To say the Joe Maddon era has not gotten off on the right foot for the Los Angeles Angels would be a drastic understatement.
With a record of 4-8 to start the 2020 season, it’s easy to see the level of despair that is presently setting in amongst Angels fans. The 60-game schedule creates a sense of urgency and perfection, two things that have seemingly been missing since the first pitch was thrown on July 24th.
While the Angels sit just four games out of first place and 2.5 games out of a guaranteed playoff spot, those gaps fill rather cavernous when considering the shortened schedule.
