Mariners Bounce Back

First of all  Cal Raleigh went on the
injured list.  Mitch Garver started 
on Friday. He actually hit a home 
with a runner on base. The score at 
the became 5-1.

Final Mariners 8. Astros 3

Julio Rodriguez  had no hits on
the day however the rest of the
lineup made up for him. Julio
has had a good month hitting
so an off day is ok especially like 
this.

Luke Raley started off hitting a
three run homer in the first inning
followed by Mitch Garver's. It 
would be nice if the Mariners 
could start Raley some games 
against lefties. He might not hit
lefties well however he won't get
better if he doesn't face any. 

Cole Young hit a double to bring
in the next two runs and JP Crawford 
with the final run on a double too.
This tells me the Mariners don't have 
always hit home runs to score.

Alvarez hit a home run in the third
inning for the Astros first run.  
Before he was taken out in the 
6th inning Luis Castillo gave up 
two runs on a double that Alvarez 
scored on again. Outside of that
Castillo pitched well. If he and
Miller peggy back on each other
should he start and Miller come
in. Being a long time starter 
Castillo get the chance. I could see
him go five innings and Miller four.
It could be the other way around 
depending on the game. 

Emerson Hancock will start Friday
at home against the San Diego 
Padres. Logan Gilbert will start 
Saturday and George Kirby Sunday.
They take on the White Sox at home
Monday thru Wednesday. Go M's.


 






The Seahawks Defense Into 2026

The Seahawks lost three players from
the defense however done replacing 
that hope to be be better.

All pro Devon Witherspoon is now 
listed as the left cornerback instead
of nickelback. Depending on downs 
he could be seen at linebacker as well.
The Seahawks will look that they won't 
have to rush in  other players. Versatility 
among players. 

Nick Emmanawori who had a great 
rookie season last year is now listed
at nickelback but will be seen other
positions as well.  Josh Jobe who 
played a lot at safety last year is now
listed at right cornerback. Julian Neal 
drafted third round is listed as his back 
up.

Julian Love will start at strong safety 
with Rodney Thomas his backup.
Ty Okada who started 11 games last year 
will start at free safety. Second round
pick Bud Clark is listed as his backup.

Earnest Jones will again be the middle 
linebacker. Patrick O'Connell will be his
backup. Uchenna Nwosu be the strong 
side linebacker  and Derrick Hall his
backup.  Drake Thomas who had a good
season will be weakeside linebacker.
Tyrice Knight former starter will be his
backup.

On the defensive line at defensive end
will be Leonhard Williams. Mike Morris
moves to the outside to be his backup.
DeMarcus Lawrence will be on the 
other side called Rushing position.
Dante Fowler Jr. recently signed is
listed as the backup.

Byron Murphy II will be the nose tackle
and Brandon Pili over from the Dolphins 
will be his backup. Jarran Reed again will
be the defensive tackle with Rylie Mills
who played late last year out of Notre 
Dame is listed as his backup. News is
that he could play some on the outside 
too.

The Seahawks win the Super Bowl 
again the defense will be a major reason.
Go Hawks!

Mariners Lose Wednesday Night

It took the Astros ten innings to
beat the Mariners 4-3. The Mariners 
had runners on bases in the top of
the tenth but we're not able to score
a run so gave the Astros chance to 
score only one run to win.

JP Crawford hit a home run to lead
of the game. Luke Raley hit a homer
in the second. The Astros scored 
three runs before Julio Rodriguez 
was able to tie the game in the top 
of the 9th with two outs walking on
3-2 pitch. 

Bryce Miller in his first major league 
start of the season gave up two runs
in five and one - third innings.  The 
Mariners used six relievers giving 
up four hits only.  The Mariners 
really lost for lack of hitting and 
coaching.  Go M's.

Mariners Beat Struggling Astros Again

For the second game in a row the 
Mariners beat the Astros on Tuesday 
night 10-2.

The Mariners scored two runs on
a home run by Randy Arozarena in
the second inning. The Astros 
bounced back with a run in the 
bottom of the second and  third.

Dominic Canzone hit a grand slam 
in the 4th inning his career first.
The Mariners added a run in the 
5th and 7th plus two in the 9th
for good measure. Arozarena 
went four for four and four runs. 
Good news on the Cal Raleigh 
side as he had two hits while
scoring three times. 

Bryan Woo went six innings 
before Alex Hoppe came in
for two innings. With the big
lead along with throwing over
a hundred pitches was enough 
for Woo. Hoppe gave up no
hits and struck out two. He 
seems  like the real thing. 
Domingo Gonzalez who was
activated taking Jose Ferrer
spot while on paternity leave.
Most likely return when the 
Mariners come home on Friday.

Bryce Miller is expected to
start Wednesday night against
the Astros for the first time of
the season. Not only should 
Ferrer be reactivated on Friday 
Matt Brash is expected to come
off the injured list. Go M's. 



 

Look At Seahawks Tight Ends and Offensive Line

NFL teams are more going with
three tight ends on occasion. 
How often we will see with the
Seahawks will find out.  It will
likely be done in short yardage.
AJ Barner will be the number 
one tight end and be in mostly 
on passing downs. He has shown
to be a good receiver.  

The number two tight end right 
now listed is  Eric Shaubert who
made some important catches 
last year. Elijah Arroyo a rookie
last year as a second pick  missed
some time with injuries could be
number two though listed at 
number three right now. These
three could give some surprises.
 
The offensive line will be interesting.
The left tackle and guard will likely 
stay the same as far as the starters.
Charles Cross at left tackle while
last year's number one pick Grey
Zabel at left guard. This year's 
fifth round pick Beau Stephens 
is listed as his backup. The right
guard spot has shown some down
grade so we could see him on that 
side as a starter or a backup as well.

At the right tackle will be former
Washington State Cougar  Abraham 
Lucas. Last year he was healthy 
unlike a couple bad years so that 
is good news. Amari Kight is his
backup.  Anthony Bradford is the
current starter at right guard however
that spot could change. His backup
is Christian Haynes  who has been a disappointment and this is where 
Beau Stephens comes in where he
could play right tackle.  Offensive 
lineman can be interchangeable 
however Cross, Zabel and Lucas 
should stay the same. At some 
point center could be Zabel's best
spot but that could be another 
year or two.

.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!
