@Mrs.Jsorry i missed this.. didn't see the edit you made to your reply. @CAPEis right, CHSP is great, and Lewes has an expanding eatery and brewery scene. Can you tell me more of what you might look to do? Rehoboth does have a lot to offer, but it will be crowded. Other things nearby, if you don't mind mini road trips.

So we were in Rehoboth last fall so not too worried if we don’t go in much to avoid crowds. We like to explore. Last year we enjoyed the Lifeguard museum and enjoyed it. Also took a trip up to Dover for the Victoria museum. We had wanted to do some Kayaking if possible. And would you recommend taking the ferry to Cape May? We like museums and nature.

Because of Elias/Sig philosophy. Their overuse of analytics, and not enough focus on fundamentals and actually having a winning mindset throughout the organization (major and minors) is a big problem. The fact that Cal has stepped in and become more involved in development is another clue that the problem runs deeper than the players. See, it's become readily apparent how mentally messed up these players are. They are clearly thinking way too much...and I wonder if they are being choked by the analytics.

Adley said something a couple months ago about his improvement this year. He said "Simple thoughts at the plate". Where did the complication come from? Holliday's improvements (before the injury--he's pretty much been in spring training mode up until now) came from his dad. The young players clearly had the talent coming up through the minors; there is no way they all simply fail in the same manner unless there is a deeper problem. 

See, Elias may be all numbers and computers when it comes to the talent he has brought up--and these players simply don't know how to win. We have seen their talent: we see the flashes of it--but of course it's inconsistent. But this inconsistency is not just one player; it's the whole team. How does an entire team, both younger players and veterans, fail in the exact same way 2.5 years in a row? How is the defense of the entire team this awful? How is this out third set of hitting coaches in 4 years, and a new manager, yet the same problem? You have to look at the top. They could be micromanaging things into oblivion.

Elias has been pretty good at spotting talent--particularly the bats. But what if...he simply relies on the analytics and kinda just leaves them out there...and did not instill a culture of knowing how to win? That flawed approach would translate into coaches and other personel having all the analytics in the world but no fundamentals, no "this is how you need to play to win". The "Oriole Way" has been missing for several years.

When you say  how is the defense this bad and we're on the 3rd set of hitting coaches in 4 years , it definitely sounds like it the players and the person who chose said players .

The ferry is a great experience! And cape May is a fun little town, almost like a mirror to Lewes. Lots of beautiful Victorian beach houses and hotels, and I think there is a trolley tour of them. A small boardwalk with a few restaurants too. It's been years, but we had lunch at a Stewart's (like the root beer) that was inside a old bank. We are in the vault!

If you want to kayak, I would recommend trap pond or killens pond, both state parks. Killens also has a small water park that is actually very nice with a just redone pool. Admission is like $12
