Does anyone else see Ned Yost beginning to cost the Brewers’ ballgames? I’m starting to get disgusted. In the opener against the Philles, after a leadoff double by Craig Counsell in the top of the 7th inning, Yost continues to play his agressive hand and send Counsell, who of course gets picks off with the top of the order coming up. That made me mad, but after a scuffling Rickie Weeks shot a base hit up the middle I was infuriated. Why is Ned Yost playing so agressive? There’s absolutely no need for it 80% of the time. Yost had gotten lucky on a couple of occasions (double steal against the Cards), but after that he has struck out almost every time. The basic point is that there’s no need to be over-agressive when you have a guy on 2nd and no outs. Especially after the way the Brewers were swinging the bats the entire game. That was just the start of a overall disappointing loss. In the bottom of the 8th, Yost elected to put left-hander Brian Shouse in the game with three right-handed batters coming up. Why? Yost is usually the one to play the matchups. I swear Yost is beginning to catch Mike Sherman disease. Constantly playing conservatively. It’s frustrating me. Then of Shouse gives up back-to-back hits, Yost finally brings in Turnbow, who is in a tough spot and gives up 4 earned, and the Brewers lose the game. These are the games I’m just so sick of seeing. Blowing the lead when it could have been totally avoided. Bring in Turnbow to start the 8th and there would have been no problem—guaranteed. Ned Yost, get some better advice from Dale Sveum in the future because I can’t take any more of these games. That’s why this team has been terrible the last decade.
