Maybe this makes sense.  I remember a crucial call once when he threw his elbow out to block a throw to the plate when he was running home.  The umpires didn't call him out

He has a book out, right?  Sounds like he's trying to sell more copies.

Lorenzo Cain trying to sacrifice bunt with a runner on second, no outs down by a run in the bottom of the 8th.  Royals deserve to lose the series just for that.

Mets out of the 8th, in part because the Royals wasted two strikes trying to sacrifice bunt with their best hitter.  Yost is terrible.

Alex Gordon homers with 1 out in the 9th and takes Yost off the hook for the terrible sac bunt call.

Jon Niese pitching the 10th inning on his 29th birthday, and on the 29th anniversary of the last Mets World Series championship.

Royals have first and third, no outs in the 14th.  Mets intentionally walk Cain.  Six innings ago, the Royals tried to sacrifice Cain with a runner already in scoring position.

Hosmer sac fly ends game 1.  Royals work around bad managing.

Is there another manager out there who gets bailed out by his team as much as Yost?

Fox got a little carried away with some of their trivia in game one.   Were we supposed to get excited over the fact that somebody was the first player to come off the bench and have two hits and a stolen base in the same game? 

Joe Buck must be too polite to tell Harold Reynolds when he isn't making any sense.

He'd spend the whole broadcast telling him that.

I think Fox should hire Troy Aikman to do baseball color.

Funny on how having talent works that way.  Seriously, the more flexible and multi-tooled talent you have, the more you can try stupid things, and when they work, you look like a genius, and when they don't you're still liable to get bailed out by another player.

Bud Black is going to be the new Nationals manager.
