Both men confirmed the meeting, claiming that it was productive. "We have two rules: Hustle and be on time," Manuel told reporters. "We'll see. That's all I have to say. This is between Jimmy and me." Rollins jogged up the first-base line after hitting a routine grounder to shortstop in the sixth inning of Wednesday's loss to the Marlins. "I was just upset before I even got up there," Rollins said of the at-bat. "I was already out of it. Mentally, just upset." Rollins would not say what he was upset about, but also said it was "not an excuse" for not running hard. Manuel admitted he considered benching Rollins, but opted against it.
