Update #5 He’s a Dream Weaver? Jered Weaver update.
Well in our last update Jered Weaver had been called out by the chairman of the Padres Ron Fowler saying that Weave was ‘On a Short Leash’. Fowler was insinuating that Weaver’s days with the Padres or at least in the rotation may be numbered.
With this all being said last Sunday’s start against the White Sox was a make or break situation. Jered Weaver responded like the true champion he is pitching his best game of the season going six innings giving up five hits and only one run with two walks and three strikeouts. The key number here was 0 in the home runs column. It was the first time this season that Weaver has not given up a home run all season when he has pitched.
