Sam needs to let it go….

Or Rendon could just say "I'm out for the season with my injury" and not have to deal with the question anymore.

His general assholery seems to be more of the problem.

What does Rendon being a fucking child have to do with Sam Blum reporting him acting like fucking baby? 

[UndertheHalo]

Whatever else the Angels do, they’ve gotta get rid of this guy. 

[UndertheHalo]

If giving him almost 40 million dollars a year to behave like a professional isn’t good enough nothing ever will be.  This is a personality defect. A serious one.

I read Blum and I like his work….I’m just over Rendon’s act, whatever the purpose of it is….I think Blum can write about other things at this point…

"Writing" about it.  Ha.  It's a 22-word tweet.

Say what you want about the way Sam goes about things but at the end of the day he’s just doing his job.  I think it’s more telling that Rendon can’t even give an injury update without coming off like an asshole.  It’s not hard to say “there’s no update” or simply decline to comment

Yeah, just created one.  Was just in this thread, so posted it here first.

LOL, that's just more eyes and ears to view the crap on the field. I wouldn't put those two through this kind of torture. That's an insult to two great Angels. No 'advice' they could give will help. The whole thing needs to be blown up.

[fan_since79]

Nothing more can be said about Rendon. At some point when it's not too expensive, cut him loose.

That’s 22 words too many about Anthony Rendon….Blum is a good writer but I’d rather read some new things about the Angels right now….Rendon being a smart ass is old news….

Fletcher also does his job without the drama.

I don't even care how much it costs. He is a wasted roster spot. He needs to be gone.

Well if it weren’t for Blum you’d have no idea this happened. 

[Angelsfan1984]

If Blum had some stones he would have asked him the question in Spanish

Once was ok….not every time he’s in the clubhouse…

$38 million/yr for three more years. That's good money for being a smartass who doesn't play.

He can go be a smartass who doesn't play for some other team.

Again Fletcher sees all this but never reports it because it’s irrelevant.  It means nothing. Sam obviously doesn’t like Rendon and Rendon doesn’t like Sam.  One gets to write about it daily 140 characters at a time. 

[Stradling]

If his teammates want him gone then release him.
