Mariners Walkoff In 10th

The Mariners usually win easily 

when they are leading 5-1 in the 

sixth inning. It wasn't the case 

Friday night. 

George Kirby pitched well into

the sixth inning but got runners

on base. Arizona scored four 

runs to tie. Matt Brash had his

first bad outing on the season. 

Arizona bad s chance for more

but the Mariners got out of it.

In the bottom of the sixth the

Mariners took a lead with Luke 

Raley  run. Up to that point JP

Crawford was the guy hitting

a lead off home run in the first

and a two run homer in the 5th.

It his first career game with two

home runs. 

The Diamondbacks tied in the 

9th off of Munoz who struggled 

too.  The Mariners were able to 

get out of the 10th without giving

up a run.  With Julio and Naylor 

on the bases Arozarena who has

been hot lately hit a double  to

score Julio for the win.

Though it was enough runs by the

offense it was tough for  the pitching.

Winning the opener of the series 

anyway will help the Mariners to

win the series.

Bryan Woo will start Saturday. Go M's. 

Seahawks Sign First Round Pick

Friday the Seahawks signed Jadarian Price 

to a four year contract at $16.8 million.

The first round pick and the last in the 

in the round. 

Price contract is fully guaranteed. He was

the last of the Seahawks draft picks to

be signed.  The amount is already set

on where the player is set in the draft.

The question is how it is paid.  Price

received a signing bonus included.

This week in ota Price and George Holani 

each spent time with the first and second

units. Who exactly will start is not determined yet when the season starts.  The chances

are it will be Price.  

Until he was hurt Zach Charbonnett shared

equal time playing with Kenneth Walker III.

This likely will happen with these two

as well when the season begins.

Price and Holani both will get about the

same amount of carries. Being a man

of speed Price will get some carries on

the outside. How productive the fullback 

is he will get runs up the middle. Holani

will likely get carries when it is third and

short. The Seahawks new offensive coordinator came from the 49ers where

they used the fullback to run the ball some

to and the Seahawks will give them a few

carries as well. Price is good at receiving 

so he will get a few catches. Holani might

if he is able too.  

The Mariners haven't used the preseason 

to use starters a lot however in  this instance 

they will get at least some carries. We will see backups get some time as well. Whoever is

the third running back may get possibly five

carries a game depending on how healthy 

these two stay.  Go Hawks.

Seahawks Make A Trade This Week

The Seahawks had a very good special teams last year which helped them to the win the

Super Bowl.

Most fans don't look at special teams 

in that way however beating the 49ers

twice it certainly got them off to a good 

starts. Not only did the defense cause 

turnovers so did the special teams. 

Block field goals and punts can do the job.

The Seahawks acquired Irvin Charles 

a special teams specialist they acquired 

from the New York Jets for a 2028 7th 

round pick. It is interesting to send a 

pick for two years from now and the last 

round as well. 

Depending on the Seahawks needs next

April they could made a trade with it. The

Seahawks have 11 picks next year so not

a dire need. With those amount of picks

they may look to move up in some rounds. 

Charles is listed as a wide receiver but

it will be his special teams that they did

acquire. The Seahawks also resigned

Jake Bobo who is a special teams player.

Bobo again will be the strong of receivers.

Speed is an important part of special 

teams. 

Charles I never heard of but most special 

team players I don't unless they are punt

or kick off returners.  They are usually 

guys that are good receivers too.  

We will see whether the Seahawks will

make any other moves or not.  Go Hawks.

College and NFL Schedules Change

The Washington Huskies announced the

opening game against the WSU Cougars

at Husky Stadium was changed to Sunday

September 6th. 

The Seahawks opening the NFL season 

against the Patriots on September 9 which 

is a Wednesday. 

High school games are on Thursday 

and Friday.  Now the NFL has games 

on Thursday.  The  NFL doesn't have 

games on Saturday until the college 

season isn't over.  Now conferences 

like the Big Ten now have games on

Friday so all games are watched on 

their network or national networks. 

This all comes down to money and

Networks.

It looks  to me  that every day of the

week during football we will have 

football games.  The Seahawks -

Patriots game might be the only

one this season but we could see

games on Tuesday which is the

only day left. More games put  on

live streaming which means more

money to. Fortunately all Seahawks 

games are shown regionally. Not

likely with Huskies. 

Sports fans now have to pay more

money to see games. Hopefully 

things will work out. 

