What did he say?  I still have it muted.

He was gonna ask Trout a question and immediately forgot what it was. Followed by awkward silence.

The most painful minute of television I have witnessed since the second tower came down.

MV then told Trout it was Rajai's broadcast debut and Trout said "He's off to a good start" with total shade at Rajai, it was glorious. Trout with that trash talk haha

Trout did a good job.  He just needs to have someone more awkward than him in the booth.  

[moccasin]

Trout calls Walsh Walshy and Ohtani Shoey.

D-backs set an all-time ML record today by losing their 23rd straight road game.

Keep that in mind if the Angels start getting you down. It could be far worse.

"Hey Trouty, I just remembered... Ohtani... Ohtani... Ohtani, does he like speak english?"

Was gonna ask Trout a question, stumbled over his words as he's done all night, then pauses for a bit before apologizing and saying he lost his train of thought. Matt and Gubi try to pick up the slack. Matt mentions to Trout that Rajai is making his broadcast debut and is CRUSHING IT. Trout just laughed and says "Oh yeah? He's off to a good start"

That a good interview with Trout.  He was so Trout but also pretty cool.  “Its all good.”

[Bronson]

Just shows how hard broadcasting actually is. I know I could never do it. I would be exactly like Rajai.

[failos]

“da fuq u sayin?”

[Docwaukee]

Lol.  

Everyone in the booth watching the game. 

'Did you see that play from Ohtani?'

Apparently, Rajai doesn't have your level of self-awareness, unfortunately.

[eligrba4ever]

Nice effort by Shohei on that bouncer.

Not so nice conking Miggy.

I lose my train of thought multiple times a day normally. I can’t even imagine what I’d be like on a national stage.

It’s alright that Davis screwed up.  All the Japanese viewers couldn’t tell the difference 

[moccasin]

2 pitches, 3 outs.

At least you don't have to worry about that pitch ending his career right there, since Cabrerra's career is already over.
