A Tale Of Two Weavers: Angels 3, White Sox 0
Okay, Seitz, you win, Jered's fine now. Seriously, Weav pitched a fine game save for his relative inefficiency in making his outs. Jered threw 107 pitches to make his five and two-thirds innings, 72 of those for strikes, or almost exactly two-thirds. Even though he didn't walk any, he did give up some hits, six to be exact, which included loading up the bases in the fourth on three singles but getting Alex Cintron to fly out.
Contrast that with Jeff Weaver's start for the Mariners; he only achieved a single out while allowing six Royals to cross the plate. Six! So what's next?
"I think Jeff's confidence is still there," manager Mike Hargrove had said on Friday. "Is it as high as it can be? Probably not. What we are about right now is trying to rebuild that. The only way you can rebuild that is by being successful."Ah, fooey. He's probably done with the team, and who knows, maybe baseball, though that may just be wishful thinking at this point. He's supposedly got the worst ERA in the history of the franchise, minimum ten innings pitched.
As for the Angels, the offense consisted of Gary Matthews, Jr. (first inning solo homer), Erick Aybar (drove in Casey Kotchman on an RBI single in the top of the second), and Reggie Willits (RBI single in also in the top of the second); K-Rod got the save in a relatively uneventful way, and even Scot Shields had a good outing. So, yay.
