Last week, we said that we needed to talk about Kevin...
He had just suffered some awful defensive lapses that a player of his defensive caliber should not make. He was Kevin Kiermaier after all.
Now Kiermaier has moved on and made last week seem like a distant memory. He put an exclamation on that as he ended today’s game against the Indians in traditional Kevin Kiermaier fashion.
Jason Kipnis was facing Alex Colome with two outs in the 9th inning of a three run game. The count was 1-0, and with the next pitch, Kipnis lofted a flyball to deep straightaway center field.
