.Mariners Win In Houston

The Seattle Mariners were able to

win Monday evening in Houston 

in game one 3 to 1.

George Kirby looked good even though 

he was only able to go five innings. 

He gave up the one run in the fifth

inning. The four relievers did a

good job just giving up one hit. 

The Mariners scored two runs in

the second inning with back to 

back hits by Canzone and Cole 

Young driving in Arozarena and

Luke Raley.  Julio hit a massive 

home run in the third inning  for

the last run. He missed a home run 

in the first inning as the ball just

went foul to left field.

 Cal Raleigh  continues to struggle 

at the plate without getting a hit

however his swing did look good 

though. We hope he gets out of it

on Tuesday.  Bryan Woo will

start Tuesday.  Go M's. 

Seahawks Depth Chart Heading Into 2026

We are looking at the Seahawks offense

first here. Sam Arnold stays as the number

one quarterback. I expect if he has a

season lije  this last one he will get a

new extension. Drew Lock is number 2

at this point. Last year as a rookie Jalen

Milroe played sparingly and may do so 

again. His legs are a strong point so we

could see him come in sometimes when

the Seahawks are in the red zone. He could be used in short downs to as a change up.

Zach Charbonnett and Ken Walker III 

had about the same amount of carries

last season. While Zach won't be on the

team when the season begins number 

one draft pick Jadarian Price most likely 

will share time with free agent Emmanuel Wilson or George Holani who has always looked good in preseason games.  Both 

likely to run much like Charbonnett.   According to head coach Mike MacDonald Price will work with every unit.

The Seahawks will likely go with a

fullback once again. Robbie Ouzts 

is listed as the starting  fullback. 

He was hurt some of last  year. 

His important job is to block

for the running back however we 

will see him run once in a while as 

a change up. Brady Russell is listed

as his backup however could see 

him some at tight end and especially 

on special teams. 

At wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba 

will be the number one guy. Jake 

Bobo is listed as his number two.

Rashid Shaheed who signed a big

contract as he became a free agent

will be on the other side. He likely 

be the high playmaker as well as

punt returner.  Tory Horton is listed

as  Shaheed backup at both spots.

We could see him some on punt

returns to keep Shaheed healthy.

Don't be surprised to Shaheed do

some runs as well.  

Cooper Kupp will be the third receiver.

We may see him make maybe three

catches a game however he is shown

as a good blocker and he is a coach

on the field too. Sixth round pick 

Emmanuel Henderson Jr is listed 

as his backup. See how that works

out.

Next time we will look at the tight 

ends as well as the offensive line.

Go Hawks!

Mariners Give Up Another Game Sunday

The Seattle Mariners could have or

should have swept the White Sox

instead they lost 2-1.

Logan Gilbert pitched a fantastic 

game giving up just one hi. Also

he had 16 straight outs to end his

time in the game after six innings. 

The Mariners scored their one run

in the first inning when Randy Aroza-

rena drove in Julio.  In the seventh 

inning Connor Joe hit a double then

JP moved him to third out on a ground

out.  Rob Refsynder pinch hitting for

Canzone struck out. Again this shows 

me that using Refsynder in this situation 

is not working.  Cole Young flied out.

The White Sox got their two runs in

the bottom of the 8th with a home run

and a sacrifice fly. 

The White Sox had five hits while the

Mariners had seven. Now the Mariners 

go play the Astros for four games.

We hope they play better. 

Mariners Lose Saturday Evening

The Seattle Mariners continue to

have trouble hitting against lefties.

Also Luis Castillo still trouble 

pitching as well.

Final White Sox 6 Mariners 1

Luis Castillo gave up a two run homer

in the first inning and another in the

third inning.  He lasted only four innings.

The only run was when Mitch Garver 

walked then came home on a Refsynder 

sacrifice fly.  Though he isn't hitting

well in limited action he continues 

to be willing to walk.  We do hope 

Refsynder starts to hit soon too. He

is playing sparingly as well however

as a veteran he should be used to it.

Leo Rivas was back at third base.

I expect right now the Mariners 

are trying to use him against 

righties.  We hope he is able 

to play more often soon.

My thinking is the Mariners need

to pick up another right handed 

back.

Bryce Miller is expected to start 

on Wednesday. There looks like

the two might piggy back on 

each other though not the first

round this coming week. Whether

Castillo will start and Bryce come 

in after a few innings or possibly 

the other way around. We will

find out. How it affects the other

starters we will see too. 

The minor leaguers are pitching

once a week at this time. So 

this could be normal in the future.

