Any Manager stating what he stated should, at the very least, be ROASTED by the Media. Given this is a soft ball league media market, they'll let him slide.

This shit is an abomination to Royals fans and the Team. What makes this completely unacceptable is that he doesn't believe what he did was wrong. If he goes with Herrera in the 6th and Kelvin gives up the dong to Nava, then so be it. We went with our best to preserve the lead and give ourselves a chance at the win. But, to throw caution to the wind with Crow, and to use some trite BS that "Crow is our guy in the 6th", is just the sort of mind blowing stupidity that should get your ass shown the door immediately. That sort of mismanagement just screams: Ned doesn't get it. Something most of us have known for a while.

Steven St. John blew a gasket on 810 this morning

I want someone interviewing him to make him justify Crow, when Kelvin hadn't been used since Sept 10th. I can't get past this. Not even one little bit.

Crow has consistently been awful with inherited runners. To think he was somehow going to get better in this pressure situation means he doesn't get it. Answer that Ned!

Amazing that local morning sports radio show In Wichita, just this past week, said if Royals win the pennant, Yost would probably win manager of the year, if he hasnt earned it already! WOW, couldnt believe he said that! And I respect Bruce Haertl's baseball knowledge, but this is a crazy statement!

How can someone in his position be so out of touch with reality? He's supposed to have the experience and management abilities to make critical game time decisions. On my couch, some 500 miles from Kansas City, I saw Crow warming and thought, "that's probably not a good idea". What the hell has Crow done to prove he was the man to call up at that time?

I just don't get it. Screw that guy

Missed that but I'm looking forward to hearing Petro.

You have my support. Promote Eiland.

He's on a roll right now,I'm wondering if this is a replay,I love the part about Kelvin being at Denny's LMAO

He's going right now

I hope they podcasted SSJ.

Exactly. DM owns a great deal of responsibility for this.

Crowe had b2b decent outings last week. One in NY where he gave up a screaming one hopper for a DP and "magically" to "Dread" Yost all was well in Croweland.

He's been the one pitcher that Eiland fiddled with (throw with less velocity and pitches will move more. In Crowes case that movement seems to be from the bat to the bullpen) and the result was worse.

Yesterday, we wheeled Finnigan out there in 7-1 game. Why? Because Ned's YMCA philosophy of not hurting a youngsters confidence is too prevalent.

So we saw him pitch, and blow several batters away, and if there was ever a situation to use him FOR ONE ****ING OUT it was yesterday.

I said the KC media market is a bunch of pussies in another thread and was told this wasn't so. If it isn't, why isn't anyone putting him in his spot post game? We've had a good handful of dumb shit in the past two weeks.

Amen brother.... Jack's about the only one who's willing to call it like it is, IMO the others are too PC and too worried about getting kicked out of the pressers.

Haha I see I got banned from the game thread.
