It’s so weird that the guy who couldn’t get re-signed by the worst team in the league can’t hit for us!

Maton is slashing .357/.500/.571/1.071 in Norfolk. Why they DFA'd him and then wasted $1 million on Kemp is beyond me. 

[SteveA]

Two walks in a game for Burnes... that is RARE.

[Philip]

Urias should go. Good defense and a career average hitter, yes, but gosh there are several ways to cover third quite well without sacrificing anything.

Please give him a farewell fruit basket and send him off to Colorado?

Only guess is for Mullins emergency injury.

Maton didn't get a single hit in ST did he?  He was 0-20something last I heard.  I'm all for dumping Kemp but this isn't the greatest argument against him.

0-23, 10k's

[Rbiggs2525]

Can the top of the order produce a run. It’s been a few games.

[ArtVanDelay]

Tony Kemp thought that popout to the mound was 40 rows deep

It would be fitting.He's been off to a Rockies start for us.

Hell, Nevin or Wong would have been better.... and both of them are horrific options. There must have been clubhouse concerns or something.

Kemp hasn't played an inning in CF since 2019. Cowser is the backup for Mullins.

[Philip]

By the way, I’m listening on the radio and the radio guys are terrible, Kevin Arnold and somebody else. They sound like they’re reading the phone book.

Until the ball hit the wall, Cowser double sound like it was just gonna be a routine fly, and even after the ball hit the wall, it still sounded like it was going to be a routine play.

I’m amazed that they don’t have access to better broadcasters.

I don't know much about Kemp but I'm going to assume Elias and Hyde think he's a good fielder and that's why he's playing behind Burnes. But like I said, I'm just being optimistic.
