The Free Kevin Brown episode. World Champ Houston Astros in town

[dzorange]

I will say that The Kevin brown thing hasn’t changed the TBS broadcast much. They still paint the O’s as an extremely likable team. And the crowd’s been hot

[Sports Guy]

I would like to know why Grayson isn’t throwing the CU much at all. We have always heard that was his out pitch and now he almost never throws it.

Damn this team really is legit guys. They expect to win and I expect them to win. I can’t remember the last time I felt that way about an Os team. This is unbelievable it really is. 

I've been wondering if guys like Altuve and Bregman see the 2016-17 Astros flashing before their eyes.  The amount of talent on the field is really something.

The Orioles must lead the league in DPs or something. As good as this offense has been, that is frustrating.

We're 10th in the league in GIDP.

Chants are back

I was thinking something similar earlier this evening. That's exactly what they must be thinking.

Angelos looking at the MASN crew to not mention the chant:

Possibly, Ramon? They moved Westburg to 3rd which is a defensive downgrade so he must have something going on.

Not that much of a downgrade.

Oh my... I really think they did turn down the crowd mics. 

They did. They did it in the precise moment Devo was talking during Mateo's At Bat.

Defensively? I'm not sure I agree.

On the other side of that, I believe they said the Astros lead the AL in turning DPs. 

So there's that. 

Edit:  Yep, they're third in the Majors behind Colorado (1.03) and Washington (0.98), at 0.93 DPs per game.

That free Kevin Brown chant died down very quickly. 

Good, it’s beyond stupid. We’re in 1st place facing the defending champs.
