This loss is definitely on Yost. You don't bring in a RH to face the numbers 3 & 4 LH hitters. RH Herrera threw only 13 pitches in the 8th and had 2 strikeouts so, if he's gonna have a righty out there, stick with the hot hand. LH Tim Collins was the best option; then, if he's in trouble after facing Utley and Howard, bring in Holland to take on Young.
We've heard how Yost is able to set his lineup with LH & RH hitters alternating throughout. He knows the advantages of pitching-hitting match-ups. For him to have a righty facing 2 dangerous veteran lefties is absolutely stupid!!
