No one would be available, under any circumstances whatsoever in the real world, to relieve Holland after the 3rd batter. Then Holland gets the 4th and 5th guy out, no one is going to relieve him then. There is absolutely no way to blame this fiasco on Yost. Sometimes, you have to blame the players, even if you wish every single loss could always be laid at the feet of the manager.

Everyone could see he wasn't just walking people, he was struggling with his control. During the 1st walk, you start to worry During the 2nd walk, you get somebody warming up after the 2nd walk, you start playing games to delay to give time for someone else You don't say 'screw it' Hard enough for us to win without giving up on games just because of some stupid tradition

Yes, don't get me wrong Holland is dirty, and one hell of a talented pitcher. Herrera is just flat unhittable when he's on, and can overpower even the best hitters. Perfect closer.

During first walk you start to worry? WTF? Then you get someone up while he's pitching to the second hitter? And that guy is going to be ready after one batter? This is just too much. |

You are asking for, not a competent manager, but for someone who is relatively an innovative genius.

Last year Holland had an ERA of 11+ in March/April, then dominated the rest of the year. Maybe he's not comfortable in colder weather?

there's a reason he's not in baseball. Leave it to the real baseball personnel.
