Why does Gamel bat 2nd the in non-counsell RHP lineup but Hardy bats 2nd if Counsell is in and Gamel then hits 6th? Splits up the lefties. Splitting up lefties is more important than many other lineup considerations. I would prefer Gamel higher but Counsell batting leadoff with Fielder locked into the 4 hole trumps Gamel #2. I also dont like Hart 1 or 2, yes he has speed and is hot now, but his horrible decline in OBP over the past few years is too much to overlook Hart leads off against LHP. Not quite as pronounced as Hall, but he hits LHP better than RHP. Braun and Fielder should never get a day off when they are healthy, they under 26 years old, they dont need the rest. Braun hasn't been completely healthy all year. A day off now and then wouldn't hurt. Sitting Fielder once a month vs a LHP wouldn't hurt either. He is our worst hitter, besides Kendall, vs LHP. I won't suggest messing with Braun/Fielder Did you purposely flip them in your lineup?http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif
