To piggy-back off what Laurence was asking you about the process and the plan and maybe being a little ahead of schedule or maybe not, uh, are tho, are there those interpersonal checks and balances, or checks and balances within the system where you go, 'alright, we should go for it now,' or 'this is available now,' or 'do we sacrifice assets, and, and things that have a, a-a higher bargaining power maybe next year, or in the offseason this year.' How do ya, how do ya, how do ya balance that between, alright Javier Biaz's worth is right now, i-i-it's where it's at, or maybe we may need him or Almora, some of these other guys that-that may be chips, not only in this trade market but in the offseason as well, how do ya, how do ya negotiate that within, uh, ya team, and also yourself?

You've been pining for it, and here it finally is! Jason Goff, step on down!

Earlier today, Goffer and Leery interviewed Cubs head of baseball operations Theo Epstein, producing this gem of a question:


That's right, 5 "how do ya's" in a single sentence. Well played.


Theo amusingly responded with "that's a great question."

A lot of Score guys are lacking in their interview skills.

I will say that Bernstein is very good at interviews.

Anytime ya hear " that's a great question" ya know the question sucked , and its a you stroke me I stroke you kinda guy.

Except Hamp has a bust

hello

Great work..I miss your Mulligan work..Goff is the 2nd worst interviewer at the score.. He loves his' it's it's it's ...and he he he ...or Well Well Well ...he's long winded and gives the interviewee 2 possible answers to his own question IN HIS OWN QUESTION

But what do I Know ? As Goff would say " its Gangsta "

I really like Goff, but he is a horrible interviewer.

Should have just let Larry handle the interview. Although he is not much better.

Len, the last five weeks have not been kind to Kris Bryant, and maybe at the end of the year or maybe years from now we'll look back on it and say "ok, it's a young guy who struggled a little bit, had a rough patch in his first year, but...uh.uh...in all we know what kind of talent he is." But, In..In the...in the short-hand (sic), right now, you need that bat to...to...you know, spur you on to a (sic), a extra nine innings with that wild-card berth. What do you think he's going through right now, what are you seeing that he's not seeing, or seeing out there...because that strike zone that, that we thought, uh, came u...that he came up with, is starting to be expanded, and he's starting to swing at things that we didn't see him swing at the first couple of months of the season.

He really is tough at interviewing. He should take a class or something.

Not only is he long winded, but from what I've heard, he likes to answer the question that he's asking or give his opinion on it before he finally lets the guest answer it. Just spit out the question Goff. Stop being so wordy!!!!!

Jay, I’m gonna get to the White Sox, because I need you to make me feel better about this offseason and what, what, what am I going to see from the White Sox this year, but I have to ask you, we’re kind of locally-focused with the Cubs when we talk about them being big-money bidders, but who else? What is the competition in terms of the billfold out there this offseason around Major League Baseball for some of the same high-priced assets that maybe the Cubs, and maybe the Sox might be going after? Who are, who are the other teams around baseball that are trying to spend some money to bolster a disappointing season, or, to get that topper, the, the, the, the cherry on the sundae, uh, this offseason.

Happy to help in this thread. Goff is painfully amateur on the mic still, almost to a Mully and Hanley level.



The italicized is classic Goff, trying to shoehorn in an expression that nobody uses just so he can get out more words. Is it just insecurity? Over caffeination (thus the slapping)?
