Jared Weaver kicking ass again.

[Fabbs]

Taking names and leading in quality starts again. ERA too.
10-4 and if the Angels didn't suck he'd easily be 12-2 at least.

Who's the starting pitcher for the AL?

[log in/log out goods]

tbh Fabbs has really owned the ST community with this genius thread.

next thing you know, he's gonna tell us that CC Sabathia wouldn't be as good if he wasn't with the Yankees and that Felix Hernandez would have a better record if he was with a better team

[Fabbs]

I sniff moderator ass.

[Fabbs]

Since you last stalked me.....

0 runs in 7 innings today. Won 1-0. Angel run came on an error. What often happens to Weaver happened to Tex pitcher.

2 earned in 6.2, 4-2 win.
1 earned in 9 innings in 5-1 win.

13-4 record 1.81 era.

Sniff it.

[Axe Murderer]

wow it looks like Jered Weaver might be a good pitcher after all

good work Fabbs

Solid outing by Weaver again, but Verlander was simply better.
Figured it would come down to a mistake or two.
Walking the leadoff was Weavers. Got the next two outs, but then tried to pitch to Ordonez with man on base instead of potentially pitching around.

Props to Verlander for getting the final out with 101 mph heat after Angel threatened.

Kind of hope showboating Tigers get to face Angels again in playoffs.

I forgot to mention how Weaver got butthurt and quit like a little bitch after giving up a home run!

[JamStone]

Solid outing by Weaver again, but Verlander was simply better.
Figured it would come down to a mistake or two.
Walking the leadoff was Weavers. Got the next two outs, but then tried to pitch to Ordonez with man on base instead of potentially pitching around.

Props to Verlander for getting the final out with 101 mph heat after Angel threatened.

Kind of hope showboating Tigers get to face Angels again in playoffs.

Pitch around Ordonez to pitch to Miguel Cabrera? Ummm ok.

Just a little background on what happened today. Maggs hit that homerun and stayed in the batter's box to see if the ball would go foul or stay fair. Weaver took exception. The next Ordonez AB, Ordonez hit a routine flyout and when he ran back to the dugout, Weaver chirped at him and called "motherfucker." I didn't see it, but on one of the boards I post on had a few people who said they read Weaver's lips say that, so take that with a grain of salt. So, on to Guillen's homerun, Guillen posed, flipped his bat, and stared at Weaver. It was definitely intentionally showing up Weaver. It's also probably a result of Guillen standing up for Maggs. I don't agree with it because the homerun was payback enough. But what happens needs to be put in context.

Guillen was wrong and bush league even if he was getting Maggs' back, but I think Weaver totally had a misunderstanding of what happened with Ordonez and overreacted, and that's what led to what Guillen did.

[Fabbs]

Pitch around Ordonez to pitch to Miguel Cabrera? Ummm ok.
What i meant is by leadoff walking D. Kelly (then getting two outs), Weaver set himself up to try too hard to get Maggs out so as not to put Maggs on base and have to face Ordonez with not one but two men on. I think all the foul balls Kelly did left Weaver wanting to just get out of there by the time Maggs came up thus he 1st pitch served him.
Props to Maggs for the rock irregardless.

Leadoff walks are often assbiters, esp in a close game pitchers duel and this was a prime example.

I heard what you say about the account and for the record i think pitchers being allowed to hit batters is purely spineless old man purist fertilizer that needs to have been retired since it was 1st allowed in 1880 whatever.

[Axe Murderer]

the Angels have to be the most butthurt team in baseball. i remember last season they all got asshurt when the Rangers pulled their starters the last game of the season to a standing ovation.

now Weaver intentionally gets himself kicked out of a game because :cry the Tigers were meanie heads :cry

[TheMACHINE]

Jams...what do you think about Aybar's bunt? Douchemove for a douchemove? lol

[ChuckD]

Jams...what do you think about Aybar's bunt? Douchemove for a douchemove? lol

Yeah, if you're going to bitch about showing up the pitcher, bunting in the late innings of an active no-no is considered equally bad form.

[Fabbs]

Shouldn't bunt during a no hitter? :lmao

I know Chuck D this isn't your rule, just some *unwritten* MLB bullstink.

Again, what ancient tobacco chewing geezer said that is the way it must be?
And what clones followed like sheep? Okay to hurl a baseball at a batter and in some cases ruin or alter career (see the freakin stats for young Tony Conigliaro, also altho it did not end his career, see Roger Steroids Lemmons beaning Mike Piazza), but you can't bunt during a no no. :rolleyes

That ancient crap needs to be shoved up the arse of the ones who made it up and then condoned it.

