I was surprised when the news came down this week that Mike Scioscia & Jerry Dipoto would both be keeping their jobs. I literally want Scioscia to die in an Angels uniform, so at least that is comforting to see. He does have 5 years left on his deal, so that may have been a larger factor than people think. On the other hand, Dipoto now has a stay of execution until the Angels are ruled out next year due to terrible pitching. The Angels also announced that hitting coach Jim Eppard & bench coach Rob Picciolo have been let go. There is some real irony to firing the coaches least responsible for the season's woes. Mike Butcher better be looking over his shoulder if he can't get a starter other than Weaver into the 6th inning. I heard the Dodgers are going to overpay for David Price from the Rays. Maybe it's time for the Halos to grab a 2nd ace instead of allowing the Dodgers to add a 3rd.
