Eppler Press Conference **Live Feed

[Adam]

I'll be posting all the stupid questions and phony answers from the presser / conference call today. 

[Blarg]

OK, first question. Is the Spin rate coming from the press conference going to be greater than Heaney's four steamer? 

[Blarg]

Question 2. Have you seen the Angelswin Manager pole and does Eric Chavez have a chance? 

[Blarg]

Question 3. About those beer prices, can we lower those again? 

[Chris]

Testing 1 2 3...

[Second Base]

On a scale from extremely uncomfortable to depths of he'll, how hot is your seat right now Billy? 

[Second Base]

If you had to choose between, "because he sucks" and "because I needed to blame someone" which of those phrases would you use to describe your reasoning behind firing Ausmus, Paul and White?

[Second Base]

Are you, Brad and Doug still surfing bras after this, it will they need to find a new beach?

[Adam]

Terry Smith sounds like a real asshole

[Adam]

Holy Fuck someone is on a plane and we can hear the flight attendent announcements.

Some people are just idiots.

Billy's Opening Remarks

Thanked Brad Ausmus for professionalism and his focus. Removing Brad, Paul and White was a tough call. Collective decision. Brad isn't responsible for results. Signings were a failure. 

[Blarg]

It starts with Eppler adresses the release of Ausmus, White and Paul. Eppler falls on sword saying his acquisitions that didn't produce on him not Brad or the staff.

[Adam]

Frustrating year for everyone. Reggie Jackson Quote about some bullshit metaphor. 

 

Org heading in right direction. Search for Manager starts today. 

[nate]

is there a heavy breather yet?  or someone sniffling?  dog barking?

Not a conference call until you hit the trifecta.

Fact check: Mostly accurate. 

Although I do wonder on that ‘collective decision’ business. I think thats certainly an over simplification. 

[Adam]

@Jeff Fletcher with a great question! He's so handsome. The best. Decision was simply based on results

[Blarg]

Fletch throws the first hand grenade on why Eppler didn't think Ausmus was the right guy.

[Adam]

Flight Attendant back on. FFS

[Claude]

When will Ron Washington be arriving? 

[Adam]

Fabyan - will there be more changes to staff?

Epp - Tough decisions. Rest of staff still being evaluated. 

[Adam]

Manager decision probably to come first. 

[Adam]

Doug brought energy and passion but ultimately the inventory  was taken. 

[Adam]

Eppler asked if Maddon has been given the job. Can't answer the question. Made him rephrase.
