JS Online: Headhunters no surprise to Yost

Milwaukee: Land of a thousand dances...around questions.

Ned Yost expressed no surprise that it only took a six-game losing streak for some people to start calling for his skin.

“It doesn’t surprise me a bit,” the Milwaukee Brewers’ manager said Friday upon returning home after his reeling club was swept in both Houston and Florida. “It doesn’t concern me, really, or bother me.”

Why doesn’t it bother Yost?

“The thing that matters is that the people who know the game understand what’s going on,” said Yost, who was being skewered on radio shows and message boards. “You’re not going to make everybody happy. There’s no way.

“You have to know in your heart that you’re doing everything you can do, that you’re not cutting any corners. My entire focus is on the players and this organization. It’s not productive (to listen to the critics).

“If you look where we’ve come from, six years ago, it’s a process but we’re definitely taking steps forward. You can’t make everyone happy.”
