I was wondering how long it’d take you to remind us of your Eric Nadel love after you returned. 

I hope you won the raffle!

 

and I hope you listened.

 

And yes I was pretty sure you’d comment, too.

Nadel has been dealing with medical issues(sigh) and he’s in his mid-70s, So it’s unclear how much long he’s going to be broadcasting, but when he has his last day, I will be very sad, and I won’t be the only one.

Can agree to disagree.  While I think what happened to him last year was absolutely wrong and shameful, I wouldn’t miss him if he wasn’t calling games this year. 

Yeah, you’ve made your opinion clear several times.   You’re in the distinct minority.

Do you think I care about being in the distinct minority?

No reason you should.  It’s totally subjective what announcers you like.

I wish for zero Orioles announcers mentions of the unswept regular season streak.     That thing needs to go all the way to 11 on the We don't talk about Bruno scale.

I feel on a gut level Kevin Brown, Brett Hollander and whoever are still going to be shilling it, and it is going to be awful every time.

As long as they have one of them mention the streak and then have a another announcer speak over them saying "Regular season only" I think it's OK to keep it going.

This is where I’m at. Brown has a good voice for calling games, but I could do without his silly references or when he’s trying to be funny. 

It’s baseball, I’m already interested. Don’t screw it up.

I'll just offer my opinion. I DO think I know something about broadcasting, if that matters. But my opinion is, Kevin Brown is the best Oriole PBP man since Jon Miller. He's to me..an absolute gem of a talent.

I completely agree.

I’d take Joe Angel but I’ll take Brown over Thorne.

Man some of you guys are brutal. God forbid the guy actually have a (genuine) personality. KB's one of the best in the game.

He is now calling Virginia at Duke down at Cameron for ESPN, which seems higher up the basketball announcing ranks than I've heard him at to date.

He has called some similar games but this is more of a prime time slot than I have seen him.

Duke is putting it on Virigina and KB breaks out with...

"Virginia's just tilting at windmills right now!"

After he has to explain the Don Quixote reference to fellow announcer, the announcer breaks out with...

"Sometimes I forget how dorky you are."

That's our Kevin Brown, frenz.

Its an interesting control to hear this for observing what parts of his work product are the Syracuse sports media training without him feeling any pressure as a MASN contractor to push the organization's product.

Will Rubenstein's taste for the talking heads to bleed orange be less than either Peter or John's, with the Jon Miller losing and last year's mini-fiasco?

On a certain level it would be fantastic entertainment if the change is ratified and a week or two later in games some of Brown's mannerisms on Orioles broadcasts calm down a little bit.    Bruce Zimmermann isn't Cy Young, why, knock me over...
