It was Roger Lodge, Strad, and T.G.

It’s a Sam Blum survey, you think I’m giving that guy 8 minutes of my life to take a survey?

I think that the "can Rendon stay healthy" question needs one of those pie charts that says "No" and "also no, but in a different color."

The guy got the results he was hoping for to kick off his 2024 shit on the Angels crusade.

His in depth articles are fantastic. He just isn't a beat writer.

He just posed questions, it's the respondents that created the data. Whether it fits Blum's narrative is more of an indication he isn't off base with other articles critical of the Angels. This franchise is really poorly run.

It’s indicative of those that follow him.

I don't follow him but agree with the results of the survey.

[T.G.]

I don't need a survey to tell me the Angels suck and Arte should sell.

If you disagree with the survey outcome it could be just your POV. But from the majority of the threads and responses on Angelswin over the last couple seasons, this poll seems to reflect the members opinions here more than not.

If Sam Blum can wait 16 minutes in the drive thru for his INO once a week, you can spend half that time on his survey.

Do you think he made up the results? I swear, you guys' hard-on for Sam Blum is kind of funny.

If we recreated the same questions on this site, the results would be very similar.

Looks like you have some homework to do, @Taylor.

I'm liking Sam Blum more and more. But I stay the fuck away from Twitter. 

I agree with the results. I mean, come on. Do you think it would be drastically different if Fletcher did the same poll?

I don't disagree with the results at all...but the results of that poll seems to jive with his MO on Twitter/X so he's happy with the outcome as I stated.

It's hard to have a hard on for someone that you never pay attention to. I don't follow Sam Blum because we get everything we need from Fletcher here, plus I'm following 3-4 other reporters that provide Angels related news on X already. The only time I see his content is when it's posted here or when it's RT'd by followers on X. 

I don't need negative folks in my life, but I know your type feeds off their vitriol and hyperbole to stir up the haters. 

The only one with a hard on for Sam Blum is you, @Taylor.

What other reporters do you follow? I'd like to read them as well.

You should give his podcast a listen. Sometimes his tweets come off as kind of curt, but when you hear him actually speak he just seems like a normal dude.

I don’t disagree with the results, I just wouldn’t spend time on a Sam Blum survey.  Now if AW created a survey I would take that survey because I value what we do here.  But to pretend he doesn’t slant to a “gotcha” type of reporting or he doesn’t insert himself into his reporting is simply lying, just like I would be lying if I told you I think he makes up the results.
