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.

I’d say the other announcer is pretty illiterate to not understand that reference.

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

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

How many millions of people have not read Don Quixote yet get it? I’d like people that professionally talk and explain things be able to have a little outside sports knowledge.

I agree with Roy....best since Jon Miller. And I too have been in broadcasting for a long time. 

He’s getting better but there remains no comparison between Brown and Eric Nadel/Matt Hicks.

Or between Brown and Joe Angel/Gary Thorne.

He did say the winning run was on in the bottom of the 8th. The run scored, but it clearly wasn't the winning run. He's okay, though.

In my opinion, and I've been in broadcasting for 45 years...he's the best young announcer I've heard do baseball play by play...and easily the best Oriole broadcaster since Jon Miller...but thats my opinion. And I respect my opinion.

I don't have any problems with Kevin Brown. I enjoy him, just pointing out his faux pas from last night.

He just needs to stop talking about the "Swifties."

I guess it was a faux pas.  I think he understood it was only the 8th inning and it would only be the winning run if the bullpen held the lead.

Definitely not a mistake Jon Miller would have made.   He was a stickler for correct terminology and would have said "go-ahead run".   He does not call it a ground rule double when the ball bounced into the stands, he insists on calling it an "automatic double", because it is based on a standard baseball rule that applies everywhere rather than a ground rule which is specific to a ballpark (i.e. top of the grounds crew roof is a  HR, the catwalks in Tropicana, various yellow lines in different ballparks, etc.   Those are ground rules).

I like Kevin Brown. But I wouldn't go as far as saying he's the best since Jon Miller. I rather liked Gary Thorne too. 

I think Kevin keeps getting better as he continues to do his thing. And he has his own endearing individual personality that he brings to the entertainment product of the baseball games, too. He mixes well with Ben and Jim.

My only criticism is when he gets too distracted with sidetracked thoughts and doesn't pay attention to the action on the field inside the game that's happening.

      That would be pretty cool. Just do me a favor and please don't start the magic number thread in June next season.

      There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.

      I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.
