"""way to take a strike to get a runner.... great job...Yost """Wait, so Yost is a player-manager now? That's amazing!""" You missed the point. No of course Yost is not the hitter. But with the correct approach, (which should have been instilled by a manager) the hitter should know that I'm to take a strike OR ELSE MY MANAGER WILL BE TICKED OFF AT ME!)..That is what I was saying in another post, that the Brewers need a manager that will light a fire under the team. Yost is NOT that guy. And then also, I believe that Drew Olson was sortof saying the same thing in his article. You wouldn't see a Cardinal player not taking a strike in the bottom of 9 with a 2-0 count down by 5. And a horrible pitch selection (down and in); it's not even like that pitch was fat. I bet you, Yost didn't even say anything to the beloved pinch hitter for it.
