The Daily Catch 09/28/22: Photos, Mailbags and Birthdays, oh my!

Sep 28, 2022 - 1:00 PM

Hello, readers! Welcome to a brand new type of post we’re testing out this week.

Why The Daily Catch? Because the content you’ll find in this type of post will be as fresh as the stuff you find in a superbly-stocked fish market. You won’t see anything more than a day old located in the treasures below.

With that said, nothing in this post will fall under the “baseball news” category. To find that type of content, you’ll want to check out Lookout Landing’s daily Mariners Moose Tracks post where there’s links to news and long-form content. The arrival of The Daily Catch will not affect the daily Mariners Moose Tracks and you can look forward to having both posts waiting for you in the morning.

The Daily Catch is where you’ll vote for the previous night’s Photo of the Game (which will then go up against other POTGs in an end-of-the-week post), links to Lookout Landing content from the day before that you may have missed, mailbag questions, new social media posts from your favorite Mariners, daily baseball-related polls, and finally, my personal favorite, BIRTHDAY WISHES.

Every day we’ll be wishing Mariners, LL staff, and readers (yes, you!) a big happy birthday. We’ve got the players and LL staff covered, but if you or someone you love has an upcoming birthday, send us an email at lookoutlanding3.0@gmail.com with the subject line “Daily Catch Birthday Wishes” and include first name, last initial or last name, and age you’re/they’re turning if you want that part included.

Similarly, if there’s a question you want answered by the LL staff, either e-mail at the address above, drop a comment below, or shoot us a DM on Twitter with your question. We’ll have a staff member or several answer and include your question in an upcoming post. We figure this will be a faster way to answer the burning questions that are on people’s minds than saving them all up for a weekly mailbag post, but let us know if this is a feature you’d like.

And finally, we want to hear from you in the comment section about any other type of content you’d like to see in The Daily Catch.

Without further ado, enjoy the first ever Daily Catch!

Happy Birthday to...!
