The Yosted! Press Conference

Hey, did you hear?  Ned Yost was fired.

At 6:30 Central time (in about 5 minutes), they'll be having a press conference to fill in the blanks.  The thread is open!

[Note by battlekow, 09/15/08 11:01 PM CDT ] Over at Bernie's Crew, akittell has, amazingly, transcribed the entire press conference.

FACT: Ned Yost could use his inside contacts to work on a NASCAR pitcrew.

FACT: Said pitcrew would get Yosted when Ned leaves the tires on too long, or puts petro in the tailpipe.

FACT: Crashes and NASCAR deaths would skyrocket past the current, 2.5 deaths per NASCAR event.

FACT: Congress would shut down NASCAR.

FACT: NASCAR would no longer need gas, thus increasing the overall supply.

I'm pretty sure we won't get any good soundbites in the next week or so

But i can’t wait for some offseason and spring training interviews asking players about Yost and his effect on the team.

"He's been very, very impressive," Yost said. "I mean really impressive. I mean really, really impressive."

by MadJimiBrewha on Sep 15, 2008 7:19 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Yost was in a no-win situation with some of his players, according to Hardy.

“Whatever he did, some of the players were looking at him too much,” Hardy said. “If he was quiet and in the corner, they thought, ‘Maybe he’s nervous and he doesn’t want to say anything.’ If he was snapping his fingers and talking, it was like, ’He’s nervous because he’s snapping his fingers.‘

"Whatever he did, I feel like a lot of players were thinking that way, that it was a nervous reaction. I honestly think he did a lot better this year than last year, but it got to the point with some players that they weren’t even looking for the good.”

So what do you think?

They started kicking the idea around in earnest after the Mets sweep, fired Kremblas, had Yount meet them in Philadelphia, and after the latest sweep to the Phils, the decision was made last night?

I wonder how much pressure was put to bear on Moustache by Mark A to fire Yost? I’m sure there was some, but I wonder how much Melvin had to fight, or how much he agrees/disagrees with the decision. I have a hard time thinking DM would be ok with firing the managers with 12 games to go on his own.
