yost [yohst] -verb, yosted, yosting to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

A visit in the wayback machine:

Yost said he wasn't worried about pushing Cordero's limits.

"Nothing I can do about it," Yost said. "I don't really worry about it. I've got a lot of confidence that Cordero is going to do what it takes to get out of it."

Fortunately, Ned's a kinder, gentler manager now:

"I would never do that to anybody," Yost said. "I respect him as a player, I respect him as a person and he's got a family. I know how this business works, and he has to provide for his family, and I would never do anything to take away from that ability. I just couldn't live with myself. That's just not the type of person I am."

UPDATE: Haudricourt lays some of the blame on Sheets, but then lets the team off the hook with a half-hearted attempt to show how little Sheets gets in run support.

It hasn’t helped that Sheets’ run support has been scant for the most part. Over his last eight starts, the Brewers have scored two or fewer runs four times, with a total of 26 runs (3.25 per game).

26 runs in 8 starts? That's not so bad. Sheets needs to suck it up, right? Well, except that in the 5 losses, the Brewers scored only 8 runs. And if you go back one more loss, you can add another 0 run showing for the offense.

Sheets is struggling a bit recently, but very few pitchers are going to win games where the offense puts 1 or 2 runs on the board, and while I may need to go back to the rule book to verify this, I don't even think Sabathia can win the games where the Brewers score zero.

Shouse Tracker stands at 27-28.
