tied for the WC and they fire the manager....interesting

Beat me to it. Dale Sveum is interim manager.

I cant blame them. The Brewers have been mismanaged brilliantly

I'm both surprised and not surprised. I'm surprised because it's so close to the end of the year, I'm not surprised because it needed to be done if they have a second collapse in as many years.

Hiring a former White Sox infielder to do the managing has at least worked for 1 team in the past 3 years.

Jesus it's about time.

The question: Is it too late? This should have happened LAST August realistically. Yost is as bad a manager as I've ever seen, which is obviously saying something with all the bad managers in baseball.

Yeah a lot of questions will be asked if they don't make the playoffs, especially with the way Sabathia has pitches since he was acquired.

Going to be very interesting to see what happens there over the next couple of weeks.

thank god he was atrocious

With a competent manager the Brewers, not the Cubs, are going for their second straight division title. Yost was absolutely terrible. He had to go.

Agreed. I'm not sure if the Brewers would have won the division this year with a competent manager, but they'd for sure have won last year and would at least have a comfortable lead in the wild card this year while being much closer to the Cubs in the division if their manager didn't suck.

Wow. I don't think I have ever heard that one before. Fired in the middle of a pennant race.

So I don't really follow the Brewers at all. What did Yost do (or not do) that was so awful that led to being fired at the end of a season in a playoff race?

Thought they would wait til the year is over, but understand the timing.

He was the worst manager in baseball. Good riddance.

Thank god, he was the worst manager in baseball.

Has a manager in a pennant race ever been fired this late in the year?

Brilliant move.
If they make the post season, then obviously Yost was the problem.
