I can confirm this is true.

So here's what I found out: Yes, this is 100% true including the statement that got him suspended. Lots of folks are not happy over this. KB was starting to pick up more and more national ass

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.

This is why, despite numerous reports confirming that the Tampa comments were the sole reason he was reprimanded, I still think there has to be more to this. Might not be *much* more, but KB must've done something previously to incite JA's ire.

I know, I keep making the mistake of assuming that JA is a normal, emotionally balanced human, who couldn't possibly have acted so rashly.

Yeah maybe... I just know that it doesn't matter. Whatever added context there is that contributed to this decision, there's no chance that it makes it any less unforgivable.

They’re more concerned about who leaked it than righting the wrong. There was s no help possible for them. They are beyond saving. 

Reminds me of a certain non-US country... can't say which w/o the politics hammer but I think y'all know which one

This is so sad man. Lowest I've felt about the Orioles in years. I'm not even looking forward to the game tonight. There's just a pall over everything right now. And you can extrapolate how this kind of behavior eventually chases Elias and Sig away, and it trickling down to the product on the field. The great development and drafting work will keep us afloat for awhile, but then what? Almost anywhere is a greener pasture than working for John Angelos. We got LUCKY Elias came here.

In an incredibly Orioles-ass turn of luck, we are stuck with a somehow worse version of Peter Angelos for the next SEVERAL DECADES if they don't sell. It's unbelievably dire to think about. What an insane, horrible turn of events. It makes me sick to think about this just absolutely ruining a magical season. 

The optimistic response to this is that plenty of teams have won on the field despite complete incompetence and buffoonery in the owner's box. The Reds won a World Series and Marge Schott was a Nazi sympathizing trainwreck. The A's won three straight titles with Charlie O. Finley as the owner. Talent is talent.

Oh man Marge Schott and her Saint Bernard... what a character

OMG TEH KEVIN BROWN SCANDAL IS SUCH A DISTRACTION!!!!!1111

It's all Kevin Brown's fault, if only he were a good boy, we wouldn't be looking at fighting for a wild card spot two weeks from now!

We could turn this into a "blame Kevin Brown for everything" meme, he might get a kick out of that

Rain on game day?  Kevin's fault

If you don't know the context how can you say that?  There could be reasons that are even less forgivable.  I can easily see Brown as a pawn in a MASN internal powerplay.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By ScGO's · Posted

      I firmly believe Elias is attempting to build a package around Mountcastle and Kjerstad w/ 2 to 3 lesser valued pieces in exchange for a good starter

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      We probably need to consider who we want facing Soto out of the pen. We need a Soto stopper. https://stathead.com/baseball/versus-finder.cgi?player_id1=soto--003jua&utm_medium=sr_xsite&utm_source=br&utm_campaign=2023_01_player_innernav_stathead&__hstc=107817757.2f3f33a24b44870ec4a577029c49e44b.1699920000170.1699920000171.1699920000172.1&__hssc=107817757.1.1699920000173&__hsfp=966217318 Those are his career stats versus all pitchers. He tunes mostly everyone up pretty good. Some lefties stand out though. More as SP though. Just something to think about for what it seems is an inevitable playoff showdown.

      Albert Suarez 2024

      By emmett16 · Posted

      So I’ve spent a bunch of time of Suarez’ BBref page and it’s fascinating.  17 seasons of baseball all over the world in an a ton of leagues (APPY, NYPL, MIDW, GULF, FLOR, VEWL, SOUL, TL, NL, PCL, CALL, ARZ, JPEL, JPCL, KBO, IL, AL) The thing I’ve noticed is that he is incredibly consistent.  In all those 17 seasons: 1. His total era in all 17 years is 3.60 (3.81 MLB, 3.71MiLB, 3.45 Foreign) 2. His total H9 is is 9.0 (8.4MLB, 8.9MiLB, 9.1 Foreign) 3. His total HR9 is 0.7 (.9MLB, .8MiLB, .5 Foreign) 4. His total BB9 is 2.7 (3.0MLB, 2.5MiLB, 2.8 Foreign) 5. His total k9 is 7.0 (6.8 MLB, 6.7 MiLB, 7.7 Foreign) He’s done that pitching  quite a few innings (175MLB, 636MiLB, 676 Foreign) For comparison sake this year he is 2.43era, 7.9H9, 0.2HR9, 3.3BB9, & 6.8K9.  His H9 & HR9 are down a good bit resulting in the lower era.  The BB9 is up slightly and the k9 is right at his career average.  I see some regression  in his future as the HR9 returns closer to career avg. but I don’t see him completely falling off a cliff.   Hes not going to over power you but you know what your going to get.  I find it pretty incredible how he’s maintained a very consistent output of performance throughout his 17 years.  Not a lot of peaks and values.  That has a ton of value.  Glad to see him have some success in the later part of his career.  Easy guy to root for.

      Cowser has shown his defense is good in center too.  Robert strikes out more than Cowser and I don’t see wasting resources on him.  I can’t image the orioles would want him.

      Nolan Hoffman has 15 straight scoreless IP in AAA. What do we make of him?

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      Definitely a potential up/down righty on righty option behind Tate. Definite 40 man add this off-season if he keeps it up.
