Re: Hogan. Her early season form was so shaky that I wouldn’t call the concerns about her “disrespect”; she earned that skepticism.

If anything I think it was the FO overselling Arnold that was really disrespectful, both to Hogan and to us fans. Arnold is decent, too (and better playing out) but the idea that Hogan was still in April-form and Arnold would rescue us was a poor choice by the management.
That's what I mean. Handing Arnold the starting spot, essentially, when by that point Hogan was the keeper the team had come together around, to the extent it had come together. That's a major disruption to make mid-season, at a position that was no longer a problem and for someone who was not really an upgrade. Should have waited until the offseason and had an open competition for the starting spot.
