Jered Weaver, Angels Alone in First Place

PrintOn a day that saw Major League Baseball take over the Los Angeles National League franchise, the oldest baseball team actually born in Los Angeles took over sole possession of first place in their division.
Jered Weaver tossed a complete game in Arlington, striking out 8 Rangers and allowing only one cheap run. He had some great defense behind him as CF Peter Bourjos made highlight reel grabs of fly balls that put him squarely in the legion of Gary Pettis, Devon White, Darin Erstad, Torii Hunter and Jim Edmonds as the greatest Centerfielders in franchise history. In a season that sees the Halos celebrating their first fifty seasons, a few Angels are barging in on the Memory Lane party and creating some history right now.
Weaver went to 5-0 on the 2011 season with Wednesday night's 119-pitch gem. Statistically speaking, Wins don't mean anything, of course. Except when the standings are involved. It may only be April, but the pitching and defense of the Angels are shaping up as patient arbiters of waiting for Vernon Wells to hit his next homerun. The Rangers, meanwhile, looked like the classic unbalanced team that struggles when its one strong spoke snaps. Josh Hamilton is at least five and a half weeks away from returning to the big club, which just got a little smaller tonight.

We rode into Texas and stopped their unbeaten streak at home.

Yeah, welcome back
I have enjoyed reading your comments and the debate they frequently sponsor, your ability to take a hit and keep on coming, and your optimism over Vernon Wells. I’m sure you got crazy when he put one out yesterday.
LOL...yeah
I thought it would be anti-climactic but I was happy for him…i think he may have turned it on. Hop he gets it going…
Yeah that went too far…i enjoy the intellectual sparring. Tactics used when outnumbered in a debate look really bad when written. It’s supposed to fend off/reduce the numbers, not incite lol. My bad for sure… I’ve moved on :)

That's not the way to look at the history.
MLB started this season earlier in the calendar in order to avoid November baseball. The better way to appreciate this is to compare in terms of calendar days into the season.
For example, Denny McClain slotted his 5th win on the 31st calendar day of the 1968 season (the year he collected 31). Weaver just picked up his 5th on only the 21st!!!

That is so sick
He’s pitching like a monster. Having Haren on the team has definitely created a healthy competition to push each other. Great to see Weave getting run support this year too. I’m psyched about this.
Awesome Dude!
That is the perfect way to quantify Weave’s start to the season!
I’m pretty sure McClain was in a 4 man rotation, but, hey, what the hell!
Right now we can feel good and Weave will be the ASG SP if the season ended today!

And credit where credit is due… he is good at bunting. It’s the only thing he really seems to be good at, but he is nonetheless.

Yea, Wow...
They are really bitching about the strike zone.
To me, their pitcher wasn’t crisp right from the start – he started out behind a lot of hitters (in fact I think we should have had more runs) – still, he had a no hitter going in, what, the 4th inning…
What are they complaining about? Weaver was just locating better.

They're blaming it on the ump which was biased towards us I guess.

Don't overlook that ump. His calls totally blew.
But, tough shit. It’s about time this decade we got an ump in our favor.

Yeah for sure.
I can’t remember the last time we had a damn ump in our favor. Usually the other way around, especially in the playoffs.

Maybe
Torrealba crowed the plate and didn’t give the ump a good view of the zone. While CERA2011 gave the ump all the looks in the world to make the calls. Soth might know something about inexperienced umpires.
Maybe, just …
Interesting
So that’s what they mean when they say “framing pitches”

If the ump's calls were in our favor, great - so be it
From just a fan’s perspective – their pitcher was not locating well – I think he deserved all his 2-0 counts.
Weaver fell behind several batters as well, but he did what it took to get out of those jams… Their pitcher did not do so well.
End of story.
by Halo Hurricane on Apr 21, 2011 12:21 AM PDT up reply actions
It was like a 5 pitch difference
Really, they had a little graphic and everything.
The ump called something like 9 of their strikes, balls (he called like 3-4 for us).
Not that big of a deal IMO.

I read that Moreland stopped at 2nd when he could have went to third on a single.
Why you ask? Because of Bourjos. Players on the bases aren’t going to run until they see the ball hit the ground. They are going to hold back because they know his range already.
And that’s where his value really shines. He’s going to save us a lot of runs and keep people from going to 2nd and 3rd as much as they did on us last season.
Can’t say enough about that kid.

I think his patience has just worn out.
Last year was a shambles. Scioscia is known for his loyalty to his veterans. He gave them an entire season to get it together. Those who did are still around, those who didn’t….well, turns out the Angels had a little better farm system than the rest of the MLB realized, now, doesn’t it?? In typical Angels fashion, cards were held close to the chest and the kids have been unveiled. THIS is how a perennial contender “rebuilds”. They don’t have a fire sale like a small market team with no resources. The build to win every year.
right on!

I’m thinking it will be/must be Piniero.
