Not sure if it’s already been discussed but there needs to be someone with #Free Kevin Brown shirts right behind home plate tomorrow night. Also some chants going.

Sell the team chants.

Who are these heavy pro-Angelos posters?  I've never seen one.

"pro-Angelos"?   Not sure I've ever seen or heard of such a thing in the last 25 years.

Britt made a point early on to indicate that the word “suspended” wasn’t used. I hope they don’t try to use this as a defense!

 

Let the spin begin.

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.

Good God, as if my hate wasn't bad enough already.

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.

Just an absolute disaster on all levels. Angelos needs to sell the team. And I can’t wait for whatever crap lead broadcaster we get for next year when Kevin leaves. 

Lots of Garceau and Newman.

I'm just catching wind of what went down, and IF these rumors of why Brown was taken off the air are true, it is an embarrassment to this entire organization and utterly disgraceful by ownership.

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.
