Orioles announcer Kevin Brown reportedly suspended 

The Baltimore Orioles suspended TV play-by-play man Kevin Brown several weeks ago for a very silly reason.

Major League Baseball's announcers on Monday night criticized Orioles' ownership for the turn-based decision.

Kevin Brown was reportedly suspended after the pregame segment.

A statement highlighted how poorly the Orioles had played the previous season when they played the Tampa Bay Rays on the road.

The point of the segment was that this year's Baltimore team had reversed that trend.

Apparently, owner John Angelos didn't like the negativity of the broadcast and ordered Brown suspended.

Broadcaster Michael Kay blamed Baltimore Orioles management for suspending Kevin Brown.
