Episode 41: What Winning Fixes (ft. Evan Drellich)

The Astros are dead! Long live the Astros! In today’s episode of the Lefty Specialists, John is joined by the man who literally wrote the book on the Houston Astros: Evan Drellich, author of Winning Fixes Everything: How Baseball’s Brightest Minds Created Sports’ Biggest Mess. The book is a fascinating look at what went on inside the organization from Jim Crane’s purchase of the team through the sign-stealing scandal and playoff successes. Evan and John discuss how to assign responsibility for a collective action, the legacy of Moneyball, and how fans should feel about how their teams are run. Check it out!
