- The Baltimore Orioles will be looking for a new, more compliant, announcer, it appears. Kevin Brown was suspended for this statement he made July 23rd -- he's been banned by the team ever since:
"This has been maybe the toughest ballpark to play in. The Orioles have a chance to do something special today. Already clinched a split in the series -- winning two of the first three -- trying to pick up a series win behind Tyler Wells today."
At this point, a graphic notes that the last time the Orioles won a series at Tampa was 2017.
The Orioles are getting rightly blasted, because if you suspend Brown, then everyone involved in that segment, from the truck to the producers to the graphics person, they have to go.
But here's the other thing: The announcers are basically pawns of the owners. The day and age of Vin Scully is long and gone. If you want impartial or at least objective announcing, you may almost want to hit mute and do it yourself!
