I will give Weathers credit, he has had a very good career but his time has passed. Would not everyone on here rather have Burton's stuff instead of Weathers finese to try to get hitters out esepecially Pujols!!!!!!!

 

Burton has been sup-par at best this season.

Fell behind big early as Harang was terrible today. But, they would have had a shot had Stormy not continued his string of terrible outings. I'm about through with him -- Masset should be pitching the innings Stormy usually gets.

String of terrible outings? Weathers has allowed four runs three of his last four appearances, but before that he had allowed one run in his last seven innings.

 

Sunday was the first time he gave up more than one run since May 8.

 

It just amazes me that seemingly every time Weathers gives up a run, he gets hammered on here. That's the way it goes for relievers, I suppose ... one bad game and you're a bum.

Reds won't be a serious contender until Baker and Weathers are gone. I could not believe Weathers was re-signed in the off season. What is that saying about an organization that can not find a better livelier arm than Weathers. I would much rather have Burton trying to get people out than Weathers who Dusty thinks he is his eighth inning man.

Weathers is keeping the Reds from contending?

 

The Reds have several guys who have done more damage to this season than Weathers.

It's not just on here. He gets Hammered everywhere.

I'll grant that I may have overreacted, but his gagging against St. Louis a week ago Friday made it seem like a lot more.

 

And in his past he has been known to gag on some big ones. As I allowed, he's been pretty effective for the most part. But it seems like when he blows up, it's in a big way, and it comes in bunches. Two of his last three appearances.
