Is it possible while running to first base on a shot hit down the line that Kemp took a look to see if he should be making a turn to 2nd base for a double or running through because Wright got to the ball. It was at the point where he had to determine the angle to hit the base from
It was cool as in close to cold last night in NY and the temp today is in the low 60's so I suspect each player is a tad cautious about their hamstrings. Especially Kemp who is rightfully protecting his.
While most of the talk about player performance has focused on Matt Kemp folks might want to take a look at his stats compared to Dre. They are going in opposite directions. Kemp is up to 266 as of this moment with ten RBI's and Dre is at 225 with six. Kemps slugging percentage is one point higher. While not great still higher. Dre still has a higher on base percentage 329 vs 302.
My god this team just spins it's wheels against shit pitching far too often. Not hitting great pitchers is expected....but the shit of the league kills us just as much.
Well we all know Dre ain't Kemp...nowhere near him as far as ceiling and ability. There's a reason why when the Puig conversation errupts, Dre is the odd man out, not Kemp.
