Kemp on fire.

 

[Garmel]

How many more innings does Kemp have to kill in order to move him down in the lineup?

No problem benching your young SS. But hey keep running the bad offense and bad defense out there because of what he used to do.

22 GIDP...leads majors

I just don't understand why he has to hit fourth and doesn't get more days off. Kemp is just putrid right now. Dansby should be pissed that the only player worse than him gets to play everyday.

 

[Enscheff]

Have we ever seen a team so desperate for good news that they have a graphic counting down to a players 2000th hit?

 

[SJ24]

You've got to wonder if Kemp's decline would have still been as steep if he hadn't have gotten fat.

He was such a good player 6 years ago.

 

[Enscheff]

Remember the excitement a couple weeks ago when the Braves were tied with the Cubs?

 

[bravesfanMatt]

still love this team, but why would anyone throw a strike to FF with Kemp hitting behind him...

Because Kemp is a 30 hr and 100 RBI guy, duh.

The Fear of Protection.

Ok guys.. Kemp is not up for 9 more spots.. lets get some runs..

 

[Enscheff]

Do folks still think AL teams will be looking to trade for Kemp to be their DH haha?

We can still get a run in if it's runners on first and third no out and he GIDP.

Ruh Roh.

 

[The Tariff King]

Kemp injured. Likely out of the game.

 

[SJ24]

They better not even think about bringing up Ronald.

 

[Tino25Dynasty]

I hope he gets well but I'm not even sure why he tried to get to second. He was jogging pretty much from first. I could see it was gonna be close at best as the play was going.
