Ned made the right move.
In a tie game at home you bring in your closer in the 9th. |

The game today was lost because of Shields poor start, and the offense's inability to capitalize in the 8th inning.

Ned Yost bashers:
"OMFG, WHY DID HE PINCH RUN FOR BUTLER?! THAT MEANT SLAP-DICK AOKI CAME UP IN HIS SPOT LATER!" "THAT FREAKING YOST, NO WAY HE SHOULD'VE WENT TO HOLLAND IN THE 9TH, ANY MORON COULD'VE SEEN THAT INNING COMING!" Only CP. |

Between that and not pinch running for Billy when he was on first, Yost can eat a steaming shit sammich. |

I'm not a Yost basher per se, but it's all true. Yost pissed down his leg and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory with those two moves.

Maybe Al or Duncan have a stat showing just how successful making the move to the closer in a tied game in the ninth really is. Just by watching this team, it rarely works. |

Hopefully when we need Holland tomorrow, he'll be able. After 30 pitches today, and the next day also...in fact, why don't we just give him a start?

Tell us all how a closer is supposed to save a game in extra innings at home. |

Hence the reason why said closer, typically a teams best reliever, pitches in the 9th inning when tied at home. There is no save situation.
