Hardball Times or some such site (I don't recall which one) rated all the MLB teams' TV broadcast teams and the Angels (Vic/Gubi) ranked 9 out of 30. 

That's hard to understand.

Our TV team would be a world better if Langston did the color.

[Waybackman]

Smith.

[eligrba4ever]

Out of curiosity how did Hud and Phys rank, if you know?

[Angels#1Fan]

Well, hang onto your hats!

[RuledByNone]

Not sure he's ready to close but I'd rather see Bedrosian here. Smith is way too hittable.

[Angels#1Fan]

Walked the lead off hitter.

[Jason]

Smith is pitching like an idiot

Remember when he stuck with Frieri too long?  Scioscia is always the last person to get the memo.

[Quinlanforthewin]

Smith belongs nowhere near the backend of a bullpen much less as a closer...14 Ks in 22 innings? 

[AngelsLakersFan]

Deja vu Smith

I only remember the Angels being ninth and the ChiSox road team being 31st. (The guy didn't like Hawk, who I like.) The ChiSox home team (no Hawk) rated 1, I think. Sims/Blowers for Seattle was right about where Vic and Gubi were.

[daygloman]

Ok, double play is in order......................

Throw strikes Smith........

[beatlesrule]

Did anyone in here honestly think it wouldn't be Smith?

[Angels#1Fan]

Alvarez up in the pen already.

Not sure if "not ready" is a good description of his issue

[Angels#1Fan]

One out.

[daygloman]

Ok, 1 out.

[eligrba4ever]

Alvarez warming up just in case. 

Fly to Trout. One out.

[Angels#1Fan]

Two outs!
