The Houston #Astros come back and knock off the Baltimore #Orioles, 2-1, and remain in 1st place in the wild AL West
The Orioles walk it off in 11 innings and retake a 2-game lead! Earlier in the game, both the Orioles and the Rays clinched a playoff berth. #MLB#Orioles#Rays
August 13, 1969 (54 years ago today, #OTD): #Orioles pitcher Jim Palmer threw a no-hitter against the Oakland Athletics at Memorial Stadium in #Baltimore, in front of a recorded attendance of 16,826. At that point, the Orioles were in 1st in the American League East, with a 14.5 game lead over the 2nd-place Detroit Tigers. Palmer threw 142 pitches: 123 fastballs, 18 curveballs, 1 changeup.

@awfulannouncing It'd be one thing if he was "riffing" and just trying to disparage the team's past performance, but... THERE WAS AN ENTIRE GRAPHIC MADE. Did the producers, directors, etc. on the production side get suspended too?

This is very simple. There are facts and opinion.
Kevin recited facts, and only facts.
If he’s been suspended for that, it’s my opinion that it is so small and ridiculous as not to be believed.

Yes to everything Jason said and more. Kevin is terrific. Fair, measured, and as talented as they come. He said nothing wrong. The Orioles should feel lucky to have him.
If you've not seen what the Orioles announcer was suspended for, he stated the Orioles record in Tampa over the last few years.

Kevin Brown is one of the most talented, thoughtful, curious, positive people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting, working with and calling a friend.
He’s truly one of the best play-by-play announcers in the country.
If the Orioles don’t want him, another team’ll be elated.
