At this point I doubt it'll happen, but man can you imagine if it comes out that this was actually over something totally legit after basically every broadcast took a huge shot at the Orioles tonight >_> I'd still put some blame towards Orioles management/ownership's handling of the situation. If there was something more to this they should've said it from the beginning that the announcer has been "indefinitely suspended pending an internal investigation into the matter." That's all that needed to be said about it and it would have suffice until we learned more about what happened at a later date when the investigation had concluded. <cite>ShaneMcComez posted [p:975323693] in Baltimore ...

Miller is a damn legend here as the Giants radio broadcaster, I could not imagine just willingly letting him go Even we Dodger fans respect Jon Miller. We had Vin Scully and know a good broadcaster when we see one. On topic, L.A. had an issue like this way back with Chick Hearn. It was somehow decided that the network should employ the broadcaster, instead of the team employing the broadcaster. The broadcaster can then argue that they are a journalist and not a hype man if there's any disagreement with the team. I had thought that this was the case everywhere. --- Putin delenda est <cite>brestugo posted [p:975324354] in Baltimore ...

I watch a lot of Red Wings hockey, they have been bad for a long time, their home announcers are always honest and cite history, including the bad. Because there's no point hiding it. A bad sports team is bad. The records are what they are. You don't need your announcers to give negative opinion after negative opinion, but just going "hey we were bad here, but we're doing good now" or listing facts is actually good for promoting your current product. --- New England Patriots: Super Bowl XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX, XLIX, LI, LIII Champions <cite>Goldice posted [p:975325316] in Baltimore ...
