It's a matter of principal.

I'm not spending 14 bucks for a digital copy of a one day read.

Eventually the price will come down and I'll be waiting.

Ah!!!!  The Dan Duquette methodology.

Hopefully Elias will lift the veil of secrecy behind the Orioles baseball operations. Notice how the Houston media is all over this while all the local media can do is retweet and repeat what the national and local Houston guys are saying.

 

 

Orioles operations be like:

I waited two years to buy Fallout 4 and got it for 67% off.

I'm in no rush.

You play video games?  I thought you'd be sitting around smoking a pipe and reading Ferlinghetti by candlelight.

The fact that you didn't have me listening to music means you don't know me at all.

Yeah that was my thought.too. You see this in the NFL a lot. If there are personality issues in Houston, I hope Elias and Sig aren't the root at them since we have them now but I'm thinking the same as yourself and that this is just part of what happens with franchises that get successful. 

Old school Nolan Ryan doesn't like this new-fangled stuff?

He just wants the kids to get off of his lawn.

Honestly, I'm sad no one gave me any feedback on that Daughters album I posted.

AOTY for me and it isn't close.

It's in pretty heavy rotation.

I’m OK with this being close to the vest.    But I hope that at the opening presser both the Angelos boys and Elias really lay out how the relationships will work and what the overall plan is, besides just the usual platitudes.   And then I hope on an ongoing basis that Elias is fairly accessible and communicates the things the O’s are doing to implement their plan.
