Swiss Angel Fan reacted to UndertheHalo in Washington’s staff
Hiring all the Washington’s is as good a strategy as any.

Swiss Angel Fan reacted to Dtwncbad in The Official Los Angeles Angels 2023-2024 Hot Stove Offseason Thread
Angels1961 says the INO fries have been the same for 8 years, where nothing changes, and he thinks it’s time to begin a rebuild of the fries.

Nice! Ron Washington is almost old enough to run for president.

Swiss Angel Fan reacted to Inside Pitch in Billy Eppler resigned as Mets GM amid MLB investigation into improper injury list placements
To be fair.... As a former Angels GM he probably thought it was normal to put anyone and everyone on the DL.

Swiss Angel Fan reacted to Jeff Fletcher in Minasian season ending press conference notes
Funny aside:
Early in 2022, when things weren't going right for the Angels offense, Joe Maddon shook up the batting order and he basically admitted it wasn't for any reason more than just for the sake of making a change.
He called it "rearranging deck chairs on (pause) the big boat."
Maddon was halfway through his sentence when he realized he was about to compare his team to the Titanic.

Swiss Angel Fan reacted to T.G. in MLB Network Radio: Arte Moreno “put a cap” on GM salary in 2020, paid less than Assistant GM positions in other orgs.
For an owner who supposedly "loves baseball" - he doesn't always act like it.
I've said it before... the Angels have a culture problem and that starts with Arte. At the end of the day, Arte may know how to make money - but he doesn't seem to know how to lead men and women. He's not inspiring. Great leaders make their teams feel safe. He doesn't do that from what I can tell. He seems to lack humility and I think many great leaders have that too.
I get the impression he loves the idea of owning a team. He loves being at the park, etc. - but he doesn't have the passion for the game the way some owners might. Maybe that's not fair. I don't know the man. That being said - over the years a picture of who he is has been painted for us and most of us wouldn't want to hang that painting on our wall.
At the end of the day - it's his team. He gets to do what he wants to do and it's all out of our control I'm an Angels fan, but being a fan isn't the most important thing in my life. It's not even close. Baseball is supposed to be fun. Angels baseball hasn't been much fun of late. Thankfully, I have other things to do and focus on. I keep my eyes on the Angels because when it is fun - it's real fun.
My interest would probably be even less than it is right now if it wasn't for AW. AW helps keep my interest in the game. AW is a big part of my fandom now. That's saying something. That's a testimony to the work Chuck has done.
Players, coaches, GM's, broadcasters, etc. all come and go... but the AW faithful are here day in and day out. That helps make baseball fun for me.

Money is reserved for flash in the pan free agents, not for long term executives.

Swiss Angel Fan reacted to Angels in 2030 in MLB Network Radio: Arte Moreno “put a cap” on GM salary in 2020, paid less than Assistant GM positions in other orgs.
filter that down below the FO organizational chart -- and you start to see why the scouting sucks, prospect development sucks, international sucks, etc., etc.

Swiss Angel Fan reacted to Mark68 in Just sell the goddamn team, Arte.
You couldn't have fucked up the organization any more if you had tried.
Are you really a Dodger fan who always intended to make this organization a laughingstock? If so, mission accomplished.
Sell the fucking team. We don't want you here any more.

Swiss Angel Fan reacted to stevestevens in Rendon has fractured tibia
If they just found out two weeks ago.....either this is the worst medical staff in the history of professional sports or Rendon is liar. Both are probably true though.
This organization is a total shit show under Moreno.

Swiss Angel Fan reacted to Jeff Fletcher in Angels Open to Trading Trout (IF he requests one)
Of course it’s true.
