Rendon on clubhouse culture under Maddon vs. Nevin "I'm not going to answer that question, because then it's going to look like I'm shitting on Joe"

Rendon liked Maddon as manager as much as all of us here did 

[cals]

He’s extremely outspoken but he won’t talk shit on Maddon?  Ok.

the only person that liked maddon was arte lmao.

I liked Maddon, every manager has his unique style.  I also like Nevin, and I wouldn't say that one is better than the other.  They are different.  I also liked Mike S., not everyone did but it's hard to dislike him when he was instrumental in giving us a World Series Champion.  I would say all three of these managers had unique personalities, and I enjoyed following them and seeing their approach.  I get tired of the criticism of managers, I know it's a major part of the game for all teams and all managers, but I find it tiring looking for faults all of the time.  Let's have a positive year for a change.  Just keep focused on the goal....the playoffs.

Reporter: So, what do you think about Nevin as a manager?

Rendon: Well, all I'm saying is that he never intentionally walked in a run...

Just when you thought the man couldn't do better than his one armed assault he goes and tops himself.

and it seems like even Arte got tired of Maddon, since he apparently let Perry fire him without any pushback

I think Nevin’s personality is a better fit for this team.

Maddon was laid back, and I feel like Angels teams were too complacent in recent seasons.

Rendon mentioned Nevin holding players accountable, which makes me think Maddon didn’t do that.

I find it hard to believe a manager renowned as a players manager didn't get along with his players.

Well he obviously had his issues.

Who said they didn’t get along? Sounds like they were all sharing a glass of wine and getting sweet haircuts together before games.

i don't think maddon was laid back at all while he was the manager of the angels. i think it's pretty self evident that he was controlling and manipulative. his own words, actions, and his book where he confesses to it as much. one barely has to even read between the lines.

i remember nevin as a padre and he was hot headed. i'm sure he's mellowed a tad, but those personality types are way too direct to connive behind the scenes, they'd just rather call you an asshole and tell you fuck off.

[Revad]

Why not both?

[Make Angels Great Again]

If Nevin and Maddon are so different it makes you wonder how Nevin could keep from going nuts while working under Joe.

Time for @Erstad Grit to change his name to Rendon Grit.
