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

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

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.

      The Os will be in the playoffs

      By Hallas · Posted

      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.

      Is it time to upgrade over Urias and McCann?

      By Hallas · Posted

      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.

      Jeff Tackett was also part of the single-worst baserunning display I've seen in my entire life.  No exaggeration.  I was at the game with a friend who was at her first baseball game ever, and she asked me what was going on.  I still have no idea. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/1993/04/18/three-man-jam-at-third-costs-the-orioles-7-5/7eb4c3d6-545f-481a-89f4-9bc0036ad89a/
