I agree with your sentiment on attendence for the most part, but remember, the final home series this season is against the cubs. I have tried to remain objective toward Yost and the onfield performance. A manager can affect the onfield performance of the team. There have been a couple of recent situations where calls went against the Brewers, the stolen base attempt in Pittsburgh where the ball popped free of the Pirate's third baseman's glove and Cameron was still called out and the home run call this afternoon. These instances could have been situations where Yost could have stood up for his players, blown a gaskett, kicked some dirt, and fired up the team. Showing he would do what he could to affect what goes on between the lines. Instead, he argued mildly, and walked away. Almost like he didn't want to risk a fine for getting tossed because he was worried about future income. Remember, last season the cubs were floundering early on. On June 2nd, Lou Pinella went crazy, kicking his hat around and getting tossed, and subsequently suspended for 4 games. At that time, the cubs were 22-31. They went 16-8 over the next 24 games leading them into the fateful series in Chicago against the Brewers. This is the series where Ramirez homered off of Cordero. I'm not wishing Yost turns into Pinella, but some emotion when you feel the team is getting the short end of the call can influence the way your team responds and plays.
