They like that he takes the heat and deflects it from them, even when they play poorly. Now players do question managers all the time, but not to the point that there would be any type of mutiny or outright hatred towards them in the majority of situations.

And I am not sure why you think they don't care. Or what the relationship is that you perceive to exist between not caring and questioning or not questioning the manager.

I always hear that argument about managers but c'mon if the manager is making decisions that are hurting the team he is making the job of the players even more difficult than it should be.

I'm just fed up as are the guys I was with and even though we played the game on a much much smaller level we played for managers that would not have moved a Butler from 6th back to 4th after only a few days of 6th beginning to show some promise,they would not have pulled a pitcher in a zone in the last inning of a 1-0 game because of a pitch count,they sure as hell wouldn't have moved a Butler from 4th to 3rd who was struggling again and would have given a bench guy a shot and on and on...

Sorry I'm rambling but I hate Yost,any manager that gets fired from a team getting ready to go into the play-offs should have never been rehired in the first place.

Agree or not it's my .02
