Brewers Fire Yost...the Chicago Way

Submitted by Cubnut on

Dan Fox offers a historical perspective on the Brewers' firing of Ned Yost while in the thick of the race for the post-season.

Turns out the 1932 Cubs were the first team to change managers mid-season (Rogers Hornsby out; Charlie Grimm in) and then go on to win the pennant. The 1938 Cubs repeated the maneuver (Grimm out; Gabby Hartnett in) and again, the result was a National League championship.

Cub-related names are all over this phenomenon:

Jim Frey, who steered the Cubs to the 1984 NL East title, was canned by the Royals on their way to the second half AL West title in the strike-shortened 1981 season.

And also in 1981, Yankees manager Gene Michael, who managed the Cubs for part of the 1987 season, was replaced by Bob Lemon, whose team went on to capture the AL pennant.

All in all, the Brewers' situation sounds like a complete mess, orchestrated by an impetuous owner.

I hope Mark Cuban never does anything like this to us.

Actually, they're segregated in church. Women on one side, men on the left. But no, they don't go out on modern-type dates. They slip away during barn-raisings and, if they're naughty, hold hands.

While I think that Yost is an idiot everyone over looks the fact that... THE BREWERS ARE NOT A GOOD TEAM! Prince Fielder is one dimensional and way overrated. Ryan Braun is a very good player but is not as good as last year would make you believe. His line this year: .290 .335 .564 is going to be his career line. Very good. But not: .324 .370 .634 Which he put up last year. JJ Hardy is a good player as is Corey Hart. Besides that the rest of the team is weak. Very weak. Then there is the pitching staff. Yes, CC is great as is Sheets. But besides that, the rest of them are garbage. I mean terrible. And yes, I know they are missing a young quality pitcher in Gallardo (sp?) but even then, if their starters can't go the distance, you are never out of a game with them. Screw the Brewers! I hate them more than the Cardinals.

Blah blah blah overrated; they have a chance. Plenty of "hot" teams get in the PS and stay there not because they're all that, but because they're hot at the right time.Last year's Colorado Rockies anyone? 2006 Cards? I'm not taking anyone lightly. look how bad we've been.

    he's a low-level cubs star in the modern history of the cubs (c.zambrano, k.wood, r.dempster, etc), but that star has dimmed...and has been dimming since 2021.

    2024 has been ugly the whole way and we're only in mid-april.  homers aside (even though there's been 7 in 17ip) he gave up 29 hits in 20 spring innings and 31 in 17 regular season innings.

    he's pretty much only got 2 pitches at this point in his career and the mix isn't fooling anyone.  he threw a noticable amount more curves in his last start to add to the mix and it didn't help his issues.  he don't have many moves left to break out.

    Definitely needs a 10 day stint for the hangnail - have to nip those things in the bud or suffer the consequences (ie, more opponent home run derby, etc)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Believe you are correct, checked and appears Cubs have a $2.51 million obligation to Barnhart this season per Cot's Contracts.  Also paying Trey Mancini $7mil this season.  Ouch.  

  • crunch (view)

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake. 

  • crunch (view)

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here).

    Kris Bryant to IL with low back strain. He’s keeping the Rockies docs busy.
