Former LA Angels Manager Joe Maddon Got Mohawk Haircut ‘To Try to Awaken His Team’ From Losing Streak, Only to Get Fired on Same Day

Joe Maddon is now a history for the LA Angels. The veteran manager tried everything to end the historic losing streak of the Angels. But after failing to do so, the Angels fired their manager in the last week. If reports are true, Maddon also changed his haircut to surprise his players and end the losing streak.

Notably, the LA Angels created a new franchise record for the losing streak in a season. They lost 14 games in a row. When the regular season started, the Angels got a fine start to their 2022 campaign. It was all going well for the Angels until the last week of May.

After winning a series against the Oakland Athletics, the Angels played a mini-series against the Texas Rangers. And That is where the downfall of the Angels started. They lost four consecutive series against the Yankees, Blue Jays, Phillies, and Red Sox in their historic losing streak.

Joe Maddon got a mohawk haircut to get the team going?

Only Joe Maddon can pull such stuff to avoid the losing streak of his side. Per Yahoo.com, when the Angels had lost 12 games, Maddon pulled a classic stunt and got a mohawk haircut to surprise his players. But little did he know that no one would notice his haircut. 

The Angels lost the game to the Boston Red Sox in a close encounter (6-5) and created a new franchise record for the losing streak. After the game, the Angels’ management fired Maddon from his position. And Maddon’s effort to get a mohawk haircut went in vain.

Taking to Twitter, Jomboy Media shared a short clip in which a commentator is telling that no one saw his haircut. “After consecutive loss number 12, Maddon got a mohawk haircut to try to awaken his team. But the players never saw it. He was fired,” the commentator said.

What went wrong with the Angels?

Individuals can never win a tournament, no matter how good they are. The main problem for the Angels is that they rely too much on their marquee players, Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani. It was all fine when they were having good games. They went out of form for a couple of weeks, and the Angels suffered their worst losing streak.

With due respect to Ohtani and trout, the Angels need to have at least 2 to 3 more good players if they want to win something this season. With 29 defeats out of 62 games, the Angels are third on the AL West standings.
