Today In Brewer History: Happy Anniversary, Ned Yost
On this day in 2002, the Brewers officially hired Braves coach Ned Yost to be 15th manager in franchise history. Yost had been a Brewer from 1980-83 and a minor league manager, bullpen and third base coach for the Braves before being hired to replace Jerry Royster in Milwaukee. Here's what Dale...
Are Coaching Staff Changes a Sign That Ned Yost is Here to Stay?
Today the Royals announced that "bench coach John Gibbons and pitching coach Bob McClure will not be in the Kansas City dugout next season." Presumably, this is because they will not be allowed to come back, and not merely because the team has foreseen the future and believe that each man will die,...
Ned Yost's Little League Moments
A few days ago, Ned Yost told the official site this: "I'm going to play Melky until he gets 201, I'm not stopping at 200," Yost said. "I want 201."

An Encouraging Early Sign: Ned Yost is Using the Right Relievers
I'm going to write this post now, while it is still possible to do so... For now, the Royal bullpen looks not only good, but also well-managed.

If I Was Making A Movie About The 2010 Royals And Could Only Use Songs From The 1994 R.E.M. Album Monster For The Soundtrack
Brought to you by the people who brought you the other stuff in the back of my storage bins. "What's The Frequency, Kenneth?" (Youtube link): A nervous Brian Bannister gets in a late night argument with Jose Guillen about what stats are important on a charter flight. Trey Hillman texts Dayton...
Royal Pitchers Under Ned Yost: Starters Bad, Relievers Good
Heading into this series, I was under the impression that the pitching had improved under Yost, and that that was why the Royals were winning. However, that is, at best, only partially true. Since Yost took over, the Royals are 6th in the AL in runs scored (a tick above league average with the...
Brewers Bloggers Pass Along The Skinny On Ned Yost
I emailed Jack Moore of Disciples of Uecker and Kyle Lobner of Brew Crew Ball about Ned Yost. Their responses are definitely worth checking out. So if you're interested in learning more about "Nervous Ned"... Jack Moore of Disciples of Uecker: It's important to remember that Yost was a manager...
Breaking: Royals Fire Trey Hillman, Hire Ned Yost
So much for a normal day... so much for a normal evening for me. Who was it that predicted they'd hire Ned Yost? I know I read that somewhere on here a few days ago. Ned Yost... well, alright. Don't fully see the point. I'm not sure why Dayton would want to remind people of Milwaukee, since their...
