Jackson Holliday getting the news that he will be going to the big leagues

I feel like the Bo Bichette conversation would probably have gone very differently.

What I really want to do is… DANCE!

im hoping it was a comically large TV camera, some guy holding a boom stick over him, a giant camera lighting umbrella thing, and the manager is thinking 'lol hes not gunna see this news coming'

This probably gave it away:

Coach is a shitty actor, too.

It’s like that Undercover Boss setup. Like, you’ve got cameras focused on one specific person. How do you NOT think they’re important?

I genuinely can’t imagine any other reason he would get called into the office. Unless he had been like stealing office supplies.

Yep, the first 20 of these were fun. Now they're just looking contrived and forced.

I doubt these kids are getting called into the office daily. When you're the top prospect and getting called in, you know why it's happening.

If they wanted a real reaction, walk out during bp and as he's walking out of the box, spring it on him.

The opened case of water really ties the room together

used to work for the yankees old AA team. it really is barren concrete and minimal facilities. the minors system is really depressing with how little they invest into it.

This room looks like a depressing Marine Corps duty room except with different colors

Also, it seems at every level, the manager has a triangle-folded flag on a shelf.....

Lmao I played the first time and was like what kinda cheap half assed production is this? Sony’s a billion dollar company they can’t do better than 4 walls and a little color? …. Oh! They nailed it.

100,000% agree

Tough to want to put stuff up when: the walls are painted cinder block, you can be fired at any moment, and “moving in” is just asking for bad juju.

Personally I think so. Even if you don’t want to play on line you can get hundreds of hours out of offline play.

Just wait until you hear about that Green Day song being about Matt Holliday's family

It's ok....I just realized it in the middle of their conversation 🤦🏼

You’ll never guess who Druw Jones is related to!

Yeah I dont know how we got him instead of Toronto. They are the nepotism leaders.

You will hear about it approx. 30 times tonight during the game.

Same. But know that I know and seeing his arms, I believe it

Don’t be, it’s not like his name is Mattson

400 pound 1RM is way more than a random in the street could do but isn’t really crazy for someone who hits the gym for a couple years.

Jackson, you've been traded to the Guangdong Tigers. Start working on your pull up jumper.

should have told him he's getting traded to a team his pops used to play for and hand him a A's jersey

Why tf is Bowie catching strays here?!

"And then he died....... his hair for your first Big League start!"

“Sorry Jackson but your dad is dead……..that’s right, dead serious about going to Itchy & Scratchy Land Fenway Park to see you make your Major League debut.

Reminds me of that Key & Peele skit where it's supposed to be Hell's Kitchen, and he says stuff like:

"This dish tells me you need to pack your shit and leave.....

Because you're going to be the new top chef at a Michelin Restaurant!"

Kendrick was pissed off about that prank

This is my favorite Phillies prank. Tangentially related to being called up for a debut.

The video has been made private on YouTube apparently, but the Vancouver Canucks pranked Bo Horvat back in 2014 when he made the team out of training camp.

It was the last day of cuts, and the coach was showing film, and it was a compilation of Horvat making mistakes or getting beaten, and it went on for a few minutes before they told him he made the team.

Call him now, today, right as you read this. Yes you. There will be a day that you wish you could just call to shoot the shit with him.

So I grew up in a fanatically religious household with a doctor for a dad. And he, like my mom, assumed I would be healed by god, and when I wasn't, he blamed me. And then, later on in my adulthood when I couldn't work because of my chronic pain from my cerebral palsy, he called me a screw up.

So, I haven't called him for a very long time. And if I did? It definitely wouldn't be "dad"🫠

"I dunno, they must be big shots taking airplanes every day of the week, not calling their parents."

He also signed for $8.19M out of high school in 2022.

With good wealth management, that's more than enough to retire off of even at age 20 if you're happy to "settle" for a comfortable middle class lifestyle.

according to wikipedia and insta, they tied the knot on January 6th this year 😬🫣

These baseball kids are seemingly always married off before they're like 23 at the latest. It's wild to me cause I couldn't imagine marrying that young. And if not married, they've had the same GF since like 17.

I would 100% have gotten a divorce by now over 10 years past that time, cause I have changed in a lot of ways, including what I hope for in a partner.

But I guess it's different in sports. You're all about one thing for most of your life till your career is over. Not much time for change.

Yep and he and his wife look like siblings lol

Jesus. 20 yo and married.

Just damn.

For a 7 year old he is jacked

I mean, I was just trying to sound like a creep.

I think these videos are neat but I'm not sure any have ever been surprised. Mostly just nervous and pumping with adrenaline waiting to hear the words. The one they released for Adley he was shaking for like the first half

If he started crying this video would have been perfect.

Is there also a Zack Showalter somewhere in the Orioles org?
