He just tied the MLB hits record in the 2nd. The guy is nails. Flat out nails.

Is he a catcher?

Who cares again?
I think Ichiro is great and everything, but it's easily the most meaningless record in MLB by far. Hell, the guy who holds the record for getting hit the most times in a season has accomplished something more impressive.

The accomplishment of hitting the ball so frequently and consistently over the course of a season is nothing short of amazing, especially in this age of good pitching compared to the '20's when this record was set. The fact it has been 84 years since this record was put up and every one of the top ten in the most hits list was within fifteen years of 1920 demonstrates just how difficult a task this is.
Is it as flashy as going yard like Barry? No, but Ichiro is far more productive for a small ball team like Seattle. Admit it, Smash, if the Sox could snag a hitter who connects with the ball like Ichiro, they'd give their right nut for someone like that.

It's too bad Bonds is still hanging around (with all those juice needle marks in his arm) this year. Ichiro won't win the bats award this year because of him.

When you think about it, the difficulty of hitting 260 hits in a season is incredible. Roughly 150 games, round up the hits to 300 for simplicity's sake, figure five at bats (if he were playing in every game) in a nine inning game and that works out to having to hit the ball and make first base twice out of every five at bats-- against all the different pitchers in the league, rain or shine, slumps or hot streaks, and includes days off.
Like I say, it's an incredible feat.

Um, I really don't think so. It's nice to have a consistent lead off guy who get's a lot of singles, but I can't imgaine they'd be trading Schilling or Manny or Ortiz or Pedro or even Damon for him.
He's hitting .375 which is nice, but he's got what? 70 RBI maybe?
If you got points for hits maybe the Mariners would be above .500 this year :)

You having fun impressing yourself?
But that's due to his lineup position more than anything else.
They say he can pick his spot, put spin on the ball like it's a ping-pong ball, and completely modulate how far the hit will go. Boonie (Bret, not Aaron) says he's never seen anyone who can manipulate the ball like Suzuki.

Ichiro can't hit. He can run.
I swear he's halfway out of the box halfway through his swing.

Hey, I can't help it if you don't appreciate such an ultra-rare gift of athleticism, Rad. But I'm certain when you manage to fit that sixteenth tire iron in your a$$, you'll be sure to come around here and crow about your accomplishment.

No, not really. Damon is a leadoff hitter and has 90 RBI.
There are probably 20 players any team would rather have than Ichiro.
It's a silly record, not to mention Ichiro is doing with like 100 more at bats.
Sorry man.

He can hit, but he's a slap hitter, like a tennis player. But he's extraordinarily fast, so he's halfway to first base before the ball is even in the glove of the fielder, like you said.
He was considered a home run king back in Japan before he came here, but the ballfields are smaller over there. He's like a god to the Japanese.

I was kidding. I'm from Seattle and I love the guy. If only the rest of the players on the team didn't need a walker to get to first base we might have done something this year.

Sadly, that is true. The average age of the Mariners is like 36 or something. Martinez alone is in his 40's now.

When he hits .400 give me a ring.
That'd be an accomplishment. Having the most hits, singles, whatever the record is, and only hitting .375 just means he's getting a lot of at bats.
Meaningless.

It is an amazing accomplishment, like Totem said, the record has stood for 84 years. So what, he had more at-bats. Hank Aaron had more at-bats than Babe Ruth, and only eclipsed him by 41 HR.
People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome. ~River Tam

Yeah, I think you're thinking of Roger Maris. Either that or you're comparing a single season record to a carreer record where at bats are meaningless.
It's stood for so many years because most lead off hitters understand that a walk and a single in the first inning are the same thing. Ichiro is breaking a record because he gets a single instead of walking.
A record standing for a long time doesn't make it particularly meaningful.

Ichiro was integral to the Mariners having that 116 game winning season a couple of years back. It was his work at leadoff and in the outfield that was a large part of what made that team the record holder it was.
It's not his fault the management is content to have the seats filled and their pockets full, but not make a run at the ring.

Congrats to Ichiro for breaking one of the most boring records ever. I would still take him over Barry the Juice Up Bonds.

I wasn't dissing the guy, I was just looking at how you posted 5 times in a row.

Hey, I love Ichiro. I even have an Ichiro jersey. It's still a meaningless record. If a Red Sox player broke it next year, it'd be meaningless then too.
