Maybe so, but either way they both have been awful at the plate lately. Giving them a day off to reset isn't really a big deal. [Reply]

Surely you don’t mean that in reference to this board? A lot of people here shredded Ned during the WS runs, let alone the years since then. Hell, this board may have created the term “Yosted”. [Reply]

I don't mean all-time...I mean lately...just like I said. DM has been getting hammered a lot this year...and that's fair. But rarely do I read a peep on Yost. Maybe people just think that as goes DM, so goes Yost...so pushing eject on DM means Yost goes as well. Right now, I'm more concerned in development and I have no qualms about giving DM another year or maybe 2 to get the roster constructed for a run. But I have zero patience for Yost. He's coasting. I want a manager that's hungry and can get the most out of his given roster. Does anyone really think Yost qualifies? Perhaps everyone's just terrified that Matheny is next up. [Reply]

A lot of truth to what you said there . . . . . . [Reply]

So managers really make much of a difference ?
Put Yost on the Astros and they still have 75 wins
Put Hinch on the Royals and they have maybe 4-5 more wins. [Reply]
