You can say it all you want, I still find him to be an annoying try-hard ankle biter.  I can't stand it when there's a late and close game and he's trying to get cute with stories an anecdotes and feigning outrage at what Ben McDonald doesn't know.  And I haven't listened to all the young TV baseball announcers so I don't know how to compare him.

I'll say it again, he's firmly behind Thorne and Proctor as far as TV announcers go but still ahead of Jim Hunter and the awful Michael Reghi.  

I don't love KB but he is okay. He seems to have energized Palmer a little bit or maybe it is just because the O's don't stink anymore. I'd put KB at GT's level. At least he doesn't sound drunk after the 5th inning. Thorne has a classic voice and was much more experienced when he came to Baltimore. I don't like announcers who get players names wrong and stumble over their words. Manfra was prone to do that a lot as is SG. I liked Joe Angel 2.0 much better than 1.0. I didn't like Mel Proctor and Newman is just awful. Buck Martinez' voice grated on me so bad I had to listen to the radio and watch the TV. Hunter was okay if you overlooked the stupid homer stuff. Thompson and Miller are my favorites. In writing this, it has become clear to me that the O's have had a few great PBP folks but way more bad over the years.

This is like the 50th thread on KB.

Human behavior is very predictable...this thread is taking the exact same turns as the previous 49.

As @SteveA once said (or was it @BikiniArmstrong), “When you’re beloved, you’re beloved!”  😅

I'll say it again, and continue to say it. Kevin Brown is the best young TV baseball announcer in the business. He is the best Oriole announcer since Jon Miller and  right there, in my opinion, with Chuck Thompson.You can agree or disagree or not care what I think. I value my opinion of broadcasters having been in the business for 46 years. KB is excellent and getting better too.

Roy, your opinion is clearly and obviously correct since it agrees with mine.

I didn't like Mel Proctor...

You're going to need to walk that one back. How can you not like Mel Proctor? Proctor and Lowenstein were like Jerry and Kramer, the straight man and his comic foil. It was beautiful.

I know a lot of folks liked him. I didn't. I can't even remember why. Just one of those things I guess.

Yeah, but I'll eat my way through Mexico and put on 50 pounds before our rematch.

I believe Kevin is heading off to do the Women's College World Series for ESPN very soon, so we will be forced to live without him for a few weeks.   Probably won't have Ben for much of the next month either as he does college baseball.

    • I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.
    • It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.
    • Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.
    • O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted. 
    • No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.
    • The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.
    • I would be very surprised if every last one of the GM's Elias talks to about quality starting pitching doesn't start by asking about Westburg and the rest.  Again, I think it's a mistake to believe that the O's have a ton of leverage here.  They certainly have some, and Elias is smart and disciplined, but I don't see any bargains.  I especially don't see the luxury of acting like youth and multiple years of control is any kind of rigid starting point for the O's.
