Think theory and application.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">So far, DePodesta has done much of the talking, which, to be clear, is appropriate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">However, earlier this week, Tanous appeared on <a href=\"https:\/\/thedrewgoodmanpodcast.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Drew Goodman Podcast<\/a>, and it\u2019s worth your time to listen to their conversation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Tonight, then, I\u2019ll start by making a recommendation: Listen to the podcast \u2014 the last half is all you need \u2014 and let us know what you think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the new Colorado Rockies front office hires is assistant general manager Tommy Tanous.
