If he gets sent down it’s whatever. Fine. But I’m confident they can work on whatever issues he’s experiencing in Baltimore just as well.
This is a no brainer....send him down and ensure the extra year.

Thank you.
His batting hasn't just been bad - it's historically bad. I wish someone could figure out how many batters in major league history have had streaks where they go 1-27 at any point in their careers and strikeout more than 50% of the time. I think if this continues sending him down is smart for 3 reasons.
1) We did it with Grayson last year and it worked out great
2) We'll gain an extra year of control (does anyone think we are getting the draft pick for him being ROY at this point?)
3) He's costing us games.In addition to his lack of hitting, he doesn't appear to be any good with the glove. What's his rep in terms of defense in the minors as he appears to be below average on that front?
Everyone ripping on the Tony Kemp signing should apologize after Jackson whiffed that ball behind Mountcastle last night. Urias and Kemp aren't good hitters but they are great with the glove.
All of this is correct....except for apologizing for Kemp. While we are winning it is not as big a deal, but if he still looks the same in a week it has to be done. I mean he has been the definition of "overmatched" thus far.

The other prospects who have been in the minors longer are watching. They know they were bypassed for the phenom. I like to think Norby or Mayo might be ready for a chance. This is the best scenario for the team. Holliday will come up later in the season and be fine. We get the extra year and Elias can always point to this when people suggest he is keeping a prospect down too long. Could not have turned out better!

Cant possibly be too much longer, this is starting to cause as much anxiety as John Means.
Absolutely no reason to keep him up much longer and loose the extra year. This kid has presumably always been the best player on his team and tore through the minors. This humbling experience will be the best thing for him and the team long-term.

I remember Cal's first month or two. Seems to have worked out.
I remember also, and Cal was certainly more "seasoned" than JH is right now.

This team is special in so many ways. That’s a given, but a differentiation perhaps might arise in this team’s seemingly united love of Christ. The Jackson Holliday postgame interview, highlighting his pre-at bat ritual of drawing a cross in the dirt, giving all glory to Jesus, I tell ya, this team is easy to root for. Gunnar is like that. Adley is like that. Westy is like that. Cowser is like that. Mounty is like that. The list goes on and on. Couldn’t be prouder of them, but the fact they are equally yolked is, I think, a rarity and something that should be cherished and exalted.
Well said...they seem to have great chemistry. Hopefully, this will provoke some to sign long-term with us!

Bradish and Grayson qualify as aces as far as I'm concerned. Spend money on legit bullpen help since we're likely down The Mountain next year. Wouldn't mind Kyle coming back either. He's been up and down but any and every 4/5 do the same or else they'd be 1/2. He's a good dude inside and outside the clubhouse. Maybe that also prevents us from signing the Adam Fraziers, whom I like, and lets us keep room for the baby birds next year.
Totally agree....if you spend big then go get Hader for closer.

Why can’t we? Talk me through it. I don’t care if we lose 30-3, just gut it out. Rutsch, Gunnar, Mullins, Urias, and O’Hearn need to take a seat for a day.
The forfeit idea is good if that’s really an option.
I’m also very close to DFAing Lopez and putting Fuji on the IL with a sneeze injury.
I think it is more "mental fatigue" than physical. It is a pennant race. I think they are just a young team finding their way and getting great experience. However, the pitching is worrisome--but we all knew that would be the issue at the end of the season. No surprises here.

In my corporate experience, an EVP has a lot more juice than a SVP. I assume it's the same here.
I would not assume anything "normal" with Angelos.

I don’t think so. Current disposable income is tight for many people who would take families to the game. A lot of people just sent their kids back to school and paid for summer vacations, and now saving up for Christmas. Even in 2012-2016, weekday games were light attendance.
I agree with this. Basically it is costing everyone 11% more to live life as they have been this year. If your household income is 100K this means it is costing you 11K more to live as you have been. That is quite substantial.
Offense is down in MLB this year — but not in Baltimore

That is good news, as we have plenty of offensive potential to trade for pitching!
