I didn't get to watch much of the game the other day, but I have to say, what I saw was awesome. You know, the one where Seattle was playing. Against some team. TBH I completely forget now. Anyway, Ichiro's up, hit a single grounder to the left (and basically STOPS the bat mid-swing when he realizes it's an off-speed pitch, too), 3rd baseman makes a spectacular diving play + throw and still doesn't beat Ichiro because the dude is amazing.
Then Ichiro steals second. Then Ichiro steals third. Then some dude hits a grounder to third, 3rd baseman makes a nice catch, looks at home and realizes he has NO chance of catching Ichiro, and trows to first for the out which he gets.
It's been a while since I've watched much baseball but I REALLY like watching Seattle. If I didn't hate their cap so much I would buy one! (I think I used to have one in the mid 90s, actually, but that was the mid 90s when navy and green were ok together, amirite?)

i won't buy another mariners cap until they do away with the teal. fuck that color.
alex, with his speed i think his range could be even wider. (but my thinking is more based on watching him than any statistical analysis)

Haha I like that Ichiro is coyly bitching about the team dress code while talking up the prez.

Read a couple of things yesterday that both concluded he'd be at or very close to 4,000 if he'd started in Seattle at age 21. A big factor is that all those years in Japan, he was playing a 136-game schedule.
― clemenza, Friday, 23 August 2013 12:59 (ten years ago) link
I think that's a pretty safe conclusion.

Between the Lines, Japanese Star Is Known as a First-Class Spanish Trash Talker
Veteran first baseman Carlos Pena remembered one of his frequent encounters with Ichiro. He was defending first for the Tampa Bay Rays, and Ichiro had just arrived on one of his patented infield hits. Ichiro peered over at Pena and asked, "Que coño tu mira?," or, "What the hell are you looking at?" Pena clamped his lips together to prevent the laughter from bursting through.

Yusei Kikuchi clearly influenced by Ichiro's history with Mariners.“Mr. Ichiro is a person in the sky, a legend. I don’t know if he really exists. I want to meet and talk with him first.
