Yost, for the most part, seems VERY reluctant to pinch hit for anyone but the pitcher. I'm sure it has something to do with "teaching them how to battle" and being afraid to hurt their feelings. Yost is a player's manager, and while I can't ignore the obvious benefits of that (the guys obviously play hard for him) the downside is today's game. Despite having better options, Yost didn't want to pull the starters. As for Trent, he apparently got on Yost's good list, right along Helms and Bennet. Not really sure HOW you get on that list. What Yost does well, he does very well (motivator), but what he does bad (in game management)...... OUCH.
