I'd drive Kevin Brown to the airport in a second if Gary Thorne would come back.

 

Just my opinion, and I loved Gary Thorne...but as far as Im concerned...Kevin Brown is the best announcer weve had since  Jon Miller...I think he is excellent...

I didn't like Gary Thorne because he used to get excited when opposing team got a big hit against the O's. He announced like he was announcing to a National audience.

Yeah, Thorne was no Kevin Brown, said no one ever.

I think it was a bad idea to have him bat leadoff for the first time against someone like Fried.  

Have him bat leadoff in a series against the A's or some other pathetic team.  

Mullins should always leadoff imo

You’re right, it’s your opinion.

Been listening to Geoff and Melanie since the game started.  As usual, difficult to follow, I had to guess what the grandest of salami’s meant bc I hadn’t put together that the bases were loaded and didn’t know what “can we get a reservation?” meant.

Anyway, heard this morning on MLB Central that Fried was best at inducing soft contact.  A couple hard hit balls in the first and second got me excited that maybe we’d beat that.

Holy cow!

I like Brown, overall, he's fine.  But I liked Thorne's golden pipes.  I mean, Thorne could have been broadcasting in Spanish, I wouldn't have cared.

Like I said, I think Brown is fine but sometimes he gets carried away with the pop culture references a little too much for my liking.  But he doesn't have that voice like Jon Miller and Thorne do.

Half the time, he may well have been.

    • Brecht has TOR upside.  We’re good at finding #3-#5 types just in developing them, but we need that TOR arm upside and develop. 
    • I thought Baker had a better chance of getting a strikeout. Even though he created that mess it looked like he could have worked out of it.  Generally not in favor of bringing in guys for bases loaded situations unless they’re absolute nails and have an extremely high K rate.  Akin’s K rate is higher this year but I still don’t believe he was the better option than Baker. 
    • We’ve been picking really athletic types when not picking high in rd 1. Position player wise.   2023 - EBJ, Horvath, Josenberger, Cunningham, Etzel Not that are prior picks haven’t been athletic, if you know what I’m trying to say. We don’t take plodders as position players. 
    • Your complete mischaracterization of Os players aside, Miller is likely nothing more than a 60-70 IP reliever with high arm injury potential. (Note: when I say nothing more, I mean that as I don’t think they convert him to a starter next year or even if they do, I think he’s a ticking time bomb) I don’t care how old Kjerstad is, he’s a high end prospect that you control for 6 years and Stowers is an everyday OFer with big power potential. Sure, in a perfect world you get younger talent and if so, that’s fine..but if they got offered that and that was the best deal on the table, they should make the deal. FWIW, I think that deal would get beaten or they would get someone that maybe isn’t ranked as high as Kjerstad but someone younger and maybe more all around upside even if they come with a bigger risk.  
    • 100% in on Kirby. Wouldn’t require much on the prospect front. And has some track record.  That’ll require the Rangers to throw in the towel. Not sure they’re there, yet.
    • Yes to Crochet, absolutely not for Miller, yes to Skubal. Skubal will require a haul, though.
