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.

Kevin brings not just a solid and accurate play by play voice and presence to the broadcast, but also respect for the heritage of the Orioles. How many 34 year olds could reference "Aint the Beer cold

"off McArthur". And Palmer followed it up, without skipping a beat, with:  "McArthur made a McStake".

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.

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

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...

      The top Oriole run differentials of all time

      By Frobby · Posted

      The 2024 Orioles already have a run differential of +114, compared to +129 all last year.  The O’s are on a +260 run pace.  Here’s how that compares with the biggest run differentials in Orioles’ history: 1969 +262 1970 *218 1971 + 214 1973 +193 1979 *175 1980 +165 1966 +154 1983 +147 1996 +131 2023 +129 1975 +129 The 2024 O’s already have passed every other team in Orioles’ history in run differential, 71 games into the season.  Hopefully they can climb a long way up this ladder.

      This is a very good article that can levels be summed up as pulling the ball in the air is the best thing a hitter can do. It’s why some guys like Isaac Paredes, Jose Ramirez, Nolan Arenado, and even Anthony Santander (to a degree) can outperform their expected numbers, and one of several reasons why xwOBA, xBA, xSLG, etc. aren’t predictive. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/an-meandering-examination-of-fly-ball-pull-rate-featuring-stars-of-the-game-and-also-isaac-paredes/

      Walker is good but has there been much indication that SFG would trade him? He’s their best reliever and they are only 0.5 games back of a WC spot. Looks like he also has 5 years of control left too.

      Ok, so let's do it this way. Let's take the uniforms and team names off of the situation. Let's say it's not Orioles vs Yankees. But team A vs team B.  Now in that scenario, you compare the pitching talent of Carlos Rodon vs the talent Irvin/Kremer/Povich, which would you favor objectively? When you have an org with this much talent, my opinion is that we should be beyond being the underdog and relying on magical thinking that lesser talented players will outperform more talented ones. I know that we have been conditioned to that being the case for the last 30- 40 years. But it needn't not be that way anymore IMO.

      I think this is the real question. I’ll trade those guys but it would be for a real difference maker. Betts, Ohtani, Soto, Judge, Witt Jr, Harper. No seller has a guy with track record of success and degree of certainty.

      I agree 100% that you can get relievers without your top prospects. The exception might be a closer.    In regards to a bat, I could see Elias upgrading CF. I don’t know if Getz has learned from being unreasonable yet. But it would be a move that I’m all over if it was my decision. Kjerstad would be the main piece going the other way. Robert is controlled and Kjerstad isn’t particularly strong defensively in the OF. I think Santander can be retained for a reasonable contract if need be. This alignment sends you into the offseason with Cowser at me COF and Robert in CF. You’d have Norby, Stowers, and Billy Cook that could fill your 3-5 OF slots if Santander departs. Plus you’d also have the option of moving O’Hearn to RF
