That was an awesome play by Rolen.

Pirates just tied the game. 3-3
Down to the seventh spot in the order. Pitcher looming. Let's see if the Reds can reward Rolen's hustle by finding a way to get him home.
Frazier grounds out to 3rd so Rolen can't advance
Look at Rolen. More hustle to 3rd on a wild pitch.
Rolen gets to third on his own.
Unproductive out by Frazier. Needs to hit that ball to right and move Rolen over, as Chris is correctly stating in the TV booth.
Reds are bailed out, though, on a short wild pitch with Rolen moving to third.
I get the announcers mixed up, Is Brantley the one that is complaining about Frazier's AB?
Thanks.
Double play Rolen tries to go home on a fly out to left and is thrown out at home.
I got the feeling that at bat that Mes didn't want the walk. The last two pitches were probably ball four.
With pitcher up next (and Stubbs after), man on third, Mes wanted to hit the sacrifice fly, and just came up a few feet short.
I really think that's what happened there, and frankly I give Mes credit for it. We all like walks but in that spot if you can make contact, I like going for the sac fly.
