1) Vernon Wells, Josh Hamilton, Gary Matthews Jr...this is far from one of the worst moves...
2) Can you atleast admit the problem isn't NOT with Joe Maddon?
3) I don't recall any of us singing praise for Maddon for the hot start, in fact he got called out on this board daily for his head scratching schemes despite us winning.
You can even talk to Cubs fans when they won the series, they feel like yeah the Cubs won, but it was no thanks to Maddon. It was more like the Cubs having to battle and overcoming the stupid moves Maddon continuously stuck his finger in. And in our case, this club just wasn't made to overcome them.
I wanted Maddon to be good, I want the Angels to win, but a 12 game losing streak eh...never knowing what Maddon was going to do or why...it's frustrating to watch.