I like the old days when there were

four starters. The Mariners though

have had five solid starters so for

this team makes sense. 

For minor leaguers they look so

injuries won't happen as often.

This is especially true for pitchers 

who pitched in college where they

throw a lot of innings. 

The Mariners will go to seven  

relievers for the meantime. Not

sure however one will be sent 

down to the minors if they have

options to do so.

Go M's. 

Mariners Win Opening Game On Road Trip

The Seattle Mariners started out well 

however let the White Sox back into the 

game. Final Mariners 12  White Sox 8

Luke Raley was the player of the game 

having his first grand slam of his career.

Unfortunately Emerson Hancock wasn't 

able to keep the lead. Later Raley had

a three run homer. He was one run 

short in tying for driving in the most

run in a game. 

Josh Naylor had a great game to having 

three hits and had a three run homer later

after Raley's. Arozarena had three hits 

too. Julio had a home run too.

Luis Castillo should start on Saturday.

We see how he does whether to get

better. Go M's. 

When Should The Mariners Make a Trade

We know the Seattle Mariners will 

likely trade at the deadline however

should they before the deadline.

We know the Mariners are struggling 

against left handed hitting. It is

interesting that Cole Young is the

best hitter against lefties this season 

and he bats left-handed and he is

in his first full season. 

Rob Refsynder has been a disappointment 

so far in this season hitting .140. The

Mariners have had trouble with acquiring 

right handed bats the last several years 

to platoon or pinch hit. Refsynder has 

had a poor history pinch so I have no

idea why they use him that way.  

Connor Joe is the other right handed

bat at the moment. Victor Robles is

doing a rehab assignment right now.

Not sure when he will be back however 

Joe will likely be sent down. Does this

mean that the Mariners should look to 

make a trade for a right handed bat

that is hitting well right now. 

Bryce Miller is about to return after

doing multiple rehab pitching. What 

does that mean to the rotation. One

story I heard is that they will do back

to back. What does that mean. It

sounds like starting Luis Castillo 

will start and go four or five innings 

then Bryce Miller will come in. This

could mean for one game in every 

five the bullpen will have a day off.

One reliever like Munoz or Jose Ferrer 

could pitch the 9th inning depending 

on the score.

Luis Castillo is currently the 5th

starter and how Emerson Hancock 

has been pitching this is a good

idea. This maybe better than going

to a six man rotation. In either

case the Mariners will have seven

in the bullpen. Having this would 

be better than going to a six man

rotation. 

Even if the Mariners don't pick up 

another right handed bat now June 

or July will be a good time. All

comes down to their record. If

they can have a good record in

May then waiting until July might

be the best.

Brendan Donovan is expected back 

Friday. This means they will go back

to two catchers likely and Rivas will

be the utility player which he can do

better. We hope for a good road trip.

The White Sox are doing better than

the last few years however are beatable 

for the Mariners to win two out of three.

The Mariners should have a good time

in Houston as the Astros are still 

having injury trouble so if the  M's

can take three out of four would be

good.  Go M's. 

Washington Huskies Football Heading Into 2026

All depending on the poll the Washington Huskies are in the top 25 or just outside 

of it.  

The Huskies have a young team. They

have 25 freshman and 14 transfers.

Last year they had a good impact by

freshman so we will see how they do

in their second year. 

Of the transfer the one with the most 

to have an impact is running back 

Jayden Limar. Whether he starts 

or is number two should see good

action. Another is Christian Moss 

wide receiver and he missed the spring

training. Until the season starts we 

will look at other players who could

make a difference.

The Washington State Cougars had

to do a major overhaul when new 

head coach Kirby Moore onboard.

They have 9 offensive and 17 defensive 

players.  

The Cougars are expected to be one of 

the top teams in the new Pac-12 with

Oregon State and Boise State who

joins in. The Broncos have always been

a good team in the Mountain West.

The Cougars have always been a good team

throwing the ball and hope to continue 

the history in that regard. It is getting the

running game going and having a good 

defense. How the Cougars season goes

will have to come down to the defense.

The Cougars have three quarterbacks

competing for the job so we will see

who comes out the winner initially. 

Both schools men's basketball lost

players in the transfer portal. The

Huskies have done well replacing 

guys so we see how they do. The

Cougars will likely have more trouble

doing so. For one they will have to

compete with state rival Gonzaga 

for players in the same conference 

as well as the Huskies. Depending

on the players the Cougars are likely 

number three. 

We will see how all three go in basketball 

as well as Huskies and Cougars in

football. Go teams.
