Tony Kemp Mic'd Up at the Futures Game

An up close and personal view of the Futures Game from Tony Kemp.

The Astros sent two prospects to Sunday's Futures Game, with Tony Kemp joining Mark Appel on the US roster. Kemp went 0-1 with two walks, and also scored a run. Kemp wore a microphone during the game, which led to some amusing moments.

He won't be taking J.J. Watt's crown as the best Mic'd Up Houston athlete, but he did have some funny commentary. I especially liked when he hit a fly ball to left after two walks and said "that's why I don't swing".
