And not because of bad food. :)  Seriously though...the Moyer I remember probably threw 20% of his pitches up and in to right handed batters.  They called it his "sneaky" fastball.  He'd only 86 with it in his prime days, but he would throw change-ups off the plate and down a lot early and then just when you'd start leaning out there and get a couple of singles up the middle off of those change-ups, he'd start ramming the ball down your throat and making you pop out.
If Moyer really were a purely low-ball pitcher, he would not have been such a flyball pitcher late in his career.
Glavine used to do this too...even when his heat dropped down to 87...he'd stubbornly refuse to yield the outside corner for a while, then he'd run one in on your hands above the belt.
