Belly would rat him out for a bakers dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts I'd bet

If anyone knows Ned Yost, could you please deliver these messages to him?
1. David Lough is good at baseball. He doesn't need two or three days off every week. 2. Chris Getz is not good at baseball. He should never play. Ever. 3. Jamey Carroll is also not good at baseball. He should play rarely; perhaps occasionally against left-handed pitchers. 4. Louis Coleman is by far the best option for set-up man. He has earned an opportunity to pitch in games that are not 9-1 in the 6th inning. 5. Kelvin Herrera sucks at set-up man. He gives up home runs. 6. Lead-off hitters, in general, should have an OBP higher than .250. 7. Jarrod Dyson should attempt steals when he is on base. Especially if he's being used as a pinch runner. Especially when the offense has been terrible and needs a spark. Especially when you are playing the horrible, horrible White Sox and letting them sweep you. 8. Aaron Rodgers is better than Matt Flynn. Similarly, Danny Duffy is better than Wade Davis. |

9. Carlos Pena should never, ever bat. Especially not as a pinch hitter in the 9th inning of the biggest game of the year. |

10. You don't play for ties on the road 11. Just because you have 40 players on the roster doesn't mean each one has to play in every close game. This isn't little league. 12. David Lough can play a passable CF if needed for a few innings

Good to see Lough and Moose on the bench while Carroll and Getz start again.

Being a manager in MLB would be tough, more to it then meets the eye.
If I was manager I would be PMing some of you guys on what my roster lineup should be, who should I bring up, should I bring in Crowe or Hochevar etc. I would make it up to you by getting you some tickets to the games and I would have you meet Hudler to boot. |

Another great series of moves by Ned in the 9th. This guy has cost us at least 3 games.

Jayson Stark was on Petro's show wondering what the hell Ned was thinking in the 9th inning.
Also, one tidbit: He said he knows for a fact that Charlie Manuel would LOVE to manage the Royals. |

Please God don't let him make it to spring training next year. Thanks for helping get us to a point where we're competitive, but it's time to take the next step. Ned has got to go to get us there. Hopefully at the end of the season he gets his walking papers.

I no longer buy the theory that a manager is only worth a few games each year. maybe that is the difference between a great one and an average one. But an incompetent one is destroying the Royals. Not to mention a few games is the difference between making the playoffs or not at this point. Can you imagine what Terry Francona would have done with this team? He took a completely shitty organization in the Indians with like zero pieces and turned them into a playoff contender over night.
