Really?
53% career winning percentage. won the pennant with the rays, and made World Series history for the cubs
problem with the angels falls on the owner and the front office. Have repeatedly wasted money on terrible free agent signings, that have hurt the team. their farm system is one of the worst in all mlb too

Still not a fan of Trout. Good for him.... talented etc... but what has he won so far? Nothing. He's laughing all the way to the bank each week. What does he care?

Sounds like a knee jerk reaction here.
Madden out but has anything changed among the players?
Anything?
Same batters, same pitchers.

Major downgrade at manager: Phil Nevin. got fired by the Bombers because he was the dumbest third base coach in history

It's 2022. The whole world is changing except sports still refuse to fire the whole team.

Clown, good manager, doesn't change the fact he's still a clown.

He got snarky with a reporter after the game last night when asked if the team was still competing and fighting the way he wants.
I wonder if that little exchange had anything to do with him getting canned today?
After hearing it, I didn't think it was that big of a deal but some seemed to be upset by it.

But theres more to it then that though. Think about at work if you hate your boss, do you work harder? Probably not. But if you like who is around maybe you care just a little bit more. Also sometimes these managers cling to certain players and dont allow others their opportunity. Maddon honestly is overrated in my opinion. He got alot of credit for Tampa and once he left Tampa is still doing what they do. With the Cubs that team was bought and also loaded with talent. Maddon just had to show up. I think his coaching style is lazy and sometimes he thinks hes smarter than everyone else.
Different sport but i remember when the Penguins finally fired Dan Bsylma and went with Mike Sullivan and he had the guts to sit Fleury and play Matt Murray(obviously Murray isnt really any good now) which helped lead them to 2 cups.

He definitely thinks he's the smartest guy in the room.

Can't prove anything, but word is Trout didn't care too much for Maddon.

Thanks TMS, hope all is well on the mean streets of Detroit pal!
It probably didn't have much to do with it but interesting timing...

Manager of angels was not the problem. a steroid/hgh trout, along with two dozen mistakes, and a front office that is incapable of drafting anyone that can play 162
then Artie the asshole dummy, worst owner ever
