This is baseball tonight, the podcast.

This is the baseball tonight podcast for Wednesday, June, 2022.

And today will be better than yesterday, producing today's Sarah Abbott, Sarah Warrior.

I am in Bristol and control room E, just like usual.

Very nice, Taylor Schwink.

Where are you?

I'm in my home studio in the Flithills of Connecticut.

Thanks for asking.

Very nice, unbuster only, working from my home in New York.

So yesterday was a crazy day for the Angels, who fired manager Joe Madden, age 68, someone

who is going to get consideration for baseball's Hall of Fame, with the team in the midst

of a 12-game losing streak.

Here is Perry Manassian explaining the decision.

Got something that I thought was going to happen three weeks ago, but it felt like it

was the best interest of the club going forward to make a change at the managerial position.

And I love Joe Madden.

I love the person.

I love the conversations.

Not with him this morning, it was really tough.

But my job in this position is to do what's best for the organization day in and day out.

And I don't take that lightly.

I wake up thinking about it.
