Bakers lineup changes...

[Stevietmoney]

I have a question for the baseball experts out there, cause I haven't paid enough attention to this. I grew up as an Orioles fan watching teams under Earl Weaver for years. His lineup was from day to day, as I remember, pretty much the same. Historically speaking, have other managers tweaked their lineups nearly as much as Dusty Baker? :?: :?: :?:

DON BAYLOR :shock:

You're right, Baker switches lineups just because...not to mention his whole lefty/righty matchup obsession. Even when a lineup works, rarely will he run the same lineup out the next day. Though I've only been watching baseball for 15 years religiously, I can't say that anyone except Don Baylor comes close to Baker in this regard.

Psh, Earl Weaver, what does he know.

I wouldn't make that sarcastic comment in front of Steve Stone, if I were you. :-)
