I figured the constant questioning of Yost was due to the number of years we had to grow tired of his act. Heck, I was one of the most outspoken against him. Apparently though manager second guessing is topic #1 in this forum.

No, this is why Macha is beyond frustrating. Parra should have been out of the game 3 hitters ago now, this is as stupid as Yost here.
I was referring to the fact that he was absolutely cruising with a PC in the low 70's going into that inning and then he has an inning like that. It just comes out of nowhere. And Macha is a very good manager imo. Not too many things he has been doing haven't worked out well and he has good reasoning behind what he does

I've had some issues with Manny's mental state at times, but this instance had nothing to do with that. If anything he showed me something there by hanging in there. That was a manager keeping a gassed pitcher out there with runners on and better options in the pen. His spot in the order wasn't even coming up. Macha has been solid this year, but I disagree with him leaving Manny out there.

That happens to every single pitcher in baseball. Gallardo was cruising in a game earlier this year, suddenly gave up 6 ER in an inning and then cruised the rest of the game. Parra needs to be babied a little at 85+ pitches and when he loses his control like that in that pitch range you should take him out. Capuano was the same way for what it is worth even though people for some reason think Bush was even though it isn't true.

I never said it doesn't happen at times to other pitchers - that goes without saying. Just seems to happen to Manny a lot and it is not enjoyable watching him walk people with a 4 run lead when he had been cruising up to that point
