Dennis Eckersley offered a funny but true comment about the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night.

Eckersley is a studio analyst for NESN, which is the TV home of the Boston Red Sox. He is friends with Orioles broadcaster Jim Palmer, and made a comment recognizing what a tough job Palmer has.

Dennis Eckersley on the NESN broadcast: “You know what would be a tough job? To be an announcer for the Baltimore Orioles.”

He’s not wrong pointing out how tough it must be announcing for the Orioles.

Not only did Baltimore get trounced 13-2 by the Red Sox on Friday night, but they have finished last in the AL East the past three seasons. Their 47-115 record in 2018 was the worst in MLB, and their 54-108 record last season was the second-worst in MLB. It’s not easy to maintain enthusiasm about a team losing that much.
