Theo Epstein joined David Kaplan (Kap & Co.) on ESPN 1000 before the finale of the Brewers series as Jake Arrieta was set to follow up his no-hitter. Epstein talked to Kaplan about Arrieta and the accusations being made about him by the uninformed media.
Theo Epstein also discussed the way the Cubs have played out of the gate, the decision not to call-up Willson Contreras, the importance of having a deep roster and Kyle Schwarber.
Three years to the day Arrieta threw his second no-hitter against the Reds, the Orioles optioned him to Triple-A.
