Wash was aware of the hand he was dealt going into the season. He’s been around. Given the farm system and the talent vs other teams. Wasn’t the best hand by the end of the season.
I feel bad for everyone who has ever eaten Ron’s famous chicken salad
Ngl I miss him already
I love Wash but its for the best the Halos move on to a younger manager. Wash should focus on his health after having a major heart surgery. Managing the halos will only add more stress for his health
Washington was not the problem with this team.
IDK how anyone can see the last couple weeks under Perry and still give him the confidence this subreddit has with him.
He optioned Christian Moore too late (while also making him ride the bench) and now his service time has started thus wasting any time we could’ve had with him in the minors develop
He sat in front of everyone as said “This team is OBVIOUSLY competitive” as we were sitting 5 games under .500
After that comment we went 19-34
He had a #2 pick in the draft and a bunch of expiring players at the deadline to improve our depleted farm. After that draft and not making moved at the deadline our farm sits at #27
And now in the offseason he’s hiding from reporters (Sam Blum saying he’s been unavailable for comment and still hasn’t announced a end of season exit interview) and placing the blame, yet again, on his managers.
And now Ron is telling it like it is and saying Perry gave him chicken shit and wanted Ron to make chicken salad with it.
Yet somehow the fans on this sub still want us to stick by this GM who has overseen one of the worst and downright most embarrassing stretches in franchise history because…why again?
Exactly, it’s the players
Its becoming harder and harder to love this team im ngl. Im not jumping ship but im moving my focus now to Ducks hockey as this shit is depressing. At least the Ducks have a fucking owner who gives a shit and invests in the team and outreach. Sell the team Arte please for the love of god.
I feel like he is responsible for how good the team played the first half of the season. They really started to gel as a team.
