Mariners Lose Both Games

The Seattle Mariners had split squads on Thursday and lost both games. 

Game one was on the against the

Texas Rangers..The Mariners were

shutout 8-0.

The Mariners had only five hits.

Randy Arozarena had one hit, 

while Tyler Locklear and Harry

Ford had two hits. All three 

started the game. Locklear

had two doubles which is a

good sign.

Diaz who started went two 

innings, giving up four hits

and one run. All rest relievers 

who likely won't be on the team.

Mariners used six relievers.

Gsme two was at Peoria

where the Mariners lost 6-4

to the Giants. The Mariners scored their first run in the fourth inning.

The other three in the seventh.

The Giants scored four in the

fifth inning and two more in

the eight.  Bryce Miller started

and went one and two-thirds.

He didn't allow a hit or run.

He walked one and struck out

three. A good for a first start.

The Mariners had five in this 

one to though scored for runs.

Ryan Bliss competing for second

base  had a triple which drove

in a run.

Mariners take on the Padres

on Friday. Bryan Woo will

start his first game. 

We will keep you up to date here.

Gonzaga Beats Santa Clara

On Tuesday the Zags beat Santa Clara

after losing to St. Mary's. The score

was 95-76. Something else when

both teams are having good seasons.

It might not be there last one either.

Four of the Zags starters scored

in double figures. Graham Ike who is having a very good season led with

24 points. Khalif Battle in his only

season had 21.

The Zags play San Francisco Dons

on Saturday. This will make a 

placement in the WCC tournament coming up.

Next up will be how the Mariners 

did in split squad games.

Huskies Lose On Road Again

Washington Huskies had another 

tough road loss at Wisconsin

88-62 on Tuesday night.

Great Osobor was the only one

who scored in double figures

at 11 points. He has been the

Huskies top rebounder to however

Wisconsin allowed him to have

only two.

The Huskies other starters had one

shot away to have double figures

too. Wisconsin didn't shoot well

from three point line however did

very well otherwise. Wisconsin

is third in the Big Ten behind 

Michigan State and Michigan.

The Huskies will be home Saturday

afternoon against Indiana who

are ninth in the Big Ten.

Spring training the Mariners lost to 

the A's 8-5. They scored four in

the ninth. George Kirby started and

went one inning on Wednesday.

The Mariners have first split squad

games. Diaz who opened the first

spring will pitch against the Rangers.

Bryce Miller will make his first

start in Peoria against the Giants

on Thursday. Go M's.

Mariners Win Third Straight

It is only spring training however

the Mariners won their third in

a row after losing first two games.

Also 4th in a row scoring double

digits as well.

What I like to say is save some of

the runs for the regular season.

Mariners 11 Dodgers 5

The Mariner scored four runs in the

second inning after the Dodgers 

had a single run in the bottom

of the first. That is a good sign. 

The big inning was the seventh

when they got six to put the

Dodgers away. A good way if

they can do some of that in the

regular season.

So far Mitch Garver is having a

good spring. He had a home run

to help spure the Mariners on.

Luis Castillo started his first time

 and went one and two-thirds.

He gave up one run in the first

which was unearned. Mariners

used nine relievers. Two gave

up two runs each. Most of these 

guys won't make the team out of

Tuesday's game.

Cole Young was at dh again as

he has an injury. It would be nice

to.see two youngsters to make 

the team though few spots available.

Mariners Score Big Late Monday

Spring traianing  is  where wins and

runs scored don't have a lot meaning

right now. What want to see how 

some of the veterans are doing and

top prospects.

The Mariners won Monday afternoon

against Milwaukee 12-8. The Brewers

had a 7-1 lead when the Mariners came

storming back when they scored six

runs in the sixth inning. The add two and three runs in the seventh and eighth.  This has do with youngsters pitching and hitting.

Mitch Haniger had his first play in

a game where he hit a home run

in the sixth inning while playing

right field. We hope he stays healthy

and does well on the season. One 

of the Mariners top prospects Lazaro

Montes took Hanigers spot. He

hit a three-run homer in the 8th.

He walked twice before that so

scored three times. Odd to see

a line like this with one official

at bat with three runs scored and

three RBIs. Lazaro hss a lot of talent

and personality like Julio. The 

Mariners hope he makes it in the

next couple years like Julio. He is

20 years old.

Harry Ford came in and dh .

He had a hit, scoring once

and drove in two runs. It

would be nice to see him 

make the roster sometime

this season or next. It does

take some talented prospects

take the time.  Ford is athletic

enough to play besides catcher.

The Mariners pitched nine relievers

after Logan Gilbert started. Logan 

went into the second though Manager

Dan Wilson took him out. At this

stage it is how many pitches

he will throw. Logan might go

full two innings next time or three

depending on the pitch count.

We will see a lot of relievers for

the first couple weeks as well as

position players until they start

cutting down.

The Mariners regular season will

start on Thursday March 27 at

home against the A's. It is odd

not to put Oakland in front of

it as they play their home games

in Sacramento.

Around March 20 the Mariners 

will be down to a fewer group.

The ones that are still trying 

making it. The 20th the Mariners

won't have a game. They will

have four preseason games

remaining after that. The last

one will be on the 24th at San

Diego taking on the Padres. 

They will likely have the squad

set that day. May see some

minor leaguers in that game.

Tge series against the A's will

be four games. They follow

with three at home against

the Detroit Tigers. After that

a road game series against

the San Francisco Giants.

They will come back home for

a three game series against

the Astros and Rangers with

a day off between the two.

They will imbark on their

first long road trip. Go M's.

Mariners Outfielder Dominic Canzone

Dominic Canzone looks good so far hitting the ball in the two games

he has started in right field.

We know spring training is early.

It is almost a month before the

season starts. The Mariners 

don't have much room on the

roster so might be hard for

Dominic to make the team. 

Last year he was sent down to

Tacoma after making the opening

day roster. Dominic was not 

hitting left handed pitching.

At the plate he looked lost

against them. His best chance

is to hit much better. 

Dominic has power and hitting

left handed in T-Mobile park is

a good thing. Making the Mariners

would mean he would be the dh

against righties and in the field

when the starting outfielders need

a rest. He can play first base as

well so if Luke Raley needed a 

day off or wasn't healthy he could

play there.

We wish Dominic the best since

he would be value to the Mariners

if he can hit OK against lefties

though he will start against righties

most of the time. Go M's. 

Mariners Get First Win Of Spring

It took until game three for the

Mariners to get first win. It was

a plastic as they score a lot 

of runs again however the

pitching was better until late 

in the game.

Emerson Hancock made his first

start of the spring and he went 

One and two-thirds inning giving

up one run. The Mariners used

ten relievers with two giving up

runs. The Diamondbacks scored

two more runs in the 8th and 9th

each. The Mariners scored six in

the second inning and went on

a role from there. Luis F. Castillo

the other one had trouble in the

8th inning. 

The Mariners had mostly the

same guys starting like in

game one. Cal was dh while

Garver was catching this time.

Garver had two hits while Cal

had one. Dominic Canzone hit 

well again with two hits. He is

going to make it hard on the

Mariners to send him down 

at least at this point.

The final was M's 11 Arizona 5

Monday Logan Gilbert will make 

his first start against Milwaukee.

They will have several relievers

who were on the team last year

going as well. Go M's
