I Like Ross, but the Cubs need Girardi

[JimJohnson]

Maybe an off day with no baseball? I know MLB doesn't like announcements like a hiring on days of games.

Well let's hope Houston wraps it up tonight then.

 

[JimJohnson]

Ok Theo, time to let us know who you are hiring.

You think this happens in a couple of days?

Just curious which candidate a real Cubs fan like you wants to get the job.

I guess since Theo had to bring him back in, that means Theo missed something in the original meeting? Was it incomplete? Was Ross asked if he would consider being a bench coach? Doubt he gives up the ESPN deal for that position.

A lot of the time "second interview" is just code for "meeting ownership" for the final bless-off on a hire.

Yeah, I dont know, to me it was just seeing the guy off on his own when he should be preparing for the world series now.
Maybe that was the point of it, would it have been better if he said sorry, no, I have work to do.

Cubs FO impressed by Espada, according to reports. Could be a good choice with culture change. Astros started some training trends between Blast Motion sensor and Springer trained with Axe overload/underlaid bats from Driveline.

I didn't miss it, but couldn't remember where I had seen it. Thanks for posting.

2nd and 3rd rounds are common in interviewed employment.

Jesse Rodgers is saying there's a strong possibility the Cubs will announce David Ross as the new Manager for the Chicago Cubs National League baseball team on Thursday.

I thought teams weren’t suppose to make announcements during the World Series?

I think MLB has shifted to being okay with it on off-days.

 

[anotheridiot]

So what was the second Espada interview? seeing if he was ok in being the bench coach and replacement if it does not work?

Here comes one hell of a roller coaster ride!
