Does anyone else dislike watching games on fox?

[Troutipoo27]

They just seem to talk shit on the angels.

They never stay focused on the game at hand.

And they just suck announcing

[Troutipoo27]

Oh and they go and talk to players/coaches in between innings.

[DW711]

its better than buck/mccarver

[jshep]

I just find Eric Brynes obnoxious no matter who or what he's talking about.

National coverage pretty much sucks in general.

National coverage pretty much sucks in general.

 

1. They are always plugging network programming that has nothing to do with baseball or any other sport.

 

2. They feel the need to repeatedly talk about certain teams, even if said teams are not involved in the game they are covering.

 

3. Many are masters of stating the obvious, no longer working for individual teams because fans got tired of them.

 

4. There is always at least one guy who is an ex-player who spent forever with one team, who he mentions every other sentence.

Yup incredibly annoying to hear them drone on about the Yankees for three hours while there's a game being played right in front of them

New drinking game: take a shot every time "alex Rodriguez" or "Derek jeter" is said during a fox broadcast.

You'd be toasted by the 3rd inning

I dislike it when people complain when there's nothing to complain about.

But then again, everyone hates the angels and they'll go out of their way to put them down

[SoWhat]

I really can't stand Thom Brennaman's voice. It annoys me like no other

Two shots every time they talk about the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry.

Maybe you're just used to rose colored Gubi talk, where the Angels can do no wrong.

I don't know what the W/L record of the Angels during national broadcast is, but it feels like the Angels tend to suck hard when they are featured on them. Although I may be wrong, that is what I dislike national broadcast games.

[yk9001]

I have watched the game for 15 minutes. The actually addressed Colon and PEDs.

Have our cheer clowns ever done that?

Guys working for individual teams don't give that as much time as the national guys do. It doesn't really pertain to us, unless one of our players is involved.

Pretty much spot on.

[BaseballMom]

Victor and Jose talked to Eric Byrnes about it on the pregame show yesterday....Or rather they asked and Byrnes answered and answered and answered...

[yk9001]

Colon kicked our ass again last night!

Explain again why the Angels cheerclowns can't discuss it??

[ScottT]

I like Eric Byrnes. 

[m0nkey]

What do they say that qualifies as "talking shit"?  The fact that the angels are 11 games out of first?  That outside of trout, the lineup has underperformed?  That the pitching has been a mess this season?  They're a bunch of meanies

[Troll Daddy]

Free TV is always good ... Time Warner sucks!

Even when the Angels are winning they either completely ignore their performances, or talk about them in a degrading tone.

It's been like this for a decade+ now if you've been paying attention.
