Maddux Fired as Angels Jettison Pitching Coaches The Los Angeles Angels' decision to fire pitching coaches Mike Maddux, Darryl Scott, and Dom Chiti might seem like just another instance of teams making mid season changes in search of a quick fix.

The Angels' pitching staff has been underperforming this season, with a 4. 51 ERA that ranks seventh worst in the majors.
