(25,518 posts)36. Sorry, I can't help you... you would have to be familiar with the game of baseball....
and have had a job working under a boss.
Most working people have enough common sense that they don't need to be explicitly told by the boss that they shouldn't "speak out" on certain subjects, acting like they have the authority to make statements and decisions, as if they're in charge. In my case, I patiently waited my turn ( "on deck" ) for my chance to get promoted to that position and once installed ( "at bat" ), I proceeded to make great strides running things ( hitting a "grand slam" ) in my former boss's place.
Keith Ellison will make a fine DNC Chairman in the next go-around... til then, he'll play "second fiddle" - that's a musical expression, perhaps, more familiar to you - and let Tom Perez take the lead.

I know Keith Ellison would be fighting like hell for us had we given him the nod.

Keith is a true team player... he's not gonna usurp power. You gotta admire that!

"Saying anything" and pontificating like you're the one in charge are TWO radically different things

If you have not heard a word from him, why are you sure he is an elite leader?

He is tough! He just doesn't scream and foam at the mouth. If you want show biz then I guess
