The moveable object meets the resistable force

Both starters like to throw too many pitches, and neither offense likes to walk.

3 up, 3 down. The randomness of Weaver’s control comin’ up.

Now THERE is a stat that would interest me.

Average number of pitches thrown per inning. I wonder if high pitch counts in the initial inning are really a big deal. I see that high count a lot, but it seems to even out later on.

by Stirrups on Jun 28, 2008 7:32 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah, but

Weaver isn’t throwing first pitch strikes to ANYBODY. He also has sub-90 MPH velocity on his fastball. Combine the two and the Angels offense better have a REALLY good night.

Easy. Escobar to the pen until a starter falters.

Your premise is that Weave will be the first starter to fail.

by Stirrups on Jun 28, 2008 7:40 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Garland goes to the pen, or Weaver goes back down

I’m pretty sure that the Angels aren’t impressed with his apparent regression.

No thanks

It’s ridiculous. Escobar will relieve, until & unless someone gets hurt. No matter how much you dislike Jered Weaver.

by mattwelch on Jun 28, 2008 7:46 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I dislike Jered Weaver

But I still think there are a lot of teams out there that would love to have him. Why have Escobar relieve if he is capable of starting? ... In my view, depending on when Escobar comes back, Weaver might be trade bait. Same with Garland.

Don't call me Desmond

by highlandhalo on Jun 28, 2008 7:48 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

"Trade bait"

Is a term that dates back to the Bill Bavasi era. Does not apply to this team, particularly considering the suckitude of Dustin Mosely.

by mattwelch on Jun 28, 2008 7:49 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Fair enough point, Matt

And I agree with you that historically since the Bavasi days we have not made trades at the deadline. The excuse of Bavasi/Stoneman has always been: “We’ll do something if it improves our team without harming the existing fabric of our team.” Reagins is cut from the same cloth.

However … we’ve never been in a position before the deadline when we’ve had a stud like Escobar coming back like this.

If you can explain to me how Escobar taking Weaver’s spot in the rotation, and then shipping Weaver off to another team in exchange for someone who can help us in another area on the club, hurts the existing fabric of our team, I’m all ears.

Mind you, Weaver’s pitching a decent game right now.

Don't call me Desmond

by highlandhalo on Jun 28, 2008 8:01 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

And regardless of how much I dislike him

I hope he can at least get a bunt down.

by highlandhalo on Jun 28, 2008 7:49 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

The hell?

How much I dislike Weaver doesn’t enter into it. The Angels have already shown they’ll send youngsters failing to Get It down (i.e. Santana) if better alternatives exist.

by scareduck on Jun 28, 2008 7:53 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

"enter into it" = you are the only human who thinks it's a possibility

Santana was utterly lost last year. Weaver has been inconsistent. Big difference.

by mattwelch on Jun 28, 2008 7:56 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I will grant you this

He will have to get a lot suckier first. I don’t think it’s a likelihood, at least, not so far.

by scareduck on Jun 28, 2008 7:57 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I honestly don't know what they would do

If Kelvim is capable of starting surely he needs to go into the rotation? Somebody’s gonna get their ass sent down or DFA’ed if his comeback continues at this pace.

Can you pinch-hit for a guy who is throwing a no-hitter?

If Wheels hits one far enough

he won’t even have to show off his blazing speed.

Great.

Just what we need. The slowest runner on the team on first, with HK and our blind catcher and our no-no throwing pitcher coming up.

how? Hatcher has him convinced pulling the ball is for losers.

All I see him do is hit it to RF recently. Lots of singles and doubles but he’ll never hit his projected 20 homers a year with the approach of late

come on..

11 homers in 42 games is good.
we all know that w/o the platoon, he’d be hitting better and with more power.

given 70+ starts, he’d probably be close to 20.

give the guy a break.

Dude. Come on. He averages 1 HR for every 17 AB's.

Even if you gave him ALL of Mathis’ AB’s this year he would just be at 15 HR’s.

stop making sense

Napoli has hit righties this year almost 200 OPS points better than Sarge Jr. And if this game went extras they did just lose a ph.

Weaver just stormed off down the tunnel like a big pussy

If he had picked up that ground ball he wouldn’t be coming out of the game. I’m sick of the Weavers. Get rid of this guy.

I run in 6 innings is not why the Angels are losing this game.

You want to blame someone, blame just about anyone on the offensive side.

Yeah, he sucks, send him to AAA

Maybe down there he won’t give up so many HITS.

Look Matt, I'm not talking about his pitching ability

although Jered is the worst of our 5 starters right now. If Escobar comes back and is capable of starting, it’s clear to me whose job is on the line.

What I’m talking about is his bitch-like reaction to getting pulled. See how he likes it in the bullpen if you don’t want to trade him.

You know, we could get a good player who could help our offense in a trade for Weaver.

What bugs me about Weaver

1) Throws too many pitches, and not enough first-pitch strikes.
2) Seems to regress a little every year.
3) Too damn emotional whenever anything goes wrong.
4) Weirdly can’t field his position. That’s the second crucial error Weaver has made this year.

Concur.

And he knows that he could have had the same offensive result if left in…

by Stirrups on Jun 28, 2008 9:26 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Fair enough

but the error that led to the game’s only run being scored was Jered’s own error on an easily fielded squibber. He also made no attempt to hold the baserunner on, which is why Kemp took off like a bat out of hell and Mathis airmailed it into center field.

I don’t blame him for being pissed off. He should be. But for once he should be pointing the finger at himself instead of his teammates for a) making errors behind him or b) not giving him enough offensive support.

Lots of guys throw no-hitters through six innings. Very few of them end up with no-hitters.

Tough shit, Jered.

Yeah... Matt,

Now you understand why I don’t participate in game threads often anymore. Even if people can make the insane logic that Weaver didn’t get it done tonight because of the one misplayed ball, they’re ignoring that he’d still have gotten out of it if not for Mathis’ awful throw. Mathis would get blame of the game, no way you can give it to Weaver.

Willits needs to play, every, single, freaking, day. Now.

How'd you feel if you didn't give up a hit but lost

because your teammates flail away at everything as soon as there is anything resembling a rally, and your catcher overthrows 2nd base half the time he throws.

Weaver let the only guy who scored get on base

By botching a routine play on a dribbler between the mound and first that 99 percent of little leaguers would make the play on.

Weaver’s offense had nothing to do with that base runner.

Wow, have you ever pitched a game even at say the HS level?

That was not a routine play. I’ve seen a ton of baseball and I can’t ever recall a ball moving that much, it started out going right down the 3rd baseline and wound up going towards SS.

If it was so routine don’t you think the Dodgers scorer would have given them a hit?

by MH252525 on Jun 28, 2008 9:17 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

meant

the ball started off going towards the 1B line

by MH252525 on Jun 28, 2008 9:18 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I played college baseball

That was a routine play. All Weaver had to do was pick up the ball and shovel it in the general vicinity of his GG 1B Kotchman. That’s why the official scorekeeper ruled it an error. Also, Weaver made no attempt to hold Kemp on first base, which is why he got such a great jump stealing second and Mathis airmailed it into center field.

Both routine plays if you ask me.

i think it's a little misleading to say the offense isn't relevant here

if the angels offense isn’t dead today and the angels are up 3-1 or 4-1, i don’t think weaver gets pinch hit for

by ZiK on Jun 28, 2008 9:19 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

If Weaver makes his own play on that squibber

he doesn’t get pinch-hit for! ... If he gets the bunt down in the 3rd he doesn’t get pinch-hit for … la la la la la la
