"This was a very difficult move to make, and we appreciate all of the work that Ned has done to develop this team into a contender," general manager Doug Melvin said in a statement. "In the end, this was a collaborative decision made to put our club in the best position for the final two weeks of the season."I always liked Ned Yost, When he got here the Brewers were horrible. I still like the man, but I couldn't figure him out as a Manager. He would stick with guys when everyone else knew, they just didn't have it.
He stuck with Turnbow to the demise of the team last year. Even kept him around for quite awhile this year. My guess is Melvin made the call to send him packing. Then this year Melvin brought in Ray Durham, yet Yost stuck with Ricky Weeks. Weeks had a dismal on base percentage of .34. Weeks has 14 errors compared to Durhams 3. Not to mention that Durham is hitting .287 compared to Weeks at .233.
Yost has a history of not holding players accountable for their on field actions. How many times can the squeeze be called and somebody miss the sign? Oh well, next time he will do better. A player go up to bunt and never get it down? Yost failed to put the best team on the field day in and day out.
The Players are in a slump right now!!! Yes it is the players that are in the slump, but from the way it looks Yost didn't have any idea of how to break out of it, the team looks lost.
I don't know what will happen from here, but I hope that the Brewers can put something together and make it an exciting last 12 games of the year.
