It was a brutal debut from him as a broadcaster, lots of umms and ahhs, repeating words over and over as he tried to find the next one, with very little of interest or insight when he did talk. Gubi can be an annoying cheerleader sometimes but his pitching chat is excellent and is well worth the listen, this guy had none of that. He began by simply being bad, well terrible really, like a fan caught in the spotlight, which quickly progressed to being irritating, I even muted for an inning, but by the time I tuned out after the sixth inning I was starting to feel  a little sorry for him. I really hope he finds some other career because broadcasting isn't it.

So he was in the booth the whole game?

Yes they do.  In fact Hinch did it tonight with the Matt Manning.  He pulled him too soon, and his bullpen failed.

Shhh don’t ruin my narrative

I think so, I went to bed after the sixth. I think he was there to give the Detroit angle as he played for them briefly. Honestly, it's worth watching a replay of the first few innings just to see how much of a car crash he was. The Trout interview was legendarily bad - after the first inning I think. It was early anyway. Check it out if you feel like a little schadenfreude.

Davis made Mota sound like Demosthenes.

Worst broadcaster I've ever heard.

I'd pay twice that to watch a video of Davis having his vocal cords removed.

This looks like one of those gifts you buy for people you are obligated to buy for but don't actually like.

Would Ward have been in the game to hit the grand slam?

If he wanted to move the pitcher the farthest away in the order he’d have taken out Lagares. Then they’d have had Ward in CF and Ohtani in RF in the 7th and Ward-Wong in the 8th and 9th.

Who else does cameos? $30 is a great deal to troll someone.

Or you could donate the money to a food bank.

40,000 fans!

I re-watched the game with the Angels radio Terry Smith instead of the stutterer and they said attendace 30,800. They also said it looked like a sellout.
