Maddon would've made the playoffs. Sorry, but Nevin did a terrible terrible job and was in way over his head. 

But yes I get your point

And lets stop with the personal attacks. I mean honestly, you all don't agree. I am not some idiot or mentally deficient. I disagree with this move, I think Maddon was a much better manager, and I don't care that they had better health. Trout played more games under Maddon, sure, but Fletcher was mostly gone. Rendon wasn't lighting it up with the bat under Maddon anyway.
But the team was at one point, 27 and 17. Then he had a bit of a losing streak, which included 4 one runs games.
He's the second manager with front office ties and the second to have a below 74 win pace. 
I don't see the appeal, at all. They had time to do this, they didn't need to rush into it without knowing what else was out there.
 

Sorry, I am grumpy anyway, bad night sleep, then had dental work, and then this crap. 
 

"Pffft, had they just ignored the stats guys and checked out my mohawk, playoffs all the way" -- Joe Maddon after reading the Athletic article on Nevin.

One when he signed his mega deal.

How many managers has Trout played for?

I think Hubs might be "special".

He’s having a bad day. This is like when Chuck goes on a whiskey bender. 

@Hubs I’ve known you as person who is not insane.  I am sad that I need to reevaluate this understanding.  
 
very sad.  Much lunatic. 

No fucking way. None. Zero. You are too smart to hold this bad of an opinion.

Trey Mancini and Trea Turner in free agency

You honestly don't think the manager he plays for has anything to do with where he plays? Seriously?
Dollars first. Comfort and Stability second. This reeks of instability, and that will cost us Ohtani. 

This move cost us Ohtani. 
This will go down as the dumbest decision in recent Angels history.

They'll add a different assistant hitting and bullpen coach. Maybe replace Gallego. 
 

Agree to disagree.
