Today, he mentioned that the closer (Ecreg) was off drugs and alcohol and four years sober. Ok, happy for him, but do we need to hear about this in the 9th inning of a one-run game? We were all pretty deflated after Kimbrel blew it and I didn't care at all at that point about this guys' personal demons being exorcised. We were on the brink of losing but it was still a close, competitive game at that point. This may have been on MASN though that Ecreg's sobriety "had" to be discussed. 

So is Brown just supposed to not speak when you’re feeling down about the O’s? Guy still has a job to do a game to discuss.

No, I get it. But it was a close, competitive game at that point. Maybe there isn't a great time to speak about it, but it's not baseball related. I don't care about the pitcher's personal drama when the game is on the line. Wait for another time. It also doesn't mean not speak at all, lol, just not about that pitcher's personal life at that time!

To all The Kevin Police - If you have Kevin Issues, put it on mute. This whole thread is getting rediculous - IMO! Or suspend him like JA did. There is sooooo much more to complain about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Again tonight Kevin showed that he doesn't understand the 3-batter minimum rule for pitchers. Cionel pitched to one batter & ended the 6th inning, but in the 7th Kevin said that Cionel still needs to face 2 batters. I'm surprised that someone hasn't pointed out to him that once you end the inning, the 3-batter minimum no longer applies.

He does need to face 2 if he comes back out

As the expression goes, "you learn something new every day." I didn't realize that, so thanks for clarifying.

Browns pronunciation does sound odd, and not how Hyde pronounces it.

Hyde has trouble pronouncing Urias and Santander, so I'll go with KB on this one.

I thought his pop culture knowledge made a nice moment today when Palmer said that Mr. Splash bobblehead was one of the best ones of the Splash people, and Kevin pretty smoothly went to something like, "Do you mean like Tom Hanks and Darryl Hannah?", wondering who other Splash people are.    Older person Palmer seemed glad a younger person knew something more from his era.

And maybe good judgment after the Mateo HBP just moving on when Palmer said in baseball that's what they call a toe job.

Does anyone hear an "N" when Brown pronounces "Yennier"? I hear something like "Yen-yen". Is that actually the correct pronunciation? 

I think it's pronounced YEN-yuh

    • Now overall I notice 29 K's in 17 innings. That ratio of 1.7 is top of the line for a starter!
    • Urias looks pretty cooked too though, and he's not providing the kind of defensive flexibility that Mateo is, and he doesn't have very good splits for platooning.  At least for 2023 and 2024 Mateo has had good platoon splits.
    • SSS but Holliday was playing incredible defense after like the first game or two when he seemed to have some jitters.  He had +3 OAA in a very short span.  Mateo has looked a little awkward at 2nd to be honest, and he's not the best at making the double play turn.
    • Hoping for a speedy recovery. That all happened fast. Not my initial impression reading the write up.
    • McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.
    • I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it. 
    • Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.
