Roger Lodge must get goo...

I'm lost.  I guess it's the family theme that Arte digs.

 

[ScottT]

So what. Who cares.

It’s what @tdawg87 does to you the first time he meets you.

So the Angels sign Maddon and the first thing they do is throw him on Roger Lodge’s show? WTF?

FYI Lodge does the pre game show and a big part of Angel baseball ️ that’s why

When you grow up and move out of Moms house, you’ll understand.

Or he understands it’s simply an interview and only blowhards give a shit about him overhyping a lousy player. 

[T.G.]

No issues with Maddon's interview. Lodge on the other hand....

Funny, you calling someone a Blowhard! Take a poll around here not including your holier than thou brethren and you might find that label assigned to you! 

Probably.  You’re adorable getting pissed at interviews.  It’s funny you think they mean something.

Blind Date was a great show . . .

I see someone's been hitting the sauce again.

Lodge: “Hey enough of me talking about John Stamos great hair, let’s talk about you now.  What do YOU think of Stamos great hair?”

It makes sense.  Hitters like soft toss before they hit live.  This was Maddon's warmup before facing the real media.

Gonna be a long year if we couldn't make it 24 hours.

Nobody liked this post?  Nobody?  My wife gets annoyed when I think I am funny.  I apologize but I think this is funny.

The proper form for bringing this up is..

Resharing the post.  and then posting "Nothing?"  Followed by... "Screw you guys."

Right, @Lou?

and to answer your question... it would be funny, if it wasn't so true to life.

To be honest, I didn't see it. Finally, someone with a good sense of humor.

Your wife should post here.

Some of you don’t buy this ... why @Jeff Fletcher

I believe Roger Lodge is a big time Angels fan.  I have never doubted that.  He just wears on you the more you listen to him. He has way too many cliches and never seems to be truly on top of what's happening with the Angels.  He's usually late to the party in that regard.  Mostly - he loves to name drop and is somewhat of a self promoter.  He's a good guy and all, but as a broadcaster/sports talk host - he's just not on the level of someone like the late Joe McDonnell.  He's a little too much schtick and not enough substance for me.  I only listen to him on very rare occasions.  I'd much rather listen to mlbnetwork radio - even if they're not talking about the Angels.

At the end of the day - I don't hate the guy or anything - he's just not necessarily my cup of tea.  I'd like to see someone else in that role, but there isn't anyone on the local scene that fits in my opinion.

He plays to the more causal fan, the way Hudler did. I don't hate him, I just usually listen to Petros and Money.

Lodge sort of carries over his "Blind Date" mode of running a show to 830am.   It's more of a whimsical approach.   

Joe McDonnell was rock solid.   Yeah, his criticisms rubbed some the wrong way, but he was honest in those criticisms and very knowledgeable.   And yeah, his love of rasslin also played a little bit into my listening to him.  

Jim Healy was definitely one in a million.    They could replay his shows from 25-40 years ago, and still get listeners.   Like this classic from the 1977 WS.

Honestly, Lodge, annoying as he is, is better than that dipshit, Trent Rush. Dude is ridiculously anti-analytics and takes every opportunity to talk up old school baseball. 

Lodge’s problem is he says very little of substance. It’s mostly just ‘rah rah Angels’. Rush just has bad opinions and makes the listener dumber for listening to him than Lodge does.

Whatever rah rah shit that Lodge is espousing, he repeats it approximately every 40 seconds.  AM 830 is a minor league operation.
