Right.   I speculated that with the two new hires from A ball, one might be hosting the postgame with Demper since it appears Davis isn't anymore, and one might be a sideline reporter.   But nothing has been announced there.   I even made sure to put my speculation in a followup post rather than the initial post where i linked the article and listed the facts.  (Which woundup getting merged with a thread eddie started while I was composing my  messaage).

I was gonna say earlier, you can't put the woman working with Dempsey...

So is this the end of Hunter's modest "2 year broadcasting streak" on the radio for games?

I actually don't mind Hunter on the radio.   Give me Palmer and Thorne all day.   Kind of insulted by the fact that they're using this press release to say that it's a "diverse" team.  As so

The worst thing to come out of today is now Jason La Canfora is going to cohost the 2pm to 6pm show on 105.7 The Fan with Ken Weinman. Not a fan of him in the slightest. 

And La Canfora was a Red Sox fan before becoming the world’s most obnoxious Orioles fan in 2012.

 

Who at the Fan thinks putting JLC on during drive time is a good idea. I don’t hate Weinman, but he needs someone to balance him out, not rant right back at him.

Man, growing up with Jon Miller and then having Joe Angel for the better part of two decades, this is just so all over the place.  A single golden voice builds a bond with the fan base.

I loved Jon Miller on the radio.  But I still remember Chuck Thompson being the very best.  As for Thorne on tv, I just can't listen to him.  Probably due to his time as a hockey pbp and his HATRED of all things Caps.  Loved Mel Proctor/John Lowenstein on HTS, especially as Brother Low got more and more sauced as the game wore on.  "Babooshka" as a home run call, through a slurred speech ... Mel Proctor stifling his laughter.  What do you call a pretty woman in Cleveland?  A tourist.  They made the games fun.

I am disappointed that Kevin Brown will be back, he is terrible. What he says is not interesting,  the way he says it is not interesting and his voice is not interesting. When you’re on the radio, you’re a storyteller, and you have to have an engaging voice, which he does not have and you have to describe events in an interesting way, which he does not do.

I liked Brown

This is the best offseason news for me. I cannot stand Jim Hunter one iota. Not on tv, not on radio, not at all. He strikes me as a complete phony. I understand he’s just doing his job, but he grew up a dang Yankees fan! His Goodship Lollipop spin on everything has gotten so tiresome over the years. My mute button will finally get a rest this summer.

I noticed that they weren't clear on the roles for the new people.  That's probably intentional so they can move people around as they see fit.

I am sure Melanie Newman knows her stuff.  You don't get promoted to being on ML coverage for a team if you don't.  

That said, I hope she's not doing the play by play.  

Probably therapy for going through a 162 game schedule broadcasting for this team. Playing on a bad team is one thing, watching and announcing is even worse IMO.

      Pick your 40 man roster (protect list) for Nov 20th.

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      You’re right, he was not optioned in 2022, but he was first optioned September 8, 2021 by the Blue Jays. It’s in the extra rows of latest transactions on his player page: https://www.mlb.com/player/bryan-baker-641329 I use the Roster Resource page on Fangraphs, which shows he’s on his last option this year: https://www.fangraphs.com/roster-resource/depth-charts/orioles I initially didn’t check when he was first optioned, just assumed it was 2022, but turns out it was 2021. Regardless, he’ll be out of options next year.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      Any thoughts on who that “Verlander” like player could be? I would have said Alcantara but he doesn’t have a larger contract and he is hurt. I can’t identify that kind of player out there right now. None of the obvious selling teams have any really good pitchers. Maybe Berrios or Kikuchi if the Jays decide to sell? But Kikuchi isn’t expensive and is Berios really an ace? Sonny Gray? But the Cards are actually slightly over .500. I just can’t seem to find that kind of guy out there.

      I think the Yankees series is very simple. Try to have nobody on base when Judge and Soto come to the plate. Get to there bullpen early. A lot easier said than done.

      What does the Bradish injury really mean?

      By Safelykept · Posted

      and youre persona is to ask or give multiple questions and answers to the same narrative. No quality starts? How bout seven starts with a 1.91 ERA and a whip slightly above one. OK I get it everybody waiting for it blowup, but honestly all things being equal why would be matching Suarez against Suarez so youre criticism of our Saurez is not as good as stat wise the best pitcher in the game so far. And in addition a quality start is some stat from a generation age that nobody pays attention to. No doubt the phillies getting full value for the buck on Saurez (5 mil). were paying league min. I'll take it

      Urias and Santander are slower than Rutschman.  O'Hearn is actually faster than Hays and Mountcastle. At least according to statcast sprint speed which isn't an exact analog to base stealing ability. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/sprint_speed?min_season=2024&max_season=2024&position=&team=BAL&min=10

      Hopefully the O's took notes on the Red Sox exposing Trevino on Sunday night. Anyone not named McCann, Rutschman, and O'hearn - if you get on base, just run.

      I just read a take on his changeup that loved it - thought it might help him be a "reverse splits" kind of RH middle reliever. Right now the Orioles have a bunch of lefties though should Coulombe end up okay.
