I need a GIF of Kimbrel saying "Oh my god" after that catch.
is Andruw's catch that saved Glavine's game.
Yeah...Andruw's was better...quite a bit better.
Love to see that the Braves and scratch and claw for a win. They need to be able to do that for post season.

He can play the position, it's just not wise to pkay him out there, he's already had injury issues and someone his size would almost certainly be hurt most of his late 20s and likely all of his 30s. Tall guys don't patrol CF for too long, the guys who do it a long time are usually on the shorter side. Some exceptions of course, but guys like Lofton and Bourn tend to outlast guys like Griffey and Druw. And Heyward is much taller than either of them.
Stockholm, more densely populated than NYC - sturg
I might have to say that Heyward's catch was better.
Things to consider:
1) Heyward is like twice the size of Andruw.
2) Heyward hasn't played CF regularly.
3) It was raining during the play.
4) Since it was raining for a while, that means the ground is pretty wet and slip potential.
5) The Andruw catch would've only made the score 2-1, Heyward misses, that's 2 runs scoring and a loss.

OK, you seriously have no idea how long I've been looking for the video. This was one of the greatest catches I've personally ever seen. That should have been an easy double/triple if anyone else is playing CF. I honestly don't know that anyone but Andruw Jones could have made that catch. Not even Mays

Look at how much ground Heyward had to cover to catch that ball. Excellent pic by fauxfrankwren.
It was easier to run on that sprint on that turf than it is slipper outdoor grass.
Wet conditions made it harder.
