It is tough to come up with a solid theme for this week’s column. So let’s just spray to all fields and see if a theme develops.
The Freeway Series showed just how big of a talent gap exists between the Angels and the world champs. Just go position by position and realize we only have one position player who would make their team. Two if they move Neto to second base.
That was not just a sweep, that was a beat down. Here is the measure of the destruction in key numbers.
I was texting with my friends during that season and one mentioned the packed house at the Big A. Then I thought “and everybody seems to watch these games.” So I got curious and looked into the overall attendance and ratings boost of the Freeway Series and the numbers are huge.
And now onto something completely different. I’ve known since the Cactus League that I had the ability to ask for press credentials to the Angels and simply had not done it. I signed up for Tuesday and was approved. I then received an email from the Angels rep who approved my Spring Training credential and invited me to the preseason food and merchandise event who told me the Angels were hosting a group of at risk youth that day. She saw my name on the list and would love for me to give the event some coverage.
So I did.
That’s my shot of Adell in the dugout. I was in the dugout and I spoke with Jo Adell, who once again was a great guy. I also spoke with Gubi, another great guy. I walked so close to Trout our shoulders almost brushed then stood about 5 feet from the cage while he took BP.
I also saw Salmon quite a bit. He is definitely the mayor of Angels land. Here is a shot of him talking hitting with Zach Neto and Wayne Randazzo. Keep in mind this is just hours after Neto hit his amazing 2 run shot that that gave the Angels a walk off win after being no hit for 8 innings.
The event was incredible and I had a chance to speak with a lady from DA’s office and a couple of teachers and kids.
Here is my piece which includes the quotes I directly got from Adell and Gubi. Real journalism! It was a great experience and one I will do again.
I was initially surprised when security told me to head to the dugout, but I also didn’t hesitate. Walking through that tunnel, seeing the sun, then the Angels on the field was an incredible experience. I tried to stay professional, but come on, that’s a dream. I wasn’t quite sure I was in the right spot then I saw Trent Rush and I’ll again attest he’s a good dude. He reached his hand out, said “good to see you again” and made me feel welcomed.
None of this would be possible if Rev didn’t send me an invite to write at HH and you guys/gals being so great. I share this story not to brag but to hopefully make you feel like a part of the journey.
I will say the press box is lame. Quiet as a library. All you hear is clicking of keys. When Trout hit a bomb I instinctively stood up then realized I was the only one doing so. The pregame part of being press is ridiculously cool but covering the actual game turns something that is fun into work.
The focus here really should be on the OC GRIP program and the good it does in the community. The teachers, kids, and law enforcement personnel all gushed praise on it. The team might suck, but this is important work and they deserve kudos for doing it.
Easily the most notable thing at Angels games are the chants of “Sell the team!” and “Arte sucks!” With an empty stadium, the chants can clearly be heard all around the Big A and on the broadcasts.
I feel bad for the players hearing them, but does Arte hear them?
There are some fun things happening on the farm. MLB.com named their best surprise for each club this week.
I’m starting to imagine this swing in Anaheim soon.
An outfield rework is critical. Mike Trout is no longer a high quality defender in center field, Josh Lowe is abysmal in left field, and Jo Adell should probably be traded. He has two years of club control remaining and the Angels will not be good within two years.
From around baseball:
We are one month away from the draft. Here are 6 burning questions.
Prep for the draft (and watch more entertaining baseball) by diving into the college game. The conference tournaments are in progress and ESPN has a ton of coverage.
Enjoy your weekend and link what I missed. This Monday we take time to honor those who gave their lives so we can be safe and talk about trivial things like baseball. I will see my family for the first time in a few months and can’t wait to give my little nephews hugs.
Side note: writing post game articles here is fun but it also takes up time. Charles and John are doing a lot and could use some help. So if you’d like to pick up a game or two per week, please let us know. As you can tell the recaps can be short, long, sarcastic, funny, or just the facts. We’d appreciate any help.

Sure, why not. He’ll fit right in with Manoah.
”Walker allowed a staggering 23 earned runs and eight home runs in just 22 2/3 innings this season”
For the 2026 season, the Angels rank #8 of 30 teams in home attendance.
901,150 total (26 home games)
34,659 per home game
Arte and Perry thank you for your loyalty and validation of their efforts to build a competitive team and a fan friendly environment!
Whoops – here’s the fix.
