    Let's hope this Weber doesn't serve up meat.

    Weber looking good so far. He has an odd delivery and doesn't throw hard. However, he has a lot of movement on his pitches.

    Yeah, the movement is impressive. Reminds me a little of Medlen.

    I'm not sure Weber is starting material because I think hitters would catch on to him the second or third time through the order. He'd look good in the bullpen though.

    Braves last in MLB in RISP since the all star break... They were 5th before the all star break...

    I seem to recall several posters ensuring me that the approach was the reason for the hot start... and not dumb luck

    Is it too late to flip Weber?

    Just looking at his stats and how he pitches, I'm going to go with Bob Tewksbury as my comp.

    Not that either should be purported as good statistical analysis, but it's not very fair to completely discard that point considering the roster is drastically different.

    Can't see the game, but given the look of Weber's minor league stats, that might be pretty accurate.
