Cincy has done a wonderful job of rewarding their front office's lack of action by losing 5 straight. 

Meanwhile, Mil is trying to walk-off Pitt in 10. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15982]

Mil gets it done, 1.5 up on Cincy.

Loaded with 1 out for Soto in bot 8, down 2. How will SD fuck this one up? 

[shadow_operative2.0 15982]

Welp, Dodgers did instead. 60' ground ball scores two, 2nd & 3rd now. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15982]

And a 2-run single, I should have waited to post.

Reversal of last night.

Wonder if any criminal charges get brought in that white Sox-guardians fight.

Pretty sure being a glass-jawed poser isn't against the law.

[Beau Vine 54226]

And Oh SHIT!!!

 

[UTexasFight 9444]

I get the feeling the ChiSox clubhouse doesn’t have the best chemistry and need a camera rolling for the brawl when TA walks in on the guys laughing at that gif

Great radio call

 

Hamilton has such a great baseball radio voice. And now boxing voice 

[shadow_operative2.0 15982]

Not quite the Anderson/Ramírez spat. 

 

[UTexasFight 9444]

Peacock has to be happy about the timing of that brawl

6 in a row the wrong way for the other Ohio team.

Tim Anderson thinks he's Jackie Robinson AND Michael Spinks

[Beau Vine 54226]

Poooooooooor Angels.

Get clocked and then get suspended the most. Smooth move, ex-lax

[Vic Mackey 47037]

@VirginiaLonghorn Is there any more to this? They suspended this guy for just re-iterating to what the on screen graphic was telling everyone. He called them 'slouches', which is accurate based on those numbers. 

 

[Valmy77 13226]

What the hell? There was absolutely nothing controversial about anything he said. He said they were not slouches, he didn't even insult the Rays.

Baffling.

I’m puzzled.  Kevin Brown is a delightful PBP guy.  He’s factual proving he’s done his homework, quick witted and downright funny, and a perfect foil to two distinct opposite personalities in Jim Palmer and Ben McDonald.

Following is a snippet I found that seems to point to the assholes who unfortunately own the team …
 

“The O’s and MASN have yet to commented (sic) on Brown’s indefinite suspension, but it would appear these orders come from the top.

“Awful Announcing has confirmed through multiple sources familiar with the situation that Brown has been suspended indefinitely, that it came after the Rays series, that he only wound up on the radio for the Phillies’ series thanks to another controversy about a different announcer’s apparel, and that the comment here seems to be what’s at issue,” Andrew Bucholtz, Sean Keeley, and Ben Koo wrote.

This is far from the first time Baltimore’s broadcast booth has been at odds with the organization itself. Peter Angelos fired Hall of Famer Jon Miller in 1997 because of honest commentary about the team’s play. Baltimore also owes the Nationals $100 million (for now) over MASN broadcasting rights fees.

What a mess.”

P.S.  Brown did the women’s college softball WS this year.  So, he’s no slouch ..

Yet they still employ Ben McDonald to talk.

He ain’t that bad an analyst .. once you learn to tune out the inevitable SEC and LSU plugs.

[Carl Spackler 3483]

Absolutely no reason to suspend him for those comments.  WTF is the Baltimore ownership thinking?

Nothing baffling about the Angelos family.  Father and now sons have silenced Jon Miller, Gary Thorne, and Kevin Brown.  O’s-owned MASN BBS is not taking this well.

BTW, one storyline has the Angelos’ slow rolling a new lease for OPACY .. potentially in hopes Nashville comes courting.

Too bad Omar ain’t around to clean up that mess …

[Scraps 13561]

That is some throbbing pussy stuff there jfc

Cease gets pulled after giving up 1 hit after 5 1/3 ip. 104 pitches. That’s hard to do. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15982]

He threw 79 in 1.2 last start, the most in less than 2 since B-R started keeping track. 

[InkaUtexas 25938]

Red Sox walk it off with a grand slam. Yeah, I know it was against the Royals, but needed that win.

The Orioles are such a fun team and story this year, and the fragile imbeciles in their front office will suddenly make it easy to hate them.

I struggled to find a single thing wrong with what he said.

[TornACL 7698]

Thank God for the shitty ass Angels bullpen.

[shadow_operative2.0 15982]

Yep, was just coming to post that the Angels are Angels'ing. 

Will be 7 in a row for them. 

[TornACL 7698]

Hopefully this 9th inning will finally get this fucking offense scoring some runs again. Because the schedule is about to get brutal.

Maybe just him pointing out how much the Orioles had struggled at Tropicana Field...but come on the network even made a little graphic for it. It wasn't like he was going off script blasting the Os for sucking. 

[Wally Pryor 5261]

Aaron Boone makes the most of his ejection.

 

[Guest]

Boone just had PTSD from witnessing Angel Hernandez on Sunday…

hard to blame him

Edited August 8, 2023 by slorch

[Helobious 9453]

That was awesome. Punch-out imitation was a new wrinkle that I liked. Pretty much the only thing Boone excels at is getting ejected.

It's no Lou Piniella stealing a base, but that was pretty good.
