"Little" brother's already in Perfect Game's 2026 tracking - look out Billy Ripken.

Only other detail from my listen others haven't already mentioned is he shared he got engaged New Year's Eve.

Unless...you are really into load management for deer herds (that bit actually made me think he could be understanding how a big chunk of his 20's are going to be handled) or into the country boy/redneck/hillbilly hierarchy he introduced me to.

People are gonna love him.

I love that he’s acclimating to Chesapeake duck season.  Not a lot to do in Delmarva, unless you like to hunt.  Imagine he enjoyed his time on the Eastern Shore.  When I saw him for the first time in Delmarva it sounded like a shotgun blast every time he hit the catchers mit, and I was standing in CF.  I can’t wait for his debut.

I wonder how Jackson Holliday is coming at Delmarva housing.    I think I heard him say in a recent interview it'll be his first time away from home - I guess the Entourage accompanied pretty strong last August/September.

Staying at a Holiday Inn 14-21 nights good enough to blow past Low-A?     Or do you* just start buying houses to rent out once your temporary need for them is done?

If he can't reach an accord with his brother and it's effecting the operation of the team how is that not his fault? 

That's his job at this point, that's the part he's responsible for.

So your assumption is that if an agreement can’t be made between too people it is always the fault of both.?Sometimes the other side isn’t a rational actor.  If you look at the various allegations being thrown about and the vitriol of Louie vs what JA has demonstrated in his stewardship it seems likely Louie isn’t a rational actor.  Of course, there is some chance he is telling the truth.

They are brothers, yes they share blame.

Eastern shore MD is some of the cheapest water front property available in the US.  If he’s a country boy, as I imagine he is, he will like the area.  Imagine having a nice duck hunting lodge could be quite attractive, and as you mentioned a solid way to diversify.  Have to imagine Boras schools his clients on that.

My wife is a preK teacher in York Co PA.  On Groundhogs Day she started the discussion asking “Who knows the 4 seasons?”  A little girl raised her hand and said “Deer.  Turkey.  Fishing.  And I forgot the other one.”

Sounds like he will enjoy PA too!

    • Outside of any of the "snubs" losing out of any potential bonuses, I don't care. I'd almost rather see them getting a solid break mid season anyways. 
    • I think there is a better term than "angry" to describe some of the O's. Anger seldom results in anything positive. Now, playing with attitude is another thing. GH is certainly the "King" of attitude on this team, no one is going to beat him. I believe there are several position players that show attitude in different ways. Pitchers?? SP throw 90 or so pitches. They can't afford to display emotions or they would be worn out much earlier. They also can't afford to have the "deer in the headlights" look. Of the O's starters, I believe CP is in that world at present. It's mainly an experience and growth thing.  GR, IMO, has approved significantly in that department over the last year. 
    • On close examination of Kjerstad today (July 7), I hope he is not part of any trade package. This kid is a bull, with power potential that is off the charts.  He runs surprisingly well and that throw to the plate from left was very impressive, if a bit high. I can see him planted in left field for a long time, perhaps in a platoon with Hays the rest of the year, but eventually full time if he proves able to hit southpaws.
    • I like this idea better, but I am curious to what it would take to secure Mason Miller.
    • I totally get it.  It’s a huge risk vs. reward situation, but getting someone like him (if he’s still strong) or Skubal could make a major difference come October for you guys over the next three seasons.
    • IMHO it's not about whether Crochet is an "opener" or a reliever, it's the innings.  He's never thrown more than 65 innings (at college in 2019) in his entire college or pro career and stands at 105.1 today.  Let that sink in.  On top of that, there is Crochet's TJ surgery, where he missed all of 2022 and had multiple stints on the IL in 2023 as he was recovering, tossing a total of 25 IP. Does any of this mean he cannot throw double (130 IP) or triple (195 IP) his prior max?  No one can say for certain, but I'd think any reasonable person would agree that, at the very least, it's a far riskier proposition for someone like Crochet than a pitcher who has been a starter and has thrown 150+ IP before.  So, to recap: The most innings he's ever thrown was 65 IP in college (2019) After throwing 54 innings of relief for the White Sox in 2021, he missed all of 2022 with Tommy John surgery He followed up in 2023 by throwing a total of 25 innings of relief, as he dealt with a couple of IL stints recovering from TJ His first ever pro start came this season and he's been dynamite through 105.1 IP Elias and Sig are well aware of the risks and it will be interesting to see how it all shakes out.
