Victor Rojas: How do you like his play-by-play broadcasts?

[Chuck]

I think he's the best in the game at this time, but I'd like to see what you all think. 

[CanadianHalo]

My favorite. 

I have MLB.TV and watch a lot of baseball and hear a lot of different play by play guys, imo we are so lucky to have Victor. 

I also like Buck Martinez (Jays play by play).

[GrittyVeterans]

He's average. Nothing to be pissed about, but not amazing. IMO he comes off a bit arrogant at times. I gave him a B-

Gubicza on the other hand is a complete disaster. Just a constant pollyanna and says the same stuff over and over again

I hear this a lot from Angels fans that I talk to.

Victor is the best!! I love his pbp and Langston's commentary. Wish they were together.

[Ochocinco!]

He's amazing true delight to listen to. Gubi is fucking terrible and honestly a drag to listen to

[Chuck]

Figures @Troll Daddy with a C grade.

Everyone has the right to their own preference. I cannot stand Victor as an announcer. I have MLBTV too and I'd rank him near the bottom third. (White Sox the worst!) 

Langston is actually one of my favorites.

Langston is not a PBP announcer, he's a commentator. I like him too. 

While you have a right to your opinion, I believe your opinion is 100% wrong.

I have never met Victor in real life but his broadcasting comes across as honest. He is technically sound, clever when he has to be and/or wants to be, and provides clear, concise game action without overdoing it (or underdoing it for that matter).

Pleasant to watch and listen to. Glad he is on-board and hope he is here for a long time to come.

It was fortunate that Victor was available, after Rory's untimely passing.

If I live to be 100 my death will be untimely, as far as I'm concerned.

Does he still say "oppo taco"?

No.  I think he figured out it wasn't aging well.

 

I like Victor.  I'd like to see what he does with a competent color man.

[katrinab]

i actually like him and Gubi together. i know its not the popular opinion but i think they have great chemistry together

I was being nice ... I thought. Why bother having a poll?

Victor is terrific.  Doesn't sugar coat.  You can tell he just likes being part of baseball and that he's having fun.  

[Adam]

Big Fan! 

[KevinJ14]

I'm a fan. Good person too. Other guys I like to hear in the booth is Chris Archer and Tom Verducci

He'll call out a player or coach when they blow it and that's refreshing.

I was just going to say the exact same thing!

[Junkballer]

B+.  Great play-by-play and fills in the gaps as color because Gubi is so pitching-centric.

Huge fan of Vic's best PBP guy we have had in a long long time.  My buddy in Boston, hard core Red Sox prick first started watching Angels games cause of Trout, but he's always telling me he finds himself tuning in a lot of times because he's grown to like Victor so much, even more so after they cut loose Don Orsillo (who is great and does Padres games now).

[Blarg]

There was a guy that took over from the minor leagues one game for a few innings that was just head and shoulders better than most play by play guys because he stayed with the game, with the count, had more interest in what was happening on the field and relayed that to the fans rather than prattle on about what barbeque joint he eats at.

Terry Smith oft times seems to forget he isn't doing a pre or post game show and ignores pitches thrown to gab with Langston. Gubicza just can't stop talking so Rojas often sounding awkward trying to divert attention back to the game.

All of these guys could be replaced by that minor league announcer going solo like Scully, sure wish I remembered his name.

You're not fooling us.  You like him because he's Cuban.
