Another Loss By the Mariners

For the second game in a row the Mariners 

lost to the Padres 7-4. It really wasn't that

close until the Mariners rallied in the 8th 

inning.

Logan Gilbert struggled giving up three 

home runs. The first home run was in the

second but the Mariners couldn't get

any runs themselves. The big inning for

the Padres was the 4th win they scored 

four runs including a three run homer 

the first of the season he gave up. Prior

to that Gilbert had given up solo home 

runs.

The Mariners kept Logan in the game 

until the seventh inning with two outs

 he gave up a two run homer.  Outside

the three home runs be only gave up 

one run.  I expect the Mariners wanted

to keep the bullpen fresh. 

Manager Dan Wilson was rejected from

the game before Logan was taken out.

He argued when a Padre check swing 

was not called a strike. Though it

didn't allow the Mariners to win I do 

home that puts the players in a place 

to win several games in a row. Go M's.

Seattle Mariners Shut Out

The Seattle Mariners were shut out

by the San Diego Padres Friday 2-0.

The Mariners continue nothing being

able to beat the Padres this season.

Hopefully they will turn it around

Saturday and Sunday.

The Mariners have shown they can

score a lot of runs however it has

been inconsistent. Cal Raleigh 

though he hasn't hit well yet was

out in the injured list for ten days.

They still don't know how serious

Cal's injury is but they are hoping

the ten days will give him enough

time. 

The Mariners will have him around 

this weekend however he is expected 

go go to Arizona for a few days as well.

He may work on his hitting if he can.

The question is how will they be without 

him.

It took the Padres until the 4th inning

go score the first run on a double.

The second run was in the 7th inning 

on a ground to Josh Naylor.

The .stoners had seven hits. Randy Arozarena had two which keeps him on a good pace 

howe dr they couldn't take advantage of it.

Also Cole Young had two hits. Randy is now

hitting .301 and Cole is at .248 and has 24 rbis. If he keeps that rate he will drive in 

a lot of runs.  In fact if he doesn't play in

all the Mariners games at this rate he will

have 88 rbis at the end of the season.

I know fans have to be confused still

as Connor Joe and Rob Refsynder both

pinched hit. Joe had a walk however 

Refsynder went 0 for 2. No matter what

the data says how Raley and Canzone 

hit against lefties right now it isn't working.

The Mariners should change things up for at least a short period. 

The other three hits in the game were by

Brendan Donovan, Josh Naylor and Canzone.

This is another question if Canzone has a hit

already why not keep him the game. 

Besides giving up the one run Emerson Hancock was able to go six innings. He

only walked one batter. Cooper Criswell 

went an inning and gave up a run.  Jose

Ferrer and Alex Hoppe both went an

inning giving up no runs and giving the

Mariners.

Now we will see how they do on Saturday.

Go M's. 

Seattle Seahawks 2026 Schedule

The  Seahawks have six prime time

games on this coming season.

The preseason will begin on August 

15 against the Dallas Cowboys at

home. They play them again in week

right after Thanksgiving.

This might be a tough schedule however

durable. Go Hawks. 

How 2025 former Mariners Are Doing Now

Ss we know the ones best known 

Eugenio Suarez is with the Cincinnati 

Reds who he played for before being 

traded to the Mariners the first. Eugenio 

though hurt right now and on injured list.

The same goes for Jorge Polanco with 

the Mets.  Harry Ford traded to the

Nationals for Jose Ferrer is currently 

at triple A and hasn't gotten off to a

good start like he had in Tacoma year.

The Mariners had 31 pitchers last

year so many that are not on the

roster this year we wouldn't remember 

some of them.  The second Luis Castillo 

is one to remember. After the Mariners

he went to the Orioles. He now is pitching 

in Mexico.

Trent Thirton who had some success 

in the Mariners bullpen before being

hurt last year and missing the rest of

the season. He was signed by the  Chicago Cubs after the Mariners didn't tender

him a contract. He has only pitched in 

three games so far all in May and hasn't 

given up a run yet.

