The October 9, 2015 edition of Los Angeles Angels news includes Scott Servais potentially joining Jerry Dipoto in Seattle, Vin Scully going under the knife, and more…
The Story: Scott Servais headed to the Mariners front office?
MWAH Says: Still just speculation at this point, but with Jerry Dipoto reportedly cleaning house over in Seattle it looks like Scott Servais and others might be departing Anaheim soon. Rumor has it that Servais, the guy who famously doesn’t get along with Mike Scioscia, will likely take over the farm director position from Chris Gwynn, who resigned Thursday.

MWAH Says: Not surprisingly, it’s like 90% Mike Trout. Not sure whether it being only six minutes long is an indictment of the Angels’ season or the effort of whoever made the video. Noticeably lacking in any Kole Calhoun catches.
The Story: T.J. Simers is suing the LA Times
MWAH Says: Apparently this has been going on for a while. Simers filed a wrongful termination suit against the LA Times back in 2013 for the way they handled him after his mini-stroke.

The Times, on the other hand, say Simers was fired because his grammar sucked and his arguments were illogical, which…
The Story: Examining The 2015 Strike Zone
MWAH Says: Jon Roegele dives in for his (2nd?) annual dissection of MLB’s ever-changing strike zone. Last year he found that the zone was dropping to historic lows. This year the zone seems to have leveled off, though it continues to increase in size for right-handed batters.
