I told myself I was going to give fan-favorite Ned Yost a break for awhile. We all know my thoughts on him. I have definitely blogged enough about the guy. However I was looking at box scores today and noticed really how bad the Brewer's batting averages are horrible. Only Corey Hart and Tony Gwynn are batting above 300, that is horrible. Why is Weeks still leading off? Corey Hart did awesome there last year, and he is actually hitting the ball this year. Why hasn't Kappler gone back as the center fielder, outside of 3 home runs Cameron only has 6 other hits. (Yes I said six) That team needs a shake up. It starts with Yost getting a pink slip, but they also need to play their best players. Weeks is useless, Cameron is useless, Hardy is struggling, Fielder is struggling. I still think Fielder and Hardy have a place on the team, but they should be batting 6 and 7 respectively or 7, 8. Then again if Yost can't read it in managing for dummies, he won't do it.
Update: I just witnessed Hart hitting a double and and then Yost had him steal third, he was picked off, and then Hall hit a home run. Why steal third?
Update: The Brewer announcers use the stupid phrase "dialed in" way too much. Count how many times they say "Ryan Braun is really dialed in at the plate today." or "Be careful if Prince gets dialed in, this game could be tied quickly." Moments ago one announcer told they other that he (the announcer) was really "dialed in" because he was having so many great jokes. Lame.
I am officially putting that phrase On Notice.

I think sample size has a lot to do with the Cameron/Kapler thing. Those 63 ABs that Kapler has are probably the best that he has had in his time. Not to mention the fact that Kapler built a whole career into one month. In thirteen less at bats, Cameron has one less home run and 4 less driven in.
Wow you are really dialed in on blogging today
