SEATTLE -- Radio host Roger Lodge was set to make his major league debut doing radio play by play on Saturday. Lodge was scheduled to call the Angels games on Saturday and Sunday in Seattle.
Lodge said he had never done baseball play by play, but he had been practicing at home for two weeks, doing play by play while watching games on television with no sound.
Lodge was moved into the Angels booth because Terry Smith moved from the radio booth to the TV broadcast. Victor Rojas, the Angels normal TV play by play announcer, had the weekend off for vacation.
