This is ALL to hire Joe Madden the Cubs ex-manager. He is a former member of the Angels organization and they are slobbering to hire him.

Typically when a team loses consistently, the owner looks to new coaching. If a team wins consistently, the owner will attempt to keep the coaching staff in place.

Mike Scioscia managed the Angels for how many seasons? Brad Ausmus got one. Maybe they are going to go after Joe Madden.

I remember my dad taking me to Angel games. We lived in nearby Orange and it was a ten-minute drive. We were usually able to get the Club Section seats, usually the section right next to the press box where Dick Enberg, who started his stellar baseball career in 1969, and Don Wells, the original color announcer, announced the games. We attended games all the way to my last year in high school (I left in my junior year to join the Army).

Nowadays I wouldn’t dream of going, even if I still lived in California. The crowds are a bit wack, and StubHub charges $120 minimum per ticket for the section I sat in with my dad for mid-season, weeknight games.

The Angels went 7-18 in September and finished 37 games behind the AL West champion Houston Astros.

Maybe after Trout when down the team just quit on Ausmus.

Tyler Skaggs whose number was #45 died from from a drug overdose, is fishy.. What is a top an athlete doing using drugs ? The Angel management troubles must run deeper than Ausmus, they have team Dr's , so how could Skaggs be using drugs , and nobody knew, people don't just have a one time chance overdoses? .. either that or fowl play, not saying there is a conspiracy necessarily , but the lack of coverage on the investigation and the the redirect of #RIP45 on twitter to mean something else has been a sad state of affairs for the 2019 Angels.

"He navigated this franchise through one of its most difficult seasons with class and professionalism." Professional letter. Good job Angels management. Interesting. Ausmus has the chance to manage this team for 25 years but lacked the talents: game tempo (his games were slow), line-ups (his lead off hitters were always different) and tv magnetism (boring dude who was always spitting and eating sunflower seeds). Joe Maddon? I hope not. Darin Earstad? He just quit the Univ. Nebraska baseball program after many years. Rick Vanderhook? I hope so. Good coach at Cal State Fullerton.

The Angles can track down another manager but they won’t track down the Houston Astros.

Baseball managers are like politicians where they can totally f-up in their job and yet land another great gig somewhere else.

[be-baw]

Ausmus managed for the Tigers and he was really bad. Supposedly he’s very bright but he did not know how to motivate players. Part of his problem in Detroit was there were quite a few high-priced star veterans on the team and, that alone, would make a first managing job difficult.

Steinbrenner: George, as painful as it is, I’ve had to let a few people go over the years. Yogi Berra, Lou Piniella, Bucky Dent, Billy Martin, Dallas Green, Dick Hauser, Bill Virdon, Billy Martin, Stump Merrill, Billy Martin, Bob Lemon, Billy Martin, Gene Michael, Buck Showalter, George, you didn’t hear that from me!

[TBP]

Joe Maddon was an Angels minor league manager and major league coach for years.

I thought this might happen.

We wait all year for DC-MIL tonite.

But who has 3 hours to watch?
I’ve surmised this is not a big baseball site.
