Apropos of nothing…
In yesterday’s game, they very briefly cut to a camera shot of hitting (?) coach Popkins talking with AK in the dugout while he was being pinch hit for by Santana. Here’s my version of how that went…..
Popkins: Sorry Alex, but the Big Guy says until you start hitting lefties, we’re going to pinch hit for you.
Alex: But Coach, if I NEVER get a plate appearance against a lefty, how am I going to be able to hit against them?
Popkins: Er….you might have a point. We’ll bring that up in the off-season.
