They had a 3-run lead and Sheets wasn't exactly throwing a gem; yes, he only allowed one run but he also allowed 11 hits. The only conceivable reason I can think of is that Yost doesn't trust his bullpen at all, which is fine except you can't expect your starters to throw complete games every night (unless you keep making them throw 120+ pitches, health be damned). If you're afraid to use your 'pen with a 3-run lead you might as well throw in the towel for the season now.

There are just some teams out there (Reds, Brewers, Mariners, etc.) whose managers are so bad that they make their teams far worse than their talent would suggest. It really must be frustrating to be a fan of one of these teams... Yeah this is a questionable decision, to say the least.
