    HaloSpurs got a reaction from Vladdy Issues in Sam Blum   
    Honestly, I think Sam is very good at his job, he investigates and writes about a lot of issues many of us have been calling out for years and he challenges in ways others aren't able to. I fully appreciate that the style isn't for everybody and why some people chose not to engage with his content and that's absolutely their right to do so, but I think he's been a very good addition to coverage of the Angels and a different perspective.

    HaloSpurs reacted to angelsnationtalk in Carpino bans Sam Blum from AM830 "Beat Reporter Roundtable" for being too negative, other Angels journalists say they won't be going back on   
    They won't which is why Blum was in his own category of why people are easily rubbed the wrong way.
    I appreciate him calling it out as it is.

    HaloSpurs reacted to jsnpritchett in Rendon might get tomorrow off due to tarp collision, but "not considered serious"   
    No big deal if he's not.  It's just another planned off-day.

    Seeing how bad Dylan Hernandez of the LA Times has been it made me realize that Sam Blum isn't that bad afterall in comparison. He does write up some great feature stories and provides the fans with a ton of content throughout the season/offseason.

    I wasn't a fan of him taking over, but he is different from the rest of the beat reporters. He will put the pressure on people and ask the questions no one wants to ask. Especially calling out Arte Moreno. 
    I feel like he says what most of us complain about on here, just when someone says it publicly I guess people suddenly get rubbed the wrong way.

    Don’t understand why people hate him so much, I was not a fan of him when he first took over as Ardaya’s replacement, found his tweeting style in particular to just be annoying, but it doesn’t annoy me anymore and I appreciate that he’s willing to shed light on issues in the organization that other people aren’t.  And again to anyone who is bothered by that, don’t you want the Angels to be a first class organization that other teams look to replicate?  Putting pressure on the organization to make changes is the only thing anyone can really do.

    I really hope O'Hoppe and Ohtani are a good match. I'd love to see Logan make the team and steal some games away from Stassi.
