"To no avail, Adrian Beltre try's to tell his biggest fan Red not to use his laser-vaporizer on Mike Reilly after Beltre was called out on strikes before being allowed to appeal his own swing."

"Beltre called time out. While his pitch recognition wasn't the greatest, he couldn't shake the feeling that the last pitch was in fact a catcher's mask."

"Well,"
a winded and slightly disheveled Beltre explained, "I first suspected something was off when instead of calling the pitch, home plate umpire Jim Joyce bear hugged Pierzynski from behind and cackled menacingly. It’s not often you actually hear someone cackle. I mean, really cackle. So when he and A.J. dematerialized, I just knew Jim had kidnapped A.J. and escaped somewhere back in time, and it was up to me – and my familiarity with Quantum-mechanical phenomena – to save him. It was a simple matter of deduction to know where in time Joyce would most likely taking him. I pointed down to the first base umpire to corroborate my theory, though I suppose in retrospect it wasn’t all that necessary. Anyway, you all know the rest, and that’s how Red and I saved the universe. Honest. You can check with the first base umpire if you don’t believe me! He’ll tell you!"

Note "shock" not "fear"
Beltre fears nothing except the occasional curvy pitch.

Adrian Beltre
was forced to fend off the apparently haunted catcher's mask with his bat for more than 4 minutes until the grounds crew could arrive with a makeshift net. There is still no official explanation for how or why the mask floated out of the Orioles clubhouse and attacked Beltre. "I never really thought those fencing lessons would come in so handy," Beltre quipped afterwards.

Two possibilities
1. Batter Adrian Beltre signals baserunner Ichiro Suzuki to return to third base after realizing that pitcher Bugs Bunny, arguably the best player ever banned from baseball, had employed the famous switcharoo play in which he pitches the catchers mask and then tags out the runner leading off of the base. It was all for naught as Beltre, Vidro, and Wilkerson all struck out on the ensuing pitch. It was described as a slow, curvy ball, the main weakness of the 2008 mariners.
or
2. Olympic qualifier Adrian Beltre, Dominican Republic, protests the host nation China's mistreatment of Tibetans by holding a fencing exhibition against the world's most difficult opponent, the invisible man. Beltre is revolutionary in fencing after employing a bat as opposed to the traditional epee or foil, only after his attempt at using no instrument failed.

Clearly, it's:
Funk Blasted: Adrian Beltre, in full disco motion, is stunned by his first ever Reverse Funk Blast, which ejected the catcher, and not the ball, from the field of play at Oriole Park at Camden Yards late Saturday. No runs were credited for this version of the Funk Blast, though the catcher had to be replaced. The Orioles won the game 6-4.

Seattle Mariners third baseman Adrian Beltre waits to be tapped in by Houston Rockets center Yao Ming during this year's Annual Pro Sports Battle Melee. To his right, Melee veteran Alan Iverson slings a trophy from his recent conquest over Milwaukee Brewers catcher Jason Kendall. Beltre is 3-0 lifetime for this charity event, raising over $40,000 for autism research through match pledge donations.

"Rangers Catcher Gerald Laird had apparently laughed at Beltre's appeal of his own check swing. After teleporting Laird to a remote part of Argentina, Beltre 'appealed' to the third base umpire and asked if anyone else had something to say."
"Beltre signals to a baserunner that Texas Catcher Gerald Laird had fallen for a classic trick: "I told him that there were free Funyons near the M's dugout."
"Adrian Beltre appealed to the first base umpire after determining that he, and not Gerald Laird and Tim McClelland (both caucasian) had survived the lightning attack by the demented killer. 'I have seen many movies,' said Beltre afterwards, 'and I have no seen this situation.'"
"Beltre's off-season workout plan included Tiger-Crane style, which helped getting home plate umpire Mark Carlson to change a called strike. Gerald Laird, not pictured, fainted."

Realizing he might have "caught a peice" of the catcher on his warm up swing.
King Awesome requests a time out from the umpire.
Fun Fact: Angels third baseman Chone Figgins' first name is actually pronounced "Shawn." And his last name is actually pronounced "Weinberg" (it's a silent "Figgins").
