I know he had Sunday Nigh Baseball on TV, but Miller primarily (only?) did radio here, no?  He's my favorite O's broadcaster ever, listening to him on the radio at night is a big part of why I fell in love with baseball.  But was thinking of Brown as the best TV guy.  Thompson I know did both, but he was mostly before my time.  I only recall a few sporadic TV or radio broadcasts from him, he was more of an emeritus at that point than a regular voice.  

Miller did some very limited TV work. Mostly radio.  He's the best for me. 

 

We've been blessed overall I think..  even the guys I haven't particularly cared for, were very professional and I think better than most.

Yeah Thompson was mostly before my time too. According to wikipedia seems like he did TV till 1987 then did some radio in the 90s filling in when Jon Miller was away. Miller seems like he was radio only for the O's, I don't really remember him on TV other than ESPN, but I listened to a lot more radio back then. I agree he was my favorite too. Also really liked Joe Angel.

 

TV and radio are just different in how you have to present the picture of what's happening so I can see making that distinction. After Thompson there really isn't a ton of competition.

Brown isn't professional.

Pedro hates that he brings pop culture into his baseball games. He made that Slim Shady/Eminem reference with Povich last night and Pedro lost it.

Chuck was the best. That is all.

I've heard a ton of his homerun calls from old recordings and he was the best.  No one did it better.

He’s an Oasis super fan so he can do no wrong in my eyes.

Friday's opener against Tampa has me a bit concerned since that's Kremer's spot in the rotation. He obviously isn't going, do we bring up Mr. Rogers for a spot start or basically make it a bullpen game? At least we line up in the last two games with Eflin and Burnes.

I think it could be Brandon Young, they moved his start back two days last week which lines him up for Friday.
