Gameday Thread: Royals at Angels - Shohei Ohtani on the mound (3-21-2022)

[jsnpritchett]

I know it's only the first inning and that I'm pretty much always a hard critic on announcers--but I really don't think Hocking has a very good voice for a commentator.

Not only that, but he's mostly a Twin.

TV: O'Neal and Gubizca.

Spanish: Tolentino, who apparently walks alone.

Thanks for this. Boring.

[Swiss Angel Fan]

Hopefully Vasgersian gets more games that last year. Not a fan of O'Neill so far

Sounds like a 17 year old kid..

Ohtani looking good 

[IheartLA]

Hocking has a high pitched voice but at least he isn't bringing up albert's career numbers or screaming "the maccchiinnnee"

I don't know who the announcers are but I wish they would offer something to the game other than the obvious.

Patrick O'Neal is play-by-play and Denny Hocking is doing color.

I'd rather them make up stats about a guy who never actually played.

Gubi, did you know back in 1937 Debrikashaw Klinesaucer was the first scandanavian born player to strike out 16 batters while warming up in the bull pen? Ya, me neither. 

[IheartLA]

Marsh looked like he got a late jump and then over dove the ball

[Bronson]

Who’s gonna preform better this year, Adell or Marsh?

[Angelsfan1984]

Adell is going to kill it.....

 

 

 

In AAA

Embarrassing facts and speculations about opposing players…

“Did you know, allegedly, Whit Merrifield wet the bed until age 15.”

“Did you know, allegedly, Zack Greinke says the full N-word when he sings along to rap songs.”

I'm 40 and I still do both.

Baseball awareness still thawing out. MLB Network is in the home third. MLB.TV stream is in the KC fourth.

Well, we got a Romine at catcher. Is that a thing this season?

[jsnpritchett]

Ok, I've muted the broadcast now.

Does anyone else sense a bit of animosity between these two??? Discretely taking shots at each other it seems like.
