Royals my phone died last night while I was in a Ned Yost fit of rage - Page 4

Hootie · 10-24-2015, 08:24 AM

but the funniest thing, for me, this postseason is simple

there was a GDT this year where I, of course, spent 2 ****ing hours arguing about a fly ball to CF where Jirschele didn't sent Morales from 3rd with Kiermaier in centerfield with 0 outs ...

and about 5 people concluded ...

MIKE JIRSCHELE WAS GOING TO LOSE US POSTSEASON GAMES.

And we'll end this thread there.

Because he makes mind numbing decisions that even children can see.

IMO, and I may very well be proven wrong next year due to Ned's retirement, the Royals win in spite of Ned instead of because of Ned.

Good night

What a game.

But again, I'll never get over the fact Ned let Madson pitch to Jose Bautista, the tying run, with 5 outs left up 2 when our next game would be ON TUESDAY.

You give the ball to Wade ... and if he loses, he loses. Nothing to gripe about. Their best guys beat our best guy.

Indefensible, and it's stuff like that that will prevent Ned from ever being the game's elite manager.

Ned's an idiot.

He's not good enough to be a set up man for a World Series team like Yost thinks he is. Potato, potahto, whatever you want to call it.

In this series, unless we have a sizable lead, he should never pitch against top order batters, and Herrera needs to take his spot as the 8th inning guy. That's basically what I've been saying all postseason.

And it's possible that we should even give the 7th inning to Hoch, but I'm not adamant about it.

you didn't watch many Royals games this season, correct?

Fireable? Really?

Two World Series. Enough said.

About 60-70 regular season games if I had to guess.

I saw all of the nationally televised games, all of the Twins games (because I had them on my local Fox Sports network) and whichever ones I had time to illegally stream while doing work at the office.

Hootie · 10-24-2015, 12:54 PM

well Madson was great this year.

Better than Herrera.

Blue Jays had his number.

I trust him implicitly against the Mets

Of course this thread is kind of ironic for all the shit that Hootie gave Cardinal fans about Mathney all year.

?

how so?

Ned Yost made a terrible managerial decision that EVERYONE knew was terrible as it was happening.

Does Mike Matheny have Wade Davis?

Cardinals fans think Matheny should yank Trevor Rosenthal at the first sign of trouble. They are ridiculous.

I'm rational. I get mad when Yost makes incorrect decisions. I don't get mad when Yost makes decisions. See the difference?

You obviously don't remember the Whitey Herzog era.

He won multiple titles but could never get over the hump. Once he was fired, the Royals were in the World Series the following year and won it a few years later.

Sometimes, the talent covers the mistakes of the manager.

I suppose, but Ned's reasoning wasn't horrible. Davis was very ill. Ned didn't want to have to pitch him on both sides of a rain delay. Of course, he ended up doing just that and it worked, but his reasoning wasn't completely insane.

I remember it very well.

The hyperbole here is over the top ridiculous. Two years ago no one thought there was any shot of going to the WS anytime soon. Now we have done it two years in a row and people are still wanting to fire the manager.

He was sick and a rain delay was CLEARLY coming. Good God, people, context.

I'll never understand the issue with batting Esky leadoff. He clearly does better at that position in the lineup.

Firing Ned is definitely a bit strong but it's also possible that once Ned retires (which is supposedly is going to happen after the World Series), the Royals might actually improve.

It's also possible that they fall apart but I don't think that's likely, especially if they hire someone with a very high baseball acumen and not a newbie.
