Joe Maddon fired!

[notin]

That’ll teach him to not transform mediocre starting pitching into star pitching while the front office spends the whole budget on offensive star power and fungible middle relievers…

I mean, they're 11th in starter fWAR. I'd say that's better than mediocre.

 

I hate Joe Maddon though. The worst.

Fun info. The Angles losing streak is now at 13 games. If you bet $100 that the Angels would lose on game 1 of the losing streak and kept betting the same for the next 12 losses, putting all your winnings back into the bet, you would now have around $170,000 after the 13th loss.

Would you let it all ride on loss # 14 tonight ? Or take your winnings and quit ? That is always the question in gambling. Knowing when to quit.

I would need to confer with my psychic who told me to bet on all 13 games and got it right, LOL. You make a good point, though: once my winnings got close to $100,000 I would be tempted to quit and maybe even sooner than that.

 

The Angels are playing the Mets after the Red Sox. I would really like to see this losing streak continue and maybe get close to 20 games. Losing streaks are kind of interesting to watch. If the Angels can keep losing, they might even get some prime time slots on TV, LOL.

One major rule to betting is to not vary how much you bet on a single bet, just because it's "house money."

As a great poet by the name of Kenneth Donald Rogers once said, "you got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, know when to run"

I can't stand Maddon. Maddon, Scioscia, Showalter - The Trifecta of dreadful managers.

 

I think it's rather funny that Maddon was critical of the Angels FO being too reliant on analytics.

Great song.
