You have to f***ing try to walk Everett

 

Well none of those 4 pitches were within a foot, so he did a hell of a job.

 

Double barreled activity in the Mariners pen, Moyer might be done thank God.

God, how the Hell did Beltre go from 48 home runs in a season to not even hitting the Mendoza line?

Carl is looking pretty heavy

 

Well, just gotta have John throw a GOOD sinker, and the inning should be over.

Just a guess, but I'm thinking illegal substances.

A rare changeup by Garland to a righty. Shades of Tejada AB from last season.

when they had that shot of the mariners bullpen i had a flashback of hawk and wimpy saying that mike jackson was about to moowalk out to the mound

Wow, NASTY change s*** to get Beltre. Where's that been all year?

Nice pitch, oh well.

it was so good, he coulnt even hit it!

It's all a question of motivation for him any more. And I think last year might have been the last year he really got up for a season, since he was playing to try to get 1 more contract.

And never trust a player who has a career year, one that totally surpasses his career totals, in their free agency season.

nice pitch

 

sit down

Yes sir, and those illegal substances made him A LOT of money. In a case like Beltre, you can see why he'd be tempted to do it, ESPECIALLY in a contract year.

 

GAS!!! and Reed is gone. Heading to the 7th 2-1 Sox. This feels like last year right now.

Garland's actually throwing harder since his gaffe. I feel like we caught a break that inning, as Sexson's out seemed like a definite homer off the bat.

Well, that was in 2004, so there was certainly testing...we wouldn't necessarily have known because you had to test positive like 3 times in order to get a suspension.

Good bounce back from the fumble the inning before.

the M's suck this year. my money says we take the entire series. we just simply have quality players period.

Btw, that pitch was only 78 to get Beltre, so it was actually a change. The fact that it looked so much like a sinker is what made it so freaking nasty, nobody other than fat Albert was gonna hit that s***.

The testing in 2004 was quite poor, if I remember correctly. I thought it was after the 2004 season where the testing became "legit".

Nah, he got under it and it appeared to catch a jet stream. Was amazed it carried that far, damn thin air in Seattle is always a problem.

Jon's and Moyer's pitching lines look nearly identical, except in Pitches and Rs. 5 Hits, 4 K's, 1 ER, 1 BB.

 

Let's hope Jon can end up with the W though!

The good news, IMO, is that maybe this MLB investigation might expose the couple percent who did test positive in 04, since I'm not sure there was the guarantee of confidentiality like there was in 03.

Yep, and he could have been on HGH and never got caught anyways. Hell, there are guys right now on HGH (*cough* Giambi */cough*) that are still taking advantage of the fact the system has flaws.

Wow Brian got schooled on that change. Yikes.
