Bring Back The Stein - is that Clement Zablocki's pic in your avatar? Awesome. I just came across a book of matches I got at some tavern with his picture on 'em, Elect Zablocki in 71, or something like that.

If I may speak for BBtS---Yes, it is Zablocki.

Personally I like consistent lineups, I'm not sure why, maybe I'm just weird, but I really don't think that has too much of an effect on anything.

 

I don't think Braun being behind Fielder will make a noticable difference. Braun occasionally swings at bad pitches, but almost everyone does except those who are special. I honestly don't think his avg will drop more than 5 or 10 pts being in the four spot if he stays there and if Jenkins can get on one of his patented streaks, (crossing fingers Sunday wasn't a complete fluke), Braun should still get some ok pitches to drive.

 

What the heck, give it a shot.

I also really like this lineup. Weeks may not be hitting a lot, but he's been getting on base. Hardy and Jenkins are both swinging the bat well and moving them up in the order makes sense. The Braun/Fielder swap might hurt Braun's numbers, but they'll help Fielder's by giving him some protection. Estrada's uselessness is perfect for the 8th spot.

I have to say, I enjoy seeing the the current Brewers squad in the dugout watching the pre-game ceremony. I remember the reunion back in 2002, when the entire Phillies team stood on the top step of the dugout throughout and there wasn't a Brewer to be seen. Quite a ways the franchise has come in 5 years.

Just a heads up to anyone unaware, this game was a very late addition to the HD schedule, so if you have FSN HD, flip it on.

 

Oh my gosh, thanks for the notice. This is so much better in HD. I would have never known.
