Little blurb on Yost from Bernie at the Post Dispatch.
* Finally: can someone of sound mind in Kansas City explain why Ned Yost still is managing the Royals? This is absolutely baffling to me. You see the bizarre strategy decisions and nonsensical lineup construction. You see highly touted young players regressing instead of getting better. You see the Royals sinking when they’re supposed to be rising.
And this is a same guy who had a terrific team in Milwaukee but was so awful in leading the team down the stretch that he got fired with 12 games to go. (Remember how easily
Tony La Russa goaded and baited Yost into losing his mind during games?) The Brewers elevated
Dale Sveum to interim manager with less than two weeks to go; he saved the season and got the Brewers into a wild card spot. Yost is 231-302 as the Royals manager and his team is failing to evolve into what it can be.
