The second-longest losing streak in franchise history was met with a change to the status quo pregame routines on Monday.
ANAHEIM ― Mike Trout was at Angel Stadium early Monday, taking hacks against live pitching during the noon hour with Jo Adell and Brandon Marsh.
When the Angels resumed their home-field routine Monday, the status quo was not in effect. Their East Coast road trip ended Sunday with an 11-game losing streak on the line. The team had averaged 3.18 runs per game during the skid – the second-longest in franchise history. “One year were 18 games under .500 and we ended up 60-60” – actually 61-61 – “which is still one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. … Things like this can change on a dime,” Maddon said. “If you give up mentally it can’t happen, and that’s the message.”Recently, three blown-up photo posters were hung along the hallway wall. Two depict celebratory shots following walk-off victories over the Miami Marlins and Washington Nationals in April and May, respectively.
“Most of the time when it comes to working with the hitters, I give my message to Jeremy , Paulie or John ,” Maddon said. “I asked permission for this. I said, I want to go out there, what do you think about it? They said, ‘please do.’
