Weaver Enjoying the Moment

Fresh off one of the best performances of his career, right-hander Jeff Weaver is thrilled to be starting the Dodger home opener.

“All my friends and family will be there,” said Weaver, who grew up in Simi Valley.

Weaver (1-0) held the San Francisco Giants scoreless for eight innings in his first start. He was lifted after throwing 102 pitches.

“I can throw a complete game if I don’t have too many deep counts,” he said. “I’d like be able to give our bullpen a break again.”

The Dodgers signed two pitchers with major league experience, Pat Mahomes and Mike Neu, to add depth to the triple-A Las Vegas staff.

The Dodgers spent $20 million to renovate Dodger Stadium, but one of the most significant changes didn’t cost a penny: more organ music.

Fans attending today’s home opener against the San Francisco Giants can expect to hear more of organist Nancy Bea Hefley and less of the recorded rock music that last season became the norm between innings.

“We’re going to turn the volume down and keep it diverse,” director of marketing Drew McCourt said of the musical selection.

The change is part of owner Frank McCourt’s pledge to make Dodger Stadium what he envisions as “the most entertaining, most family-friendly venue in all of sports in the entire country.”

Drew McCourt said stadium officials would lower the volume of a sound system that in some areas is “deafeningly loud.”
