We were ****ing 17-13 when he decided to move Gordon, for whatever reason. We have won 4 games since.
17 with him the leadoff
4 since he has moved
Some will argue that's an irrelevant move and I will call BS flat out on it. Escobar was hitting good behind Gordon and ahead of Butler. Now he has gone to pot.
In other words at the first sign of a losing streak longer than 2 games, Yost became the "Nervous Ned" we all heard about and ****ed with what wasn't broken, for the most part.
Just like how he pulled Shields when he really had no reason too.

You are mainly arguing with emotion here. Moving Gordon to #3 and Getz to #1 is not irrelevant, but over the course of a couple weeks, it wont amount to even one-tenth of one expected loss.
Over the course of an entire season, the difference between a perfect lineup and the most awful lineup you could possibly constuct that no sane person would use, is about 4 or 5 losses. In an entire year. In a few weeks, the difference, at most, is less than 1 win. Our lineup is not the ideal lineup we should use, but its pretty far from the worst.
