re: DAT 8/23: Astros v Pirates

I didn't catch every inning, but why did I have to watch Marisnick do his best Ivan Nova imitation in the 9th?

Had Kemp already been used?

Seems like Kemp facing a RH there would make more sense. I just have more confidence in a Kemp AB than I ever will in Marisnick.

In fact, I think I can confidently say that Teo should and will take his place on the roster next year. Kid can handle the bat. Any good graces Marisnick had with me were lost on the first pitch bunt back to the mound with 1 out nobody on Monday night.
