“I’ll get ’em,” he says. “I won’t let them suckers outsmart me" Ned Yost, Jeff Foxworthy & the 2012 KC ROYALS

“You’ve got to be a special deer,” he says, “to get a name.”

The first one was “Bo,” after Bo Jackson, because Yost says he was “such a stud.” Batman is still out there, and so is Herschel Walker, the broad-shouldered beast they hope to someday vanquish. Spider-Man and Victor are waiting for their tickets to heaven, and Yost and Foxworthy are waiting to punch them. There’s even a deer they call Wil Myers, after the young and yet unproven outfielder in the Royals’ farm system. Yost smiles when he tells you why, proud of his own creativity.

“Because he’s going to be something special in two years,” he says.

so nice guy, infuriating hitter

francouer! that's awesome.

I'm about 20% considering a swing to KC to see the Futures Game the Sunday before the ASG, btw

Kauffman stadium is really nice. I only saw a game for like 2 innings before the heavens opened up and unleashed some sort of midwestern hellstorm that a dude from LA had never seen before.

How did I miss this

Geez:

UPDATE: After being examined by the Royals’ team doctor Duffy has been diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament, which is the injury that requires Tommy John surgery. He’ll seek a second opinion from Dr. Lewis Yocum first, but it looks like season-ending surgery for the promising left-hander. What a shame.

‏@cantpredictball
The Royals have a better record than the Red Sox

Butler just got ejected during an at-bat. Nothing like having the plate ump walk into the batter's box, take his mask off, and boot you.

10th inning, tied at three, runner on second. Abreu inherited a 2-2 count, K'd.

YEAH, I'm watching the Royals and the Twins.

good use of ur time imo

This pitcher is named Francisley Bueno.

Lorenzo Cain is writhing in agony.

It's September and the Royals have Brayan Pena playing first base.

ned hasnt let those suckers outsmart him

Game ova.

Good job, Mike Estabrook.

oh my, the wholesome Midwest

Salvador Perez just picked Alexei Ramirez off third base. He's fun to watch already.

@Royals
Catcher @SalvadorPerez15 picks off his MLB-leading 5th of the season and 8th of his young career. Both are #Royals records.

Q Berry safe at first on error by third baseman M Moustakas, Q Berry to second on throwing error by third baseman M Moustakas.
P Fielder singled to left, Q Berry scored, M Cabrera to third, P Fielder to second on error by left fielder A Gordon.
O Infante reached on infield single to shortstop, O Infante to second on throwing error by shortstop A Escobar.

This game is currently in the second inning.

Plenty of ballgame for the Tigers to catch up.

Ned Yost announced today that he will retire as manager of the Royals following Sunday's season finale against the Twins.

— Mark Feinsand (@Feinsand) September 23, 2019

On the first day of September in 2014, the Kansas City Royals called up a pitching prospect named Brandon Finnegan. Only a few months earlier, they had selected him in the first round out of Texas Christian University. He was a hard-throwing lefty, the sort of arm the bullpen needed as the Royals attempted to return to the postseason for the first time in 29 years.

I was the Royals beat writer for The Kansas City Star at the time. So I asked manager Ned Yost the question on the minds of most Royals fans that afternoon: How did he plan to use Finnegan?

“Match him up,” Yost said.

He stared at me. We were sitting in his office, with a couple other reporters, a courtesy Yost extended to the traveling beat writers before every game. His answers could often be cryptic or clipped or flippant, but this one was just confusing.

What, I followed up, did that exactly mean?

Yost leaned forward in his chair. He knew the answer. He would gauge the rookie’s mettle in low-leverage situations and go from there. But Yost saw little reason to explain that to me. He always knew more than he let on.

“How the fuck,” he said, “do I know how I’m going to use Finnegan?”
