"Two or three guys can get hot, but the whole team? No," Batista said. "Something's happening."

Yes, Miguel, that "something happening" is called you getting shelled.

The right-hander lasted just 2 2/3 innings in his second start against New York in six days and said afterward that the Yankees hitters "had a good idea what was coming."

The Mariners will check out the video of Saturday night's game to see if they can detect something that Miguel Batista did to tip off some of his pitches.

To catch a thief: When Ichiro Suzuki stole two bases in Friday night's game, it marked the 34th time in his Major League career that he's swiped more than one base in a game.
He also extended his streak of consecutive thefts without being caught to 43, extending his own American League record. The Major League mark is 50, set by Vince Coleman from Sept. 18, 1998, to July 26, 1999. Ichiro hasn't been caught stealing since April 19, 2006.

And who will replace the mighty Julio Mateo?
