Yes! The Angels used a unique strategy to get their players back in their beast mode. With every player coming into the ballpark, the Angels welcomed them with a Nickelback song. They used different Nickelback songs for all their players. Despite that, they could not avoid a record 14th consecutive defeat in the current season.

Apart from the first couple of months, the Angels have rarely challenged their opponents. As things stand, they might not make it to the playoffs. Because after the ongoing series against the Red Sox, they have to face the two of the strongest teams in the National League; the New York Mets and the LA Dodgers.

“I can report that every Angels player will walk up to Nickelback tonight. The coaches decided it as a way to shake things up. So, if the Angels snap their losing streak tonight, you can thank Nickelback,” Alden Gonzalez tweeted.

What is wrong with the Angels?

Their too much dependency on Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout has failed big time for the LA Angels. Because, even if Ohtani is a two-way player, he can not play at his best in every game. The same goes with Mike Trout. Probably that was the main reason the Angels sacked Joe Maddon.
