Atomic RoadRunners | Andrew Flynn’s High-Energy Fantasy Baseball

At the urging of Carlos Beltran and Carlos Delgado, Reyes has tossed for good the serious act that he decided to adopt after last season’s collapse and criticism for his outging style. The smiles, the laughs, the handshakes, the dancing, it’s all coming back to Shea, the NY Newsday reports. Beltran approached Reyes early Tuesday afternoon and said he pleaded with him to go back to his old self - the enthusiastic, energetic, always happy Reyes. Reyes said the talk immediately energized him, and it has showed in his play. He went 4-for-5 on Tuesday night and came only a home run short of the cycle. Wednesday, he went 2-for-4 with a homer and it is probably no coincidence the Mets won both contests. For those concerned with Reyes’ slow start, this change back to the old may have been just the tonic to kick start his game. (Rotowire)
