Moyerized again

Jamie Moyer + Indians = loss.
Like a lecture on algebra, it's black and white and painful to sit through.
In Sunday's 9-1 Mariners win over the Indians, Moyer used his change-up to the effect of Chinese water torture yet again. It must be like hitting a Nerf ball, because seldom does the ball reach the outfield on the fly when it's struck.
The loss was (believe it or not) worse than it looked. Indians starter Scott Elarton held Seattle to one run on a sacrifice fly through five innings before the wheels came off in the sixth, when Seattle made it a 7-0 game.
But when you are the Indians and you face Moyer, one run might as well be seven. It might as well be 100.
Moyer has not lost to the Indians since 2000. In his last nine starts, The Plain Dealer related this morning, he is 7-0 with a 1.91 ERA. That doesn't count two wins in the 2001 playoffs.
Sunday, the lone run he gave up was an Aaron Boone solo shot in the seventh inning.
The kicker is, Moyer is 42. But he throws soft and softer, and appears to keep himself in pretty good shape, so there's no telling how long he can keep this up. He could realistically pitch until after the age of 45. He's already 4-0 this season, winning his 130th game in a Mariners uniform Sunday to tie with Randy Johnson for the franchise's all-time winningest pitcher.
That's great news for the Indians, isn't it?
