Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Yankees (4/28/2018) NO Ohtani

[JustATroutFan]

Angels still making Tanaka look like the ace that he used to be.

Offense has been mostly dead for quite some time.

[Jason]

Kinsler has been dog shit too

[IheartLA]

tanaka could honestly no hit this lineup...

trout and marte are the only hitters that aren't playing like shit..

AJ honestly is a fine announcer, sounds calm, easily understandable. Commentary is relatable to both common and hardcore fans.

Yep, but some people are easily bothered and emotionally highjacked by an announcer saying bad things that are true about the Angels.  He tried to be funny saying it was an improvement giving up 6 runs in an inning versus his last time against the Yankees, but some Nancy’s have to be hurt by him.

Cozart and Upton were among top underperformers in CBS fantasy leagues last week. They'll repeat this week.

he's been good - soft voice, personable. Gubi's voice is too hoarse and homerish for me.

He’s fucking terrible.  And I have no historical axe to grind.  He’s stumbling all over himself. His funny quips aren’t funny. He isn’t bringing much insight either.  He’s extremely uncomfortable in his delivery.

Not hurt, just annoyed. I think they could’ve thrown a rock and found a more qualified color guy, just my opinion. This game as a whole is just a disaster.

Epic failure tonight of historic franchise proportions??

Never since the franchise start in 1961 ...;  yadayadayada.

I could have gone another century without such history. 

Need that rainbow star NBC uses for "thought you should know." LOL.

This is sort of rich man.  You get upset when fans on here are overzealous with their criticism.  We have announcers on national tv making fun of the team.  Mocking the manager and pitcher and a couple of us pointing out that it’s lame as fuck makes us “Nancy’s”.  Come on man.  Weak.  I can only speak for myself.  I’m not upset.  But it was pretty annoying.  Anyway. Over it.

since this game is out of hand, just curious who everyone's favorite angels announcers were?

I wasnt around for enberg so i'd say:

tv - ken and ken

radio - al conin (loved listening to this guy call games)

Rory Markas 

and I grew up on Hud and Phys, so I loved them. I understand why people didn't though. I feel if I were older when I heard them call games I wouldn't have liked them

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

I like Starr and Fairley. 

Enberg was great too. 

Torre and Reggie were solid on TV too. 

[Ohtaniland]

[IheartLA]

the hitters chase everything!

[Ohtaniland]

Upton you _ _ _ _ !

[IheartLA]

Right down the middle

[daygloman]

GAD....................

[Ohtaniland]

I’m a Hof’r lol

[eligrba4ever]

FS1 doesn't use the strike zone box. Such a box might have shown that strike to be low.

But it's 10-0, just get it over with.

[UndertheHalo]

Whatever there’s nothing else on tv on Saturday night

fuck me i got my happy ending massage and was trying to time it to make it by start time. didn't make it back but no biggie only 2nd inning, then 8-0. wtf

I wouldn't share too much.  I think Ten Ocho is on Vice.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

The comeback is on. 

[Ohtaniland]

Cozart homers and the Yankees fans will throw it back.
