Jered Weaver Coasts to Shutout in Seattle

Final Score in Seattle:
Mariners ZERO Angels FOUR
The 4,000th Angels win in franchise history took place in the city that saw the franchise's most heartbreaking road loss ever: Seattle. The ghosts of 1995 may have shattered along with the concrete of the old Kingdome, but it still feels good to give the Mariners what Mark Langston, J.T. Snow and Rex Hudler couldn't: A slice of shutout pie.
Jered Weaver shut out the M's on 5 hits, striking out 6 and walking only one. All of the Angels scoring that was necessary took place in the first inning when a Torii Hunter single scored Erick Aybar, who had led the game off with a double. three more runs crossed the plate in the first and then the goose eggs followed - not another run scored and the Angels offense actually looked like its recently wimpy self. Aybar left three runners on base and Peter Bourjos stranded four, but Hank Conger got the CERA crown. Even Russell Branyan got a lousy hit and a run batted in.
The Angels are now 4,000 - 4,039 after 69 games into their 51st season. Here is to 4,000 more Angels victories in your lifetime!

Jeffo must have been crushed he didn't get to catch Weaver tonight.
He must have used the wrong kind of cheese in Daddy’s lasgne last night.

Win.

The Mariners' announcers mentioned that Jeffy has a slight concussion from last night's game.
When the ball knocked his mask off. I haven’t been online much today so this was the first I’d heard of it.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
I thought it was funny when the Seattle announcers tried to compare all the zero innings
oops. except for that first one. regardless Seattle rarely scores four.
I'd like to DFA Reagins
I really need to buy MLB.tv

It was on tv here in Seattle,
and they actually let us have the HD, eventually. I don’t know what the problem was but when it was 4 past 7 we turned on the other channel. Checked it a couple of times, and finally in the bottom of the 1st the HD channel was running. So effin’ stupid, and the non-HD is ridiculously awful.
THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!
I think the real winner tonight is Hank Conger's CERA

Is ole Mikey trying to kill Weaver or something? They’re going to run this guy into the ground before long. He entered tonight #2 in BP’s “pitcher abuse points” standings and was averaging a career high 115 pitches before throwing 128 tonight. It’s the second time he has been left out to throw 128 in the past four starts — with 121 and 119 in the others.
Someone might want to tell the idiot in the dugout that the season is a marathon, not a sprint, and doesn’t end anytime soon. I guess ole Mikey figures the Angels don’t have Weaver locked up long term, so he figures he ought to ruin the guy’s arm before he can make big money.
My guess would be that Weave would have been pissed if Sosh took him out of the game
and didn’t allow him the CG shutout.
A wise man does not need advice and a fool won't take it.
Weaver
Should have been gone after 7 and 96 pitches. It was a 4-0 game. Let the bullpen get the last 6 outs, especially in light of Weaver’s excessive workload lately.
I don't trust our bullpen for 6 outs

it's not Weaver's team
The manager should realize the game is in hand and it’s in Weaver’s better interests not to get burned out before the all star break.
it actually is his game
CG shutouts don’t grow on trees.
If he had allowed some runs, then yeah…pull him but you don’t take something like this away from your ace.
What we've got here is a failure to communicate.

Weaver pitches a CG/SO and you're bitching about it?

Pitcher Abuse Points is not a gospel truth
Dude feels good he is a professional and says he feels good and goes out and does the job.
Does this comment count as a PAP smear?

I'm glad you don't run a team
You’d have a bunch of Joba Chamberlains running around. No thanks, let Weave throw.
~ these atoms are liars
the "100 pitch pull him out" rule is the stupidest 'rule' in baseball in my opinion.
if it is low stress, let him throw.

Yep
And it’s not like Weaver is throwing 96 or 97 MPH all night. He isn’t throwing incredibly hard, overpowering speeds.

but
He throws across his body and his delivery isn’t exactly low-effort.
Yeah, it's always that 129th pitch that leads to 90% of all strained buttock injuries.

Don't worry, the Mets will never get him so your concerns about his health are misplaced.

Yeah lets piss Jered off even more
to where even if he gets run support he still wants to leave.

Jered is a grown ass man.
Unlike you, a vagina with a keyboard.

Weave wanted to be out there
If he had given up a run in the ninth after Ichiro’s leadoff double, he probably would’ve been yanked. But even then Weave would’ve been pissed to get pulled.
I for one thought it was EXACTLY what Weave needed. “Gimme 4 runs in the 1st and I’ll take it from there.” It was beautiful.

this makes me wish that we had a closer with the last name Weaver
or Jered can just go CGSO every time.

Weave's been extremely healthy the last 3 years.
Not all pitchers are created equally. In 1968, Bob Gibson had that monster 1.12 ERA season. He threw 28 complete games that year, including an 11 inning performance in which he gave up 5 runs. The next year? 314 innings and a 164 ERA+. At the age of 38 he threw 240 innings. Weaver might just have a loose arm and as long as he’s throwing up zeros, leave him out there. Believe me, if his pitcher start to flatline or he looks tired, he’ll be taken out.
He travels fastest who travels alone.
Somehow, someway, we are only 3 1/2 out of first
Is it time for us to stop acting depressed and calling the season over?

Me too. I'm totally amped on two wins in a row ;-).
Offense still sucks if the pitcher is even some what on his game though. We’ll see how it shakes out.
by Darth Duane on Jun 14, 2011 10:12 PM PDT up reply actions
It's only because the AL West is meh
Right now, we are relying on the rest of our division to remain mediocre and simultaneously get hot ourselves instead of just being able to play our game and not worry about the other teams. That’s not where you want to be in early June.

Gawwwd
I tell you what, i don’t want to make the playoffs if it means I have to watch this team play somnomuball for an extra week while getting their asses handed to em buy some AL East team. The only way these guys win is by boring the other team to death. They need to wake up, or there’s not much point in being 3 1/2 out. They need to get some sap in their trunks, get some hits, and stop with the Fing double plays. “contention” or no, I think we can all see that, right now, this is a pathetic line up.

WIN!
In other MLB news, Yankee fans are classy! (Okay, and a little bit funny).
They dusted-off their ‘ol "Who’s your daddy" chant with a twist tonight. For Josh Hamilton the changed it to “Who’s your DEALER?”
"If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant's life, she will choose to save the infant's life without even considering if there are men on base." ~Dave Barry
I stopped selling to Josh months ago,
so my identity is safe.

That's a good one. Unlike BoSux fans, MFY fans can actually be tolerable sometimes.
If the Halos don't care about the way they play, then why should I?
Let's chant that a A-Rod next time they're here.

Listened to the top half of the 1st inning on the radio
I’m floored at the offense generated and then 17 zeros put up by both teams. Weaver = beast and that picture proves it. Don’t F with The Man right now. Enjoy the awesomeness