Collin Snider who had a very good season 

for the Mariners in 2024 where he began 

coming in games early digressed in 2025

and sent to Tacoma is in the minor leagues

this year for the Chicago Cubs. I hope he 

makes his way back to the majors.

Caleb Ferguson who the Mariners picked

up at the trading deline last year as a second

lefty to Gabe Speier signed with the Cincinnati Reds is currently on rehab assignment. They

hope hin to be a good lefty out of the bullpen 

for them. 

Gregory Santos who the Mariners acquired 

before the 2024 season  however the two years he spent primarily on the injured list.

The Mariners were hoping him to match up with Matt Brash in the late innings which

now has gone to Eduardo Bazardo. He is

now in the San Francisco Giants organization.

He briefly was up this season. Hopefully 

he can stay healthy and be the reliever 

the Mariners thought he would be.

Tayler Saucedo who was with the Seattle 

Mariners and was a local who grew up 

being a Mariners fan had success with

the Mariners his first two years as a lefty

out of the bullpen. Last year he didn't 

have the same success and spent time

in Tacoma. He was a fan favorite so

people will always remember him. He

signed a free agent contract with the

Angels during the off season.  He has

only pitched in one game for the Angels 

so we see how he does  in the future.

We hope that some point we will see 

him pitch against the Mariners.

Now look at the Seattle Mariners infield.

Dylan Moore  who spent just over six and 

a half seasons with the Mariners primarily 

as a utility player. Though his bat for the

Mariners for the most part wasn't great 

his fielding and versatility playing every 

infield and outfield. With the injuries the

Mariners had and not a lot of depth in

the outfield he was valuable in that way.

His second season he had his best season 

hitting hose rr never lasted where he could

be an everyday player especially at second

base where he tried to be a starter. In

2024 he got an award with gold glove 

as the utility player.  In 2025 he played

88 games for the Mariners before he was

released and played the rest of the season 

with the Rangers.  He had a good start 

hitting in 2025 his bat went silent after 

hitting well the first month. His defense

wasn't as good either. This season he 

began with the Phillies however he was 

out on waivers after not getting any hits

on a team that is struggling in its self.

He is now in their triple A team after

going through waivers. We to hope he

finds his way back to the majors.

Ben Williamson who came up early 

in the season as a rookie in 2025

played exceptional defense at third

base before the Mariners traded for

Eugenio Suarez at the trading deadline.

His offense wasn't as much as the M's 

wanted as far as power goes.  In

January 2026 Ben was traded in the 

three team swap to acquire Brendan

Donovan from the Cardinals.  Ben

went to Tampa Bay where he is playing

more second than third however still

playing good defense.  I am sure it

would be nice to have his defense at

third acquiring Donovan was  a good 

thing. The Mariners number one prospect

Colt Emerson will likely be the Mariners

future third baseman though could be

at short depending the future of JP

Crawford who is in the final year of

his contract.  Donovan maybe the M's 

super utility player in the long run.

Rowdy Tellez  was the left handed hitting 

platoon in 2025 at first base and dh. 

Injuries to Like Raley had him play more

at first base.  Rowdy had 11 home runs 

for the Mariners but his batting average 

was disappointing. After waivers he 

played for the Rangers. Although his

batting average was higher his home 

runs dropped off. He currently playing 

for the Atlanta Braves triple A team.

Donovan Solano was the right handed

platoon startingsst season for the M's.

For several seasons the Mariners have had

trouble signing a right handed bat for

success.  This year Rob Refsynder has

been a disappointment. The Mariners 

do hope he does turn things around.

This experience shows the Mariners 

shouldn't go in this direction again. 

Solano at this time isn't playing in the

major leagues. 

Leody Taveras  who the  Mariners 

acquired from the Texas Rangers 

last season because of injuries 

to Victor Robles and Luke Raley

played 28 games batting .198 

before being sent to triple A Tacoma.

This year he is playing for the Orioles.

Though he has only two home runs

in 36 games he is hitting .248.

Those are some of the players who played time for the 2025 season.  Go M's. 

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.
