Weave also had the dubious honor of throwing a no-hit loss in 2008:

The Weave is definitely one of my favorite Angels.  He was great for us !! 

Im sorry that he didn't get a chance to win one with us. He was the staff ace for some great Halo teams.

Thanks for the memories Jered !

His arm retired in 2014...but he was one hell of a gamer.

Thanks for being an Angel Weave!  As far as Angel pitchers go, he is top 5 favorites for sure.

Good luck with everything going forward.

Thank you Jered for all the memories!!  You had a great heart and competitive spirit and will definitely be remembered among the Angels elite pitchers.  Thanks also for your touching tribute to Nick Adenhart before you pitched each night.

[IEAngelsfan]

Weaver had heart, tenacity, grit and gave all he got on the field.  You can't ask for anything more from a player.

Wishing you the best and hope you enjoy the next chapter of your life.

Okay okay. So. This kiiiiiiiiiiid thing appears to be some sorta inside joke, right?

Or it's Mike's autocorrect.

I've only been to one game that Weaver pitches in, and that was his first career loss against the A's in Oakland. Great career, and I'll miss watching him pitch!

Congratulations on a mostly excellent career, Mr. Weaver. There comes a time for every player to walk away, so best wishes on the rest of your life. How is your "mic" presence, by the way?

[eligrba]

My favorite memory was when Jered just came off the DL and was starting a game in Texas and hit the first batter with the first pitch and was promptly ejected.

That was awesome.......

My favorite player and member of the sons of anarchy

[Keener]

Joining others to say he should have retired an Angel.  There was no padre tenure as far as i will ever believe.  

One of my all time favorites.  I will never forget his quiet class and clear leadership in the wake of the Adenhart tragedy.

[Brandon]

never forget when this dude told me in the angels dugout, "I'm pitching today bud" when I asked him for an interview.

dude was a straight g. one of my favorite angels of all-time.

[Diaz15]

One of my favorites. His jersey was the first I ever bougt. It was always a pleasure to watch him compete.

Class Act, Gladiator, Clubhouse leader and all around a good dude to the fans. Thanks for putting your heart and soul into the halos!

Thank goodness you didn't use "putting your blood and soul" or the auto-correct would have f'd you over into Nazi territory.

No one will believe me, but i have some pretty good stories from that night. Pretty unreal.

Weave was a beast. Absolute legend as far as Angels go. I know people will point out whatever negatives, but he led the team without a ton of help for a long time. Took less money, named his kid after adenheart, brought an edge to a team that honestly, was maybe sometimes a little too lax.

Jeckyl and hyde, sometimes he was cool, sometimes a pain to be around. But i think everyone in baseball respected him. He was a gamer for sure.

Really hope the Angels do something for him. Geez, hes one of the last links to the good times. Howie and aybar, lackey, mathis and naps. Not much left.

Happy for him, but kind of a sad day for angel fans. He'll be missed.

I remember listening to that game at work with my partner, a dodger fan. God that pissed me off.

IP hit the nail on the head in saying you cant look back on the golden years without thinking of him. Not a 2002 guy, but obviously more impact and memories than some guys on that team.

Its been mentioned already he took less money. If anyone remembers, he did the same with his signing bonus when boras wanted him to hold out.

His rookie year was bad as hell. Didnt he tie some record for consecutive wins by a rook pitcher?

[Erstad Grit]

His 2009 playoff game punking the red Sox stands out, but there were so many. I got a mention and spot on sports center holding a "5 more years dream weaver" sign his first game after signing an extension.  One of our best ever.  Tough watching a lot of the fan base turning on him near the end.  He's one of the guys who earned a free pass from me.  

 

[Justabitoutside]

Saw him pitch against Cal State Fullerton. After a few pitches I  asked my buddy " who the hell is this guy"? His answer, "I think he's their ace!" I didn't know at the time he would become one of my favorite Angels player.
