    The Orioles have found their announcing team on TV/Radio

    This thread is interesting timing as I was thinking the other day that Brown and McDonald have been hitting their stride of late. Ben might be the best I’ve heard on breaking down pitching sequences and shapes of pitches. Being a person who never played the game I appreciate his level detail when explaining the art of pitching. And how many times has he guessed right on the next pitch?? Maybe that’s not so hard but Brown always seems surprised saying things like, “you willed that pitch into existence!”, lol.

    The in-stadium experience is as good as any sport, the athleticism is great, the strategy is layered and nuanced.  Just like baseball outsiders think nothing is going on, but everything is going on, everyone on the field has to intuitively know what their role in the system is. And once you've watched a good game that has 45 minutes without a commercial break you'll find it hard to go back to other sports.  American football is jarring... flip over on TV... I thought Maryland was on, oh that's right, they are, there's just a thee-minute commercial every four minutes.  If you turn to soccer you know what's on? Soccer. Weird, right?

    I primarily watch these two sports as well and this is about as best a description as could be said. I think if Brown does talk about soccer he could mention it from the “strategy is layered and nuanced” angle rather than individual teams and it might be more interesting to someone who doesn’t watch soccer a lot.
