    Who in the world do you think would defend him over this? 

    There are heavy pro-Angelos posters on here who would say he called out the team he deserves it, or Angelos is the owner, he can do what he wants, etc.  Wouldn't surprise me.

    How does that comment make you sound cheap?

    I mean, if you actually believe that, it means you know you were being cheap, stealing from the fans and you don’t want anyone to even insinuate tanking.

    It’s just stupidity. Pure stupidity. This is his father all over again. It’s pathetic.

    He is a spoiled, pampered, arrogant lying child that needs to be sent to his room for a timeout 

    Yeah, I am going through it, and for the life of me, do not see how that makes them cheap.  The Orioles were awful against the Rays for a while, and now they are really good against them.  It is a COMPLIMENT to Elias (and by extent, JA) for spearheading this turn around.  But instead, petty, small, crybaby JA finds a way to be offended and remove, in my opinion, one of the best announcers we've had in years.

    Seems a bit far-fetched

    I really hope it isn't true, because if it is, it makes the guy who is running arguably the best story in baseball look like a pathetic crybaby.  If true, I don't think anything JA does could change my perception of him.

    George Steinbrenner didn’t allow any Yankee slander from his employees. Just saying 

    ITS NOT SLANDER.  MY GOD.  HE is literally putting the Orioles' awesome season into perspective by saying how bad things are.

    I would guess it was this graphic in particular that JA didn't like.

    If this upset JA, that has got to be the stupidest, most pathetic thing I have ever heard.  Also, does KB choose what graphics are shown?  Doesn't that come from production?  In any event, A) it's true, and B) it puts the Orioles success this year into better context.  F*cking horrible if true of the weak skinned pathetic "man" JA.

    So this is the clip: 

    It goes a lot further than the original quote. Still a stupid decision by JA obviously, but I can kinda squint and see why he didn't like this one.

    I'm confused.  Wouldn't MASN's producers have put up the graphic that KB is reading from?  This seems like it was sanctioned by MASN...

    So here's what I found out:

    Yes, this is 100% true including the statement that got him suspended.
    Lots of folks are not happy over this.
    KB was starting to pick up more and more national assignments
    No one seems to know the length of the suspension or when Angelos will lift it so basically it is indefinite

    My take:

    Pretty ridiculous, but not out of the norm for an Angelos. I'm a bit surprised that Ben McDonald seemed to be covering for the organization on twitter when he said this had to do with scheduling, nothing else. I wonder if Brown starting to get national gigs was rubbing Angelos wrong and this was just something he could "put a shot over the bow". I have to imagine that a young, good announcer like Brown will be wanted this offseason so regardless of whether he comes back this year or not, have to think the Angelos' just ran another real good announcer out the door. 

    This has been known by a lot of people since he Tampa series, and is just getting out now. Angelos will either double down now that it's out, or he'll put Brown back on the air under a gag order to not discuss anything. 

    All I know is this probably means more Melanie Newman in the booth and that's not a good thing for Orioles fans. Even in a great year like this, never doubt an Angelos to stick himself into the fray. With the Orioles winning, Angelos has started to climb out of his hole since it's cool to be an Orioles fan once again. 

    Even though I don't want to think about the future here past this season, these kinds of acts do make me fearful that Elias at some point will get another opportunity and bolt, especially if the Orioles win a World Series. Who would want to work for an owner that does stuff like this? 

     

     

    Good god, this pisses me off.

    So, I know Matt a little. He wrote for BSL in the past. I’m not saying he is or isn’t right here. People can get false info but Matt is also not a liar or someone who would say false stuff just for clicks.

    Anyway, JA is petty enough to do this imo.

    I mean.  Brown is making a really interesting and well taken point, and that is beyond pathetic for him to be suspended over that.  Simply incredible.
