Mariners Win Wednesday Afternoon

The Mariners were able to come back

after being swept by the KC Royals 

over the last weekend. They beat the

Braves the best record in the major

leagues taking the first and last game 

of the series.

Cal dh once  again drove in the first

run in the third inning while playing 

into a double play. He didn't get a

hit at all. Is he still hurting that bad.

At least he gets a day off tomorrow.

Julio who has been hitting well of

late hit a home run in the 6th inning.

Bryan Woo came back after a couple 

bad outings to shutout the Braves 

over six innings. 

Cooper Criswell did fine pitching the

seventh. Bazardo struggled in the 8th 

giving up three hits however only gave

up one run to make it a close game.

Cole Young who leads the Mariners in

runs batted in had his 20th driving

Josh Naylor in with a double from

second in the 8th. 

Jose Ferrer pitched the 9th in his 

third outing straight against the

Braves.  He received the save.

He seems to be the guy the Mariners 

can use if Munoz is rested. Ferrer

is the key lefty now while Speier is

on the injured list.

Final Mariners 3  Braves 1

The Mariners have Thursday off

then play the Chicago White Sox 

Friday thru Sunday on the road.  

Next week Monday thru Thursday 

they play the Astros in Houston.

The  Mariners are now second place

a game a half behind the Athletics.

Go M's.

Mariners Lose By One

The Mariners seem to play a lot

of one run games so far this 

season. They won .Monday night

however the Braves did so Tuesday.

George Kirby pitched well giving up

two runs in the 4th inning on a double.

He went seven innings. The Mariners 

scored two before the Braves did in

bottom of the third. JP Crawford hit

another two run homer with Mitch

Garver on with a walk.

The game was tied until the 9th.

Matt Olson hit  a solo homer off

Andre Munoz.   The Mariners need

to find a way not allow their own

pitchers not to give up home runs.

The Mariners and Braves play 

Wednesday afternoon to see who 

takes  the series.  Bryan Woo will 

see if he can rebound from his

last two starts and the hitting

gets going too. 

The Mariners had Cal Raleigh back 

being  dh. He went hitless though.

Go M's. 

Seahawks Rookie Camp

Friday and Saturday the Seahawks had their 

minicamp for rookies and othereho showed up.

First round pick  Jadarian Price showed

his speed in the drills. Also showed that

he can catch the ball coming out of the 

back field. 

Last year the fullbacks didn't get as much

action because of injuries. The Seahawks 

new offensive coordinator came over from

the 49ers. They use full backs to so be

interesting to see how the Seahawks do

this coming season. When Zach Charbonnett 

gets back the Seahawks could use him

and Price in the backfield at the same

time on occasion. 

Bud Clark second pick and Julian Neal 

third round pick both defensive backs

showed how good they are in coverage.

Beau Stephens the next pick is seen

to be important guy at guard. He

was seen both at right and left guard

in practice. Most likely not a starter

he will be valuable as a backup.

Sixth round pick wide receiver Emmanuel Henderson Jr showed his good speed.

Making the roster though will come down

to special teams.

Marvin Jones Jr.  edge rusher was the 

most impressive of the undrafted free 

agents with his speed.  He looks like he 

maybe a keeper.  

We will see how things go in the next

mini camp. Go Hawks.

Mariners End Skid

It wasn't easy to however the Mariners 

ended their three game losing streak. 

With injuries piling on top of that. 

Final  Mariners 5   Braves  4

The Mariners really needed this win.

Again they were without  Cal Raleigh.

Not being specific he has soreness 

on his right side. We see whether he 

will be back on Tuesday or they put

him on the injured list. 

Logan Gilbert  went six innings.

He gave up a home run leading.

off the game then did fine until

the sixth inning where he gave

up three home runs with the last

two back to back leading 4-0. 

I wonder if Logan telegraphs 

his pitches since most of his

runs always are give up on home

runs. 

In the bottom of the sixth JR Ritchie

a rookie who happens to have been

born in Seattle and went to Bainbridge 

High School. He walked Arozarena 

and Canzone when Luke Raley hit

a three run homer which made it

promising.   The Braves lifted Ritchie 

with no outs.  Mitch Garver walked 

and after getting Leo Rivas out  JP

Crawford had a two run home run 

to take the lead.

Jose Ferrer came in the seventh 

recording  although he did give up 

a single he started the eighth 

getting one out. Eduardo Bazardo 

got the final two outs  though he did

give up a hit. Munoz came in the 9th

and recorded the save. 

Tuesday George Kirby will start 

for the Mariners. The Mariners 

before the game had to put reliever 

Gabe Speier on the injured list 

with inflammation to his left shoulder.

The Mariners activated lefty Jose

Suarez who they had claimed on 

waivers from the Braves. Also they

brought back up lefty Josh Simpson 

who they had just sent down without 

seeing any action. Cole Wilcox was

sent down in that move. The Mariners 

 now have three lefties to cover while

Speier is out for now. Go M's. 

Mariners Are Swept

The Mariners were swept by the Royals

losing 4-1. This was all after going 5-1 

on the last road trip.

Luis Castillo gave up four runs in six innings.

The Mariners scored in the third inning 

with Josh  Naylor on a force out.

Things went bad in the 4th inning when

the Royals loaded the bases before scoring

three runs. He gave up the final run in the 6th

inning. 

The only plus was the Mariners were able

to get through the last three innings 

without using high leverage relievers.

Now they take on the Atlanta Braves 

beginning withogan Gilbert. It will

be nice if the Mariners will be able to

game at least two games. Not sure 

yet when Cal will be back in the lineup.

Go M's. 

Another Disappointing Loss

The Mariners lost again to the Royals

by one run 3-2. This reminds me 

some of Randy Johnson losses

as a Mariner on a night they retired

his number 51.

Emerson Hancock pitched a great

game giving up one run in seven 

innings. The story is greater he 

struck out 14 batters and didn't 

walk a batter.

The Mariners were leading 2-1 

when Emerson left the game. 

The Royals scored a run to

tie on an error by Julio that 

doesn't happen often in the

9th. The Royals scored on

a sacrifice fly in the 10th 

The Mariners couldn't match

it. 

Now the Mariners are expected

to start Luis Castillo. We hope

he turns things around enough

for the win.

No reason why however Cal Raleigh 

was scratched from the game. 

We should know more on Sunday. 

Go M's. 

Mariners Lose Friday Night

The Seattle Mariners lost to the 

Royals in the opening game of

this three game series. 

Final Royals 7 Mariners 6

Bryan Woo struggled in the first

inning giving up four runs and

then two runs in the sixth. 

Julio Rodriguez had two two run 

homers in the game. The last

one tied the game.  

Besides Woo the Mariners faced

another lefty.  Still only one win.

Refsynder wasn't in the lineup. 

He is day to day. 

Matt Brash went on the injured

list. The Mariners brought up

lefty Josh Simpson from Tacoma.

Emerson Hancock will go Saturday.

Go M's.
