Ichi officially retiring... happy for him and it couldn't have come in a better way... with the team he started his MLB career with and in Japan.

Good stuff. I want to see one more at-bat though.

 

[651akathepaul]

Man, wth.

A major leaguer got a catch a routine play like that.

 

[Sinner]

Looks like he would have done better had he backhanded it. Caught in between.

 

[Sinner]

Oh man.

The look in Ichiro’s face is devastating. Hopefully he gets one more at bat, crazy to fee that intensity in March.

So anti-climactic. Hopefully the M's just get the win here...I'm about ready to move on from this Ichiro stuff already.

 

[Sinner]

At this point, might as well let him finish it.

 

[Sinner]

FFS

 

[651akathepaul]

That's a HR!

Edit: No it ain't.

Damn.

 

[651akathepaul]

Welp...The stage is set for Ichi...

Bah.

 

[Sinner]

The feels.

 

[DsLee]

Kikuchi breaking down was something...

To join the team and play (as a starting pitcher) with your childhood hero in his final season/game. I mean, what are the odds?!

 

[651akathepaul]

C'mon now, Mitch. Drive one.

Crap.

 

[Sinner]

Treinen's stuff is so nasty.

Treinen's stuff is so nasty.

He's dealin' right now. Mid-season form.

To start your career the same day a legend ends his is incredible.

Braden Bishop looked lost at the plate and then shaking his head at the strike 3 call like a cocky little ****.

That was strike 3 son...Sit down.

Seriously though, to join the team and play with your childhood hero in his final season/game, IN YOUR HOME COUNTRY. That's crazy, I don't care what anyone says because the M's are classy AF for this whole thing. Good luck to you fellas this season.

 

[Sinner]

Would have wanted Ichi to have at least gotten a hit, but I'm glad it ended the way it did.

 

[SpittaJetLife]

I wish Ichiro would have played the entire season.

 

[dakid23]

2-0!

 

[BtownKj]

Nothing more to say than Thank You Ichiro. What a player. What a career.
