Matt Kemp belted yet another home run in the first inning against the Astros tonight, in the Dodgers' 14th game.
Matt Kemp now has eight home runs on the season.
The following teams (teams) have hit fewer than eight home runs on the season:
Washington Nationals
Houston Astros
Philadelphia Phillies
Pittsburgh Pirates
Chicago Cubs
Los Angeles Dodgers, Minus Kemp
Note: The man hitting behind Kemp in tonight's game is Juan Rivera (career OBP: .327). Why was Kemp thrown ANYTHING hittable?
Note, Part Two: When Kemp came to bat in the third inning with a man on, the Astros walked him on four pitches. Rivera promptly grounded into a double play.
Note, Part Three: How can Don Mattingly bat Rivera (OPSing under .600), and not Andre Ethier (OPSing over 1.000), behind Kemp? This this would be like the Reds assigning Dusty Baker to hit behind Joey Votto.
