    Nice speech by Washington. Interesting how he mentioned Scioscia.

    Thank you for putting this together @totdprods. We saw a bunch of replies saying Chili Davis was terrible as a hitting coach and I looked briefly at his track record and saw nothing but success.

    With the A’s, Chili’s teams finished first twice and second once in three seasons, two times with arguably a Top 3 AL offense.
    Following that, he was with Boston, who finished 5th, 1st, and 1st. They scored the 4th most runs, most runs in AL, and 6th most in AL.
    On to the second place Cubs for a year, 4th most runs. Then the Mets, who finished 3rd and 4th (7th in runs both years) before being canned early in the ‘21 season when the team wasn’t scoring.
    Not sure how much you can really set results to a coach, but his track record was consistently pretty great up until New York.

    Ron is actually coaching on some very good teams and is beloved.
     
    I'll always love scioscia but the game might have passed him by.

    How fitting...
    15 years ago on Nov. 22, 2007 the Angels signed Torii Hunter
    Yesterday, on Nov. 22, 2022 the Angels traded for Hunter Renfroe

    This gives me Frank Vogel vibes. I'm not saying that Madden doesn't deserve some of the blame but this 12-game losing streak is mostly not his fault. Trout hitless slump, SP fail, the best guys in the bullpen being terrible and on and on.

    I was critical of him being 3B coach for leading league in runners thrown out at home, but to be fair managing is a different skill set.

    All I remember about Phil Nevin is that game where he started a bench-clearing brawl in 1998 or thereabouts.
