The exchange between ChiefsandO's and lew is the exact reason why Ned is to blame. Yes, MLB managers are the least impactful of any major sport (right next to soccer), but Yost has done a tremendous job of arguing against that wisdom. If a player doesn't want to watch his at-bats, tough-- Yost needs to sit his ass down and demand it. If your team is laughing through the 10th straight abysmal season (yes, AN ENTIRE DECADE OF MISERY), the manager needs heads to roll, leaving no cow too sacred for the butcher. Unfortunately for Ned, heads rolling comes in the form of suggesting the players don't fraternize with the opponents. That's like a mother reprimanding a disrespectful son for acting out by only allowing her son to play XBox without the headset and mic; you're not really inflicting any hardship. This entire organization has the collective manhood of a eunuch colony, and it starts at the Glass prostate, a festering cancer that seems to be completely content seeing no action ever, as long as the pieces are still technically functional. It's absurd.
