Can we hold you to that?

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

Wait... you're still talking about him?

He has to keep to his script.

Fletcher also does his job without the drama. 

That’s good for him but it’s not a requirement that our media makes sure to never ask a question that might hurt someone’s feelings, especially when it’s one pretty much everyone else around the league can answer without issue.

Nor is it their job to tweet non news.

We've been over this a billion times. Different people appreciate different types of reporters/journalists. Multiple types can exist. It's ok.

Let's talk about the game.

Okay, talking about the game, we're going to shock the world and win 7 of the next 10.

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

He's long since been a sunk cost already so really there's no reason to keep his tired act around regardless of how much he's still owed. Rarely on the field and stinks out loud whenever he is.

Sure. That’s literally what I’d prefer.  Sam on the other hand….

Again, how we feel about him is irrelevant.  If his teammates like him then he will be on the team.

Go Halos!

People can tweet whatever they want on a personal Twitter account.  If Rendon doesn’t like what Sam has to say about him or want to be painted in a negative light he shouldn’t talk to him.  Everyone is asked for updates on their injuries, no one but Rendon himself decides that he has to be an asshole about it

Oh yeah I fully expect him on the team next year. Don't see this ending without him either retiring early or it's yr6/7 of his deal and the Angels finally decide to DFA like they did Pujols during his last yr

Blum tweets this because he’s a petty little dude. 

[Angelsjunky]

Somebody needs to lock Rendon in a room for 72 hours and make him watch every inspiration sports movie ever made.

Yes so Sam can tweet, “Rendon said, Go Team!” When asked about his injury.

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. 

It’s not irrelevant….Rendon’s attitude or any athlete’s attitude is relevant….which is why I said quoting him once was ok….it’s now become a “thing” and Blum needs to recognize that Rendon is playing him, for whatever reason….move on…

[Palomar]

Who's Sam Blum?

Of course it’s irrelevant. It has zero to do with his health.

Just my opinion, but I think you have a lot in common with Sam Blum….I find both of you interesting, up to a point, but being the Angel beat writer smart ass or the board smart ass gets a little old with me at times…

[jsnpritchett]

Lol.  Sigh...
