joe maddon fired after 56 games for LAA - 2 games under .500

31 games later - 11 games under .500

joe maddon might not have been the problem.

CRUNCH: Joe Maddon's strength is shepherding a young, talented, hungry team on the come that thinks a petting zoo, magicians, and onesies road trips are cool from point "B" to the promised land. That definitely does not describe the 2022 Angels.

...but...he got a mohawk before he was fired.

i'm pretty sure that's good for a few wins.  i dunno mohawks to penguins conversion rates in this new economy, though.

Hendricks shut down at least 2-3 weeks. I guess it's less likely he's traded.
