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!
