Buck Britton, the manager of Minor League Baseballs Norfolk Tides, kept talking and second baseman Jackson Holliday kept listening. (Watch the video below.)

But to what exactly? An ill-deserved demotion? A backhanded compliment? A life lecture?

In a clip that went viral Wednesday, Britton rambled on about Hollidays chip on his shoulder and told the 20-year-old prospect to thank his dad, former Major League All-Star Matt Holliday , for allowing him to hang on the field with him back in the day.

The second thing I want you to tell him is that now its time for him to ask permission to be on Jackson Hollidays pass list cause youre going to the big leagues, Britton said.

Awesome, Holliday said. A smile broke over his face at the realization he was being promoted to the Tides parent club, the Baltimore Orioles.

Britton did have one last piece of advice for Holliday: Call your dad.

Getting the call-up shouldnt come as too much of a shock for the younger Holliday, who was MLBs overall No. 1 draft pick in 2022 and had been tearing the hide off the ball in the minors.

Now hes heading to an Orioles team thats 6-4 and expected to be a contender.

Good luck in the show, kid.
