Good start so far...
Jeremy;’s worst innings are usually the first 2, right? This is very encouraging.
And 3 Drinks Gary in full effect: “Placido Palanco, who has never sung opera to the best of our knowledge…”

His
pitch calling, ability to block pitches, framing, lack of target, lack of hustle running after passed balls/wild pitches…all of the them, are about Single A level.

Maybin
From Wiki:
Maybin was taken 10th overall by the Tigers in 2005. Tigers traded Maybin last off-season, Andrew Miller, Mike Rabelo, Dallas Trahern, Eulogio De La Cruz, and Burke Badenhop to the Florida Marlins for Dontrelle Willis and Miguel Cabrera.
He’s hitting like 270 at AA but has 92 K’s on the year. He’s about 6’3”-6’4” 200-215 lbs. R/R.

I went on Wikipedia
to see if they had how many years Brooks did the games, but this was the only information:
Following his retirement as a player, Robinson began a successful career as a color commentator for the Orioles’ television broadcasts. In 1982, local television WMAR’s on air newsteam in Baltimore, Maryland went on strike and picketed the WMAR headquarters for the two months approaching the baseball season. When Robinson refused to cross the picket line, WMAR management re-opened the negotiations and the strike ended the next day.
Very cool, Brooksie.

Here's a part of it
"I live and die with this team. I live and die with the people that are watching this game every day. I give everybody in this room respect. The hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life is having to come in here every day and look in that camera right there with all these lights on. When the game is over, I get it shoved right in my face and I answer every question. I don’t back down from anybody. And in return, I want to be treated with respect. It ain’t funny when we get beat for people who think that this is intramurals, because it’s not intramurals. My heart bled last night for Millar. I love him. I love him. If it’s a guy like Leyland, or a guy like LaRussa or a guy like Torre, would there be people outside their office laughing and joking around? I dare say, the language they’d use wouldn’t be like I’m talking.”
Seriously, go read the piece. Roch just let the recorder run and typed it up verbatim. Multiple paragraphs here.

Great Johnny Oates quote
“Get this fuck out of here!”
-Aimed at Glenn Davis, who was complaining about lack of playing time

Here's the best
Danny Tartabull, then with KC, hit .523 (23 for 44!) with five home runs in 1991 against the O’s. Before one home series vs. the Royals that year, Oates said the following about Danny:
“I’m going to find out what his room number is and call the hotel and say, ‘Cancel my wakeup call’. Then I’m going to call the cab companies and tell them not to have any taxis in front of the hotel; we’ll make him walk to the ball park. Then I’ll tell security not to let him in without and ID. Then I’ll tell Freddy (Tyler, the clubhouse man) to burn his uniform, and if he still makes it, I’ll walk him.”

Aubrey Huff says about Kevin Millar
He’s one of the fattest guys in the league but he can play some first base.
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
