Reyes Causes Controversy with Error Reaction
Jose Reyes went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a walk in the Mets’ 3-1 win over the Yankees Sunday but all that was being discussed in the papers was his actions following his seventh-inning error, the NY Newsday reports. After being charged with an error on a wide throw that first baseman Carlos Delgado could have gloved but didn’t, Reyes fired his glove to the ground - his sunglasses fell off, too - and then walked off the field instead of hustling to the dugout once the inning was over. After the game, Reyes said he was upset at making his 11th error of the year and not showing up Delgado, but it was a ball Delgado should have handled, though Reyes should have not reacted in that manner. Just another possible soap opera to add to the already combustible mix in New York. (Rotowire)
