Student and Master
Those of you old enough might remember a 70's TV series called Kung Fu. This was a famous scene. A young Caine wants to know when he'll be able to leave the temple. His master instructs him:
"As quickly as you can...snatch the pebble from my hand." [Caine tries and fails]
"When you can take the pebble from my hand, it will be time for you to leave."
Do you get the feeling Billy Beane is doing that to Theo Epstein this week?
"Snatch a victory from my team." [Espstein tries and fails] "When you can beat this team, then you can go to the playoffs."
Maybe Theo should shave his head. :-)
