Jorge takes a ball, gets called a strike.

Pitcher then throws 2 more balls in the exact same spot and predictably Mateo can't do anything with them.

As long as you’re homers in every game he does that…. I’m OK

I'm a big fan of Kevin and I'll take Roy's vote of support that he is one of the top young broadcasters over the opinions of us amateurs.

Y'all are, of course, entitled to your opinion..but for me Kevin Brown is the best TV Oriole announcer in decades...as good or better than Jon Miller..

Well I was defending him against another post accusing him of having a monotone voice. I do prefer him greatly to Melanie.

Also, when it comes to this topic, I'm not an "amateur," having done a fair number of professional voiceovers.

If you like him, that’s fine. I don’t, with legit reasons. But I’ve no interest in raining on any parades, so if you like him, that’s great.

I won't lose sleep if you don't like him, I promise. It's a game, there are no parades to be rained on. It's a good thing everyone doesn't like the same thing, how boring would that be? Legit reasons are yours, and you are entitled to them, but it doesn't make them right, etc.

Ump gave him no choice, and Mateo doesn't appear to be a good golfer.

Oh, I'm blaming the HP ump.

If Phil has to be my second in command on the anti-Brown crusade, well so be it.

Misread that. I thought you were blaming Jorge, my mistake.

Great play by Mateo
