The Daily Catch: Oct 6, 2022

Oct 6, 2022 - 4:00 PM

Happy First-PostSEAson-Game-Since-2001 Eve (to those who celebrate)!

Today’s Daily Catch is a combo of treasures from the past two days due to me being swallowed by a whale and having to crawl my way out without scuffing my C’s (Converse).

One morsel of an announcement before we get started:

If you signed up for a Lookout Landing Watch Party, you should’ve gotten an email yesterday. If you forgot to sign up, look through our comment section in the tweet below to find someone in your area.

Trivia Question

The Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays both field young teams, but which is younger? For reference, the “older team” has an average age of 28.27 years old, the younger team has an average age of 27.88 years old.

Yesterday’s Yesterday Question: Whose record did Ichiro break in 2004 when he became the new record holder for total hits in a season with 262?

Yesterday’s Yesterday Answer: George Sisler (whose last name comes dangerously close to Sizzler which makes me want a buffet).

DaiLLY PoLL

The Mariners have now touched down in Toronto and are gearing up for Game 1. When was the last time you were in Canada?

Yesterday’s results: I forgot to add it to the poll, but it was mentioned in the comment section that they should go with a Salish design and I’m here to fully endorse that.

MaiLLbag

Angela asks:

Will Jesse Winker be on the playoff roster? If you need a hitter who is a defensive liability, why not activate Kyle Lewis?

Since Angela sent this in, Jesse Winker has been placed on the IL and will be off the roster for the Wild Card round and I imagine the rest of the PostSEAson should we advance. His diagnosis is a neck strain which makes sense because his offense has been a pain in my neck all season.

Happy birthday to...!

Former Mariners Jake Bauers (27), Andrew Albers (37), Freddy Garcia (46), Ruben Sierra (57), and Bruce Fields (62)!
