Yost, entering his sixth year, previously worked as a coach under Cox, but managing in his first pennant race, he did not show the same gift for handling pressure as his former mentor. One member of last year's team says Yost added to the tension by holding meetings before every series down the stretch. Yost also had a dugout altercation with catcher Johnny Estrada and infielder Tony Graffanino in August and engaged in a costly beanball exchange with the Cardinals in late September.
The greater issue, perhaps, was Yost's bullpen management: The Brewers tied for the major-league lead by losing 16 games after leading by three or more runs — and 12 of those defeats, according to Baseball Prospectus, occurred after July 28, indicating that the bullpen simply wore down.
Melvin responded by acquiring pitchers who could work more than one inning — Salomon Torres, Guillermo Mota, David Riske — as complements to new closer Eric Gagne. The Brewers' defense also should be much-improved. If Ben Sheets stays healthy, Yost will have more reason to relax — he will be managing one of the best teams in the NL.
The part in bold was predicted by just about every Brewer fan around here come late May.
Good article. Sums up the issues quite well.
