i ate 10 tacos next to jeff weaver last night

Coming up: Jeff Weaver will bring the highest ERA on the staff (10.61) into Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles at Vero Beach. Weaver had a 6.99 ERA last spring and started the season with a 6.07 ERA in April before getting back on track. This will be his fourth start of the spring.

Weaver gave up 8 hits and 1 walks over 6 innings yesterday, only serving up 3 soft tacos as opposed to the much harder variety that Albert Pujols introduced him to last week.

HI LEEE I AM INTRIGUED BY YOUR ORGANIZATION'S LITERATURE AND WOULD LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR DELUDED CULT I MEAN BINGO CLUB

Coaching visit to the mound and only one out. SF 3, LA 0.

These aren't those long tacos that you get at some places, these are strictly more of the station to station variety.

HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM TACOS.

A close one for Team USA, starter Jered Weaver struck out the first six batters he faced. In the third with two outs, Weaver gave up two runs on a walk, a triple, a single, and a double before retiring Francisco Mendez to end the inning. Weaver only posted four innings before getting yanked.

WAY TO BRO

No taco night has been proposed... yet.

This is an elaborate joke, right? Jered Weaver on...stretching.

"It doesn't feel like your body's supposed to do that, but it needs to," Weaver said. "I just hated the feeling of it. It's like nails on a chalkboard to me. But, if you're gonna commit yourself to staying in this game, if your passion and love is still in it, you're gonna do what it takes to get through that. I'm well aware of what I need to do. I'm going to stay on top of it as much as possible."

Weaver, 33, spoke Sunday at Tempe Diablo Stadium, where the Angels are continuing spring-training exercises. He has thrown two bullpen sessions here and earned positive reviews from the team.

He worked hard at stretching this off-season, he said, and began throwing one month earlier than usual to see if the stretching was working. It was. Weaver said his stretching and massage work was primarily "old school," with "a lot of knees and elbows."

@pedromoura
Jered Weaver did not throw a pitch faster than 83 mph in his first spring inning

Im proud of lil' weav for being a better junk baller than his big brother

After spring debut, Angels' Jered Weaver passes torch to Garrett Richards

Hopefully he won't have to reach so far that he becomes limber enough to crank it up to 84.

topped out at 80 today, gave up three homers in 2 2/3

btw i really love that b-ref's automated projections have him earning one save this year despite his having never, in his career, pitched in relief

Jered Weaver’s Fastball: Sorry … this is taking a little longer than I thought … almost there

Klaw: Take your time. We’ve got another half hour at least.

Michael: Guys like Weaver and Sabathia presumably wouldn’t make their teams if they were 24 and making $500k. Is it fair to ask then, why don’t those teams just realize the sunk cost and release them?

Klaw: In Weaver’s case they might have to do that – how can you let him start if Carlos Perez could just catch Weaver’s fastball with his teeth?

Jered Weaver is topping out at 84 mph through two long innings. 3 runs in, and Minute Maid Park is calling many of his fastballs changeups.

0.2 IP, 4 ER, 3 H, 2 HBP

@sdutdennislin
Jered Weaver said he's been dealing with some dead arm since his last bullpen. He's had dead-arm phases in past springs.

...

Try STRETCHING.

14 homers allowed in 35.2 IP

Greg Zaun (the blue jays wannabe don cherry talking head) has started referring to home runs as tacos.

Every single time I see "Bernie Sanders campaign advisor Jeff Weaver" I have to remind myself, sadly, that it's not *that* Jeff Weaver. https://t.co/TFlCTSK4tT

Man what’s a guy gotta do to get an invite to spring? Zero calls since I retired.. kinda weird. Oh well.

Any organizations with a "no stretching" philosophy out there?
