I'd rather he not miss the time...

as scientific freak and on maternity leave. Maybe y’all could just have his babies instead? But please don’t, cause I’d rather he not be Travis Henry Sr.

I screamed that at Jesse Valenzuela at a Gin Blossoms concert once

He looked at me and smiled…that was pretty cool.

That's disturbing

If he does have kids I hope he teaches them how to play baseball!!

A lotta room in right-center, if he hits one there we can dance in the streets. The 2-1. Swung, line drive left field! One run is in! Here comes Bream! Here's the throw to the plate! He is...safe! Braves win! Braves win! Braves win! Braves win!...Braves win! They may have to hospitalize Sid Bream; he's down at the bottom of a huge pile at the plate. They help him to his feet. Frank Cabrera got the game winner! The Atlanta Braves are National League champions again! This crowd is going berserk, listen!

awesome picture. You wouldn’t happen to have it in a higher resolution would you?

by Windu on Apr 18, 2010 9:54 PM EDT reply actions  

Sadly

I don’t think anyone would be too pleased with the original. It’s because of its reduced size and a little bit of tuning that makes it as acceptable as it appears above, but the original isn’t at all that great.

No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.

Someone needs to make a gif of Heyward jumping up and down.

Any takers?

nope

per a royhobbs request, there will be no Heyward gifs. He is above that mortal crap anyway. Heyward frowns upon pictures because it implies that it only happens once

why is rh against it?

Because he knows every thread would be slammed with JHey gifs?

not surprised

AA had a 4k comment count on their open thread of the 20 inning game yesterday…i have no idea how that thread was usable for everyone…

Shitty moderating. TC would never get that bad. And I think the Cardinals blog had like 7 threads lol.

Okay

It’s not that I’m against all gifs, it’s simply the ones that are completely irrelevant to the topic, baseball, and are more like “I’m finding this funny, so should you” type. And there is a big difference between optimized and un-optimzed gifs that really make a noticeable difference. I totally dig Heyward gifs as much as everyone else does, and as long as they’re not exorbitant in size and tank everyone else’s systems, go for it. But take for example, if you see that there’s already several gifs, use your own judgment on whether or not you think it’s appropriate to insert a 576 frame gif of a Japanese commercial. Just don’t be surprised if you find it’s not there at a later time.

Do you still want the gif?

I mean, we don’t have to make it the logo or anything…

by schlagdawg on Apr 18, 2010 11:21 PM EDT up reply actions  

i'd like to just see it

I was dealign with other stuff at the time and only saw the quick highlights on ESPN.

I don’t think it’ll kill a View From Your Seat thread with 16 comments in it, will it?

Is it just me or does each of those leaps cover a stupid amount of distance?

Help me! Some bullies threw my shoes over a telephone wire...with me in them!!

Thanks for posting that! And yeah, I remember an interview or something where we said he could dunk no problem since 10th grade or so

No problem

Looks like my first dabble in gif creation = success

by schlagdawg on Apr 18, 2010 11:52 PM EDT up reply actions  

10th grade?

I bet he could dunk on a 10 ft. rim when he was in the 6th grade

that's fantastic

Didn’t get to see it live. I didn’t know he went that crazy. Awesome, awesome, awesome.

by Bubdylan on Apr 18, 2010 11:59 PM EDT up reply actions  

Love it.

The sheer exuberance is great to see. He’s a kid playing a kid’s game.

Dude does have hops, but I might have jumped nearly as high when he got that hit.

LOVE this one

I smiled like a giddy school girl watching him celebrate on the field.

He has remained so composed during all the fervor about him – it was great to see him let loose a little and ENJOY his/our moment.

I LOVE that shot! I had the opposite view,

And I can’t believe I could stop jumping up and down long enough to get some clear shots:

Ahahaha!

That second picture! It looks like Hinske, Matty, and Mac are all about to flee in terror. Heyward is all bowed up in a triumphant primal scream and is a full head taller than the rest. It seriously looks like he is about to beat the shit out of somebody.

LMBO

They look freaked out. Great pictures.

People Will Come, Ray

They’ll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they’ll watch the game and it’ll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they’ll have to brush them away from their faces.

Beautiful

The second picture is easily the best – you have to ask yourself, who’s the one looking scared? It certainly doesn’t look like Heyward, it looks like he’s about to take Hinske, McCann and Diaz, and squeeze them into one being!

by royhobbs on Apr 19, 2010 10:48 AM EDT up reply actions  

Looks like some brakes are being slammed by Hinske,McCann and Diaz

Heyward is pretty good

by bighop on Apr 19, 2010 12:18 PM EDT up reply actions  

Maybe it’s just me, but I think Eric Hinske is playing a big role in our clubhouse. Seems like a great leader and a great guy!

by JadedMayberry on Apr 19, 2010 7:13 AM EDT reply actions  

Rec'd this thread.

I think it should be revisited every time we have a tough loss the night before.

I realize that may only mean a handful of times this year, but let’s keep it available. :-)

Something is going on with this team. We’ve won 3 out of 4 series despite a terrible travel schedule, despite being no-hit, despite several deep slumps, despite being blown out. Heyward and Hinske are a big part of it. With those two, we’re never going to be out of it, they can bounce us back. Great pictures Roy and Liz, thanks for sharing.

Heyward is pretty good
