Just for the record: I count 11 LOSSES where Yost left the starting pitcher in with >80 pitches and the starter gave up sufficient runs to cause a loss.

The above was only starting pitchers and losses so it doesn't include games where the offense overcame Yost's ****ups or when he left relievers in too long or when he left struggling pitchers in under 85 pitches.

I think half would be about right.

It is a different game. Plus now there's so much money involved, that doesn't help either. You invest tens of millions of dollars in a pitcher and he blows his arm out and it's on your head. Look at Prior and Wood. Or even with the Royals, Gil Meche. Here was a starter who could post a sub-4 ERA in the American League, Hillman blew him out and he was never the same guy again, ever.

Tk13 hits the nail on the head. Apples and oranges. Why compare?

Its tough to quantify, but yost has a well established deficiency with respect to bullpen management.
