I'd want to give Reyes credit for trying but that throw could have been horrible. Try to keep the runner out and no-no going but that could have put him on 2B easily.
At this rate it might just be easier and less time consuming for them to dig a hole, dump fresh dirt in and try that. Do they have a sprinkler leaking under it?
He's only 34 so not really that old but I guess it just caught up to him earlier. Didn't he have a few injuries in his career? Maybe that caught up to him?
