Jose Mota leaving the Angels broadcast team

[JoJo26]

Bally's is the worst run sports network.

Gawd awful sound (Angels / Clippers / Kings games) terrible picture quality & Directors (How long do we have to stare at a coaches ass until you can switch the cameras?) 

First we lose the Victor & Gubi show - to be followed by 14 announcers & Gubi last season...and probably worse? NO ALEX CURRY

All good things must end.  Nice long run.  I enjoyed listening to Jose and I learned a great deal from his analysis.

I remember watching his Father play OF for the Pirates pushing for playing time in between Willie Stargell, Matty Alou and of course Roberto Clemente. He was moved because he was too valuable for that role.

I met Jose in person once at an Orioles Game and when I called him over he was gracious.

Probably. 

Dang it. I was hoping you’d call me an idiot or something. I’d hate to see Mota go to the Doyers.

Yeah this is a good point. I like Matt V and Gubie, so I’m not complaining yet—but it is interesting to see how many people have left recently.

It is not a good point.

Couldn't agree more.

That 2012 year... was almost automatic. Trout was going to get on base 3 times a night. And it would be like 2 doubles, some slap to right single, two stolen bases or something. Night after night.

 

You figured hed cool down after two months or something. And never did.

 

Closest in recent memory of that version was that game in NYC 3 years ago or so, where he went 5-5 with like a HR, 3 doubles and an infield hit.

Looking at her skull, she has to be juicing.

With Jose Mota going to the Dodgers, he should prepare himself to be mocked by the fans for his broken Spanish.

I'll work on setting that up! 

From Jose Mota... I got his contact info so I will be setting up an interview real soon. I'll query the AW community for questions too.

What a quality guy. This is huge loss for the Angels.

[ScottT]

Good for him.

Not a huge loss.

Thankfully, he did not get the English pbp job last year.  Oof.  I wasn't a fan of Sutton this time around, but it could've been worse. 

I'm a nice guy, too... allegedly... and English is my first language.  I'd suck as a broadcaster.
