MLB world reacts to Joe Maddon’s mohawk
Brutal timing.
Brutal timing.
The timing would have made this reunion awkward, to say the least.
Nickelback couldn't save the Angels.
Hours after firing Joe Maddon and naming Phil Nevin interim manager, the Los Angeles Angels lost their 13th straight game. That's a single-season franchise record.
Mike Trout left Tuesday night's Angels game with left groin tightness, hours after the organization fired manager Joe Maddon. The Angels have lost 12 games in a row.
Phil Nevin, who had been the third-base coach this season, was named interim manager.
The Phillies hit a game-tying grand slam in the eighth inning, and then they hit a walk-off homer when trailing in the ninth.
It's hard to understand what the Angels were thinking here.
Theo Epstein and the Cubs are hoping whatever they lose by letting Maddon walk is outweighed by a new voice.
Two articles on the A-Rod/Maddon discussion were headlined quite differently, but both views of it can be true.
It's not panic, and it's not an overreaction. It's a commitment to constant improvement.
"If Granderson hits the next pitch out, I might come running out of the clubhouse in my jockstrap. That (call) was really that bad."
