Dodgers: Watch Both of Chris Taylor’s Spectacular Milwaukee Catches
In the 10th inning on Tuesday night, Dodgers center-fielder Chris Taylor made a running, leaping catch to rob Andrew McCutchen of a walk-off double. While the Brewers did get their walk-off hit the next inning, Taylor’s catch brought back a lot of happy memories for Dodger fans.
On October 21, 2018, in the bottom of the fifth inning of Game 7 of the NLCS, Taylor made another spectacular catch in left-center to preserve a 2-1 Dodgers lead. Taylor, playing left field that night, got an outstanding jump on a Christian Yelich line drive and made an over-the-shoulder catch as he slid on the warning track. Yasiel Puig hit a big home run the next inning, and the Dodgers went on to beat the Brewers and head to their second straight World Series.
Let’s take a look at both catches. Here’s 2018:

While the two catches aren’t so similar that anyone would confuse the two, they were similar enough that every Dodger fan on Twitter noticed it.

I love that on that incredible catch, my entire TL mentioned CT3’s history of Milwaukee outfield heroics. We’re so fortunate to have such a rich history to draw from as #Dodgers fans.

After Tuesday’s game, Taylor was asked if it felt like a little bit of deja vu, and he chuckled.
“Yeah, I caught it the same way. They were both kind of snowcone catches, I had to double-check to make sure it was in there.”
Which one was harder?
“I think the one tonight was probably a little bit more difficult. Obviously the other one was a little bit bigger stage, but that was one of the better ones I’ve made.”
