Ron Washington hopes fans don't give up on the team

[jsnpritchett]

Some odd phrasing in a few places here.  First, he can fuck right off for even hinting that any Angels fans are "front runners."  We've got a decade of losing and we're still here for some dumb reason.

Also, I think it's kind of funny that he just outright says, "I know we may not have the best personnel in the world."  Lol.

"We're going to be about it."

Well... we'd rather watch a winner than listen to one.

Exactly. I'm already getting tired of his shtick.

[Stradling]

I kinda hope we lose some fans.  At the end of the day this is what a rebuild looks and feels like.

I like Wash, but he can save the "Rah-Rah" chatter for his players.

When his team routinely falls behind early and often, I get bored. I can find other things to do.

I like watching the young guys develop, but some of these games are about as entertaining as a root canal.

The Angels org just becomes increasingly unlikeable.

The hype video before the season started is embarrassing now as well.

I have no interest in paying good money to watch a team that couldn't win in a beer league game. I was in Huntington Beach a month or so ago for a funeral. It took me 2 hours just to get to Riverside, and 3 hours total to get home. If they were actually competitive, I would have no problem dealing with traffic to watch a game. Until they are competitive, I am staying home.

Lose a lot of fans. We need to hit rock bottom.

I doubt they believe it either.

Wash is probably talking about the fans booing the team and he should be sensitive about that.

Most baseball teams “lose” fans when they suck. Then when they’re good again, they come back.

I hope the team doesnt give up on the fans.

I really enjoy what the A's fans have been doing. Kinda wish we had those guts.

Cool.

It's the dumbest thing to say but.... Actions speak louder than words. At this point the only one thing will help this team is a full rebuild without Arte.

Doesn't matter what GM or Manager comes in. 

[ScottM]

Ron got handed an absolute shit sandwich up and down the organization. I'm not surprised he's already letting things fly.

It's his birthday, let em cook.

Vent your frustrations toward the fans that spend their discretionary money to pay for your salaries. 

Or maybe STFU and play above .500. 

[HeavenlyHalos]

I will never give up on the Angels but I do have a hard time supporting it financially with Arte as the owner. Of course that is saying very little since I live in Northern California and use my friend's MLB.tv account. Pretty much, I just don't have the desire to take my annual SoCal trip to watch the team play or buy Angels merchandise. That will show Arte... absolutely nothing... but at least it makes me feel... in no way better.

"May not have the best personnel in the world"

What does that even mean?

[Inside Pitch]

This is why Middleton sucked.  Cause you guys wouldn't cheer hard enough... It was YOUR fault!!!!!!!

Still the biggest clown statement made in Angels' clown-dom.

“Our roster is dogshit.  But come out and see us play anyway!”  

[Jay]

Yeah he probably should have left out the part about "not having the best personnel..."