Look at the Everett Acqua Sox

The Acqua Sox are the top Mariners

Single A team.  Like Mariners they

are one gave under five hundred 

23-24. They have struggled lately

with a 3-7 record in their last ten games.

They are in third place In the Northwest 

League.

As far as pitching goes they have only

one that is in the team's top 30 prospects 

in Lucas Kelly a right handed reliever.

So far he is on rockie ground in his 

second season of professional ball. He 

was drafted  in the sixth round by the  Mariners in 2025. Lucas has struck almost two batters per inning in 12 games however

 a walk an  inning as well. So wildest as 

well as giving hits and an  era of 6.28.  The Mariners seen potential when drafting him however see if he can improve. 

As far as position players go the one with

the best season for Everett is  Felinin 

Celsten the number seven prospect at 

shortstop. He was signed as an international 

player. He had been hurt much of the last

two years however this been a very good 

season for him. He recently was on a 25

game hitting streak coming three games

short of the Northwest League all-time 

record and batting over .400.

Felinin is a switch hitter with power mostly 

from the left side.  He won't be known for

hitting a lot of home runs however could hit

a lot of doubles. If Colt Emerson spends 

his career at Seattle playing a lot of third

base Felinin could be his partner at shortstop.

Another prospect  is outfielder Jonney Formelo the sixth top prospect. Like 

Felinin he has been hurt as well. He is

currently hitting .246 however has a 

good on base percentage at .374. Only

has four home runs. His defense in the

outfield is good and he is a left handed 

bat and was drafted 29 overall out of

high school in 2023. See how he matures.

Luke Stevenson catcher out of North

Carolina is a left handed hitting catcher 

the 35th overall pick last season reminds

many in the Mariners organization like

another Cal Raleigh as far as catching and

hitting. He is the Mariners number 8

prospect. He currently is hitting.260 and 

although only three home runs he does

have 13 doubles. He has a good on base

percentage of .429. 

We will let you know how these top

prospects go and any others elsewhere.

Mariners Sweep and More

It has been a rough start to the Mariners 

season facing left handed pitching.

The A's figured they could take the 

series throwing two lefties against 

the Mariners. Well it backfired. 

Wednesday afternoon Mariners 9 A's 1

Rob Refsynder who has struggled so far

this season with an average around .100

many of us saying why is he still on the

team. 

On Tuesday evening Refsynder had

a single that helped them to get

going. Now on Wednesday he hit a

three run homer in the first inning 

to get the Mariners jumpstarted. 

Refsynder is a ways to have a decent 

batting average but he could get

going now. Figuring left handed

pitching could get the monkey off

their back. 

The Mariners are now 28-29 and

now first place in the American 

League West. The Mariners have

Thursday off before playing Arizona 

and the New York Mets at home. 

If they can win both series they

could have a bit of a lead against

rest of the division.

Colt Emerson hit a triple driving in

two runs in the 4th inning.  In the 

sixth inning he ground into an out

but a run scored. In the 8th Julio

hit a three run homer and Emerson 

had singled. Cole Young was part

of it too.  The future looks bright. 

Logan Gilbert pitched well for the

third start in a row. He went six

innings  giving up five hits, two walks

and six strikeouts.  He continues 

this way be good for the Mariners 

too.  Go M's. 

Mariner Beat the A's Again

The Mariners Tuesday evening best the

A's for the second straight time winning 4-1.

The A's decided to start a rookie left 

handed pitcher since the Mariners are 

not hitting well against them.

The Mariners scored three runs to take

the early lead in the second inning. 

Mitch Garver hit a double scoring 

Josh Naylor. Rob Refsynder who hasn't 

hit very well on the season had a single 

so went to third. He scored on a sacrifice 

fly by Cole Young. Garver who made it

to third scored on a sacrifice fly by

JP Crawford too.

The Mariners scored their final run

in the 4th inning when Julio hit a

single scoring Victor Robles who

recently was activated from the injured

list.  Robles went three for three. 

The Mariners face a lefty again tomorrow 

afternoon so Robles should be in the

lineup again. 

The A's scored their lone run on a

homer in the 9th inning.

Emerson Hancock continues to be

one of the  Mariners to starters 

going six innings giving up one hit

and two walks. He was pitching a

no-hitter until the fifth inning.

The Mariners have a chance to sweep

the A's on Wednesday afternoon.

If they do so then they will be in

first place by a half game. Logan Gilbert 

will start. Go M's.
