The Angels are "one of just two MLB teams that do their away game radio broadcasts remotely," according to Sarah Valenzuela of the L.A. TIMES. Team play-by-play announcer Terry Smith and color commentator Mark Langston -- who have worked together since the 2012 season -- "call road games from Anaheim by watching the Bally Sports West video feeds." Before this season, owner Arte Moreno told reporters at spring training that Smith and Langston, who work for the team-owned radio station, KLAA-AM, "would continue to call road games from Anaheim, because the 'economics' don’t change the experience." They have "called games remotely even when the Angels played in Petco Park in San Diego and at Dodger Stadium last month." Valenzuela wrote what makes the decision by the Angels and the Blue Jays "even more curious" is the fact that both teams "feature some of the most exciting players in the game" -- the Angels with P/DH Shohei Ohtani and CF Mike Trout and the Blue Jays with 1B Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and SS Bo Bichette. Also, both teams are "chasing playoff spots" (L.A. TIMES, 8/20).
