Angels minor leaguers blast Arte Moreno for terrible living conditions

[tdawg87]

Very sad.

Maybe if Lovegrove didn't suck ass for 9 years he'd have made it to the majors and been treated better. 

F'n South African

Arte and the Angels have been awesome at hiding how shitty they are about things lol.  I mean I use to think “at least we’re not the Mets” uhhh we’re very much the Wilbon Mets.  And in some ways even more pathetic.  Very sad.  
 

anyway.  My brain requires that I continue to love the team.  So it is what it is.  Very sad.

When does Arte announce he's going to space?

 

Arte doesn’t give a shit about space.

I kind of hope something drastic happens from this, like some key 2021 draftees opt not to sign with the Angels. It would suck, but it might be necessary for change to happen.

[Stradling]

Obviously there should be better  accommodations.

Put me in jail too.  I must be guilty of not providing a suitable living condition for my teenage kids because they go to Taco Bell.

I don’t think anything is going to happen.

Something tells me you're smart enough to realize that grocery stores sell nutritional food, too.

Lovegrove signed as a draft pick for $400,000..

Awesome.

Reminds me of this article https://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-mh-how-the-la-angels-20150209-column.html

[Dtwncbad]

The articles seems like a lot of whining.  Six people in a three bedroom sleeping on twin mattresses sounds a whole lot like, uh college?

I had so many roommates in college at one point that my rent was $85 a month (1988).  Three people per bedroom.

I once worked seven days a week as an intern for free and then negotiated $900 a month.  I waited tables and cleaned doctor’s offices at night to get by.

No complaints.  It’s life.

Big surprise, another article about the Angels' organizational disarray. 

 

[eligrba]

From the article:

Lovegrove worked as a Lyft and Uber driver and as a warehouse worker for UPS and Best Buy in the offseason to supplement his minor league income and maintain his career pursuit in baseball.

 

How insulting…….to be in a similar position as many teachers needing a second job to make ends meet.

Nothing will change. Instead we'll sign another hitter for $200m

[Revad]

Is it possible our owner is a dick?

[tdawg87]

Just because people have it worse doesn't mean these guys don't have a right to be upset.

[Dtwncbad]

The Angels are being asked if Brandon Marsh looks the way he does because maybe Arte forced him to live on a deserted island by himself?

I paid 60.00 month for rent living in a house with no heat other than a wood stove in Missoula Mt when in college. Life is what you make of it….I never thought I was living in squalor or my mental health was in danger.

[Revad]

I mean I may be an asshole and an idiot but I try not to be a dick.

Post of the year candidate.

Nice work.

They have every right to be upset if they don’t like their lives.  Go do something else.

Then figure out that getting started in life doing something else isn’t free either.

Sometimes people don’t need to try…they just are.