Arte and Perry thank you for your loyalty and validation of their efforts to build
a competitive team anda fan friendly environment!It’s going to go down – Mets, Dodgers and Yankees only come once a year.
Complete with scary opossums and rats running around !!
Payers and Dodgers series were packed. Little league Sundays are belong, too.
Bit this ranking will drop significantly.
Horrible swing Neto.
Denzer is second in the PCL in RBI…
https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/leader.cgi?type=bat&id=4cb49f78
Just saw the line up. Didn’t even know Walton could play 3B.
Neither did he!!!
Just a heads up, Arte Moreno is at the game tonight. I just ran into him as he was walking into the VIP entrance. I’m in the right field 131 section. Cheap seats for my daughter’s school night.
I hope he enjoys the chants!
No way…
Did you flip him off?
Were people heckling him to sell?
Oh yes, you had the right field group, and a few others sprinkled throughout the ballpark.
We’ve won 5 out of our last 30 but there’s no reason to alter the lineup. Just keep beating our head against the wall.
At least we can’t go to a new Lowe tonight.
Yeah, no reason to bring up Christian Moore and put him at 3B, or Nelson Rada. I mean I feel bad for Nelson. Kid is ripe, soon he is gonna rot. His OBP was great in both 2024 and 2025 and has been solid his whole time in the minors… The kid is gonna lose hope. Just gotta bring him up…. He’s the ideal leadoff hitter. Give him a shot. Nothing to lose at this point for the big club…
Wade Meckler and Donovan Walton called up. Moncada to IL, Josh Lowe to AAA, Kikuchi to 60 Day IL.
Meckler and Walton don’t have a future with the team after 2026 but I guess the idea is that guys like Rada, Guzman and Moore are getting more time for development rather than the quick call
This is how to execute a proper tank 🤌🏼
Having kikuchi keep pitching would be improving the tank 😅
Continuing to start Lowe every day would be worse. Perry doesn’t even know how to tank properly.
Perry is listening regarding the perfect tank.
https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2026/05/angels-sign-taijuan-walker-to-minor-league-deal.html
Walton is 30 years old I think but he was one of the best hitters on the AAA team and may be an improvement over Lowe.
31 actually and had a pretty good walk rate this year in the minors. Meckler has only played in 5 games and both are listed as LFs. Suzuki will probably insist on playing Meckler and sitting Walton next to Peraza.
I’d rather watch TBD than Moncada, Lowe and Soler.
So I was ready for a change – but this would be lightyears better.
I am not sure I agree with California Assembly member Avelino Valencia, push to invoke Assembly Bill 2512 (the “Home Run for Anaheim Act”) but I’m on board with anything to push Arte closer to the edge. This cannot sit well. The bill to force Arte’s army to revert back to Anaheim is gaining steam and now sits with the State Senate. Not to forget, Anaheim Mayor Ashleigh Aitken has instructed the city attorney to explore whether the team’s current naming convention violates their existing stadium lease. The walls are closing in on ShArte and the rats are scurrying about.
I’m in a similar boat
Would I want the name to not have LA in it? Sure
Do I think it’s ok for the government to force a business to change it’s name? Absolutely not
I had a meeting near MacArthur Park in LA today. What a shit show. Thank God the one party monolith that dominates the California political scene has nothing better to do or address than the name of the baseball team in OC.
Bunch a fuggin corrupt clowns.
The Yoshinoya crops the street on the east side of Mc Arthur Park has an alley right next to it, that area is drug and homicide central, plus your standard ODs and zombies doing the “fentanyl fold” on the sidewalks.
Replace California with federal government 🙂.
I frequently pass by MacArthur Park, and yeah it’s super sketch
Kind of making rules like this… (Love that Arte is feeling the pressure – but this is Government overreach big time.)
https://youtu.be/H8gGXAOkbfI?si=F9Hk5QuZdCBjatfA
Sticky McSchnickens…lol
Tonight is big for Grayson. We’ll see how he does against an average team.
Also, make Jo the player/manager. Not only a good guy but a smart guy
Gonna pitch a gem. Calling it.
Jo smart? He’s pretty dumb on the base paths. 68% success stealing rate. That would inform me to give him the red light.
If not for the lucky walk-off HR, in a game in which they were no-hit for 8 innings, this team would have been swept in 3 straight series. Good job Perry and Suzuki!!
