Answer is the waitress at Foghorn's across the street...

That's what I was thinking.  With the old bats, it probably breaks a window at the hotel behind Foghorns.

The crazy thing is that the majority of his HRs aren't big fly balls that carry out, but extremely hard hit balls.  He could put together a 20/20 season this year.  I think he is quietly having a 1st team AA type season.

he is having a super year with his all around great play........it seems to me if trends continue our middle infield is about to become the weakest part of our team, if it isn't already .. pitchers are improving and the  middle infield is going the other direction. someone needs to step up and play those positions at least at an average level, both in the field and at the plate.....

If I were an SEC pitching coach I would tell all my guys to just pretend the strike zone is 6 inches to the right when AB is at bat, cuz you dont want to give him anything inside.

I knew ab was fast but it didn't even look like he started running hard till he was almost at second.

You could tell by his stride and the general body language that he was thinking double or out until he saw the ball drop and skitter away, you can see the jets ignited in the set of his face as he rounds second.  By the time he starts to make the turn at third if the coach had stopped wheeling him he would have either stumbled halfway to home as fast as he was going (trying to stop) or he would have ignored it.  He was wheeling it!
