You know it is going to be a good day when you wake up and there is video of Carlos Ruiz on the mound.
To what do we owe this honor? The Mariners’ 20-7 loss to the Twins last night. Seattle got pounded so badly that Ruiz had to come in as a relief pitcher.
You can find the full video over at MLB.com. Here’s a highlight of Chooch striking out Minnesota’s Kennys Vargas:
- That’s a front-door sinker, a pitch Ruiz called for Roy Halladay only about a billion times.
- It’s perfectly located with late movement, catching the inside corner of the plate.
