Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

Changes in the Brewers lineup for today's game.

I have no problem with Yost changing up the lineup. What I do have a problem with, is how he will say Monday morning that he's going to do "A," he's going to stick by "A" for the long term, etc.; but then come Tuesday morning he has changed his mind and is doing "B."

The Braun-Fielder switcheroo is one example of Yost adamantly saying one thing, and then doing another the next day. I have a feeling that by the All-Star break the whole "batting Kendall eighth" decision will be reversed too.

Yost is constantly undermining his own decisions, and what does that say about his decision-making abilities?

It's about time....Yost is an idiot for batting Gross in the two spot with his .090 avg and Hart 6th with his .350 avg

I read on Jsonline blog that Fielder and Braun asked to be switched. I agree fully with BS. I think when Gwynn and Cameron are back, Gross should be gone. He's kind of made a Chris Magruder living. Just good enough to get a paycheck, but has never really developed into a player. Maybe he can pull a Drew Henson and go back to football.
That pitcher in the 8th spot sure hurt them Tuesday night when twice Bush came up with 2 outs and 2 men on.(At the time Kendall was 3d in the league in hitting, yet behind the pitcher. Stupid statistic this early in the season, but pretty hilarious) Then again, if Billy Hall could have done something with nobody out and 2 on....

I think Hart always gets overlooked...he's such a threat at the plate and on the basepaths...Hall is more of a streaky hitter, so it's best to not have him too high in the order...nice to see Prince get his first homer today...especially in such a critical situation...hopefully the Brewers can go to Cincy and get a series win.
