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.

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...!
