Ned Yost egregious mistake tracking thread

[BTS]

The worst manager in baseball should provide us with endless entertainment.

 

1. Alex Gordon hitting 8th in game 1.

2. Alcides Escobar leading off in game 1.

Does playing Rios over Dyson qualify?

Thought about it, but Rios has at least been hitting a bit so I gave him a break. I'm sure there will be some highly questionable bunts later on tonight though.

I feel like it is better when put like this.

Outside game 5 vs Astros, don't think he's really hit.

Over the last two years:

 

Gordon = 122 wRC+ in 1065 PA (120 vs. RHP)

Escobar = 80 wRC+ in 1282 PA (74 vs. RHP)

 

Leading Escobar off is absurd, but he's probably not the only manager who would hit the fast contact guy first. Doing while batting Gordon 8th is not even believable. I can't even wrap my head around the fact that he's hit Alex Gordon 8th all through the playoffs.

YES awesome idea.

 

I think we should wait until after the game to see if those are bad moves what if alcides rakes

Nah. There is a 100% certainty that this series will be littered with awful Ned Yost decisions.

[bronson44]

Great thread. Should exceed 50 pages.

Well I guess thats true it's a mistake as of right now.

[Dick_Pole]

Letting his team get this far to be crushed and embarrassed by the Jays instead of just bowing out gracefully at the hands of the Astros.

Don Wakamatsu is his right hand man, so you can expect some really awful calls for sac bunts in the second inning of a game.

[L54]

Can't see who starts threads on mobile but I knew this was a BTS thread because of the word egregious. Great thread, will be hard to keep on top of.

they better hit the jays big boppers then, cause if they miss out over the inner half of the plate the fans in left field will be dodging line drives.

[Travis_Snider]

I approve of ned yost mistake thread

[Travis_Snider]

 

I don't think that is a good strategy lol

It's a good thing he doesn't have Figgins and Ichiro to double sac a single over to third in the second inning.

Yost os a genius. Escobar lead off was a great Idea.

[Grant77]

Leaving in Volquez to face Encarnacion with 2 on and none out.

Came here to post this. I turned on my TV and Volquez is facing Cola for a 3rd time with two on 105 pitches into his start. Egregious.

[Laika]

Can we do Gibbons too?

 

Goins hit down 3-0 in the 7th

Goins hit down 5-0 in the 9th

 

No excuse
