It would be nice if we could hear the questions being asked

First two questions are about Addison Russell.

Fifth question is about Joe's status

Theo - no friction - we don't always agree - doesn't want yes man - look forward to him coming back next year.

This is excruciating.  But I can't look away...

From the Today's Game topic, but I pretty much reached my breaking point around the 8th inning last night.  I turned the TV off and started listening to Pat and Ron starting around then and found it a lot less stressful to do that the rest of the way.  And not to quibble too much with Joe's managing last night, but when he starts going into the bullpen in a playoff game and starts swapping out relievers because someone like Drew Butera is coming to the plate, it just gets nerve wracking for me.  I probably spent the last 5 innings last night just waiting for the inevitable moment we found the reliever who sucked while our offense couldn't do much of anything with the limited chances they had.

Theo went on a bit about it being time to evaluate based on production over talent now.  And how are guys who were doing things at 22-23 years old, not taking the next step at 24, 25, 26...

Nice knowing you Schwarbs

Theo is indirectly saying Chili Davis is gone. Not happy with the diminished power, walks, balls in the air. No coaching decisions have been made at this point but he isn't saying they'll all be back either. Sounds to me like Chili might want to call a moving company and start pricing.

He is happy with the bullpen overall. Happy with the strike throwing overall but they'll be looking for more help there. Called Cole Hamels a breathe of fresh air, pro's pro. Well respected in the clubhouse and on the field. Positive presence. Absolutely someone they want as part of the mix going forward.

Spending more money on players isn't always the answer.

Did he see "not happy with the job we've done drafting pitching?"  Because it's been pretty awful.

Start drafting some high-90's fireballers with mechanical flaws or injury concerns and try to fix them and stop with all these high-character rag-armers, for the love of God...

Interesting interpretation. I did not share it.
