Jered Weaver To Pitch For 66ers Thursday

[AngelsWin.com]

San Bernardino, CA- Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jered Weaver is scheduled to appear at San Manuel Stadium on Thursday, July 30th as part of a Major League injury-rehabilitation assignment. The Angels ace will start for the Inland Empire 66ers as they host the Bakersfield Blaze, California League affiliate of the Seattle Mariners.

Weaver, the Angels 2004 first-round pick (12th overall) out Long Beach State, has been sidelined since late-June with inflammation in his left hip. The three-time American League All-Star has amassed a career record of 135-77 with a 3.36 ERA and 1,454 strikeouts. In 2015, the righty has a 4-8 mark with a 4.75 ERA. Last season, the Northridge, CA native led the league in games started (34) and wins (18) and eclipsed the 210.0 IP plateau for the fourth time in his nine seasons of major league service time. Weaver was a 20-game winner in 2012 and led the league with 233 strikeouts in 2010.

“We are thrilled for our fans that they will get to witness an elite, long-time Angel veteran work here at San Manuel Stadium,” Inland Empire 66ers General Manager Joe Hudson said. “This is an exciting part of minor league baseball and we couldn’t be happier that the Angels are sending one of the best players to ever wear a Halo uniform to the Inland Empire.”

Tickets for Jered Weaver’s start are available for advance purchase at 66ers.com (You can proceed to the tickets page by clicking here)or in person at the San Manuel Stadium box office. Groups of 20-or-more fans should call the 66ers front office at (909) 888-9922. The evening’s promotion is “Thirsty Thursday” with discounts on Hangar 24 pints as well as other domestic beers and soda.

I hope his velocity is back up to touching 89 and sitting at 86-88.

Okay folks, here's a chance to go see Weaver pitch, possibly get an autograph from Newcomb, and enjoy some good food and beer. There's no Angels home game, so, it's time to make the trip out there.

 

I am up in Orem, so I can't go check it out. But, we should get an AngelsWin.com presence out there to give a good scouting report. The best seats in the house are only $12, so who's going to go?

[SlappyUtilityMIF]

Get there Early!!!!

[laagamer]

I might consider making a trip over there. It's just a shot down the 10 FWY for me. 

 

Anyone else? 

[SlappyUtilityMIF]

I'd watch from the parking lot! Better chance for souvenirs...

[SlappyUtilityMIF]

Laagamer is right! The 210 FWY could be a good spot as well....

Newcomb's signature is terrible.

They should make him stay with the 66ers & rehab the rest of the season.

Going to be so pissed if they demote Heaney.

[Blarg]

The warm outpouring of support is amazing.

[nando714]

I'm surprised he agreed to make a minor league rehab start

[Blarg]

Why? It is in his contract that he must if the club decides that is part of his rehab.

[CaliAngel]

I might go to this game!

If I'm not mistaken I believe Jake Yacinich, our possible future SS, just got promoted and is flying out there tomorrow morning: https://twitter.com/Jake_Yacinich14

This is something id actually like to attend, as weird as it sounds. Would be cool to see weaver in that enviornment for some reason.

yeah...i know hes on borrowed time, but some of the stuff ive read on here recently kind of blows me away.

Like the next guy, i dont want to see a shitty weaver take time from a better, younger player (like when he first came up). But i think hes one of those guys whos at least earned a shot to see if hes back.

If Weaver is back to good form the way to make room is to move CJ Wilson to bullpen/spot starter role.

Why don't you go and giv us some scouting reports on Weaver and Jake? I will be in Orem,so I'd appreciate it.

If I want to see an adult get battered by kids. I'll go to South Coast and watch a Hipster with his children.
