Pro Quality. Fan Perspective.

Yost, Dude.

c'mon, yost. i'm a fan of yours. but i have to qualify that, i'm a fan of you as a manager. yost, dude, you are making it way hard to defend you against the legions that call for your head. way hard. cause the self-righteous, defiant, holier-than-thou attitude we have to put up with over and over again makes us dislike you. and then we want you to fail.

can you just pretend to be on our side?

seriously. let's go through this... now, i'm going to have to make up the question, cause one of the tricks in journalism is to separate tasty quotes from the questions that were asked so that any kind of context can be created around it. for the sake of example, i'll pretend it's witrado asking the question.
Witrado: So, uh, Ned, do you like, worry about, like the credability of the blogs, when they suggest that, uh, like, uh, you know, you might get fired?

Ned (new palatable ned): Well, the fans have a right to be upset, so far this season the team has underperformed. It's not for lack of effort, but the results haven't been there. It's natural to want to hold somebody accountable, I'm not at all surprised that someone would, out of frustration, create a rumor to get a discussion going. Fans need to vent, too.
would that kill you, dude? man, it'd be a lot easier to get back to not intentionally walking too many guys, not sacrificing too often, using the hit and run, stolen base, and bunt attempts just enough to keep the other team guessing, and start winning some games. bottle it up, people want to see someone in control of their emotions, then they can believe you are in control of the clubhouse.

That was before

Ned’s interest in taxidermy came out.

Witrado: Ned, is it true that when you’re at home, all alone, and you need to relax, you like to take an unsuspecting, small woodland creature and mount it?
Yost: It’s just unlucky.

"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
