Astros @ Angels, April 8, 2022

You could hear the dugout hollering for the ball

Dusty

Verlander under the weather.

They’re just managing JVs starts carefully.

How and why is Odorizzi the 3rd starter for the Astros

They announced this order even before JV wasn’t feeling well.

Holy crap Katie Nolan is unlistenable.

I really want to know where they are getting these “percentage chance to reach base” numbers from. They are wild

He’s the 5th starter. Verlander is under the weather and otherwise not ready to make his start. Someone has to. Don’t take this as a sign that Odorizzi is suddenly a #2 guy.

This is like listening to a bunch of 13-year old girls

2nd inning and this crew seems completely uninterested in broadcasting this game.

Bingo.

Baseball is really boring, so there’s nothing to do but talk about Hunter’s trip to Australia.

Dammit. They get a pair on two bloops, Astros have made three outs on two bullets.

I hate the greenscreen ad behind the pitcher’s head. Makes my brain think the whole thing is fake or something.

Turn the sound off. Magic.

No way Maldy is going to beat the rap on any sharply hit ground ball.

I still think Pence is surprisingly insightful and easy to listen to. Too bad the play by play guy is forgettable, and the woman is a nuisance.

I’d be listening to the radio broadcast if I could get it.
