Holland needs to produce or be gone. There is no time for coddling the psyche to the point of losing when it didn't need to take place ESPECIALLY for a very weak ego team that needs all the confidence early on it can get. The Royals don't have that 'winner's moxy' ego yet to afford and endure 1 player pissing it all away just for the sake of learning what he needs to work on ? Seriously ??
Yost is not reading the psychological context of his team correctly here and 'thinks' he has the team ego that can afford to go 1-4. WRONG !!!
