I have my opinions and they have theirs. I've been in broadcasting for close to 50 years now . Ive been a play by play and color analyst  myself, though thats not what I do best.. I've seen and heard

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

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.

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.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I didn't watch a pitch Sunday after that Saturday debacle. I had a charity ride to attend anyways, but I was not wasting a Sunday on this 2024 squad.  I'll probably watch some of the Yankees game, but my heart is out of this squad. I still want them to win, but they have given me no reason since May to think this team has any special abilities.  Injuries hurt them for sure, but they just don't have that "it" factor. They have the choke factor down pat though. I can deal with a bad team. Hell, I ran this place through the darkest, leanest years.  But what I can't deal with is an anti-clutch team. This is a team that can look victory in the face and find a way to lose. This is team with no ability to finish off a comeback.  Hell, even in their walk offs it's after their relievers choked away a lead.  The lack of hitting is boring. The lack of situational hitting is boring. The strikeout/homerun all or nothing approach is boring. The fact that they no longer steal bases or put pressure on the defense unless you count Masolino getting guys thrown out by 10 feet, is boring. The fact that both of their super prospects not came up did poorly, but literally crapped the bed and hit like pitchers is boring.  The fact that both of their number one overall selections have been either bad or awful is boring.  The fact that the "TOR" they picked up this offseason took a month and half "off" is boring. The fact that the Orioles still have Jimenez and Rivera on this team is boring.  It's just a boring team.  I'm just not interested in this 2024 squad and have zero faith in them that they can do anything in the playoffs. Even against the Royals (who will run all over the Orioles if they play them) or Twins, I don't give them much of a chance.  I'll never root against an Orioles team, and I hope that some miracle happens and they suddenly become a better team. But I will continue to say that this has been one of the most frustrating Orioles Playoff teams of all time.

      Jayden Daniels 55 air yards pass

      Now that Snyder has gone I can passively hope they do well. They should have kept the old name (Washington Football Team).

      By OriolesMagic83 · Posted

      Daniels just completed a pass for 55 yards thru the air.  The guy has a heck of an arm.  Commanders look like a good team again and are dominating an 0-2 Bengals team that is desperate for a win.  21-10 in 2nd quarter.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      By survivedc · Posted

      Westburg is the guy I'd want to run a bit more, he seems a bit more like a heady type player so I could see his instincts growing there, and he had decent numbers in the minors. He's had an interesting year in the SB department, stole 4/5 in the month of April, then 1/3 in May and 1/1 in June, but hasn't had a straight steal since June 3rd. Wonder if moving up in the lineup killed his run game?

      Or a guy that can just come up and give innings when the bullpen is shot after a doubleheader or even give a spot start and then be sent back down.  Is Pham a likely future ML starter, no, but he might bail the O's out of a pitching bind multiple times next year.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By slakattack · Posted

      Saturday's game was epically bad and not the type of loss a team on the upswing into the playoffs would suffer and one that I certainly hate to witness. I couldn't watch most of the game Sunday, but I wouldn't DVR it and then peek at the score either, I don't think that I would ever watch if I knew the outcome of a game in advance. The surprise elation (Gunnar's bases loaded double) and the agony of the non-send and inability to hit a sac fly is what keeps me coming back, old fool that I am.

      Orioles attendance 2024

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      Predicting what the attendance will do next year is like predicting Hurrican season in January.  There are so many outside factors that it is just a guess.  How will they finish the year, how much will the spend in the offseason, how many corporations want to get ticket plans,   how is the economy in 6 months, how do they play next season what teams we play and when, will teams like Red Sox, Yankees and big draws play well.   I also think one of the biggest factors is what corporations want to sponsor give aways and what time of promotions will they run.  If you look at attendance some of the largest attendance games minus the Phillies, Yankees games are for the best giveaway souvenirs.
