John Taylor

His ROI goes beyond just pitching and hitting stats. His profile elevates the team's visibility worldwide.

I can just talk on a very small level of metrics for the @AngelsWin Twitter (@Chuckster70 can probably confirm the same for the website) but the amount of followers and interaction on the AW Twitter from people outside the US has exploded exponentially since the Angels signed Ohtani. There are legit die hard Angels fans now in Japan, Brazil, the UK, Europe, and the demographics show that Ohtani is a legit worldwide draw for everything Angels (Including this very website)

If we were the worst organization is sports Ohtani and Trout would have been traded long ago for a bucket of baseballs and cash.

Say what you want about Arte but there are much worse owners in both MLB, and in the other major sports.

Everything's coming up Taylor Ward this year! Nice addition Chuck

Taylor Ward gets TJ surgery confirmed

Don't worry Rendon will show up next spring "in the best shape of his life"

I stand by my prediction that the Angels will win 100 games this year.

So the two at bats with the fastest player on the team have been ground outs including a pretty great defensive play

Heidi Whatley is HOT. So glad she's on this broadcast. Wish she was in the booth instead of the other gal.

Same, she even has better chemistry with Hunter Pence and the other guy I can't remember his name

So I own a good chunk of Apple products, but the product placements are pretty blantant, showing Apple Music for the walk up tunes, the sideline reporter is wearing Airpods Max, next thing you know they'll blur out any non iPhone in the crowd.

Is it just me or does it look like they’re doing something the players.  Like they look highlighted or something 

Oh yeah now I notice it. Detmers looks like he is in front of a green screen

Just now, UndertheHalo said:

I mean she’s not unqualified you just don’t like her. 

Well based on the majority of what I'm seeing, on here, and on twitter, it's not just me

Also I like her, but not in the booth.

Just now, nothing, Nothing said:

the 2 girls who did the nationals vs mets game were way better, much more professional than this katie nolan girl who seems to only be there to crack lame jokes. hoping the next time they do apple+ we can get one of the other girls. 

Yep, I've heard a few women on the call who were very good and called the game instead of being "quirky" like Katie is being

Katie Nolan has been in sports media for quite a while 

And.....yet....

I love how Maddon's nickname for Jose Rojas is "Cookie", a nice nod.

Yay we scored a run!

This brain-dead chick is going to force me to hit the mute button soon. 

She is what happens when you force diversity for diversity's sake instead of having the best people (men or women) for the job.

AppleTV+'s visual presentation is great

Audio presentation sucks including the 3 hacks in the booth

So I remember during Shohei's first start as a pitcher last year against the White Sox he was struggling in the first inning, and I saw a ton of "maybe we should just use him as a hitter" hot takes....

Sooo yeah, I'm not going to judge the season based on the first game. Adell will figure it out, the offense will figure it out, Austin Miller's head will continue to be abnormally large compared to his body.

Hearing Matt and Gubie talk over eachother is why the whole "remote" calling the games is a bad idea.

But hey at least its not Patrick O'Neill

Trout's got the poopies

GO ANGELS!!!

Is Vasgersian in the stadium or is he zooming in from New Joizey?

 

Judging by the fact Matty V and Gubie have talked over each other a couple of times, I'm guessing Matty V is in his jammies in NJ

Make him hit again as a backup DH

Lorenzen has very large arms
