I mean, I get why Newman has a job. She’s a woman and the quota must be filled. Garceau though…we already have our old guy quota in Jim Palmer.  Palmer’s never told a story that’s not somehow about hi

I take Garceau because he actually says some interesting Os historical stuff at times.     Newman has a bad voice and has very little knowledge.  I appreciate the fact that she is trying to bre

Proooooooooooooobably yeah. She sort of reminds me of Thorne in that she seems to be trying to catch up b/c she's busy talking about something other than the game. I think a lot of her deficiencies ma

Heard her doing the Rangers game today with Palmer. Good grief is she bad. I know I'm beating a dead horse but sheesh already.

Yeah, she's terrible.  I look forward to watching my O's play a handful of times a week, but when I see her as part of the broadcast team my excitement for the game certainly is lessened.  Just painful to listen to her.

I think I like her better than Garceau. That’s a low bar to hurdle but she actually brings a bit of enthusiasm to the table. Garceau sounds like he’s broadcasting at a morgue. 
 

I’m not saying she’s great, far from it. I just slightly prefer her to Garceau. 
 

 

I prefer her to Garceau too, and it's not slightly.  I think Garceau is absolutely awful.  I think Newman is only a little bit awful.

When is Brown getting back?

Brown has been relegated to calling the games on radio this week with Garceau. I hope he's back on MASN this weekend. I didn't know this until the seventh inning of today's game. 

If I knew this, I would have just listed to this series on radio with the television audio muted.

Brown said last week that Geoff Arnold & Ben McDonald will be on the MASN broadcasts for the Pirates series this weekend. So I'm hoping that Brown will be back on TV at least by next week.

That's right Newman does the Apple TV+ game on Friday, so that probably mean Brown will continue to be on radio this weekend.

Agreed. At least Kevin Brown has grown on me. I don't even want Melanie to.

She’s boring and Garceau is long past his prime. They both stink but I’m not sure either is going anywhere as they don’t care about fan feedback.

Boy do I miss Jon Miller, Joe Angel and the late Chuck Thompson.

Three all-time greats to a real stink-a-roo. Anybody know the email of the guy who hires the broadcasters? I'd like to give him a performance review.

NY Post long-time sports columnist and resident curmudgeon Phil Mushnick blasted her after watching a game she announced for Apple TV+. Pretty funny actually.

      What you want is perfectly reasonable.  But you seem entirely to focused on money.  The team needs to work to improve.  I don't care what it costs, you shouldn't either.  They are going to spend money and payroll will be higher next year and the year after that.  We need them to make improvements and some of that is rightfully going to come from within and not cost much. The improvements that are needed are going to cost too, I'm not saying they wont.  But ownership and the GM should simply work in tandem to make sure the team has what it needs.  I am not really concerned about how much that costs because it should be able to be done without jumping this particular team into say top ten in payroll.

      This is the right approach. the orioles should be spending more money and I believe they will, but I expect it to be measured with less risk (ie we won’t be handing out a Hader type deal or a  long term contract to Santander IMO) improving on some of the obvious weaknesses certainly makes sense.    1x SP: Burnes, Fried, Buehler 1x RH OF/DH: Martinez, O’Neill, Profar 1x 1B: (wishlist) Alonso, Walker

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      Interesting. I had forgotten that they signed him and then got him in the pitching lab in the offseason. Since September is prior to the end of the season, I would take "two year contract" to mean September '23 is Year 1, and then '24 is Year 2.  That is a cool article. Very encouraging how closely they are following the KBO.

      2024 Week 5: Ravens @ Bengals

      By Aglets · Posted

      I think most teams would want to have an MVP candidate at quarterback.   Most of the time this will mean that he is better than the guy they currently have.  That's why. My quote was not taking salary into account.  If you take his current salary into account I think you are still talking about a majority of the NFL teams that would take him right now.  If the salary is an issue you find a way to make it work.  I'm starting to come around to the idea that the salary cap is kinda fake in a way after I keep seeing teams do stuff like adding void years other trickery to get the guys they want.

      2024 Ravens regular season discussion

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Well I sort of disagree here. You said guys have been bad to questionable. I think that’s wrong. I just think a few guys have been awful and that has really hurt us. I would absolutely give Washington more time. Brade and Kane are well liked but doubtful they want to play them much right now. A trade should be considered if things don’t improve.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Yeah, I'd rather keep him over Soto.  I mean Soto can't start.  Yes Soto was dominant at times out of the bullpen but he was also gasoline on a fire out of the bullpen.  I would rather pay Suarez $4 or 5 million, knowing he can start or pitch in the bullpen than Soto, knowing he can only start and is liable to melt down when needed most.

      It is funny how much Hays (the pre-2024 version anyway) matches the type of player they'll likely look for. I doubt that reunion happens though.
