I don't think Clown Hat quite understands baseball ownership.

He’s a piece of crap.

I don't see what the problem is. You guys give Sam Blum a bunch of crap but it seems you just want the reporters to suck Arte's knob.

Tone it down, man. Disagree with his style if you want, but you act like he killed your dog.

Exactly.  God forbid that a reporter wants some accountability.

People sure get big mad over Sam Blum

Yep

Arte hasn't met with the media in almost 3 years now, and we've gotten progressively worse since that's time, not at all weird to call him out for that

I know he hasn’t met with the media in 3 years. Sam Blum has it on his Twitter profile.

It truly seems like some oddly personal thing you have against him.  It's weird.

Ohhhh, then he's clearly an idiot.  Fucking burn him to the ground.  Yeaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!

I dislike his style. Just like I don’t like Simers or Plashke.

Ok.  And? You're like Lou with Brandon Marsh when it comes to Blum. So weird.

Not sure why this thread has turned into some folks expressing their hatred towards Sam Blum.

What he said is right. Arte Moreno should stand up and answer questions, yet he’s hid from the media for three seasons.

It’s his pinned tweet. Why? What purpose does it serve as a beat reporter to have it as his pinned tweet?  

[greginpsca]

Sounds like he is auditioning for the NY Beat.

Why does it bother you that it’s his pinned tweet?

I think it’s silly. He isn’t going to give you the answers you want so then guys like you will be pissed for that.  He doesn’t have to answer questions.  He’s accountable to his fanbase by revenue loss. That’s it.

To let people know Arte is avoiding the press?

He’s from NY, so that’s probably the type of media style he’s used to.

I don’t mind it. It gives a different perspective, which some people I guess don’t like.

Because his goal is to be the news or create news or to improve his brand rather than report the news. He’s the writer for fans that like gotcha media or who like complaining.
