Podcasts about ichiro

As a Mariner’s fan, it’s tradition to quibble with offseason moves. But there has been ONE personnel change that the majority of longtime fans are cheering. Not on the field, mind you… but in the Broadcast booth. Angie Mentink is joining a roster of former players providing color commentary during TV broadcasts, becoming the first woman in Mariners history to have this regular gig. There’s been lots of shifting around on the broadcast side for the M’s: Longtime voice of the Mariners Dave Sims left us for the Yankees, (just like Ichiro, THE PAIN,) so Aaron Goldsmith will take over the main play-by-play position. And joining Angie as analysts are, Mariner Hall of Famer Jay Buhner, former catcher Dave Valle, and former pitcher Ryan Rowland-Smith. Angie Mentink is one of the first women to play professional baseball, in addition to being a hall of fame UW softball player. She’s been a member of the organization for nearly 30 years and is making history as the first permanent female analyst in the booth for the M’s.

Braydon and Alan come together to discuss to the news of Ichiro making the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Braydon and Alan discuss this amongst other things on the latest from Soarin' Sports!

The ronin stood in horror as the creature wailed from beneath the well. Seppun Azusa called a meeting to discuss their next steps.As Boa, Tsume, and Kaizoku thought of a plan, they noticed the ronin hired to protect the castle beginning to gather their things and leave. Their work had been steady and well paying, but with Masaru and Nobu imprisoned and with a new threat lingering beneath the castle, the ronin didn't want to risk their lives for a lord who might not have the means to pay them. Surprised by their shortsightedness, Boa reasoned with the ronin, reminding them that their strength was in numbers, and that Lord Jikai would surely reward them handsomely for their service to his castle. In total, 9 ronin decided to stay while the rest fled.The ronin sat in audience with Seppun Azusa and Lord Jikai's court. Dzudh, the wandering monk from the north, gave advice on how to defeat the kyokotsu. He said that attacks which would kill a human would merely stun it. He advised wearing the creature down with an assault of attacks, and then when it's vulnerable, conduct a cleansing ritual to destroy it once and for all. With Tetsuya dead, they needed to find a different shugenja to perform the ritual. They suggested sending Setsuo back to Twin Blessings Village and asking if Daizo would be able to conduct the ritual instead. They also decided that while he was there, he should convince the rebels to back down and see if any of them would be willing to help defeat the monster. With these things in motion, the ronin concocted a plan...Kaizoku and Tsume searched the hillside for an entrance into the underground water system which the well was connected to. They found a wide opening with high ridges on either side of the waterway: a perfect location to set a trap. Tsume then followed the cave system and carefully mapped a course to the well beneath the castle. Meanwhile, Boa led a team of servants cutting wood. Dzudh marked an inscription into these wood panels, and then with help from Boa and the servants, placed the wood panels in the stream bed, blessing the water.The next day Kaizoku and Tsume stocked up on supplies while Boa butchered meat to use as bait for the monster. That night, Setsuo arrived from Twin Blessings Village with the priest, Daizo. He had agreed to perform the Cleansing Rite, but they were unable to persuade anyone else to join the cause. It appeared the rebels were still planning to attack the castle. There was no going back then. The ronin had to defeat the kyokotsu, or else a terrible battle would needlessly claim the lives of dozens.The following day, they unleashed their trap. Tsume, Azusa, and Ume planted the meat on a course to lure the creature into the open. Boa stood at the mouth of the cave with a team of ronin and Kaizoku stood on the ridge with a team of archers. Slowly, the kyokotsu came shambling into the open.With the monster disoriented, they attacked. A barrage of attacks from all sides wore the creature down, and they outnumbered it 14 to 1, but it was a terrible foe nonetheless. Its aura radiated hatred and its wail splintered the soul. But with teamwork and tenacity, they defeated the monster. Soon, it collapsed from exhaustion. While in this vulnerable state, Daizo rushed out and performed the cleansing rite. The kyokotsu's remains turned to dust and it was vanquished for eternity.With the Kyokotsu defeated and Otomo Yuki's spirit finally laid to rest, peace was restored to the land. The water kami were pleased and blessed the people of Twin Blessings Village and Nestled Village with a plentiful harvest.Satisfied with the water kami's blessing, the rebels ended their plotting against Closed Shell Castle and returned to their homes.Setsuo reclaimed his position as village head and repaired his relationship with his son, Ichiro.Reju Jikai recovered from his wounds and restored peace with the villagers with the brave and loyal Seppun Azusa at his side.Daizo was given a permanent position at Closed Shell Castle as well as all the ronin who decided to stay and defeat the monster-- not as swords for hire, but as noble samurai.Otomo Nobu and Reju Masaru were exposed for their treachery and executed with no chance for seppuku.Tsume became a sworn samurai in service of Lord Reju Jikai and moved his family into Closed Shell Castle. He gave up his life of grave robbing and treasure hunting in order to provide safety and security for his mom and siblings.Boa settled on a plot of land in Twin Blessings Village with his estranged son and his son's mother, intent on patching up that relationship and being the father he always should have been.Kaizoku was reunited with his ship, newly renovated by the people of Twin Blessings Village as thanks for all that he did. He set sail, continuing toward the horizon and letting the river take him wherever it pleased. Artwork by Dylon MunozMusic by Brandon Spain & Podcast of the Five Rings
