Part of me says that I hate the formula of automatically bringing in the closer in the 9th inning. Would have been nice to send Kelvin Herrera back out for the 9th inning. If you keep changing pitchers when everybody is pitching well, eventually you're going to put in a pitcher who won't. Mendoza, Crow and Herrera all pitched well.
But then I remember the last Royals manager who deviated from the standard closer formula was Trey ****ing Hillman, the idiot who destroyed Gil Meche's arm. |

Oh well. In two months when they're 12 games back this won't even be remembered.

He was walking guys and struggling to hit the plate the ump was squeezing him and wasn't likely to give him any help should have been pulled after the 2nd walk He wasn't so Holland basically only has once choice ... start grooving it and cross his fingers Yost should of bailed him out ... he didnt because it's not in the baseball handbook just stupid ...

Holland is likely going to be fine. The Royals are likely still going to be mediocre. Everything is normal in the world. |

I'd like to see Herrera get a shot at closer. Dude has looked nasty so far.

Why not let Crow pitch the 8th and if he gets in trouble, bring Herrerea. If he clears the 8th, bring Holland. If Holland starts to stink up the 9th then you have Herrera in reserve. But nooooooo.... |

This loss is definitely on Yost. You don't bring in a RH to face the numbers 3 & 4 LH hitters. RH Herrera threw only 13 pitches in the 8th and had 2 strikeouts so, if he's gonna have a righty out there, stick with the hot hand. LH Tim Collins was the best option; then, if he's in trouble after facing Utley and Howard, bring in Holland to take on Young.
We've heard how Yost is able to set his lineup with LH & RH hitters alternating throughout. He knows the advantages of pitching-hitting match-ups. For him to have a righty facing 2 dangerous veteran lefties is absolutely stupid!! |

No one is doing that, so you kinda have to go with it. If one day some Royals manager does what no one else in the world wants to do, we can support that decision then. (though I'm sure the ignorant Royals fans who casually follow the team will yell about this new-fangled idea of not having a closer)
