Would not be surprised if there is an announcement one way or another on Thursday. Kind of surprised that Ross needed a 2nd interview.

My only conclusion is that they would hire Ross because he'd implement what the FO wants, beyond that I just don't get it. Feels like such a fucking meatball move.

It's going to be ok, Ross "knows what a bad manager looks like."

Ah, blue collar town talk. Wonder if Theo talked to Kenny about his process for hiring Robin Ventura?

That interview sounds like it was a dress rehearsal for his Chicago intro press conference.

Theo and Jed take full ownership now, so no real excuses. This is clearly a marching order move.

Hopefully this doesn’t mark the beginning of the full-on meatball era, but it sort of feels like it might.

Thought it was going to be Espada.
2020 Team - funkster - 10-23-2019
Is what it is. Like I said, if they want someone who is going to follow their orders, then I'm fine with it.
2020 Team - Butcher - 10-23-2019
It won't really matter who the manager is unless they fix the roster.
2020 Team - funkster - 10-23-2019
Agreed.
2020 Team - rok - 10-23-2019
Yep. This is all window dressing until they make serious personnel changes.

I don't know what to think. I'm surprised for sure. Ex-catcher and team leader type becoming a manager isn't odd, I'm just so not used to this right to the top thing. I'll try to keep an open mind, but it strikes me as a meatball move as well.
