It’s a million degrees out here, I march up to your sixth floor walk up so you could sign for your stupid little zyn pouches, and u answer the door in ur underwear. I’m at work, I shouldn’t have to see your weak little bulge, it’s gross and rude and disrespectful. You’re obviously too lazy to go to the store, but I’m sure you can order a robe online and I’ll deliver it to you.
This is for the more frequent consumers of the radio broadcast..I grew up on the Bob Murphy and Gary Cohen booth of the late 90’s in the car with my dad, but have listened to Howie and co. very consistently the last 15 years or so. I drive for work, but often prefer it over tv even at home.
Obviously Keith Raad is Howie’s heir apparent, and I’m glad we have him. Having worked directly alongside Howie for all home games the past few years he’s really grown into someone I love to listen to.
However I’m not particularly thrilled with Pat McCarthy, the guy who does the road games with Keith. I wouldn’t say I don’t like him, he’s got a great voice and his play by play is solid..but he doesn’t have the same grasp of the rhythm of the game that we’re used to with Howie and Keith (and previously Wayne, Josh, Gary, etc). Pat will tell a long-winded anecdote late in a 3-2 game, or start a new discussion when there’s two outs and inevitably be cut off by a ground out.
Nothing against the guy! Pretty sure he’s in his mid-20’s or so, and his dad was Howie’s partner for a couple years (not really knocking the nepotism, it tends to work well in broadcasting lol). I think he has a high ceiling, he’s putting in the work, and is part of one of the top broadcasts in the biz. I hope he still has a job within the organization in some capacity, and maybe fits into the broadcast better in a few years when he’s a little more seasoned..
Essentially I wanna send him back to the minors for a couple years. Let’s bring in a veteran broadcaster from another team who would be a better fit to work alongside Keith and carry on Howie’s legacy. Anyone know when Wayne Randazzo’s contract is up with the Angels 👀
TLDR: Keith Raad is a great pick to replace Howie, but Pat McCarthy is too green..
