Message: [QUOTE="SwagSocks, post: 5353212, member: 6675"] Not a bad example. I was with MLB at the time, and he changed the whole entire culture and atmosphere of that team. He (and the coaching staff) was able to make the best out of Rizzo, Bryant, Baez, Arrieta etc. Did he suck in game 7? Yes. But the Cubs didn’t have a winning record since 2009 before Maddon joined, and then he went to 3 straight NLCS’ and won 90+ games 4 out of the 5 years he was there. After he was fired, the Cubs have stunk. Maddon and Theo Epstein had the greatest run in Cubs history and it was because of their leadership. Players matter too, but having good culture from the top down is so important. If you want to talk baseball we could do it on a different forum. But I have a lot of insights and was breathing it everyday for 10 full seasons [/QUOTE]
