Softy H1 - Ichiro's done for 2018 / Mitch Haniger on Ichiro and the M's / Two questions after last night's M's loss




Dave 'Softy' Mahler and Dick Fain show

Summary: The speculation is finally over. Ichiro is not playing for the rest of 2018. He will continue to play an active role for the team, but in a front office role, becoming Special Assistant to the Chairman. This is not an official retirement, and there's a chance we could see him again next year. Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger joins the show to talk about Ichiro, how he and the team bounce back after a tough loss, and how the vibe of the team has evolved this season. After last night's tough loss, there are two big questions that need to be debated. With the way Paxton was pitching, was he pulled out of the game too early? Should Diaz only be reserved for save situations?
