Joe Maddon was fired 12 games into a 14-game losing streak by the Angels. Making him the fall guy for the Angels’ collapse is absurd after expecting him to sustain success with an inconsistent and modestly gifted pitching staff. But firing Joe Maddon and naming "Duck" the manager is nothing more than "rearranging deck chairs on The Titanic." When they hired Maddon, I came back on board because I knew if there was a way, he would find it. Baseball teams need chemistry to succeed.
