lol, who the hell is Sam Blum? I assume a local guy that’s not Jeff Fletcher?

Angels' beat reporter for The Athletic. Younger dude who allegedly commits Twitter microaggressions against the 50+ crowd.

Not liking something and expressing that online = crying

Hate? Nope. I respect his journalistic hustle but I don’t agree with the style in which he does that or the way he stirs shit up for clicks. 

I find him pretentious and mildly annoying, but he's still miles ahead of Dylan Hernandez - who for some reason feels the need to write about the Angels constantly. That guy is the worst.

In Dylan's defense, he's just never been the same ever since Angels fans started using that picture of his cousins in the bathtub to make fun of Dodger fans.

I can understand the annoyance.  We all know with a name like Sam Blum he’s never played a game of baseball in his life.

The fact he works for the Atlantic provides some insight to his private life as well.

Sam Blum is an anagram for Bum Slam. 

[ScottT]

Is he fun at parties?

I’m a long time Athletic subscriber but the only place I’ve ever come across a Sam Blum tweet is here

Don’t understand why people hate him so much, I was not a fan of him when he first took over as Ardaya’s replacement, found his tweeting style in particular to just be annoying, but it doesn’t annoy me anymore and I appreciate that he’s willing to shed light on issues in the organization that other people aren’t.  And again to anyone who is bothered by that, don’t you want the Angels to be a first class organization that other teams look to replicate?  Putting pressure on the organization to make changes is the only thing anyone can really do.

I wasn't a fan of him taking over, but he is different from the rest of the beat reporters. He will put the pressure on people and ask the questions no one wants to ask. Especially calling out Arte Moreno. 

I feel like he says what most of us complain about on here, just when someone says it publicly I guess people suddenly get rubbed the wrong way.

If I had to guess I’d guess he’s a guy that spent a few minutes looking at pictures similar to this of himself, then lifted his chin up slightly, took one more picture, changed it to black and white, thought to himself, “that’s right, no one will call you a twat now”. He’s part of @Lou’s 92%.

People usually hate other people that are similar to themselves

I can almost guarantee that guys like myself or Chuck that don’t care for Blum’s style the deciding factor isn’t similarity.

This is utterly ridiculous.

First weekend of the season and this is a topic? Some twat on Twitter?

See what happens when we don't have Mota for a good laugh to start the season?
