I disagree, I liked him. Kind of like Hudler who I know you hate and I loved. So I get it. 

Hope all is good and you've had a nice holiday season Jason. I'm finally getting settled in Tennessee.

Only problem is Hudler wasn't PBP. he's a color guy like Gubi. 
Might be strange, but i'd maybe give Trent Rush a shot.

Hopefully he'll grow into it.  Long on personality, short on baseball knowledge.

I didn't think he had the manic energy of Hud.  I just thought he didn't sound very knowledgeable and he sometimes came off as really awkward.

Glad you're settling in.  Holiday season was rocky on my end.  Was exposed to covid right before I was supposed to fly home to GA for the first time in three years, so I had to cancel.  I then tested positive Christmas day and was laid up dealing with it for several days after that.  I'm totally fine now, thankfully.

I'll be honest, I only caught 2-3 of the games he called so there's a small sample size that I'm going off of. Toward the end when I only tuned in for Ohtani at-bats I barely watched an entire game.

The holiday season for us was crazy. Had a nice Christmas gathering and then a going away party that was fun. Then it was all packing, all day every day, then loading up the truck. We arrived last Wednesday and I got the latest variant of Covid. Just got over it. Was like a seasonal cold, but oddly I got the freezing cold skin & lost my taste for a couple days like I did after I got my first vax shot last March which lasted two weeks.

Doing play by play seemed like he was out of his element last season. I like him and the sideline reporting he does for the Kings, but I'm not sure he's got the chops to do quality play by play. Willing to give him a chance. Hopefully we see a lot more of Vagersian this season.

The real story is 16 years of Gubi.

That guy hasn’t had anything new or interesting to say for 15 years.

Just imagine all the page clicks Jeff Fletcher is going to get now. Good for him.

I can understand why this would be true for the past few years. It has been an eerily similar story for this team since their last pathetic playoff experience.

You really excell at having the worst takes on Angelswin.

At least no Mota.  Anything is better than Mota.

Mota is good for halo Spanish speaking fans.

What if he's behind the constant shuffling of the PBP guys?

One step better than Roger Lodge, I suppose.
