Mariners Julio Rodriguez

As we get  ready  for the major
leaguers to report whenever 
that is  Julio Rodriguez will be
the talk of  spring training  in
Peoria Arizona. 

Most likely  Julio will start the
season at Tacoma.  This won't 
make a difference whether the
major leagues start on time or
not.

I am sure the Mariners will have 
Julio in Seattle when he is expect
to  be playing  as a regular. If  he is
in the lineup he will probably play
some left and some right field. This
could  depend how healthy Kyle 
Lewis is  as well. 

We could see Lewis and Mitch Haniger 
share the dh spot though Lewis maybe 
there  more frequently. I hear those so
called experts for the Mariners to pick
up a dh but  my opinion a waste of time
unless Lewis isn't  healthy to start the
season. The Cougars on the other hand 
take on 

In other local sports  the  Washington 
Huskies beat the Washington State 
Cougars 78-70 on Saturday afternoon 
in Seattle. The same score when Cougars 
beat the Huskies Wednesday night.

The Cougars were ahead by six points at
halftime, however,  the Huskies went man
to  man on defense in the  second half to
make the difference. Terrell Brown Jr  scored
25 points to  lead the Huskies with 21 coming
in the second half. 

Emmitt Mathews Jr  who was out for a few
games returned scoring  15 points. He might
have been unrecognizable as he returned with 
a haircut. Jamal Bey third with 13 points. Michael 
Flowers led the Cougars with  30 points. Flowers 
made 7 out of 12 behind the 3-point  line. He was
the one primary Cougar to keep them  in the game.

The Huskies will be at home Monday night against 
UCLA in a makeup  game followed by Oregon on
Thursday night and Oregon State Saturday afternoon.
The Huskies  have had  hard time against the Ducks 
in recent years. The Cougars will  take on Oregon State
Monday night  in Corvallis followed in Pullman on
Thursday night. End the regular season against the
Oregon Ducks Saturday afternoon in Pullman.

Gonzaga Bulldogs continuing being number one
in the country  beating San Francisco  89-73 on 
the road Thursday night. The Bulldogs had four 
players  in double digits  led by center Chet Holmgren 
with 21 points.  Also, had 15 rebounds. The Bulldogs 
have one game left against St. Mary's Saturday night.
