The Milwaukee Brewers made a move today that leaves me scratching my head with wonder. There is only 12 games left in the season yet Brewers brass decided to fire manager Ned Yost today. I completely understand the Brewers have lost 7 of their last 8 games and I get Milwaukee tanked at the end of last year, but does it make sense to pull the plug this late in the season? Milwaukee hasn’t made the playoffs since 1982 so that has to be one of the major factors in the decision process to let Yost go and promote third base coach Dale Sveum to acting manager. The Brewers are tied with the Phillies in the Wild Card standings so we will know in two weeks if this was the right decision.
This was a drastic move from a desperate team. However, it won’t help the Brewers make the playoffs because they can’t close out a game due to their shotty bullpen.
this is awesome.. gutsy move and if it pans out they get to the playoffs.. look out
