Way to reward a guy for getting his first hit, Orioles 


Good news! I saw a dog today.

Os you don’t have to. If it looks like bad weather you can swap

 

Yeah, 24 hrs in advance.


I never had friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?

I'd rather have kept Mayo up here. Soto is a zero.

 

Happy Brown is going to stay, he seemed like someone destined to go onto bigger and better things.

Brown calls a good game. But I need Ben McDonald to enhance his repertoire. If I hear him say, "Tony Taters is in the house, folks" one more time, I'm gonna need to start actively rooting for Santander to strike out.

Good move optioning Mayo.

He struggled mightily and I think He'll benefit from the experience and some regular ABs at Norfolk.

Soto will back up Gunnar and Holliday.

We may see Gunnar get another day off soon with Soto being around.

It is annoying.

I'm not as high on Brown as some around here, but he is pretty good.

Eh, if your rep is good you can email him or her and they're pretty responsive.

Kevin Brown is insanely overrated IMO.

 

He's "fine"

It may be more about context than it is directly about him. The O's have had a long string of really awful play by play guys in the booth

If you mean Gary Thorne, you shut your month right now.

Brown gets a little weird sometimes but I like him and he does well with the others. Announcing an extension feels a little strange but it’s almost another f u to John A so I’ll allow it.

Nothing worse than the occasional Jim Hunter play by play when the team was perpetually bad.

Personally, I liked Gary Thorne. He was entertaining, but he wasn't a great play by play guy.

I actually think it’s cool that they waited until he got that hit out of the way before optioning him.

That's definitely a more positive take on it.

I think Kevin Brown is excellent.  He's got the potential of being another Bob Costas and I'm glad he'll be here in Baltimore for a while.
