Mariners: Ichiro is More Flexible Than You.
Posted by Rod Mar
Here's something I learned from Seattle's 7-4 loss to Detroit -- all that stretching the Ichiro does before at-bats and between pitches in the field? Apparently it's as effective as Bikram yoga.
Ichiro is flexible.
Here he calls for time after advancing from first to third on Jose Lopez' single in the third. Ichiro scored on Jose Vidro's sacrifice fly to tie the game at 2-2, but Seattle eventually lost after reliever J.J. Putz gave up three runs in the top of the ninth.
