How's Kevin Brown for you? (edited)

Sorry, I just wanted to try to create the shortest threat ever...  

(Moderator comment: Edited title since it was misleading.)

You know what, he’s getting better. Look around the league at the announcers for teams. He’s a lot better.

I enjoy Kevin brown, and his call on Miranda’s first base hit made me laugh 

[NelsonCruuuuuz]

I love Kevin Brown

[Barnaby Graves]

I like Kevin.

Take a listen to the Bowie announcer if you want to feel very thankful for what you’ve got.

Over/under in the number of Star Wars jokes and references in tomorrow night's broadcast?

[Frobby]

Isn’t there already a Kevin Brown thread going?   

[O's84]

You got me scared for a minute, I thought he was gone given the thread title.

I appreciate Kevin Brown.  I imagine others on this forum do too, and will make this far from the shortest thread ever.

He's not bad.  But he's not great, either.

This is what kills me.  I think it was you that said he tried to be too cute all the time and I agree with that.  

[Big Al]

I think he does a good job, and in all likelihood will get better with experience.

I like Kevin Brown. I think he does a nice job of gently bringing modern day analytics and sabermetrics to a mainstream audience. And he's kinda funny, in a "nerdy young dad" kind of way.

He definitely does - LOL. He'll sit back and crack jokes with Palmer like they're lifelong BFFs and I almost feel sorry for him. Palmer is a good sport though.

I do like him though. Gotta get used to him like anyone else. Having him call a few winning seasons for us will help. 

Took me a while to warm up to Thorne because of his quirks, but loved him in the end. Then again, he gave us "Don't throw it away... DON'T THROW IT AT ALL!!!"

Once KB has his "don't throw it away" moment, everyone will love him. In the meantime, I appreciate him for what he is - a green PxP announcer with a tremendous voice and a weird sense of humor.
