Good Pitching But Another Loss. Seahawks Draft on Saturday

For the second game on this road

trip the Mariners had a great pitching

performance but they couldn't get

it done offensively. 

The Mariners brought up pitcher Easton

McGee from Tacoma to start instead of

Chris Flexen who is now back in bullpen.

McGee pitched a fantastic game not giving

up a hit until two outs in the seventh

inning. Certainly saved their bullpen.

Toronto score a run in the 10th inning 

with the bases loaded. Final 1-0

The Mariners had six hits on the day

but the Blue Jays scored having only

three hits. Left fielder Daulton Varsho

had the most important hit of the game.

Julio had to leave the game in the sixth

inning with tightness in his back after

sliding into second base for a steal. I

wonder if Julio will have to go into

the more conventional way.  Manager

Scott Servais doesn't think it is bsd.

Have to see Sunday. The Mariners 

do have Monday off too.

The Seahawks on day three drafted

three offensive and three defensive

players. I expect the best available

on their draft board.

First fourth round pick was guard 

Anthony Bradford from LS U. Defensive

tackle Cameron Young out of Mississippi

State was the second pick in the fourth

round. They drafted two players from

Michigan.in the fifth round. Defensive

tackle Mike Morris and center Olusegun

Oluwatimi. The sixth round picked

safety Jerrick Reed from New Mexico.

In the final round running back Kenny

McIntosh out of Georgia

The Seahawks drafted two running

backs along with two defensive

tackles and ends. The Seahawks could

have at least three starters or more

out of this draft. 

The Washington Huskies had no

players drafted however linebacker

Can Bright signed as a undrafted

college free agent. The Seahawks

have signed quite a few college 

fee agents so we will see what

other familiar names come their

ways. Also where other Huskies

end up going.
