Mariners Blown Out Tuesday Night

Not much to say in this game.  Not only

the hitting is lacking once again the

Mariners pitching was terrible to.

We just hope this one a one time deal 

in this series.  We wonder if there will

be a shakeup when they return home

after Thursday's game.

Bryce Miller was reported having blisters 

on his hands. Sounds like still effecting 

him. Is it time to put him on the injured

list.Besides a team underperforming 

injuries have been a problem too.

Final was Brewers 22 Mariners 0

Mariners actually had a chance to score 

s run in the first inning. Brendan Donovan 

reached third base with one out but they.

could bring him home.  The Brewers were 

able to do in the bottom of the inning.

The Brewers five runs in the 5th and Miller 

was replaced with two outs. Josh Simpson 

came and gave up five more in the 6th.

The Brewers scored two in the 7th and

then infielderro Rivas pitched in the 8th.

He surrender nine runs.  

time 

The Brewers starter went five in then

gave to the bullpen. Makes a lot of sense.

Until next go M's. 

The Latest On Mariners Colt Emerson

Last Friday the Mariners were going

go to send Mariners top prospect

down to triple A Tacoma as he was

struggling at the plate.  Instead the

Mariners put in the ten day injured 

list because of his left wrist.

It has come to light the Colt originally 

injured the wrist back during spring

training. Amazing that the could 

perform as well as he could until the

last month or so.

Now has come out Colt will likely 

need to have surgery on the wrist.

He will be done for the season.

At least this point he should be

ready to go when spring training 

starts. He should still be considered 

the Mariners starting shortstop.

Right now Brock Rodden who came up

for him on Friday will be the starting 

shortstop.  There is no news when 

JP Crawford will return from the 

injured. He has the same injury 

as Colt. Besides   Rodden at shortstop 

Leo Rivas would be his backup when

Rodden would need a day off.  

For the time being Brendan Donovan 

is the Mariners third baseman. If the

Mariners need to give Donovan a day 

off Weston Wilson will be the one 

playing.  Wilson can play first base

if Naylor needs a day off as well.

Rivas can play  third or second base

as well.  

Ryan Bliss who is playing for the Rainiers 

would be the next guy up if the Mariners 

need someone if another shortstop is

injured. He can play second base too. 

Taylor Ward hasn't played for the Mariners 

for the past four games. He is currently 

day to day recoveryfrom injury. We see if

he is in the lineup  Tuesday against the

Milwaukee Brewers. Go M's. 

Mariners Kade Anderson and more

Kade Anderson the Mariners number one

pick and third overall in 2025 has dominated 

double A in his first professional season. 

Anderson has been taken care of the Mariners

pitching once a week.  He has 18 starts just 

over five innings per start.  His record is 10-1 with

a 1.06 era. He has given up only four home runs 

on the season.  His next scheduled start hasn't 

been announced. There is thought he might be 

up soon. He is considered the Mariners 6th

starter so if anyone goes down he is next up.

On Friday the Mariners brought up Brock

Rodden. The thought was Colt Emerson 

would be sent to Tacoma instead was placed 

on the injured list. Most likely to Tacoma when

he gets off the injured list. Rodden had three 

hits in his first three games over the weekend.

In Fridays game he drive in two runs though the 

Mariners lost in extra innings. He might be

the spark the Mariners need. 

Ryan Sloan the Mariners number two draft pick

in 2024 and the Mariners number two prospect

got off to a slow start on the season. He has

pitched about the same as Anderson but not

at the same level. There is thought he may

come up September when the Mariners expand

the roster. The Mariners could use him out

of the bullpen. We will really see how that goes.

Michael Arroyo  began the season at double A 

as well however recently was called up to Tacoma.

There was thought that he might be called up

to Tacoma but in this instance he doesn't play shortstop.Most of his minor league career has been at second  base.  This year though he has played

some left field as well.  He could still be called up

in September. 

Lazaro Montes outfielder starter in double A

and was called to Tacoma when Arroyo was. 

He got off to a slow start with the Rainers 

however he is hitting .288 which is slightly 

above Arroyo. He has ten home runs so far

triple A after hitting 25 in double A.  He is

a powered hitter.  Playing at T-Mobile Park 

being a left handed hitter will benefit him. 

At this point it is hard to know whether 

the Mariners will make the playoffs or 

not. They are four games behind the Astros

after winning this series over the weekend.

They start a series in Milwaukee on Tuesday.

