I always hear that argument about managers but c'mon if the manager is making decisions that are hurting the team he is making the job of the players even more difficult than it should be.

I'm just fed up as are the guys I was with and even though we played the game on a much much smaller level we played for managers that would not have moved a Butler from 6th back to 4th after only a few days of 6th beginning to show some promise,they would not have pulled a pitcher in a zone in the last inning of a 1-0 game because of a pitch count,they sure as hell wouldn't have moved a Butler from 4th to 3rd who was struggling again and would have given a bench guy a shot and on and on...

Sorry I'm rambling but I hate Yost,any manager that gets fired from a team getting ready to go into the play-offs should have never been rehired in the first place.

Agree or not it's my .02

So you don't want a discussion on players, leadership, and their feelings towards management and how that relationship exists. You just want to complain about Yost. That is fine I guess.

KC has truly had some shitty managers over the past 20 years. Its sad that Yost is probably one of the better ones in that group.

Leadership starts at the top does it not?

Now that is truly a frightening thought seeing that none of those others were fired from a team getting ready to enter the postseason. :shudder:

Maybe the Royals just aren't a good team. Maybe Cleveland is just better, and is run by a superior GM. I didn't watch (and really, why would anyone?) but the recap says we scored our only run on an error.


Our offense is a complete joke and there's very little chance this team finishes over .500. DM had 8 years to build a competent lineup, and it is clear he failed miserably.

I am not sure why you think they don't care or what kind of leadership you expect from the players and how any perceived lack of leadership in the players is Ned's fault. Or what the relationship is that you perceive to exist between not caring and questioning or not questioning the manager.

None of those other guys even got close to the Postseason. unless you count Pena I guess......

The box score says Cory Kluber (who?) went the distance. 1 unearned run with 11k and 0 bb. That's just utterly amazing.

Appreciate the little discussion we had but let's just leave it that I think Yost is a complete idiot and all I want is to complain about him.

Oh I get that but here we are again as KC fans(both Chiefs and Royals) just excited to be in the hunt.I don't know,I'm 51 years old and have exactly one championship in both sports combined that I was old enough to enjoy.

But he's not, really.

The major league baseball manager in the AL is the least-important and least-relevant of all the head coaches in the major American sports. It begins and ends with the GM and the players. The only time the manager is important is if he is bunting too much or making pitchers throw 120+ pitches every day and injuring them.

Aoki, Hosmer, Butler, Gordon, Moose...


0-19. Good grief.....

Yost is obviously sabotaging them, somehow

Aoki hasn't impressed me much.
