Daily News | Phillies’ Tom McCarthy delivers pitch-perfect commentary on the Orioles announcer suspension
But McCarthy also used his platform to deliver a pitch-perfect commentary on the apparently absurd move by Orioles ownership. In the lead-in to a doubleheader Tuesday, NBC Sports Philadelphia posted a graphic of the Phillies’ record against the NL East — and the Nationals, specifically — during their rebuilding seasons compared to the last three years.
That seemingly was all Brown was attempting to do on a July 23 broadcast when he read a graphic that pointed out that the resurgent Orioles have won more games this season at Tampa Bay’s Tropicana Field than in the last three years combined. It was included in the notes that are distributed to the media, but ownership reportedly took issue with Brown’s mentioning it during the broadcast on MASN.
McCarthy, the Phillies’ primary television play-by-play announcer since Harry Kalas’ death in 2009, described Brown as “pretty buttoned-up” and “very prepared.” “My theory is you never want a talk show to break out while doing play-by-play,” McCarthy said. “You tell the story; you describe the events. You can give your opinion, but it’s more for the analyst to do that. And then you let everybody else form their own opinion based on the information and the pictures you give.