I thought that after the Billy Eppler era, the Angels can only go up after enduring its worst in the Trout era. But Perry is dead set on proving everyone wrong – he’s much much worse than Eppler. At least Eppler was able to sign Shohei and extend Trout.
A Giants’ reporter went through Wash’s famous infield drills (I remember Blum did this too).
We desperately miss this leadership accountability:
“If I’m working with you and see something I’m saying something, and if your feelings get hurt because of what I’m saying you can leave”
https://youtu.be/Ri3oetV-CwI?si=-vtuVbk1iNHatUrV
When class is in session, you follow the professor’s rules.
“I don’t mean this in a mean way, but I don’t give a (expletive) what you know,” Washington said. “You look like you got some skillset, but you asked me to help you with what I do, so just stay focused on that. Once this is all over, you want to go back to doing what you do, you go ahead. But in my presence, let’s do what we’re working on.”.
Before joining the Giants, Luis Arraez had graded out as one of the worst defenders in baseball. Under Washington’s tutelage, Arraez hasn’t just evolved into a serviceable defender. He’s become one of the best defenders in baseball.
That’s not an accident. That’s Wash.
“I’m not saying that’s wrong, but it’s not the way I teach,” Washington said. “You do some (expletive) I don’t teach, and I keep correcting you on it. You understand what I’m saying? And you gotta determine what’s best. I’m not going to tell you which one is the best. That’s for you to determine. I know what is the best.”
Washington corrected me 51 times, but the longer the workout went, the more ingrained his teachings became. By the end, if I messed up, I’d tell him what I did wrong before he had the chance. It’s fair to say that meeting Wash’s standard was incredibly hard.
For all the critiques, he was equally willing to shower me with praise when my fundamentals were on point.
That’s the move! Oh baby! Beautiful!
If you’ll allow a brief interlude, I’d like to note that Sam Blum of The Athletic executed this same idea last year. When I saw Sam at the 2025 Winter Meetings, I asked for his blessing to run it back.
At the end of the workout, I asked Wash who handled himself better: me or Sam?
“Sam ain’t got (expletive) on you,” Washington laughed.
As I walked back to the press box, I had my answer to the question of how Washington makes his infielders better.
In my opinion, the secret to Washington’s success isn’t just in the drills. Don’t get me wrong, the drills were fun, engaging and effective. By the end, I felt like I’d made strides defensively.
Still, these drills aren’t an industry secret. There are multiple versions, even if Washington’s formula is the original. So, Washington’s success wasn’t just the result of these drills. No, the answer was more obvious.
The secret was Wash.
Washington is a teacher at heart. His superpower isn’t his expertise but how he gets lessons to stick. Wash wasn’t going through the motions, but held his attention to detail for every single rep. He wasn’t afraid to push me when I had mental lapses, but he also knew when to pull back when I expressed frustration.
I also appreciated that Washington never talked down to me. I’m probably never going to play in another organized game in my life, but there was a genuine desire to teach. Nothing felt fake or contrived. If he’s putting in this much effort with me, I can only imagine what he’s doing for players.
And the bluntness of Washington’s criticisms made the compliments feel that much more rewarding. Praise had to be earned, and is there a better feeling as a baseball player than impressing the best infield coach this game has ever seen?
https://www.mercurynews.com/2026/05/22/ron-washington-sf-giants-infield-drills/
Wash would never tolerate the bullshit we’ve seen this year.
The gap between him and Suzuki is an ocean. Some would say equivalent to 15 WAR 😇
I especially appreciated Wash benching Neto one time…
https://x.com/JeffFletcherOCR/status/1830101002605011248?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1830101002605011248%7Ctwgr%5E0f1b07e48b55c120e4914dd49406e5237a3f43e4%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.si.com%2Fmlb%2Fangels%2Fonsi%2Fangels-news%2Fangeles-ron-washington-explains-why-he-surprisingly-pulled-zach-neto-mid-game-01j6qsap04ev
The only person who misses Wash more than me is Neto.
Agree. He should be benched for some of the shit he does….
I guess you and I saw different things. The team looks very similar to the one he was managing.
The main difference is in personnel. Ward >> Lowe, Kenley >> the mess we have (thanks, Perry).
But while we miss Ward’s offense he sure had his baserunning gaffes
This year’s team has a good Trout and a great Soriano.
Last year’s team had Tim Anderson. Also had a good Kikuchi.
