Ned manages...to win the game! You play...to win the game.

If Ned was managing to win the game, Madsen does not see the field.

If that was truly the reasoning, the Hoch should have come in after Madsen.

Are you guys talking about 2016 American League All-Star Team Manager Ned Yost?

Shouldn't this be the love thread? And shouldn't Ned be hired as a consultant across the way?

I like Ned Yost.
Last night was an indefensible decision. It is where he really struggles at managing. He'll never learn. But again, I like Ned Yost. Players would kill for him and that's the most important part of your job as manager. |

Here we see CP.
Yost was supposed to suddenly depart from the same thing that has been working all along, with the way he manages the bullpen - manages to make them the best bullpen in baseball, by the way - and if it hadn't worked, CP would have crucified him for it. Yost was supposed to send Davis out for what would have been a 2 inning save in which he'd have to navigate the heart of their order, and which would have turned out to have an hour delay in between. With most fans, Madson vs Davis is one of those decisions where if it works you're a genius and if it doesn't, you're an idiot. In this case it all worked out in the end, but on CP he's still an idiot. Yost sticking with his guys until the end and having his players backs to the point where they'd run through a brick wall for him is important. This team's chemistry and their attitude of never shrinking back from adversity or a challenge is WHY the team is where it is. Because you can never mentally beat them, you can never put them away before the last out is recorded, and that means a lot. Yost has a steady hand, and he didn't do exactly what people almost killed him for last year with Ventura coming on in relief - and they still want to kill him. It's just a CP/hindsight/50-50 thing. |

He was well enough to come in and pitch 5 outs after Madsen shit himself...so he was well enough to start the inning.
You are 6 outs from the World Series. Madsen has given up 5 runs in 5 1/3 innings and Toronto has had his number all year. If you are not going to bring in Wade, then at least bring in Hoch who had a great series.

I like him too....but sometimes he makes some really bad decisions. It is the price you pay for having Ned....this team would not have sniffed the post season the last two years without Ned.

I think it was defensible.

Dayton Moore needs a statue outside of the K.
Ned's statue can be down at Dayton's feet kissing them for giving him the best bullpen I will ever see. Something Ned can't even **** up. Dayton Moore is God. |
