Jonathan Villar's heads up play is a little too heads up

The video's liner says it all:

In the bottom of the first inning against Houston, Cincinnati Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips pulled a cruel, cruel trick on Astros shortstop Jonathan Villar when he forced him to slide directly into his butt while protecting second base.

As if his head placement wasn't embarrassing enough, Villar was called out on the play.

"As if his head placement wasn't embarrassing enough"...he was actually safe.

Watch it again, use pause button, his hand reaches the base before tag.

Should'a went cleats first and spiked him in the a$$.