We can do this type of qualifying all day. Results have to matter — we were a .500 team on the upswing before Wash left due to heart surgery. That’s a fact
That is a fact. Wash had the team playing more competitively but my post-All Star game weather vane had Perry Minasian waiving the white flag and plucking free agents that no team wanted. Infuriating Wash and his desire to win. Wash would have been dead man walking by game 162. Go back through Perry’s years here and the Halos Aug-Sept record is f-ugly.
I think Wash got screwed once he got heathy, at least deserved another year. I’d have like to seen Wash here under different FO circumstances. He is well respected by players who have crossed paths with him.
That’s a valid point. It’s exactly what happened in his first year here. We were playing decent ball, got to 51-64 on August 8th, injuries hit, and then wheels completely fell off finishing 63-99.
His quote at the end of the 2024 season is my favorite,
“We forgot to bring real baseball players into the organization. Nothing against those guys here, but they’re not big-league baseball players and they certainly can’t help us win a championship.” 😂
I liked Maddon a bit more, but, whatever, they’re both better than the current dead man walking.
Also, Wash was one stress attack from keeling over. Retirement was the correct call in his case.
You know, I seem to remember The Angels having a lot of errors, especially in the infield when Washington was the manager,
I remember being 36-38 at time of Wash’s departure and 10-6 in his final 16 games as manager.
That team sucked, less than this year, but still a sorry bunch. He had the team playing well above expectations. I can point to clear YoY progression.
Neto put up two 5 WAR seasons, Adell was a GG finalist in ’24 and had his best season in ’25, Nolan was 1+ WAR player in ’24 and ’25.
Weird how all our younger players took a step back now that he’s gone.
We were alot better under him than we are now. That’s for sure !
The worst thing about this: after the time these players spent on a Washington coached/drilled team, the vast majority of the lessons taught did not “stick”.
Says more about the players than Wash imo. He was successful in Texas and is widely lauded across baseball.
Wash is a gem and this franchise is a shithole. That’s the takeaway.
I agree but I believe he was miscast as a field manger. He should be an infield coach.
That’s right. As a manager, he was an infield coach.
He was the manager when Texas went to b2b WS and won 90 games in 4 consecutive seasons.
We can chill with the disrespect
Give them time, P.
When Scioscia left, 85% of CtPG peeps had the attitude of good riddance and don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
Wash was a gem and b-t-b WS speaks for itself. Baseball people hold him in the highest regard. Atlantas IF all won GGs, but it didn’t happen overnight. And there was more talent and infrastructure there.
undisputedly, the team is performing much worse since Wash left.
I agree – it’s a player issue, and an indication of why this group of players is not showing improvement year after year.
Poor Wash, from one Minasian to another. Angels are 30th and the Giants are 28th on MLBs Power Rankings.
I am seeing so much on my socials about the mobs of shirtless men yelling at Arte.
I don’t know if it will accomplish anything, but it is cracking me up.
I’m tuning in every game for these heroes 😂😂😂
https://x.com/i/status/2057662651262788046
Arte just sees this and says “Look at all these people paying for tickets and beer, we must be doing something right”
Imo, the money in-stadium protesters are spending is a net benefit in terms of making the “sell the team” message go viral. Honestly, I’m hoping it continues to snowball. I think it’s cynical to say that ownership and MLB as a whole won’t be embarrassed by Angels fans roasting the shit-stain on a nightly basis, especially since Angels fans have such a reputation for being mild-mannered SoCal-chill.
Even if it does f*ck-all, how fun is it to take off your shirt and swing it around like a helicopter??? Somewhere in North Carolina, Petey Pablo is smiling.
https://youtu.be/tHnA94-hTC8?si=9GAkIxWiCi8xyaSr
If the Skaggs or Ippei situations didn’t cause the franchise significant difficulty within the ranks of MLB ownership, the shirtless mob protests over losing won’t move the needle at all.
The Angels thrive on bad publicity.
Respectfully, this feels different to me. The confluence of us being on pace to lose 107–110 games, the farm being ranked 28th (mind-boggling), and a historically docile fan base chanting their dissatisfaction has the potential to become an embarrassment for MLB as a whole. Let the Summer of Shame commence.
Don’t forget being surrounded by the homeless tents.
Love what they’re doing. Too bad this org is a bunch of soft people who will fire anyone being critical of the team.
I’m really curious how the broadcast team talks about tonight’s blackout and the protest Sunday on Peacock.
