I couldn't see the screenshot on my work computer. But now that I'm not at work (thanks to Congress for giving me the day off by not being able to prevent the Government shutdown), I see your picture. And it's even more obvious to me that Lawrie isn't past Reyes.

Heck, Reyes' feet are still on the home-plate side of the bag, and you would see that fact even more clearly if the picture were taken directly in line with the second-to-third baseline. And Lawrie is mostly on the back side of third. For Lawrie to be past Reyes, he would have to be a step or two off the bag toward home.

What's also pretty clear to me is how U3's vision of Reyes feet is being blocked by Lawrie, and that he's staring at the glove during the tag.
