Since 2002 the Angels have not made it back to the Fall Classic, and have only made it to the ALCS twice in 15 seasons under Mike Scioscia. The Angels did have an impressive run winning the AL West in five out of six seasons from 2004 to 2009 which kept many fans happy.
However since 2009 the Angels have only made the playoffs once (a 2014 three-game sweep at the hands of the Royals.) and have had three seasons, 2010, 2013, and this season where they finished under .500 and well out of the race. In recent years including this year fans have wanted Mike Scioscia’s head on a silver platter.