Probably just ignore it, arte is giving them free angel condoms and all you can eat possum.
😂😂😂
At this point, the entire org has to know what is going on. The Angels social media is flooded by sell the team comments. I’m surprised they left the comments on. Most baseball related social media accounts have posted the taking of the tarps sell the team chants.
Chatted with the guy who runs the X account last night. Told him I embed his highlight clips often. Good dude.
I have no idea if anybody in the organization really reads it or the comments.
Hey Jeff, can you gives some insight of the vibes at the stadium? How are the players demeaner, the vibes of the exec’s?
The execs understand the frustration. You can see the players react when the chants start.
More fans are taking about the chants than the games.
It feels like a change is absolutely required.
The issue remains: does anyone in Angels baseball operations who has decision-making authority care about the chants from the shirtless mobs?
As for social media posts: unless someone in the Angels organization is being paid to aggregate the comments and report them to baseball executives, the posts accomplish nothing more than making folks feel good about venting.
It’s no different than the typical lunatic fringe rants seen throughout Facebook on every topic, the flame-throwing in Glassdoor from disgruntled employees, or even fans in Philly throwing snowballs at Santa. The general public either laughs or tunes it out.
The younger generation lives and breathes on social media. Funny/relevant Sell the Team could at least be an embarrassment for MLB. Even if it doesn’t, FUG IT. Gonna be fun.
1-9 our last 10 games w/ a -45 run differential. The only win came after being no-hit for 8 innings.
6-24 in our last 30 games w/ a -84 run differential.
We are in the midst of one of the most epic tanks in recent MLB memory. This team could lose 120 games. The Los Angeles Angels of Arte is the best comedy on TV right now.
Attempting to set aside my fandom, it doesn’t seem this team should be this bad.
Soriano
Detmers
Kochanwicz
Urena
Not a bad rotation at all.
Neto, Trout, Adell, Soler, Frazier have all been solid MLB hitters in their careers.
Suzuki absolutely sucks, though.
Lowe, Siri, Rivero were hitting in a group last night. Yes, Lowe is rebounding and had a really good at bat last night, but Siri and Rivero are automatic K’s. Suzuki essentially gave up 3 innings by having that pathetic grouping.
When I get done with work I can pull team numbers — just from watching every game, we strikeout at a ridiculous clip, conversely don’t make enough contact or walk. We don’t steal any bases. Our entire team defense is atrocious.
Outside of Bachman and Silseth do we have any other reliever with a positive WAR?
Suzuki obviously is a negative. Another qualitative factor we don’t discuss enough is the effect Arte’s comments have had on the team. We’ve all known Arte doesn’t care about winning, but saying the quiet part out loud has to be damning and deflating in that clubhouse. Add the in the losing and chants … the spirit of these players is gone. This is a cultural issue and you know it’s affecting them mentally and negatively impacting performance.
Leading the league in K’s by a wide margin. Add that to horrible defense and we both give away outs offensively and give teams other extra outs.
Strongly agree with your first sentence and everything else except for including Adell as being a solid MLB hitter in his career. Except for last year he was never better than 10% below average for his 7 year career and this year so far he is a little less than average.
It’s hard for me to believe that Suzuki can be this stupid. He doesn’t play his best players, consistently sets the club up for defensive failures, and has no idea what he’s doing with the line up.
As bad as Suzuki is, and he’s really bed, Perry certainly did not help him with construction of the roster.
The issue remains that baseball is a team sport. Sure, Soriano is legit, and Detmers and Silent C can provide a solid 3 or 4 innings, but what goes on with the remaining players on the 26-man roster during the game makes the difference. As constructed, this is one of the worst teams in MLB.

LOL we are so good at being bad. Yay!
Shocked we’re league average in walks.
Thanks for pulling the numbers!
Pathetic.
I believe for Adell, it’s only one year of control after this year. Great job by the grounds crew on the dugout floor. It looks amazing compared to how it looks after the game. Great shots Jeff. Have to get Gubi to talk to you about his love for Christmas.
I’m sure Molly Jolly is nice and all, but why we are promoting from within when the in has spawned a team that is the laughingstock of baseball. Promote from within when the people at the top have been doing well. How in the world has Molly Jolly been doing well? What can she point to as a success during her tenure her especially in the not to distant past of her still holding a high up job? I’d have to think the only reason she got hired is because Arte knows she’s a yes woman that won’t cause problems and lets be real, he’s probably paying her half of someone that can’t point to specific reasons why they should be promoted.
