Didn't realize he was still trying.

God speed. Great times watching him in an Angels uniform

 

[Eugene Baker III]

I loved this dude.

Oops.

Pretty hard for pitchers to adjust when they're hitting the mid 80s on their fastball. Still, very nice career and he was one of the better pitchers in the league for a while. He was pretty great in 2011, but was a bit overshadowed by Verlander.

I loved this dude.

Never saw that before. Kind of a bullshit ejection IMO. Then again I feel like Seager was being a bitch there, so...

 

[The Derski]

Probably about time. He was basically throwing BP out there.

Did you see the batter grab his crotch?

I would have quick-pitched him into a coma for that shit.

Yeah...he started the first Padres game I went to this year and it was said....I was waiting for some guy in the seats to go relieve him.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Solid career, but it was definitely time.

His fastball retired about three years ago.

Trevor Hoffman went the same way

jered >>> jeff

the weaver brothers retire a combined 254-217 record

not quite the niekros

 

[Rock Strongo]

jered had a 5 year span where he went:

80-42
2.99 ERA
8 CG
1 no hitter
1.087 WHIP
ERA+ 126

he averaged 16-8 and 203 IP over that span

Weaver put together one of the greatest seasons in college baseball history as a junior at Long Beach State in 2004. He went 15-1, 1.62 and set the school record for strikeouts in a game (17), season (213) and career (431) to lead the Dirtbags within a win of reaching Omaha for the College World Series. His 213 strikeouts that year remain tied for sixth-most in a single season in Division I history, and he was named Baseball America's 2004 College Player of the Year. The previous season he went 14-4, 1.96 at Long Beach State and followed with 45.2 consecutive scoreless innings for Team USA in the summer.

Best wishes to him in retirement. He had a solid career IMO.

 

[navamind]

219th all-time in career WAR among pitchers. That's a very solid career. Some of the guys he ranks ahead of:

Dan Haren (kinda surprises me, figured he'd be a bit higher because he had some really good years, but he did have some stinkers)
Derek Lowe
Tim Wakefield
Andy Benes
Sid Fernandez
Rick Sutcliffe
Don Newcombe
Pat Hentagen

Somebody should have told him that Eddie Harris has an answer for that...
