This has been one of the more amusing threads on here recently.
As for Crowley, I really don’t care one way or another about him. I don’t have particularly fond memories of him as the hitting coach here, what he was able to do/not do used to be a big source of contention on here.
Yes, Markakis was a big fan of his but Markakis also went from looking like a .300 25-35 homer guy to a .280 15 homer guy while he was here, IIRC.
If his comments about Elias are true, that’s pretty stupid…especially in the setting he’s in. That’s a lack of professionalism.
But he also wouldn’t be the first crotchety old fartknocker who just doesn’t care about what he says or who he says it in front of. Same with the T-shirt, he obviously just doesn’t care anymore. A lot of people reach that stage in their lives, he’s not the first.
