My interview with Kevin Brown


Roy Firestone

Recommended Posts

I really like Kevin as our PBP guy. Yes, he’s young, he’s excitable, his references may not always hit home with everyone… but I see someone who is improving every year, who seems to love what he’s doing, and who (at age 33) should get even better as years roll on… plus I think he makes a great counterpart to Ben, who has also really come into his own as an excellent analyst / color broadcaster. I am always a little disappointed when someone other than Kevin kicks off a game.

Agreed. And I know previously that some folks here didn’t like that KB could be a bit of a “homer” on air, but recent news could possibly suggest that was… how he was instructed to sound?

What an age we live in?  Never before would a somewhat obscure baseball dude get so much support from people of all types. People don’t like rich millionaires treating others like crap. 

Is this so bad that it makes Angelos have to sell the team?

In the same post you wonder about millionaires treating others like crap and if this is something that’d make Angelos sell.

I meant my post as a positive about “what an age we live in?”.  I’m genuinely shocked that a story like this went viral. I’m very happy it did. To clear up any confusion.

He is doing tonight's Clemson/Virginia Tech game.  First time I've heard him do basketball.  He is doing a good job, clearly well prepared and knows the important players and story lines.  He keeps up with the action and identifies who is doing what as it happens.  And he is working well with his color person.  

Playing it pretty straight.  No pop culture references or forced attempts at being funny.

    • the question isn’t about being able to make the offers, it’s about being awarded compensatory picks for more than one.
    • I don’t consider a 4 o’clock game a night game. He also caught Wednesday night and Thursday day this week. Moral of the story is McCann will start 4 games in 7 days because he is Burnes preferred catcher.
    • It is absolutely possible. In 2022, the Mets gave a QO to Bassitt, Nikki, and DeGrom. The Red Sox gave a QO to Boegarts and Eovaldi. The Yankees gave a QO to Judge and Rizzo. The Dodgers gave a QO to Turner and Anderson. I know that it seems to be a foregone conclusion that Santander will not be on the team after this season, and while I generally agree that it is more probable than not that he will not be re-signed, I do think there is a non-zero chance that he will be retained. I think he is the most likely of Mullins, Hays, and himself to be retained, even if it is a small chance. The team has told us how they feel about his bat because he plays essentially everyday, and I have heard Kostka say that they value his clubhouse presence.
    • Santander won’t get a QO, and if he did, he would accept. His defense is declining and we have too many capable youngsters who should replace him effectively. But to your question, I don’t know if there’s a limit, but I doubt it.
    • O's will probably have to wait till July for a trade because there are so many more buyers than sellers.  I think teams like the Blue Jays, Rays Tigers and Mets are likely to be sellers but they are still in the race although not very good teams as constituted. 
    • No Scott. He’s way too undependable. We need someone who WON’T enter a game and walk folks like he’s promoting a healthy lifestyle. He’s been a lot bette4 this season, but he’s too undependable, and we already have too many of those. No Flaherty either. That’s like taking your GF back after she cheated on you.
    • The team's continued success has really put Elias on the spot IMO and I don't see a Flaherty type as an option anymore.  My money is on a sensible trade that comes at a price high enough that most of us here, including myself, won't like, but a premium comes with having bad luck and that's where the O's are at the moment.
