Melanie Newman lead play by play. That’s how JA will get back in good graces with the media.

I don't think she's very good at play by play, but she does seem like a moral and principled person. I don't know if she would go in for being a pawn in the Orioles' attempt at damage control.

The irony here is that Angelos and the Orioles brass are getting far more negative publicity from this than any possible negative interpretation of what Brown said on the air could ever have caused.   By a factor of a million.  So stupid and tone deaf.  

It's the literal definition of the Streisand Effect.

You know what’s really ironic? If it’s off limits to bring up the past when the team was bad, why do we keep getting the same game replays during every rain delay from when the team was completely irrelevant, you’d think JA would have the Delmon Young double game on loop. 

Im not sure what the mentioning of old Orioles is even supposed to mean.

You literally  just had a huge celebration of old Orioles and have just asked 2 former players to come into the booth recently.

And you have seemingly patched things up with Jones. 
 

So, what exactly does that even mean? What former players are issues?

It might need to be renamed to the Angelos Effect after today. I never saw such a complete non-story get blown up into the biggest story in MLB in less than twelve hours.

It's literally being talked about on every game being broadcast today because it concerns an Orioles announcer being silenced.

I guess it’s ok to have memories of the Orioles of the past, as long as you have selective memory.

    • I’m not saying we can’t trade for Scott. Or that we shouldn’t trade for someone. More that we basically already have one reliever we don’t have to trade for. But a guy who will likely have a relatively high whip due to command issues but have a well above average k rate… I also just don’t love rentals in general. Hit or miss as to whether they perform well anyway (hey jack flaherty) and then it’s gone. If you don’t win that year it’s all for nothing. For the right cost I’m okay with it, but I don’t want to give up a major prospect for a rental unless it’s the piece that puts us over the top 
    • They are not in a rebuild. And I don't want to waste time imagining that the team is bad and trading our best young players. As a matter of fact, I hope we don't have to do that for years to come. I envision adding good players not how can we get rid of the good ones that we have. I have waited my whole life to finally have a team this good. I don't mind at all trading good prospects. And have no delusional expectations that we can get value without surrendering value. Nor am I in love with the notion that we have to have a cheap, homegrown team. As a matter of fact, I want and expect the org to spend much more money on payroll than it is doing currently. Lastly, what happened with Gausman is in the past and under a totally different administration (ownership + front office). We were selling then. We are buying now.
    • Is there a reason it should be? He’s still walking 5.5+ batters per 9. He’s still got things he can work on. No rush to get him up unless it’s as a reliever down the stretch or a spot start. 
    • I mean Tanner Scott at least has a Major League track record. How much do you think Scott will really cost? Also, we have more position players and prospects that we could ever use. I understand maybe not wanting Scott, but I don't understand the logic of not wanting surrender any prospects (even some good ones). We almost have to at some point. Otherwise, you have 25 year old top level prospects like Kjerstad, who is in his prime now and killing it at AAA but has no place on the Big League roster. Stowers is even older and has contributed relatively nothing to the Orioles and is now age 26.
    • Way to avoid the question.  If the O's were in rebuild mode and had Gray Rod in the exact position he is now, what kind of prospect package would you want?  Fans here are notorious for not wanting to give up any good prospects for other team's best players but then want the world for their own less than perfect players.  When Gausman was about to be traded here (way less an impressive pitcher than Gray Rod is now), posters here were convinced that the O's would get 3 top 100 prospects for him.  The O's got none
