This is absurd. Last year, when the Brewers were going great and hitting everything in sight, the lineup was totally different. Hart has the highest OBP on the team, is the fastest Brewer, and a great bunter. Sounds like the perfect leadoff hitter. Nope. 5th. Hardy is the best fastball hitter on the team. He made the All-Star team last year based on his first half.....when he was hitting in the 2 hole. Nope. 7th, in front of the pitcher where he sees no fastballs. Braun and Fielder are where they belong. Weeks has nothing going for him right now. He should be the hitting 8th or 9th. Kendall is a great OBP guy, has a ton of experience leading off, and makes more contact than anyone on the team. Sounds like a 1 or 2 hole hitter. Nope. 9th. Cameron strikes out a ton, not a great contact hitter, never bunts. Sounds like the polar opposite of a 2 hole hitter. Nope. Thats where he is. Hall just stinks, send him on his merry way.

Basically, Ned is doing the polar opposite of what every hitter on this team is good at. Can he be that stupid? The lineup should be:

Hart
Hardy
Braun
Fielder
Cameron
Hall
Weeks
Kendall
Pitcher

It is obvious that what they are doing is not working. Either change the lineup or change managers.
