(Scott Taetsch/Getty Images) Awful Announcing shed some light on why Brown had been missing from Orioles broadcasts for nearly two weeks.

It appeared to be for something he said during the broadcast of the Orioles-Rays series. The report pointed to Brown’s scene-setter monologue as the underlying issue.

In the clip, he talked about the Orioles’ lack of success against the Rays in years past. Brown then mentioned this year’s victories against the Rays and said that "the Orioles have won more games against them this season than the last two combined." Brown was suspended indefinitely, seemingly over the comment, Awful Announcing reported, citing multiple sources.
