A scout told Pedro Moura of the Los Angeles Times that Jered Weaver topped out at 80 mph in his two-inning Cactus League start Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Weaver was shelled for five runs on six hits, yielding homers to Joc Pederson, Scott Van Slyke, and Austin Barnes. The home run from Barnes came on a 78 mph fastball. Weaver also struggled with velocity in 2015 and finished with a career-worst 4.64 ERA in 159 innings. We'd be avoiding the 33-year-old batting practice pitcher in all fantasy formats.

 

 

And yes, he served up a HR on a 78 MPH fastball

Maybe Weaver should have lifted some more weights instead of yoga...  78 mph fastball is just absurd.

 

He's done

 

Screw off dude. Weaver took a huge discount more than once to pitch here and now you want to piss on him. Fans like you are why I don't blame an athlete who has no loyalty and chases the money.

It's a good thing we can always rely on you, Oh Great Superfan, to fight the good fight! Fight on!

 

I'm a superfan yet I hated the Pujols deal and was very vocal about it.......Let me guess......you were the clouded superfan when Pujols signed right? 

 

I have no problem recognizing I'm an optimist. You realize this is a hobby which is intended to bring joy right? 

 

Certain players deserve respect and it sucked watching this board trash GA, Guerrero, and now Weaver. 

 

It's pretty clear Weaver is not looking good. I have some minimal hope considering despite his lack of velocity he kept the HRS down last year. The OP had no productive take to bring up on Weaver, he just wanted to take a cheap shot.

Professional sports is a cruel world to make a living in. These guys are human beings.

Orange County is one of, if not the "kindest" place to experience what Weave is going through right now.

I'm sure he will take today home with him, and he is going to have some decisions to make about going on with this.

Scioscia won't take him out of his role unless he asks him to, and I'm sure Weave knows that.

Of course he deserves enormous credit for what he did here over a long time. But that doesn't change the fact that he is now bad to the point where it will be highly detrimental to our chances of winning when he takes the hill. Sadly, barring some miracle velocity resurgence, Weaver is done.

  1. Jered Weaver always gets extra defensive support behind him because he gets to be his own catcher

As hard as it is for us as fans to watch what's going on imagine being in his head.. He's turned over every stone the last few years trying to find a way to stave off the inevitable and none of it has worked.   Forgive me but I'll choose to remember him for what he was and celebrate what he gave us instead of lining up to kick him as he exits.

He's said he's been waking up wondering if that's the day it finally all clicks.

 

If that's what he's wondering, he's likely not very confident on the mound.

 

He's given us all he has, pretty literally. I don't think there's anything left in the tank, and when he accepts and understands that, he'll walk away.

Sullivan is a Mariners fan -- anyone that's ever read Lookout Landing over the years knows of his open hatred for the Angels and his constantly talking about how much more joy he derived from having the Ms beat the Angels than any other team.   It's to be expected.  Nothing to get upset about.
