John Carpino throws out the first pitch to a loud cascade of boos.
They tried to drown it out with music.
Having him do this seems like a weird humiliation ritual. Certainly a choice. https://t.co/OKYBkeK6jk
Arte Moreno’s legacy:
– Nine straight losing seasons
– Wasted Mike Trout’s prime
– Fumbled Shohei Ohtani
– Burned hundreds of millions on Rendon, Pujols, and Hamilton
– Built a bottom-tier farm system
– Refused to sell the team (despite trying)
– Turned Angel Stadium into a retirement home for bad contracts
– Let Joe Maddon give himself a mohawk… then fired him
– Somehow made fans nostalgic for the Scioscia era
– Drafted 20 pitchers in 2021—developed zero
– Built a team so irrelevant Trout doesn’t even make national TV
– Spent more time buying real estate than building a roster
– Let his GM trade for injured arms (hi, Lucas Giolito)
– Perfected the “win-now” strategy that never wins
– Even the Rally Monkey gave up and filed for a trade.
What A Joke. #FuckYouArte
I was informed that the team will be seeking a trade immediately and will be working with me and my family to find the right place to continue competing for championships. I don’t agree with the decision and always believed it was going to begin and end in LA.
Still, if there’s one thing that I have learned over the years: there are so many things that are out of your control, but it is how you respond to these things that you will look back on and remember.
I have taken so much pride in playing alongside my teammates for the LA community, so thank you for embracing my family and making this such a special place for us.
2024 began with one of the best training camps of my career. Preparations start now for 2025. Highly motivated, as healthy as ever, and looking forward to playing elite football for years to come. Love you guys..
But coming for it all.
