Some of the people on this site would crucify Vince Lombardi if he were coaching their football team, and they'd lynch Whitey Herzog if he were managing their baseball team.
Ned Yost is obviously a ****ing genius when it comes to developing young players into productive players, and he is obviously a ****ing genius at managing a bullpen. It helped that the 3 guys he put into his 7-8-9 rotation turned out to be superhumans, but he helped make them that way.
He got this team to the World Series. They didn't get there on their own, "in spite of him".
Ned Yost is what his record says he is. Right now he's the first manager in history to win his first 8 postseason games.

You know one would think this is self evident however people like Pete constantly whine and complain about what doesn't work. Sometimes shit doesn't work. Even Andy I haven't been real critical of because Alex just can't do what should be a easy play and make a conversion.
Do I disagree with Ned and Andy at times? Absolutely but my decisions would be mocked by the same group just as roundly.
