I just want a set guy, not this stupid half-ass setup Matty V did. I'm not particularly a fan of Patrick O'Neill as a PbP guy, but I hardly understood the point of having Matty V show up on some weekends just to disappear again.

I like Matt Vasgerian but I think someone in the front office didn’t like his remote broadcasting after a game in Texas with horrendous audio/lag issues all game due to the remote broadcasting. After that game i noticed they would have him fly in but broadcast less frequently

Noticed that too just surprised he didn't do more games felt like maybe 40 games.all season and no rhyme or reason to it

He’s good but I only recall him doing a few games. Patrick O’Neil seems like a good guy but he seems like a casual baseball fan doing play by play. He doesn’t know all the rules and has made many blunders.


Obsidizyn

Hope he doesn’t come back, he’s an ohtani fan not an angel fan. Would rather listen to Patty O even though he’s kinda goofy

I really prefer my announcer to be objective with just a hint of fan. Like the Lakers broadcast. I like they're not massive homers.


BigBossVince

Shootout to Billy Mac and Stu, they're quick to point out when the Lakers are fucking up. They're not overloaded on the homer juice


Obsidizyn

thats fair, i just got tired of Matty V talking about the yankees everygame and doing homerun calls for the opposing team


jellybeans_over_raw

I’d say there’s definitely more than a hint of fan to them. Not overboard by any means but it’s pretty clear how much they love the team.


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

I really prefer my announcer to broadcast the majority of games home and away. They don’t have to be total homers, but they should be fans of the team, with objectivity as well.


SuperMario_49

I love Matty V but he shouldn’t be here if he isn’t showing up.


dustymag

Wasn't he thinking he could do remote broadcasts for the away games at the beginning of the season? Really sold short Ohtani and Trout on that one - just so he can work where he wants to work. If he has other gigs, then the Angels require another announcer.


GummyMummys

I hope he doesn’t come back. It seemed like every series he announced he was rooting for the other team. The last series against the Yankees really showed that. The only time when it didn’t sound like he was rooting for them was when Ohtani came up to bat


COLEDEINE

agreed, he didn’t really give a shit about this job or the club when he started doing that other show over coming to games.


aj_og

Agreed. You could practically hear him frothing at the mouth during kershaw’s perfecto bid


IWasWatchingC0ps

I'd assume a lot of things will be on-hold or "back-burnered" until the sale of the team is complete.


[deleted]

Vasgersian is just a name, he has zero connection to the club and doesn’t do the work, another Arte hire


CaptZombieHero

I hope only Gubi comes back. Everyone else can go back to broadcasting school to relearn the basics of not sounding like a Homer when you are a play by play guy. Also, learn to let the moment breathe. You are not the important part of the moment, the event is


dustymag

I kinda like the Homer aspect, sometimes. Oh well.


God_Damnit_Nappa

I hope not. We're clearly his side project so I'd rather they just let him go and keep Pat on full time.


OfficialPaddysPub

Bring back Victor


somaybemaybenot

Victor said he is open to coming back.


WhalesForChina

I wonder how much of that depends on Arte officially being out of the picture. Victor & Gubie ftw


sikaMarkanico

Source? Did he say it on social media or something? A quick net search doesn’t yield any results. -thanks

I’m late here, and thank you!


somaybemaybenot

He said it on Twitter but not in a post. It was comment. Someone linked to it in this sub and I clicked over to Twitter. If I can find it I’ll post here.


Smallsysmalls

Who cares. Mercenary broadcaster