The  Brewers having a very good season 

and we know how the Mariners have been 

playing. So it is still wait and see with them.

If the Mariners don't make the playoffs 

there is thought that manager Dan Wilson 

will be fired.  If so who will be the next

manager?  There is thought that Rodden

and Arroyo will be on the roster as well

as Colt Emerson.  Montes could be in

the mix in the outfield and dh. The other.

question will they make a trade during

the off-season. Stay tune and see what

happens. Go M's. 

 

Washinton State Scrimmage

The Washington State Cougars football team

had their first scrimmage on Saturday too.

Both coordinators like the fact that are starting 

to form their own identity.

Still no news who the starting quarterback 

will be however the offense should be good

like former Cougar teams. 

They ran only 76 plays compared to what the

Huskies did but that doesn't matter as long as 

you get out what you want to do.

The success of the Cougars will come down 

to their defense.  Having a lot of new players

with new coaches makes the time right now

difficult. See what happens over the season. 

The Oregon State Fesvers are going through

the same. These two are the only remaining 

teams from the Pac-12.

Boise State one of the newcomers to the 

Pac-12 have always had good teams. In 

the past played will against the teams in

the conference whether they won or not.

They are expected to win the Pac-12 this

year so be interesting to see how it goes

and whether the Pac-12 will be good.

Go Cougars. 

Seattle Wins Series Against Astros

Sunday evening on national television 

the Seattle Mariners beat the Astros 

3-2. 

The Mariners haven't done well when

scoring three runs or less.  I fact a bit 

earlier in the season the Mariners 

scored no more than three runs in

12 straight games. I know the fans have 

been frustrated as well as the players. 

This wasn't a clear cut win either. 

The was some tough times like when

Josh Naylor hit a hard one with runners 

on base right to the first baseman who caught

it.  

Cal Raleigh who has struggled at  the plate 

hit a home run in the 6th inning. Seeing

Josh Naylor on the bench since he was 

stealing third base after stealing second. 

That would have made it a two run lead 

which would have been easier.

Earlier in the game Brock Rodden had.

another hit for the third straight game.

He scored as  well. He is being a spark 

plug.  He had a walk as well. 

Not sure when JP Crawford will return. 

I expect  he will play some shortstop 

though he could still play some third base.

I expect that Colt Emerson will go to

Tacoma  when he gets off the injured list.

Now the Mariners are going to play the

Milwaukee   rewers for three games on

the road beginning on Tuesday. Go M's.

Washington Huskies Fall Scrimmage On Saturday

Head coach Jeff Fisch liked the depth of Huskies

team as they ran 125 plays. It was the  defense 

that most shined.

Fisch reallyijed the Huskies starting safeties. 

Alex McLaughlin was used all over over the.

field much like Devon Witherspoon. The other 

safety was Rylon Dillard- Allen.  Fisch said they

are two of the best safeties he has seen and 

pointed out three former play in the NFL right

now. What he likes most is their speed.

Playing in the Big Ten like against Indiana, Oregon 

and Michigan it is important to have s good defense.

Hopefully they will cause some turn overs. 

The Huskies were without the Hatchet  brothers

on the offensive line who rehabbing however let others get in some good play time.

The Huskies will have another scrimmage 

before their opening game in three weeks 

against the Washington State Cougars.

Even if you are a big favorite as the Huskies

are you don't want to take them lightly. 

The first game in Big Ten is the last Saturday 

in September so you want to be ready for them.

Go Dawgs. 

Seahawks lose Preseason Opener However A Win

Preseason games don't really mean a lot 

in the whole scene of things.  The Dallas 

Cowboys beat the Seahawks 17-7. 

Drew Lock started the game then Jalen Milroe 

came in the second quarter. Lock  played the

third while Milroe did the 4th.

Lock was able to have use of some starters 

but Milroe did not.   The Seahawks scored

first then it was Cowboys the rest of the way. 

At least Milroe was able to get them in field

goal range in the second quarter but it was 

missed.  The score was 10-7 at the half. 

The Seahawks had eight penalties on the

day which was better than the Cowboys 

although most were holding calls. Milroe

was sacked like three times and he should 

have thrown the ball. I expect his next game

he will be better at it.  He showed his

running ability on several occasions including

a 20 yard run. 

The good news was that cornerback Devon

Witherspoon was signed to a four year extension 

for $132 million. Of that $101 million is guaranteed. 

He has an option for a fifth year. He will be the

highest paid cornerback in the NFL  right now

anyway.  Go Hawks.
