[Lou]

At least he's making fun of himself.

Here is a podcast I recommend you listen to instead of this pathetic delayed broadcast:

Another absolutely terrible strike call

[Jason]

Rendon still being terrible 

[Swordsman78]

They need to rethink this virtual announcer thing.  #notworking  #why

And more bs with the call. Shameful and unprofessional.

Completely agree.  With the amount of $ Bally's paid and this is the product they produce.

This is a joke.  How much longer are they going to do this.  I don't see them continuing this.  Something has to change.

I mean if was left center at most

I don't think he has a choice at this point.

He was going off of Walsh's response.  Seemed as though he just brushed it off.  That's all he has to go off of.  I doubt he's seeing multiple screens of the game.

MattyV is not seeing it live. He's at the mercy of whoever is relaying basic information into his ear.

It’s either make fun of yourself or rant at your employer on air for the second rate product they are forcing him to work with.

[failos]

The Dodgers number is shameful. This is disgusting, I don’t even care if it’s Jackie Robinson.

Walsh baby! Remember the days when teams could walk Trout and not worry about the next guy hurting them? Those days are long gone. 

i remember walking Ohtani without Trout as backup

[Swordsman78]

Not even the Arson squad could blow this lead now.

[HeavenlyHalos]

This has been such a strange game. What is nice is that I feel confident in the back end of the pen for the first time in a long time.

[bloodbrother]

Wow, another inning for Loup?

[AngelsLakersFan]

Lot of Loup tonight

Everyone chooses the "safe" route.  But as a professional broadcaster I hope Matty V/Gubiza tells the brass how unacceptable this is.  I really hope they just go with live broadcasts on the road.  It's not sustainable.  Their listenership will be dead by All star Game

About time Maddum used him

[drpiranha]

Last manager to intentionally walk a hitter with the bases loaded when losing was the Buffalo Bisons in 1891.

Maddon also intentionally walked Josh Hamilton with the bases loaded when he was managing Tampa Bay.

[Erstad Grit]

Loup

 

[eligrba4ever]

 They just ran a graphic that listed all the hitters who have been intentionally walked with the bases loaded. The list started with Nap Lajoie and rolled on through the 20th century to the present. A rare event but not unheard of.
