I don't know why they keep giving Kemp PAs if they plan on possibly using Tucker in the postseason.  

This.  Unless they're wanting to trade Kemp?

I don't know why they keep giving Kemp PAs if they plan on possibly using Tucker in the postseason.  

they want tucker playing every day. he’s a 4th or 5th OF in Houston right now.

[Fozzz 152]

For spare change? Kemp would be a throw-in with 2-3 better prospects in any deal he would be potentially a part of.  Average defensive corner OFs have to have at least an inkling of pop to be considered valuable by teams.

Why couldn't they play him every day now?  Marwin is back to being a near replacement level player and is projected to be a below average hitter moving forward.  Marisnick is a good 4th OF but shouldn't be an every day starter, and he should never start against RHP.  Also, in spite of his solid performance so far this season, there is no way the FO wants Kemp filling out the OF on the postseason roster.  He's likely to be a below average hitter moving forward with a very limited ceiling.  

[Bender Bending Rodriguez 1693]

I have a feeling they’re trying to up Kemp’s trade value. 

[YChang 3455]

Let’s win today. That would be great.

[Fudge Nuggets 19208]

[Gut Wagon 8083]

We’re now 0-14 with RISP in the series. But we lead MLB in run differential by a country mile, so all good...right? 

[thetruth 149]

Well no one is hitting right now soooo...... 

[henrygandorf 29194]

did reddick think it was foul?  i didn't really see it and have it on mute.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

No. Just a boneheaded play.

[thetruth 149]

Seems like the nail in the coffin for this series. 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

6 total runs in a 4 game series is pathetic. I don’t care who we’re playing.
