- Peter Gammons writes about the struggles of Matt Kemp.
Kemp hasn’t whined or complained, but Mattingly told Kevin Baxter of the Los Angeles Times “He’s frustrated. The biggest thing we want to do with Matt is to try to keep the bat in the strike zone longer…when he’s going good he’s driving the ball to center, to right-center…I notice he’s cutting his swing off…if he’s top-spinning in left and left-center field, it tells me he’s getting extension to a certain point and he’s coming off just a little bit.”
- Jill Painter of the LA Daily News captures a quote from Adrian Gonzalez about Matt Kemp on twitter.
