M's got smashed in by a more motivated Tigers' lineup.
However, I have to note that while Ichiro's swing isn't significantly different, I think there's a bit of a change in the weight of his swing. The man also had a bat broken in half, which you rarely see.
I think Ichiro's new swing isn't really new, but his training with a new swing probably affected his old one in certain directions. (Also, I thought his leg kick wasn't really a kick, but more of the Ackley-style.)
This is typical Ichiro. He does the behind-the-back catches not for show, but as practice to his general defense. IIRC, he's said that if you can't complete a complex play, you won't be able to do the basics either.
