Here's a photo someone else in my household took last summer. Thought it was apropos for tonight.

Note to Dick:  We know that!

Just so tired of him.  Never.....and I mean NEVER will he even remotely offer even constructive criticism against any player.  Nor, will he ever question a decision by Rocco.

Time for some fresh blood doing play-by-play.

 

I agree with you.  He is never going to lose his job with an inappropriate comment.  He could be in politics.  His only good point, is that he's not a homer in obvious controversial issues.  If you watch his games through a complete series, he revisits the same topics over and over.

What would the Orioles' record be if they played in the Central?

It looks more like the Orioles making us look very inept.

That's just who Bremer is, and he's not going to change. I think if you look at Bremer's strengths - and he has many - and just enjoy those aspects, the experience is more enjoyable.

Hoping that Dick Bremer turns into a snarky, sharp-tongued broadcaster who throws shade and backhanded compliments in the Twins' direction isn't a good use of your time. He is who he is.

In my opinion I'd be careful what you wish for. I've got the MLB package and I've seen a lot of these younger broadcasters who are kind of coming from the YouTube generation, and the schtick gets old real quick.

[PDX Twin]

Baltimore was 13-12 in June; the Twins were 13-14. Adjusting for quality of competition, I suspect the teams are quite comparable.

Wow. what a dressing down on an opinion concerning a sport  broadcaster.  Who's next? A beer vendor with laryngitis?

[MMMordabito]

It's nice to know that Ryan will be a Twin for five more years.

Unless they trade him for Matt Capps in order to fix the bullpen.

[stringer bell]

Lots of "cans of corn" for both sides.

[Mill1634]

This offensive production tonight is genuinely embarrassing. Not like we're crushing the ball either. 

 

xBA of just .200

[Aggies7]

How bad is it to be shut down by a guy with a career whip of 1.6?

[Mill1634]

Also, Baltimore had the second lowest ERA in the MLB in June. This is going to be a battle

Actually I agree with the poster that said Bremer is annoying, because he is. I tolerate it but no amount of lobbying will change my mind.

3 of which spent on the IL.

[MMMordabito]

Ryan definitely got some help that inning ........... But, I'll take it.

[bighat]

This is why it's such a killer to give away 3 winnable games in Cleveland.

Because games like this - where you get straight up outplayed by a bad team - are still going to happen.

[Winston Smith]

Team looks like they have a hangover from giving those games away in Clev. On a little downer.

I thought this lineup was pretty good too.

 

how wrong that opinion was.

[MMMordabito]

Offense is just pathetic tonight.

[notoriousgod71]

Why Rocco? Ryan wasn't even at 90 pitches.

I don't think I was too harsh, I was just saying "enjoy Dick Bremer for who he is, not who he isn't".

[Danchat]

I would have liked to see Ryan start the 8th, but even if the bullpen does lose this one, it's going to be on the hitters for letting the Orioles go 6+ perfect innings on them.
