Weaver is not an ace anymore

[laagamer]

you shut your goddamned whore mouth.

I just pissed myself a little bit.

[laagamer]

I knew this was going to get bumped, but I'm glad it did, because that means he's doing great.

*takes foot out of mouth*

Does anyone else have that feeling though that at any time he can blow up and give up like 6 ER in a game?

Pretty much every pitcher does that

[xboom28x]

Scherzer, Kershaw, Cueto all gave up 6ER or more in the past week. A pitcher blowing up for 6ER at any time happens to all of them.

This thread is awesome because its a perfect picture of this board overall. We are quick to turn on players, we are reactionary and our fandom most times dulls our logic.

That is what makes us all fans though. Regardless, there isn't any other starter on this team I would want pitching for us in a big game than Weaver and there aren't many AL pitchers I would pick over Weaver to pitch that big game for us. I'm very happy that he is our best pitcher and that he likes being an Angel.

This is very well put. We as fans can be emotional while teams and managers have to use more logic and more patience than we do.

Posted at 3:30am. I can see someone pointing at their monitor and spilling scotch all over the keyboard while yelling that.

 

Pure awesomeness.

until he ends up having another rough couple starts. It goes both ways.

My opinion of who I'd want pitching a big game won't change based on a couple of rough starts but since the overall point of my post was how reactionary fans are we are kind of in agreement.

Nothing like the Houston Astros to make you feel like an Ace again!

You mean the team that hit four HRs off him earlier this year?

I meant Ass again!

He's a 2 or 3 now. They need to try and get an ace if they look to compete next year.

 

Spot on

Well he has pitched well against Detroit, The Nationals, Cleveland, The Yankees, Toronto, The Rays, and now the Astros. So yea, it's not just the Astros.

[T.G.]

I still look forward to being at the park when Weaver takes the mound.  I love watching him pitch.  He's an artist and I am glad he's on this team, period.

[bloodbrother]

Just find a way to combine Weaver's command with Richards' stuff and there's your ace!

then combine Hank Conger with Scioscia's body type and we have our very own Kung Fu Panda

Spot on

 

oh please.

 

Guys have stepped up and Weaver has pitched better than I expected.

Tyler Skaggs wasn't even on the roster at the time and Garrett Richards was seen as a 4th or 5th starter.

 

Get over your superiority complex

[Lou]

LOL

 

Seems like you're not enjoying this bump as much as you originally let on.

You totally got me

[Stradling]

Weaver really isn't all that good. At least we won the first two of this series.

[bloodbrother]

Dude has a 5.25 ERA in June and he throws slower than my dead grandma. 

[disarcina]

I think Weaver's pretty good -- he'll bounce back........has had some rough starts this year and then some injury issues.

 

If the Halos are in that ONE game playoff (of course, depending on if they needed to play right to the last day to get there -- they shouldn't be -- but if they drop some more games here, they might be).

 

But if they are in a position where they know they are either the AL West winner or Number One wild card the last week -- and then the A's clinch with about 3 or 4 games left (A's don't seem like they are going to lose consecutive games any time soon here or go on a 4 game losing streak like the Halos right now).....it will be interesting to see:

 

who do you set up to pitch that ONE GAME WILD CARD game?

 

Jered Weaver or Garrett Richards?

 

I think a lot of folks here right now say Garrett RIchards..........Me?  Yeah, old school, go with the veteran.......I'd probably go with Weaver.

Santiago.

 

He has heart.
