Scott ZolakHOST
We talked about the massive disconnection or the lack of connection of being a mutant.
Scott ZolakHOST
Theo Epstein talked about getting an interpreter to speak to the team.
Scott ZolakHOST
That's a guy that had no clue about chemistry within a clubhouse.
Scott ZolakHOST
We laughed about it because he spent so much time in a clubhouse.
Marc BertrandHOST
that his presence on the 2013 World Series roster was the thing that will help him now.
Marc BertrandHOST
We've already been told he needs an interpreter with baseball players.
Marc BertrandHOST
Yes, by Theo Epstein.
Marc BertrandHOST
He has a pretty good feel for things.
Jesse RogersHOST
So I'll ask this question.
Jesse RogersHOST
What might keep you up at night next week if you're playing? And I'll ask it in the same frame that Theo used to say, Theo Epstein.
Jesse RogersHOST
If you're a 90-win team, you're thinking of all the ways you can drop into the 80s.
Jesse RogersHOST
If you're an 80-win team, you're thinking of all the ways you can jump up into the 90s.
Dan BernsteinHOST
There are going to be some tough times in here.
Dan BernsteinHOST
But if you stick with us, and we're going to tell you, it reminds me, I always hold this up as the perfect example, and it's when Theo Epstein took over the Cubs.
Dan BernsteinHOST
What he said.
Dan BernsteinHOST
And he said, I know what you're going to say.
Micah StormsHOST
Yeah.
Micah StormsHOST
I just, I'm glad that they finally have the stability that has been lacking, honestly, since, I mean, you can go all the way back to Theo Epstein before they, you know, since they've had stability in the front office.
Justin GonzalezHOST
Yeah, and I'm ready to say it.
Justin GonzalezHOST
He's now officially, well, maybe not like right now, but I think he is just a better GM or hobo or whatever than Haim Bloom ever was.
Tom VerducciHOST
I mean, David did not have a good off-season in terms of some of the people he brought in.
Tom VerducciHOST
But I do think having a voice in there, an Ernie Accorsi type, um, Theo Epstein going to Boston, got ahold of Bill Lajoie, the old GM with the Detroit Tigers.
Joe MaddonGUEST
Mm-hmm.
Tom VerducciHOST
Um, you know, having wisdom to supplement the information, super important.
Tom VerducciHOST
I mean, David did not have a good offseason in terms of some of the people he brought in.
Tom VerducciHOST
But I do think having a voice in there, an Ernie Accorsi type, Theo Epstein going to Boston, got a hold of Bill LaJoy, the old GM with the Detroit Tigers.
Tom VerducciHOST
Having wisdom to supplement the information.
Tom VerducciHOST
super important.
Neal McCreadyHOST
And then none of those things happen.
Neal McCreadyHOST
Sometimes people need to take a lesson from Theo Epstein when he took the Cubs job back in 2012.
Neal McCreadyHOST
Yeah.
Neal McCreadyHOST
You know what he said first year? We're going to suck.
Bart GregoryHOST
That's the way it is in everything in life.
Bart GregoryHOST
Sometimes you look at the perfect person coming in to take over a company, and you're like, this is – or, you know, you look at Theo Epstein coming in and taking over the Cubs or whatever.
Bart GregoryHOST
You know, this is going to work.
Bart GregoryHOST
Well, the marriage has got to work.
Nick ElamGUEST
And lots of commissioners know that I would love that, but I haven't quite had that opportunity yet.
Nick ElamGUEST
And I know there were several years ago that Theo Epstein was in the role of kind of the innovator of the sport after he had been the general manager for multiple teams.
Nick ElamGUEST
Morgan Sword, I think, is in the position now that I would love to be in.
Nick ElamGUEST
And, yeah, that would be so fun.
