Kevin Brown, the popular Orioles broadcaster, was suspended indefinitely on Monday for making a factual comment about the team’s lack of success at Tropicana Field. Brown pointed out during the on-air broadcast that the Orioles had won more games at Tampa Bay’s home stadium in 2023 than they had in the previous three years combined.
The comment was backed up by the team’s own game notes, but it apparently upset Orioles ownership, who felt that it made them look cheap. Baltimore ranks 29th in Major League Baseball in payroll, and the team has been struggling to win games in recent years.
Brown’s suspension has been met with widespread criticism from fans and media members. Many people believe that he was unfairly punished for telling the truth, and they have called for the Orioles to reinstate him immediately.
The Orioles have not yet commented on Brown’s suspension, but it is clear that this is a serious matter. The team is facing a lot of pressure to reverse its decision, and it will be interesting to see how they respond in the coming days.
