00:00Are they going to keep this experiment going with Otto Kemp as an outfielder because it does not look great,
00:05Jason?
00:06Yeah, they are. And listen, Bill, it's hard not to root for Otto Kemp.
00:11We're talking about a guy who went from undrafted to the big leagues.
00:16Who wouldn't want that to work, you know?
00:18But he's being asked to learn how to play the outfield in the big leagues.
00:24And I think it's safe to say what we've seen so far tells us it's going to be a rough
00:29process.
00:31A professional outfielder catches that ball last night.
00:35Brandon Marsh catches that ball last night.
00:38And it's not the first one this year.
00:41It's not the first one.
00:42You go back to spring training.
00:44I mean, quite a few times where Otto Kemp just looked like a guy learning to play the outfield.
00:50So, look, I'm fine with assuming that if he gets more reps, he'll get better.
00:57I still think this only truly works if he hits.
01:03And as last night reminded us, this team is vulnerable to left-handed pitching.
01:08So the arrangement makes sense.
01:11You know, it makes sense to go into this season with Brandon Marsh playing against the right-handers, right,
01:17and pairing him with some right-handed hitter who could punish left-handed pitching.
01:24And obviously, it's a really small sample, but Otto Kemp's one for 11 with six strikeouts.
01:31Nevertheless, he's going to get a lot more runway.
01:35I mean, I could go into detail on why, but I guess my question to you is,
01:41if not this, what would you do in set?
01:47What would you do in das?
