The parallels are there from my perspective.

Starts with GMDM and carries over to Yost.
1 of them if not some combination is responsible for the culture of complacency on this team. No accountability=players who don't give a ****.
I have to say Yost bears a slight more bit of the blame unless Moore is flat out setting the lineup every night. Yost kept\keeps running Butler out there night after night and not even a brief benching of him for a few games has happened, despite his terrible performance.
Escobar has yet to have a game off, Cain gets benched too often and to top it all off, somehow he thought batting Valencia in the #4 spot was a good idea.
That being said you have to look at GMDM and using the excuse of "Aoki was already on the team" for not signing Cruz after his price dropped. His hit-miss ratio on draft picks has been horrid as well.
Then you have the combo of GMDM\Yost on the entire hitting coach fiasco. Neither of these guys apparently know how to win. FFS, Yost is the onl ymanager in the history of baseball outside of a strike year, to get fired from a team in the middle of a playoff hunt in August!!!!!
