Photo of the Day The Dude's New Stance ...again
OK, I know I promised a picture of a guy who'll rock you like a hurricane today, but after Eric Hinske's magnificent two-homer performance last night I had to put up a picture of The Dude.

There was a request a few weeks ago for a comparison between Hinske's early season stance that seemed to have made a difference and what he's doing now. Well, here you go:

This photograph is from the weekend series against Tampa. Compare it to the photo of the day examining his stance in April. Discuss.

Hands were slightly higher in the early season stance.....legs also seemed to be further apart, giving him a better base....

What a great comparison! Well done. Somebody send these two shots to Mickey Brantley, stat!

Eric is less gladiator-like in this shot. More tentative, I would say. Hands less heroically high, leg less heroically outstretched. Is this the effect of two months of booing?

As was mentoined in the old stance thread, you can't really compare the two effectively. The picture here is of his stance, however the in the old one, Hinske has already finished his stride and trigger.

That said, the old stance without the stride and trigger would look quite similiar to the one in the photo here. So I really see no difference.

Aw, you stride-and-trigger guys are all alike. My eyes don't deceive me, and from the looks of it to me, he ain't moving in either picture!

How the mighty have fallen. NFH used to predict Photo of the Day mojo-dom with his daily shots, while now he is merely a follower.

Shame...

Bah, I used to celebrate strong appearances the day before! That was how it started!
