Victor Rojas Appreciation Thread: Resigns as Angels play by play announcer

[jsnpritchett 2,710]

I'm not surprised, based on some things he's tweeted and posted over the last few months.  I got the impression broadcasting didn't seem as fun for him anymore.  Wonder who'll replace him?

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink 1,384]

No! Damn really gonna miss him. Obviously Mota should replace him for comedic relief. 

[The_Outrunner 81]

Bring back Rex? 

[halomatt 631]

Well that sucks.  He was great.

[Capital_Dave 390]

Well that sucks.  2021 is picking up right where 2020 left off.  More bad news.

I'll really miss Victor Rojas calling games for the Angels.  I valued his ability to make the games entertaining, even when the team wasn't playing well.  And more importantly: I valued that he was blunt and called out the team when it wasn't playing well.  More of that, please, when they recruit a successor.

Thank you to Victor Rojas for 11 memorable years.

I'll miss Victor Rojas "Big Fly!" and "Drive...home..safely!" calls.  Best wishes for the future, family always comes first.

[Jay 4,107]

He must have money, or maybe his wife. Good for him.

 

[wopphil 3,504]

Victor is great at his job. This sucks.

[Stradling 27,136]

Yep, I really like Victor.  I think he has bigger ambitions.  

[tdawg87 32,214]

Damn. Victor was legitimately a great PBP guy and fun to listen to. @VictorRojas you will absolutely be missed and will be as tough to replace as any player on our staff.

Good luck on your next journey!

Love Victor, it's a shame he only got to announce one good season, 2014.

[m0nkey 4,428]

I sure hope Terry Smith slides into the TV PBP role!

[notherhalo 720]

were lucky to have great announcers and he was one of them

Jeff Mathis JIMMY CRACK CORN 3 RUN HOMER was my favorite

Jesus, No...

[failos 3,507]

Nooooooooo

He’s so great....I’m going to miss him

[Inside Pitch 16,877]

Sigh...  how long is Don Orsillo's contract with SD for?

[angelsnationtalk 754]

Will miss Victor a TON. One of the coolest and smartest guys I’ve ever had the chance to talk to. He definitely would have been a great GM at some point. Wish him nothing but the best for he and his family. 

Maybe Terry Smith moves up to play-by-play for TV and Jose Mota moves to radio? 

[Stradling 27,136]

I truly hope Terry Smith does not slide over to the TV side of things.  

[Stradling 27,136]

Just a reminder Rex sucked 

[Angels 1961 288]

Another surprise, good luck Victor in future endeavors. When I'm in my car always think of drive home safely. He will be missed.

[floplag 3,409]

One of the best weve had, he will be missed tremendously and i wish him nothing but luck.

Please no Terry.  His teeth are unwatchable!!!  Those spring training games were hard enough when they went to the booth to show him and Jose.  Please No!

[st1ckboy 6,167]

That's a shame. I was a fan of Rojas as well.
