Game two from Spring Training was a welcome return to so many warm and comfortable features. The ROOT Sports Northwest broadcast was on in full, bringing a return for the first time in game to the familiar rapport of Dave Sims and Mike Blowers on the broadcast. On the second batter of the game, Seattle Mariners starter LHP Jhonathan Díaz yielded a fly ball to left field that the broadcast read as a deep drive before seeing it settle harmlessly around middle-depth into left fielder Sam Haggerty’s glove. Nature, healing, things of that nature. The greatest panacea of the afternoon came from Mitch Haniger, whose first plate appearance back in (multiple shades of) teal was met with a lengthy ovation from the crowd.
