obvious: MLB players are simply not being paid enough. This "job action" is the only practical means available to them to protest that fact. Short of a downright strike, it's their version of a "work stoppage".

Other than Matt Williams, the manager of every player is directly responsible for the lack of hustle...as there is no consequence. Cleon Jones loafed after a ball in 1969, and Gil Hodges walked to leftfield and physically escorted him off the field. We need more of that.

Puig had potential to be an all-around dangerous fielder and hitter... He just didn’t give a damn.

Best one I ever saw was Ricky Henderson dogging it after a base hit and turning it into a double. Manager Pinella subs him right off the field in mid-inning.

Now, on the first Harper clip, if he had been sprinting anyways and twisted his ankle or some such, he'd be crucified for getting himself injured on a guaranteed out...

At least Heyward admitted he screwed up

Harper works extremely hard and is hit by pitches quite often. He will be a hall of famer.

They all do this now though. It's like all of a sudden last year or the year before, running out ground balls is mostly optional. A player won't get benched for not hustling today.

Some Traits will always appear.

Just one way you can tell pro athletes that play for themselves, not the team or fans.

As a White Sox fan (unfortunately) it was probably Luis Robert getting hurt one of the million times he does running the bases. Gotta be on roids

gathering wool ... Had to look that one up!

The Jeter one wasn’t a lazy play, Jeter thought arod caught it, he was even headed back to the dugout, this was all explained in the post game, I’m not even a Yankees fan and I hate Jeter but I just hate when people just add clips for the hell of it

I like how puig is on here twice one for his hustle and the other for his lack of awareness

I don’t know about some of these. There’s a fine line between hustling and accepting the loss of the play.

Albert Pujols greatest moment as an Angel was as a base runner!

Would love to have seen Puig pull those stunts on Billy Martin. Billy would’ve decked him the second he set foot in the dugout.

I always love watching what a great teammate Derek Jeter was.

The epitome of lack of hustle is Reggie Jackson of the Yankees and Billy Martin yanking him out immediately after. On the other hand, Pete Rose is nicknamed "Charlie Hustle". Who's in and Who's not in the Hall of Fame.

Every time you do not run to first as hard as you can you demean the memory of Kirby Puckett.

Ugh... the memories which haunt me....

Not surprised to see Luis Robert. Could have made a whole video on Robert and Eloy Jimenez.

Play canceled him too. He was an uprising star and everything went downhill after that play. (Hanley Ramirez)

0:30 idk why but I love this sentence so much ☠️☠️

Surprised Giancarlo Stanton didn’t make it. He doesn't even hustle in post-season games.

Ironically this is the most baseball I've ever watched

I would like to see the face of Pete Rose while watching these clips!!!! I think he would have a look of total disbelief!!! Lol!!!!🤣🤣🤣

This is a reflection of the cultural work ethic of today.

Did you basically just remake an earlier video of yours swapping out a few different clips?

The Jeter/A-rod play always brings a smile to my face, considering they have a combined 7 Gold Gloves

Missing the one where Jarren Duran of the Boston Red Sox lost track of a fly ball and gave up on the play, resulting in Raimel Tapia of the Blue Jays scoring an inside-the-park grand slam.

Never be a lazier play then Hanley. I went from confusion to anger.

Players ran harder in yesteryear's All Star Games.

If I were the manager everyone of these guys not running it out would sit.

In cliff Lee's defense he probly threw 130 pitches in 9 innings that game

I like how they want the big money contract and say how disrespected they are when it isn’t offered,But after they are signed it becomes to much of an effort to hustle .

Harper acts like a spoiled punk sometimes

You lollygag your way to first base. You lollygag your way in and out of the dugout.

4:30 Cruz, in fact, did NOT get a chance.

I guess this is the MLB version of quiet quitting.

Way to earn your dough, keep going to see these guys play, you'll never learn.

Some of these guys should be in a wheelchair league.

Puig is the ultimate in wasted talent.

Robinson Cano dogging it to 2nd to be the last out in a close game in the bottom of the 9th is actually insane

3:18 Uh...Yeah Heyward, not really necessary to indicate who was at fault as we all knew who the lazy bastard was to blame...