She was promoted because Arte no longer cares.
Likely a nice lady but just another corporate shill.
I looked into her background when she was promoted.
Molly worked for the Ducks prior to coming to the Angels.
She was hired as an executive by Disney, which has a better track record than Arte.
She was a finance manager at ARCO, which also has a better track record than Arte.
She has high level education in HR and experience in HR.
In every way, shape, and form, she is far more qualified for the position than John Carpino was when he was elevated to the position. That is not saying much as Carpino was completely unqualified.
Considering Arte’s absolute failure to identify talent it is just at likely she was overlooked for the last 15 years as it is that she will be a failure on the level of Carpino.
If that is the case, though, it begs the question why she stuck around.
I’m sure from a business, finance, and HR perspective, she is highly qualified to be club president, but she should hire a baseball person to do the baseball stuff. Carpino had no qualifications for business or baseball.
I have a friend who worked in finance for ARCO years ago. They hire really smart and talented people.
100% agreed. Putting on my fan hopium, if Jolly can identify an actual talent to run the front office that could change the direction of the franchise.
As much as we bash Arte (and rightly so) it was Minasian who created this entire roster outside of Trout, Adell, Detmers, and Soriano. And those are probably the 4 best players.
It was Perry who signed Stephenson, traded a quality reliever for Lowe, failed to develop a bullpen, and signed Romano and the rest of the bad relievers.
You know what’s sad Jeff is that the right person with the freedom to do so could really turn this franchise around and it would draw 30K plus every night and win some games. That’s what keeps me going, believing that someday that might happen, even with the same owner. I don’t understand why Arte doesn’t seem to be interested in a successful organization both business wise and baseball wise. It is neither right now.
Agreed.
There are enough odds and ends in the organization that you can squint a see a decent team on the horizon. Some good drafting, a shrewd trade, and spending the Rendon/Kikuchi money and you can have a good team.
“Angels vs. Dodgers: How the Freeway Series Blowout Exposes a Wide Talent Gap”
Last I checked the Angels had won six of the last nine games…
Rose colored glasses?
I hear you, but I can’t remember a bigger three game whooping than last weekend. We made Roki look like a Cy Young candidate and he suuuuuuuucks.
EHC – is that you?
No
But lost that last three by a combined 31-3.
And the larger sample sizes prove this as well.
I read the article… It was brutal.
The AngelsArte is that girlfriend that you don’t want to break up with, but you know you have to.I haven’t watched any games on TV over the past 10 days or so. Question for those that are and/or have attended games, can the players hear the crowd chants of “Sell” ????
I wish management would embrace that reality that the next 120 games or whatever are essentially Spring Training for 2027.
Release Soler, Moncada & Lowe, now. Move Trout to full-time DH with an occasional OF appearance. Let Adell, Teo & TBD roam the OF.
Is Pazuzu better at 3B or 2B? Play him at that spot for the rest of the season.
Yes, the players can hear the chants. Neto acknowledged that during an interview.
And I can attest from my conversations last night the executive suite hears the chants.
If you’re Arte, you could embrace the chants and throw Perry and Kurt under the bus and say I hear you and things will eventually be different, but I don’t think he actually cares. He’s becoming a poor mans Donald Sterling.
We need our V Stiviano.
the 🐐
Throat Goat.
The silence from Arte is deafening.
You’d think after saying the fans don’t care about winning he would issue some BS clarification or something, but he did not. He said what he said and that was it.
Even a weak “We are trying to build a winner for the future. I want to win and know the fans want to win. What I meant was there are a lot of reasons fans come to the ballpark and I want to have a great fan experience while we build the next winning team.” would have been better.
This!
After the reaction to his last public comments, Arte has listened to counsel and is refraining from further public statements.
Plus he’s spending his days swimming….
Life is like hurricane
For those about to rock in right field tonight, we salute you. Hope the “blackout” is cracking. I’m going to the protest on State College tomorrow, and I’ll be rocking the T-shirt below. If you’re there, I’d love to meet some of you and commiserate. TARPS OFF!
https://youtu.be/pAgnJDJN4VA?si=y_ZhTtm6SYkNz6rW
You’re doing the Lord’s work.
Here’s hoping this is the beginning of the end of this Halo hellscape. If not, misery loves company.
Perfect shirt.
