New York Mets broadcaster Gary Cohen strongly criticized the Baltimore Orioles after the suspension of play-by-play announcer Kevin Brown for his comments about the team’s win record. Cohen, along with Keith Hernandez, discussed the controversy during the Mets’ game against the Chicago Cubs on Monday night. Cohen expressed his disappointment in the Orioles, stating that they had “draped” themselves “in utter humiliation” with their treatment of Brown.
Cohen’s remarks were made on SNY, where he directly addressed the Orioles management, stating that if they didn’t want Brown, there are 29 other teams who would gladly have him. He called the Orioles’ decision “horrendous” and questioned their reasoning, adding that they deserved the negative reaction they received. Cohen lamented the fact that the Orioles’ success on the field had been overshadowed by this controversy, which had made them a laughing stock.
This incident is not the first time the Orioles have faced backlash for their treatment of broadcasters. In 1997, Jon Miller was fired by the team due to ownership’s desire for him to show more allegiance to the Orioles. This history only adds to the criticism directed at the organization.
Brown, who has been with the Orioles’ broadcast team for five seasons, was suspended indefinitely for seemingly innocent comments he made about the team’s performance against the Tampa Bay Rays. The suspension was reportedly due to Brown mentioning the Orioles’ recent victories against the Rays and comparing them to previous seasons. Sources claim that his suspension was related to this specific comment. However, Brown was allowed to continue on the radio for the Phillies series until July 26 thanks to an appeal from a fellow announcer.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Orioles for comment but was directed to MASN, the team’s network. As of now, there has been no response from MASN regarding the incident.
A senior Orioles official did not provide any specific comment on Brown’s suspension but mentioned that he would be back with the team in the near future, indicating that the suspension may not be permanent.
In conclusion, Gary Cohen’s strong critique of the Baltimore Orioles and their treatment of Kevin Brown highlights the controversy surrounding his suspension. The Orioles’ decision has diverted attention from their success on the field and has brought negative attention to the organization.
