Gary Thorne is Back

Turns out it was a salary dispute.

What!!!!!!  

[eddie83]

They kept that quiet. 

Hope he is back next year.

Thorne is the man.  Golden pipes.  Mispronounce names all you want, Gary, it's all good.

Sad that it's only for remote parts. So far the Zooms have had bad audio and awkward interruptions with the other commentators because of the slight delay.

Gary Is the only one of the oriole broadcast team that I would allow onto the spaceship of refugees heading to the New World

The ship with the phone sanitizers? 

[Aristotelian]

Excellent news. Didn't realize how much I'd miss him til he was gone.

Orioles knew he had leverage with the reds job opening up tonight.

[Chavez Ravine]

Missing all the Santander home run calls must have been driving him nuts.

Did he get officially fired yet?  I can't find anything actually saying so, but it seems inevitable now.

Someone PM me with what was actually said.

But yea, judging by his apology/Home run call he's gone.

Can't really post the link, language.  Just google Jeff Passan Reds announcer may be fired (or go to his Twitter), there's multiple links with his tweet that has the offending video/audio clip from the broadcast.

Someone put his mic on before he realized it, but it doesn't excuse him having the conversation he was having, especially anywhere within 100 feet of a broadcast mic.

[Can_of_corn]

Yea that wasn't the first time he said that in his life.
