I imagine the journalism community is rather tight-knit, and they're not going to let something like this slide, so they'll probably start digging the way reporters dug around and found out that Dan Snyder was a womanizing piece of work.

 

The problem is that John Angelos doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who actually does any work or shows up to anything unless there's a photo op involved, so they'll probably have trouble finding things.

Brad Brach already banged his wife.

John Angelos is a billionaire. There is no accountability. The only negative will be the press and we can only hope that his thin skin will let it bother him. I’m more annoyed at the whole distraction from the great season the actual team is having. I like Brown and all but I’d take him or leave him when weighed against actual baseball play. I can’t stand Angelos, but I love the Orioles so I deal with him and move along.

I think this is a safe bet.

I know the whole Angelos wife and Brad Brach is a meme right now here, but it seems like they have a connection through their wives; both of them are in the country music scene.  That doesn't rule out sordid details about their personal life, but, you know, they could just be friends.

There certainly won't be any repercussions from the fanbase, the only people with power to actually affect change. 

So no, nothing will happen. They are actively trying to find the leaker, because that is what is most important. Who betrayed the regime, not the ridiculous action itself. 

What if it's as simple as KB telling his wife what happened, or telling a friend? And that person going to a member of the media? That's really the ultimate plausible deniability scenario. The media sure as hell won't give up their source, so if it's someone close to KB, Angelos might be able to make an assumption, but will not have a shred of evidence.

The repercussions are bad press, losing valuable employees and having to overpay to get future employees because of nobody wanting to work for an insane psychopath otherwise.

Yes, those are possible consequences.  That’s about all though.  And there will always be talented, hungry announcers looking for a major league job who won’t be too picky.  But it could take years to find one as talented as Brown.

True but we should all just keep saying Brach banged her because it is funny and maybe it will piss Angelos off.

The current top search result when you google "John Angelos net worth":

John P. Angelos (born May 14, 1967) is the communist leader of the Baltimore Orioles, a position he has held since 2020, leading the club's front office and overseeing day-to-day business operations.
 
The rabble seems restless.  Could revolution be in the air?

    • I had never heard of Luke Dickerson before.  His HS is about an hour away from me.  Baseball America does a top 500 ranking.  I thought I’d find him in the top 100.  Nope.  I searched by “Luke” and he popped up at #311.  That’s some late riser!   Here’s the write up.   Is he supposed to be in top 2 rounds consideration? 311. Luke Dickerson SS Ht: 6'0" | Wt: 185 | B-T: R-R Age: null School: Morris Knolls HS, Rockaway, N.J. Commit/Drafted: Virginia Age At Draft: 18.9 Dickerson has been one of the better offensive performers among high school hitters in the northeast, which along with his athleticism has piqued the interest of scouts. Dickerson, who won a hockey state championship in March, has a strong, compact frame and plus speed. Scouts highest on him see an offensive-minded righthanded hitter who has shown solid feel for hitting and for the strike zone with the ability to use the middle of the field, along with an uptick in power production this spring. Dickerson has played shortstop but has experience in the center field as well, with second base or the outfield potential fits for him long term.
    • Santander has not had an off day since 5/30. Tomorrow would be would a good day to gives Stowers a RF start and Santander a bench day. Did it yesterday with Mounty it also could work with Hays or Mullins. The could easily get him 3 or 4 starts a week, whether or not they do is another question.  
    • He is a starter filling in for an injury and 6 man rotation.  He won’t be a starter when Kremer comes back and we go to 5 man rotation.  He is the only guy that has started a game this season and not given you 6 innings at least 1 times.  That includes guys like Means, Wells, Povich Kremer & Irvin.  You can’t be a starter on a contending team and never go at least 6 innings, that is how you do wear out a bullpen having to get 10+ outs every turn through.  
    • We should trade for Crochet. He has already exceeded his previous innings pitched. We put him in the bullpen for a couple of months to strengthen the pen and save his arm. Build him back up to start for the stretch run and playoffs if needed. Next year, when Bautista is back, he becomes a top tier starter again. He solves our bullpen concerns for this year and starts next year.
    • Yes, 109 is the key... anything below that is just, well, meh. 
    • I chose the second option.  Resiliency.  Split the first two, but come up big in the deciding game of the three game set. My other option was win one, lose one, win one and find out Gerrit Cole's rehab was blown to shreds.
    • I've been told that winning 2/3 every time and a 108 win pace is unacceptable.
