Ned Yost's legacy will consist of not being able to utilize a 25-man major league roster through a season. His handling of a pitching staff was horrendous. Game after game, replacing pitchers who were getting people out with pitcher's who couldn't. Trotting the same lineup out day after day like it was a grade-school recess roll call producing the same slumping result. Correct game-time strategies to produce runs when the power was obviously out were non-existent. Ignoring late-inning defensive replacements creating losses. The Brewers may not be able to beat the Cubs ofter enough now to get the Wild Card, but their chances are certainly better with Ned spitting his sunflower seeds out into the back yard.
