And maybe it’s not his fault but it’s clear he’s not helping either and after 6 years the guys might need a fresh voice and perspective.

It seems that this downhill spiral they’re currently on really took off once Iannetta came back from the DL. The Angels pitching staff was not great prior to his DL stint either. In between they were living up to the pre-season hype as the best starting pitching staff in the AL. Perhaps this is a coincidence – you tell me.
