    Joe - did not just grow stupid. Players just cease to be motivated because they have heard it all before.

    Would you put up with Belichick if he was 2-30 the last 2 years?

    College - new turnover of players periodically.

    Would not surprise me a bit if this move helps the Angels get better.

    That team will never win until they get rid of trout and get some top-flight pitchers and low payroll hitters

    Works every time

    They'll be slightly better the next few seasons, then Joe's act will wear thin and they'll slide back into oblivion, with Joe getting shitcanned along the way! Same song, different team...

    Well if it's the same song, then they'll be singing into the World Series. Joe is not a long-termer at his age. He'll be there somewhere between 3-5 seasons, no more, regardless of result.

    Managers don’t mean all that much, unless they get some pitching they will continue sucking.

    Would make perfect sense with the arrival of Maddon. Team has been stagnant for the last 5 seasons, they need a major jolt!

    Joe Maddon will look to become the 5th manager to win the WS with 2 different franchises:
    - Bill McKechnie (1925 Pirates, 1940 Reds)
    - Bucky Harris (1924 Senators, 1947 Yankees)
    - Sparky Anderson (1975-76 Reds, 1984 Tigers)
    - Tony La Russa (1989 Athletics, 2006 & 2011 Cardinals)

    The lineup is more than capable. I’m assuming the jap kid gonna go back to pitching next year? (Although he always seems hurt), they need more pitching in the worst way tho. They not shy about spending money, can’t imagine they brought madden in not to go for it. Or can’t imagine he would sign up with them unless he was sure they would.

    Far more up to the GM than him. Managers don’t influence games much. All they do is manage egos and make pen decisions. Good ones make little difference, Bad ones ruin a team!!

    I always say, every team wins 60 and lose 60. it is the other 42 that matter and Joe may make a difference. I would expect the Angels will be big players in free agency. We'll see what happens.

    Yeah. Why would they hire Maddon if they're not trying hard to win now.

    Joe Maddon isn't a fan of the proposal to eliminate 42 minor league cities.

    "I am a minor league grunt, and that’s where I grew up,” Maddon said. "The minor leagues were the most fascinating and most dramatic place I’ve ever worked.”
