It won't be. Arte likes this bullshit.

[OregonLAA]

Please fire him. What’s with the short leashes on the starters? They have a 6 man rotation and gassed the bullpen on the first weekend

[Lou]

I warned you guys.

if you keep things in perspective, something often lacking on this board, Maddon isn't wrong.

traveling on the I-10E, it's 1531 miles from anaheim to houston.

comparatively, the distance from the earth to the moon is a whopping 238,900 miles, AND there are no rest stops, truck stops, or restaurants.

perspective, people. perspective.

I think Joe is right to shrug off the first series of the season that was shitty.

Considering you all are the same group of guys who were afraid to criticize Reagins as GM and were sucking Dipoto's pole for years, you haven't really shown you're all the greatest baseball minds out there.  I'm gonna continue to support Joe for now. 

Yet we state actual reasons as to why we don't like Maddon whereas your idea of making to arguments to defend him are insulting people and posting links to retarded fan rankings

[Angels 1961]

Joe could be gone if halos have a bad April. Let's say 7 to 9 games under 500. Angels cannot wait after 6 losing seasons. Mike can drive down the 5 or Phil Nevin can manage team from 3rd base coaching box.

[Reveille1984]

I don't think Joe would be in any danger even if we had that terrible of an April.  This just isn't the type of ownership group that would feel pressured to make a move based on mediocrity.  

Unless attendance/profitability takes a complete nosedive, I honestly don't feel Moreno cares that much about the team's performance.  As long as he has his marketable stars in Trout/Ohtani to draw in the fanbase, I don't think he's too worried.

[HanfordGuy]

Please don’t fire Maddon yet.

I agree Moreno only cares about the money and he knows people will go to the games. People need to stop giving Moreno there money and not go to the games and show home the fans care and want a good team that will be in the playoffs and spend money on players and not low class players or sell the team to someone who will build a winner and spend money, not a team that is trying to survive last place.

There is precedent, but many years back.

From 1976-78, the Halos replaced the manager in season every year.

1976 - Dick Williams fired after 96 games, replaced by Norm Sherry.

1977 - Norm Sherry fired after 81 games, replaced by Dave Garcia.

1978 - Dave Garcia fired after 46 games, replaced by Jim Fregosi.
