The Los Angeles Angels are one of the worst teams in baseball.
By record (26-41), the Angels are better than just five squads in the whole league.
If this were an isolated event, fans wouldn’t be so worried.
However, the team hasn’t made the postseason since 2014.
Since that year, they have had some star-level players, including the Mike Trout – Shohei Ohtani pairing from 2018 to 2023.
The organization is flawed from top to bottom and it has been proven time and time again.
After their mediocre play this season, manager Ron Washington said that there was a team meeting on Wednesday to clear up some stuff related to the squad.
“Angels manager Ron Washington said they held a team meeting today to go over things they’ve been seeing recently and to bring some accountability. He said four players spoke and he also gave a brief speech,” team insider Rhett Bollinger tweeted.
Accountability is a must in every aspect of life, not just professional sports.
In that sense, the exercise should start at the top, from the ownership to the front office, to the coaching staff and then the players.
However, since there is a lack of accountability at the top, there haven’t been any advances for almost a decade.
Players hold part of the blame, yes, because they are the ones on the field.
There are people who put them there, though.
They also have to own up to their failures and come up with better strategies to show improvement.
So far, the Angels look like non-contenders and nobody knows when they will be really competitive again.
