Jose Mota-isms: First ones for the 2015 years here.

[DowningRules]

From today's broadcast:

 

"Well, it all started with Kole Calhoun with a good at bat, but with a result of a strikeout.  And that's why it is important to remember that it's on base not just in the result but what you can learn from the first time up..."

 

I had to rewind and pause that about 10 times to decipher.  Good way to start the 2015 campaign.  

[maximus p]

I noticed him saying "huh" a lot the other day.  Anyone else notice that, huh?

[ELEVEN]

I had to laugh when Daron Sutton would go HUH?

More than a few times.

My head just spun around 360 degrees for the first time in 2015.

I love it. Not just that he talks that way, but that somebody sees fit to keep him in a professional speaking job.

The mere definition of professional is something that is above and beyond the ordinary.  This level of communication from Mota is definitely above and beyond how we communicate every day.  In itself that deserves special recognition, and a job.

[Angel Oracle]

It does make it easier because he is a class act.

Would be fun to have just one game where mota and rex share thoughts, and wisdom.

[LightTheHalo]

The other day I heard him describe somebody as an important "clog" in the Angels lineup.

[NorCal Halo]

There was one game last week where he said "We should stop talking and just watch the action."  I wish he would do that every game.

Was he on radio or tv?

It was on television.  I will have to look up the game and get back to you.

No need.  I just thought it might be funny if he said it on a radio broadcast.

Not sure if Jose was doing this last year, but did anyone else catch how he calls Kalhoun " Rojo"?

[Vegas Halo Fan]

I'm guessing that this is true most of the time with these gems.

[ELEVEN]

Kids, do not attempt to decipher Mota while driving.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Did Jose create this thread? Title reeks of his work. I'm sure enjoying this first 2015 year. Can't wait for the next several 2015s.

[CaliAngel]

It would really be great if we could get audio/video of this. Even if it's just recorded on a phone directly from the TV.

 

I don't know what he's saying or how he even strings words together like that.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

The psychiatric term for it is word salad - words strung together in random fashion that convey no meaning whatsoever.

[LAAFANofLA]

No need.  I just thought it might be funny if he said it on a radio broadcast.

 

I've heard him with Terry on AM 830 a few times this spring. I'm sure if he said it during the game, it was heard on the radio.
