Your record overall isn't exactly stellar.

My record is impeccable.

I don't have MLB.tv anymore.  Anyway, I like Ben so I'd keep it here regardless.

The thing is that I actually feel kinda bad about bagging on Garceau.  He seems like a really, nice genuine guy and he's been doing Baltimore sports forever.  It's just that he's painful to listen to.

My feelings too. 

I really enjoyed him on the radio with Jeremy Conn. Great guy. Like his stories.

This combo, to me, is better than what we had in Texas and Cincinnati but not better than Brown and Ben.

I'm coming around on Brown, probably because he's not Garceau or Newman.  It's a low bar, but it is what it is.  The pop culture references and trying to be cute still can be annoying but it's not as irksome as it was initially.  I suppose you could say I'm getting used to it.

I actually like Brown a lot, and I think he's going to be a really good play by play announcer

Ben makes any combination bearable for me.

Still plenty of time left, but it would suck if a winnable game slips away from the Orioles. 

Yeah the Pirates pitching staff is awful, hate to have a repeat of the Cincy series.

This close to a down vote!

They're the lowest scoring team in MLB. We really shouldn't have any issues taking 2 of these games.

First few games Brown sounded like Joe Buck to me (read: not ideal) but after that initial snap judgement I was wrong. I'm a fan. Guy is skilled.

Wow, Mountcastle going the other way.

I do like his voice. Just more baseball, less trying to be funny.

Kevin Brown is easily the best play-by-play announcer currently employed by the Orioles, but I still miss Gary Thorne.

Did anyone mention Kremer’s nice clean inning?