[JamStone]

Jams...what do you think about Aybar's bunt? Douchemove for a douchemove? lol

Zero problem with it. Game was close enough and Aybar can and does bunt for base hits. He has the speed for it. In certain circumstances, I can see how it would be viewed differently. If it was a 10-0 game and it was someone like Trumbo bunting, then there are arguments for it being inappropriate. But under these circumstances, no problem with it at all.

Verlander called it bush league in his post game comments, but he also admitted that he understood the argument for the other side and that it was a close game. I think when you're the pitcher throwing the no-hitter, you take exception to it a little more than most. And I think it's understandable why he might be upset about it. For me, as a fan? Zero problem with the bunt.

[TheMACHINE]

I think verlander also admitted that he was strictly seeing it in a pitchers pov.

[Fabbs]

0 runs allowed in 9 innings.

Angels win in 10th.

Completely sick of Socias handling of Weaver.
Yet another game where he has to pitch a 9 inning shutout to maybe win, down 3-1 in the 5th of what is obviously going to be another nuttless Angels batting performance.

Double, walk, walk. Gee Socia, ya think Weaver just doesn't have it today?
Leaves him in for two more homers. Yeah, lets throw this game while shooting Weavers era to crap.

wow...a Boras client skipping FA. crazy.
Ya. Intelligent MLB viewers know as good as Weavers stats are they could be much better sans Sciosa/average Angels teams. No doubt Weaver would have sprung a bidding war between the usuals (Skunkies and BoSox) as well as the newbie big spender Phillies and other annual contenders (Braves).

I'm surmising Weaver likes living in SoCal fulltime and said take the bird in hand cashe.

[Fabbs]

7 innings 0 runs allowed.
For the 17th time this season Weaves has allowed 1 earned run or less. (Hurled shutout ball 7Xs.) :toast
Most def tied with Verlander for quality starts.
Would be wayy ahead in era if Sciosa hadn't numb nutted his suspension-upset start

How cool were Weavers comments as to why he ordered BoreAss to settle?

[ducks]

so does he pitch on 3 days rest against texas

[TheMACHINE]

i dunno...i think they should just keep the normal rotaion of Haren, Williams, Santana

[TheMACHINE]

cuz if he picthes 3 days, then santana has to pitch 3 days too

[Fabbs]

i dunno...i think they should just keep the normal rotaion of Haren, Williams, Santana
Yes, i agree and i hope MultiSciosa doesn't jack with the rotation.
Machine do you realize not just Weaver but Haren and Santana have also kicked ass in the quality starts stat dept? (4th and 10th).

Get a bat or two going (or have acquired) and the Angels could have titled again.

[ducks]

I think you do it now that way the pitchers know if they can do it in the postseason

they need weaver to pitch 2 times in each series

[TheMACHINE]

ducks got a point...if they can do it now..then maybe we can do it IF we make it in october ala CC Sabathia.

[Flintstones32]

Weaver had no business going on 3 days rest as was proven tonight.

I think it goes without saying that the Cy Young is now JV's.

[Fabbs]

In 100+ degree heat.
Not to mention did you see where after he went 6 complete innings and the Angels led 5-4, asstard Sciosa leaves him in for the 7th.

*&^%$ i hate his managing.

Didn't seem to bother Ervin Santana. Why wouldn't you think your team's ace could handle it either?

To me it wasn't about the 3 days rest as much as it was the heat and Weaver's tendency to get frustrated when things don't go his way. His stuff looked fine. Didn't seem like fatigue or arm trouble were issues. Looked more like a mental thing tonight.

That is a possibility of course but tonight was uncharacteristic of Weaver. As Fabs mentioned he wasn't actually too bad until he had to come back out for the 7th inning. I think that is when the fatigue set in for him

And I live in Flint, MI. He is not my team's Ace. Verlander is. :toast

Even if you don't think it was a bad decision to pitch him on 3 days rest you have to think bringing him back for the 7th inning was.

Of course hindsight and all...

[TheMACHINE]

after the double play saved him in the 6th, he should have never come out on the 7th.

Weaver only given up two hits and one run thru 6 vs NY Skunkies.

weaver can he get 20 wins like ian?

[Axe Murderer]

How can Fabbs dog Scioscia so much and not look at the FO instead?

Scioscia played the hand he was dealt (a shitty one at that) and could only do so much against a Rangers team that was on another level talentwise. Outside of 3 good starters that team was shit and especially with that payroll. Vernon Wells getting that kind of deal is inexcusable

[Spursfan092120]

lol losing your team the division and probably the playoffs.

[Fabbs]

8.1 innings pitched, two earned allowed.

Of course that is not gonna cut it with ScosiaAngels.
Loss.
18-8

[ducks]

ian 5 pitcher ever to win atleast 20 games and losing only 4
one lose he pitched 3 innings due to rain delay
he gave up a two run homerun hitting the damm foul pole!
