This is a message board where people charge their own opinion.

If you don’t like my opinions, that’s fine.

But you clearly are not capable of reading my opinions without adding all kinds of ridiculous assumptions attached to them.

Oh wait.  Let me add the disclaimer that this post is my opinion and makes no representation that it is undisputed fact.

(Phew, your delicate head exploding averted with disclaimer.)

I am not the one who has been making ridiculous assumptions.  My assumption was that you had not read the article--which was correct.  You were the one who made assumptions about other posters in this thread, as well as the intentions of the writer of the article.

But you can hear it in provo on a clear evening

Yes, I heard that both Provo-based Spanish speaking Angel fans who don’t have TVs or the internet can often hear the games on AM radio a clear evening.

I think I would rather have listened to the Spanish broadcast over Patrick O'Neal. Even while the washer was in the spin cycle with loose change

I didn’t make assumptions about what was in the thread.  I commented on what was literally not present in the thread, and shared my opinion.

You can spin it any way you want, but that’s what happened.

And that’s what people do on message boards.  They make observations and share their opinions.

You just don’t like me, and that is perfectly fine.  I am very willing to be honest in sharing my opinions and “suffer” the consequences that many people will not agree with me.

I wouldn't bat an eye if we found out the English broadcasts have been coming from someone's laundry room as well.

I am not sure many would bat an eye if the games stopped being on the radio altogether.

I would suspect many follow the games by getting notification updates from the mlb app, Twitter, etc.

You're projecting dude.

That’s racist.

This thread reminded me of the international signing day announcements the other day, (where our top signing was rated #50 - which, if my math is correct, is the equal of a late-2nd round pick if there were a draft),  and remembered how when Arte bought the team I thought "Cool - bet all these South/Central American kids will want to sign with and play for the only team owned by a Latino."

I can be so gullible sometimes ...

I'm pretty sure at least one of those four dudes is nonbinary now.

It's not up to me to judge what Republican officials do in their personal lives.

if only mexicans liked baseball or if we didn't have such a small mexican population in LA and the rest of the southern california market. then it would finally be worth it to invest more than  $460 per game into the spanish language broadcast.

One of the new owner’s first moves should be firing John Carpino.

He’s clearly an Arte Moreno yes-man and he has no business being President of an MLB team.

O’Neal sounds like a guy trying to talk over the sound of a washing machine.

[Angel Oracle]

Crapino, working with Morono since 1985.

Enough said, a true stooge

there is absolutely no friggin way that the entire executive staff is not immediately replaced. what owner would pay 4+ billion for a losing franchise, then keep the previous owner's decision makers in place? everybody above perry minasian is immediately replaced. the only question is do they have their own gm on tap or do they give perry an evaluation period?

They maybe a losing team on the field, but l doubt they lose in the wallet...

They are saving a ton of money with their Spanish broadcasting personell.

[Rollinghard]

I didn't read all the post but the team is located in SoCal. That alone is good enough reason to have games broadcasted in Spanish. You don't need a marketing guru to figure this out just common sense. Not having a high quality spanish broadcast is derelict.

Carpino is an asshole who over 20 years never learned his position. It will be good to see that entire upper management team gone.

Carpino has proven to be a stealthy Tony Tavares.  Dude is every bit the asshole Tavares was.

That was my thoughts as I was typing but I figured nobody remembered what a dick Tavares was.
