Why Yost Brings This Upon Himself

I often wonder whether I and 97% of all Brewer fans are too critical of Neddy Yost. Managers typically take way too much blame for their team losing, and very little credit when they win (unless you are Joe Torre). But time after time, he makes things worse for himself by not having a filter between his brain and his mouth. Now, he is not a Ozzie Guillen type, who also doesn't have a filter, but every other word out of his mouth starts with an F and ends in U-C-K. No, Yost is a George W. Bush type, who is by all accounts a dipshit, who doesn't think before he talks, and then gets all upset and snippy when you question his decision making.

Last night for instance, his move to remove Villanueva after a scorching 10 pitch 7th for Mota was questionable. BUT, none of us REALLY know what is going on behind the scenes, so even though the move obviously didn't work out, he could have said something after the game to make the move make sense. He could have said, Carlos was tired (which would have been a lie because he was rested), could have said he like Mota matching up against these particular hitters, or he could have admitted he fucked up and in the heat of the moment Mike Maddux told him to make the change. Instead, as he usually does, he unleashes some non-sensical, bullshit, beauty like this:

"Mota's been our eighth-inning pitcher the majority of the year," said
Yost. "We went to our eighth-inning pitcher."

Had the Brewers gotten Kendall home, Yost said he would have stuck with
Villanueva another inning. Why?
"It's not a save situation," Yost
explained.

Really Ned? Really? It's not a fucking save situation? Well Neddy, except in very unique circumstances (and last night certainly wasn't one of them), the fucking 8TH INNING IS NEVER A SAVE SITUATION!!!! What the fuck are you talking about? I'm not totally ripping his move, I wouldn't have done it. I would have left Villa in, and had Mota warm just in case, but I can't question the move itself. Not every move works, bullpens will blow games. But when a move goes wrong, you piss everyone off by acting like a pompous dick when you are asked a simple question about it. And then you wonder why everyone wants your ass fired.

He also said later: "We didn't give anything away tonight." Another quote that has no adequate reaction. You just gave up a three run lead in the last two innings, when your ace pitched well, against a team that has one of the worst records in baseball, when you had a chance to get a road win that have been few and far between all year, and when it was all caused by a questionable decision by you, and you didn't give anything away. I guess he blacked out in the 8th too.

I just want a manager that is going to shut the fuck up, admit his mistakes, not
make childish quotes to the media, not play favorites (Weeks) and not make a
stupid decision every three games.
