According to reports, Baltimore Orioles announcer Kevin Brown has been suspended for sharing facts during a pre-game telecast.
Brown pointed out the team’s struggles against the Tampa Bay Rays, mentioning that they haven’t won a series at Tropicana Field since 2017 and have the same number of road wins over the Rays this season as the past three years combined.
This is absolutely ridiculous. Kevin Brown is one of the best broadcasters in the sport. And he’s literally just stating facts and context.
Fans like a measure of impartiality/reality when watching games. https://t.co/F0udy1HFR6

This suspension has been met with disbelief and criticism, as many feel that Brown was simply doing his job and providing impartial analysis. Some have expressed support for Brown, highlighting his skills as a broadcaster and his contributions to the Orioles booth.
“This is absolutely ridiculous. Kevin Brown is one of the best broadcasters in the sport,” The Athletic’s Sam Blum declared. “And he’s literally just stating facts and context. Fans like a measure of impartiality/reality when watching games.”
Others speculate that the Orioles may prefer a broadcaster who downplays the team’s past struggles.
Despite their recent improvement, with an 83-79 record in 2022, the Orioles still have a shaky starting rotation and a six-year playoff drought that they are looking to break.
