Angels pulled off the IMPOSSIBLE 😱 Mike Maddux: Pitching Coach! #RepTheHalo #GoHalos #Angels #LTBU
John, I would love your initial reaction to the hiring of Mike Maddox. I’m shocked to be honest with you because, and for those who might not know, he’s probably one of one when it comes to pitching coaches in Major League Baseball. He’s got the experience. He’s got the track record. Like, guys, this is a really good get for the Angels. And that’s my reaction, Mike, is how in the world did they pull this off other than giving him a good payday, wrestling him away from the Rangers because apparently they offered him uh a deal to stay in Texas with Skip Schumacher, who’s going to be their new manager, but he decided to go to the Angels instead. We’ll talk about that in a sec. However, I I’m shocked and because you and I had discussed previously on the show like what coaches are going to want to be here when the manager and general manager are on a one-year timeline. So, really, they’re making us eat some humble pie. And I am more than willing, give me a second helping of humble pie, Mike, because this is crazy. But when it comes down to it, you want a good pitching coach. Mike Maddox is a fantastic pitching coach. We talk about a lot how we just wish the right people could get their hands into the clay that is this angel’s roster and unlock their potential and what they can be. You know, Reed Deetmer’s Jose Soraniano, Kaden Dana, maybe like if those guys don’t improve then it’s not on the coaching. It’s it’s the talent, right? If they can’t unlock what’s good about the young starters with Mike Maddox, then there’s an issue.

Halos Nation! HOO-RAH 💪💪💪
Good start? Do you know when they're going to introduce him?
No. The impossible would see Arte Moreno sell the team.
That’s nice. Coaches can only do so much, though. Let’s see what he can cook up with sub par ingredients.
He took the job because he know the Manager is on a one year deal . So he'll probably be the next one up after they fire Kurt
no way he’s a pitching coach got me excited now that’s where our team is always garbage 😂
Who's maddux goin to coach? Our pitching is trash
