The Baltimore Orioles should be ashamed of themselves. One of the best stories of the year on the field and they suspend one of the best young announcers in the game for this? The producer had to approve the graphic anyway. Kevin will be a star, probably in another team’s booth.
Here's the clip of Kevin Brown's pregame comments on the Orioles' recent record against the Rays ahead of a series finale on July 23. Sources tell AA these comments led to Brown's current indefinite suspension from Orioles' broadcasts.

This is how we know that Mets ownership and management are seriously committed to winning at all costs. Cano was the obvious choice to be excised. His roster spot was a redundancy, but that’s a lot of money for any owner to swallow. It’s a meritocracy and that’s how it should be.

My goodness, that is nothing short of an absolute, total disgrace. They should be embarrassed. Either you’re major league or you’re not. Utterly reprehensible. Baseball on the radio is art and is the last sport that should ever simulcast. Serves no one.
This is new: The Blue Jays won't broadcast directly on radio this season for the very first time. They will simulcast the TV broadcasts on radio. I love Dan Shulman and Buck Martinez doing TV. I really do. But historically I haven't loved simulcasts of any kind.

This is a particularly uninformed, ignorant and ridiculous take. The Mets have staged Old Timers Day since their first season in 1962. Eventually it ceased to be an annual event, but their fans have clamored for it’s return. “One up the Yankees?” How? Get a clue.

Keith Hernandez is better than either Scott Rolen or Harold Baines, yet isn't in the HOF. He slashed .296/.384/.436, was a NL batting champion, NL MVP, 2 time Silver Slugger and the greatest defensive 1B ever, winning 11 straight Gold Gloves. Put him in Cooperstown... now.
