Ned Yost is a strategical genious. These were the words of a caller on the PGS the other noght. A strategical genious indeed. So obsessed with the lefty, lefty and righty, righty junk is Yost that he takes the ball and puts in the hands of one of his coldest pitchers in the top of the ninth. And then, in a moment of shear genious, he brilliantly removes the bat from the hottest hitter on his team. Above all, he kept the righties and lefties properly alligned in the sky of the baseball stars. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO LET A GUY HIT CAUSE HE'S HOT. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO LET A GUY PITCH CAUSE HE'S HOT. AAAAHHHH!!! *This is not a Ned hater post. I've read some of the other stuff and I'm not going there with this one. I do believe he is overly obsessed with "matchups" I once heard an interview that asked Ned what he does when he can't find a statistical reason to keep a guy in or out. His reply, "I find another layer." At some point, you have to go with your gut.
