Very debatable. 
 

Kemp’s best asset is his speed. 

That's telling.

His 2023 sprint speed was 26.2 coming in at the 23rd percentile.

He didn't get a good outcome, but I felt like that was growth Cowser battling a top MLB closer a long way.

You mean like that?

O'Hearn is slow and O'Neil has a gun.

Should have pinch run for him.

This is a situation where you wish some of those bats at Norfolk were available right now. Kemp isn’t a pinch hitter if the objective is to make a hit. 

Your bench is not strong when you need to pinch hit Tony Kemp with the go ahead run on 3rd in the 9th.

Yeah, Kemp is a guy who probably was fast at one point, but no longer.

27.7, 60th.

[Tony-OH]

Damn that is some good range and a nice throw by Gunnar.

He really is the 2024 version of Frazier, just without the clutch.

Keep painting Kimbrel!

Great play Gunnar!

Crazy that was his fastest sprint speed in his career.

[btdart20]

That looked good of the bat.  Glad he got under it a bit.

[O's84]

Top of the lineup coming up in the 10th.  Let's get it done guys.

[Mooreisbetter27]

At least the Birds are fighting again. Would love to see us steal another win.

Agreed.  I kept expecting a breaking ball.  I bet it was in Cowser's mind too.
