Orioles broadcaster apparently removed for unflattering stats on team

• Team say Kevin Brown will return to air in near future
• Other broadcasters push back on team's decision

The Baltimore Orioles say broadcaster Kevin Brown will be back on the air soon after reports that he had been removed after highlighting the team's poor record in road games against the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Athletic, citing unidentified sources, reported that Brown was taken off the air over his comments on a MASN-TV broadcast on 23 July. He pointed out that the Orioles were already 3-2 at Tampa Bay this year after winning only three games there from 2020-22 (they then won again to improve to 4-2 in 2023.)
