Dude -- I pretty much stopped using everything else.   If you want to cut down on the mess some are talking about, buy the parchment paper inserts -- makes a HUGE difference in cleanup.

I just want him gone already. Hopefully, the next ownership will actually invest in the entire franchise and not just on overrated hitters.

Yep

if only there was a way to avoid the need to speculate on someone's health or a reason for selling? possibly even respectfully inform the public need for answers to a problem that also may involve a private matter. some way to deter rumor and gossip. if only there was a way.

What's the problem? I'm amazed that we finished in third place rather than 4th or 5th.
Leave Arte alone! He's the owner, he's not accountable to us peons. He's making gobs of money, and has been very successful in that regard. Playoffs are overrated.
/sarc

But he's MEAN!!! And he's doing "gotcha journalism"!! Waaaaaaahhhh.

Angel fans have been calling out Arte for years. God forbid a journalist does so in an opinion piece.

Is his job really to "report the news"?  He's a writer who can write about the team in the style that he wants

Clearly he doesn’t have to answer questions, because he hasn’t.
If I were an Angels reporter, I’d be upset that he blatantly lied to my face by saying he’d talk to the media “later this Spring” in mid-March, only to never talk later that Spring.

He’s from NY, so that’s probably the type of media style he’s used to.
I don’t mind it. It gives a different perspective, which some people I guess don’t like.

Not sure why this thread has turned into some folks expressing their hatred towards Sam Blum.
What he said is right. Arte Moreno should stand up and answer questions, yet he’s hid from the media for three seasons.

It truly seems like some oddly personal thing you have against him.  It's weird. 

Nope. 

Yep

Tone it down, man. Disagree with his style if you want, but you act like he killed your dog. 

I don't see what the problem is. You guys give Sam Blum a bunch of crap but it seems you just want the reporters to suck Arte's knob.

I think the goal is to save Ukraine and Moldova in the immediate future and to avoid all Russian aggression in Eastern Europe in the long term.  A bonus, which I think is part of the plan, is the weakening of the Russian government to the point where the people or those below Putin remove him and Russia is brought back into the civilized world and not as a legitimate nuclear threat to the west.
Whether its worth it can be debated but don’t act you guys don’t know what the goal is here.  And if there was a Republican in office you’d be guns blazing with yellow and blue flags waving in the wind off your pickups.

i'm 49 the game is boring as shit now. i can't even watch a full mlb baseball game anymore. nothing happens, and unlike chicks i don't particularly care about the long ball. if that's true of me who grew up playing and watching the sport, then it's definitely true for young people. i'm happy to see those changes and more to come. bring me the robo umps!

According to one of the articles, it shaved 28 minutes off of the minor league games. Went from 3:06 down to 2:38. Pretty significant.

Just missing robo umps for balls/strikes! 

Terrible, evil practice to promise the world to vulnerable and impoverished families and then being like, "Nah, go f yourselves." I hope the Angels get sued for every cent they promised to these guys, and that this practice gets eradicated from the MLB.

This organization sucks. Arte Moreno can’t get out of here fast enough so the org can be revamped from top to bottom.
My biggest concern is if MLB declared the players from the Angels Jan. 15, 2021 international class free agents.
That would, among others, make Edgar Quero a free agent.

There’s a reason politicians rarely leave office poor
