Pillow Talk, Almost

Clare and her mother went shopping for mattresses Sunday afternoon, so I was a little surprised by the direction our conversation took when they got back.  Instead of anything “posturepedic,” it was all hitting.

“Dad, do you know what Bryce Harper did over the All-Star break?”  No, what?  “He decided to rework his swing because he isn’t doing as well as last year.  He’s standing up straight more.  I like that.”  Not the new stance necessarily, but being “a ballplayer who wants to do better, not like Adam Dunn [he of the .221 batting average].  He goes up to bat, strikes out, and says, ‘Oh, well.’”

For Dunn’s sake, I hope he never gets my daughter for a hitting coach or, perish the thought, manager.  Either way, he’d be laid out flat in no time.
