Washington Huskies Hannes Steinbach

We didn't know much about Steinbach 

a year ago. He was an incoming 

freshman.

Steinbach came to Washington Huskies 

from Germany.  He had an outstanding 

freshman season that allowed him to

enter the NBA. 

Steinbach is the first Huskies to be

drafted in the first round since Isaiah 

Stewart who left after his freshman 

season.

Steinbach was a bright spot for a team

that had a lot of injuries this last season 

The Huskies looked like they could babe

a better team with those returning however

several key players decided to go through

the transfer portal so Huskies had to do

the same. They would have had to add

more anyway but more then they planned.

Back to Steinbach he was drafted #14

by the Charlotte  Hornets. He averaged

and led the Huskies with 18.5 points

and 11.8 rebounds which was the highest 

in division 1 basketball. We wish him tge

best in the NBA. Go Dawgs!

Mariners Blown Out In Pittsburgh

The Mariners won Tuesday night in

Pittsburgh 3-2.     Cal Raleigh hit

a solo home run and later Cole 

Young with a two run home run

in his hometown. George Kirby 

went six innings ging up eight

hits and the two runs. Andre Munoz 

finished off with his best relief in

a few years. He threw over 100

mph and struck out all three batters.

Wednesday night wasnt the same.

The Pirates won 11-1 over Mariners.

Bryan Woo has had a tough month 

pitching on the road. Like most of

the Mariners starters he is fine at

home.His era in the four games he

has pitched this month is over nine. 

Woo's worst inning was his last one 

in the fourth whe he gave five runs.

The Pirates record is little below the

Mariners but if you look at their lineup

they have better batting averages 

throughout.  

Michael Rucker who was called up

during the last road trip came in

the fifth and he went two innings

giving up two hits, no runs or balls

and struck out three.

Davila came in for an inning however

gave up four hits and four runs.

Hoppe game in the 8th giving up

three bits and two runs. Davila and Hoppe

started the season in triple A Tacoma.

They have both looked good at times 

but others not so good like tonight.

Bryce Miller starts Thursday after in

tbe final of this three game series.

He has pitched well so far after starting 

the season on the injured. We hope for

another good one to win the series.

The Mariners one run came in the

first inning when Julio Rodriguez 

drove in JP Crawford. 

The A'S, Astros and Rangers are all

two  and a half games behind the 

Mariners. They need to go on a good 

streak to get more distance. Go M's.

Washington Huskies Have To look Everywhere

The Washington Huskies voice on radio 

Tony Castricone is moving on. He is 

going to the NFL on radio for the Tampa Bay 

Buccaneers. 

I enjoyed Tony when I did listen to

the radio. Can't blame a guy when he

is promoted. Now it will be interesting 

eho the new voice will be. There will

be some good local broadcasters 

who could take his place. We wish him 

the best.

Look At the Seahawks Wide Receivers Now.

The Seahawks begin training camp on 

July 17. Just a few weeks away

The strength of thr Seahawks is there

wide receivers  on the offense. It is

important to have a good running game to setup the pass.

I am sure Jaxon Smith-Njiba will have 

another good season though possibly 

not as many yards.  Rashid Shaheed 

will be the number two receive. The 

Seahawks will make plays to setup his

speed. He will do some kick returns 

and kickoff. Cooper Kupp will be the

third recriver. He will  make some critical 

catches.  Tory Horton who missed a lot 

of play last season as a rookie the Seahawks 

hope he can contribute more this yesr.

Jake Bobo be back and will make a few 

catches that could be touchdowns and

also on special teams. Seahawks picked

up Irvin Charles from the Jets. Special 

teams is where we see him most. 

Go Hawks!

Mariners Win Father's Day

For the third game in a row the Mariners 

faced a lefty starter who they have had 

trouble all season long. 

Final Mariners 3 Red Sox 1

It ended the home stand  3-3 though 

they lost this series.

Dominic Canzone hit a home run in

the second inning. Nate Eaton tied it 

in the third inning for the Red Sox.

Cole Young singled in newcomer Weston 

Wilson. Canzone grounded out in the 6th

inning scoring Julio Rodriguez for the final 

run. Canzone who has been platooning 

most of the season and not facing a  lot

against lefties.  The Mariners had  six hits 

which was better than the previous two 

games when had two each.

Logan Gilbert pitched well gor the second 

time in a row. He gave up only three hits.

Logan went six and one-thirds innings. 

He gave up three hits altogether with

two walks and eight strike outs. Gabe

Speier came in throwing heat to get the

other two outs. 

Eduardo Bazardo pitched the 8th with out

surrendering a hit and strick out one. Andre Munoz pitched the 9th giving up a hit

and striking out one.

The Mariners will play thr Pittsburgh Pirates 

fot three games starting on Tuesday .

The Mariners have a 40-39 record and the

Pirates are 39-39. The Mariners have a slight 

edge at home while Pirates are about the

same st homr and the road.

The Mariners had a difficult time on the

last road trip however they hsve bounced

bsck before so hope the same this time.

George Kirby will stsrt on Tuesday. Not sure 

that is a piggy back or not yet. If so then 

Bryan Woo would likely follow him.

Cole Young is from Pittsburgh so be his

first appearance in front of family and

friends. Randy Arozarena will be going

on the road trip. He is about about  to

come off the injured list. It is obvious 

his bat has been missed.

There is a possibility at least one move 

will be made before this road trip. Go M's.

Saturday Night Lose Again

The Seattle Mariners lost to the Red Sox 

once again this time 5-1 and it looked

a lot like Friday's game.

The Mariners had only two hits once

again.  Both were in the first inning 

and then went dry. JP Crawford back 

at third walked then Cal Raleigh singled.

Julio forced out Cal then  Naylor singled 

in JP. That was all that happened for the

Mariners. 

Emerson Hancock pitched well the

first three  innings however gave up

a two run homer in the 5th. The 6th

inning was tough for Hancock. He 

ended up loading the bases. Jose

Ferrer came in and gave up two hits 

anf three runs scored. 

Now we see if the Mariners can hit 

on Sunday and not be swept. 

News is that Randy Arozarena eill

be going on the trip to Pittsburgh.

We hope he is in the lineup. They

certainly have missed him. Go M's. 

. Mariners Sink Friday

This weekend the Mariners are facing

three lefties starting on Friday.

They lost 6-2 on Friday to the Boston 

Red Sox.

The Red Sox are having a bad season 

mainly at home. The Red Sox are now

18-18 on the road. The Mariners are

not facing starting left handers very well. 

They are hitting .216 before this game. 

Now 9-12 against lefties. 

The Red Sox starter Ranger Suarez

pitched a no-hitter into the seventh 

inning.  He gave up his only hit to

Josh Naylor a left handed who hits

lefties good. He walked Cal Raleigh 

a couple times. JP Crawford pinch 

hit with bases loaded however struck 

out and leaving the runners  on. 

Bryce Miller pitched well once again 

however gave up a home run in the 

second inning.  He went five innings

giving up three hits including the 

home run. No walks and seven strike

outs.

Luis Castillo came in the six inning.

Got that inning easily. In the 7th

not so much. The Red Sox ended 

up scoring four runs that inning.

It wasn't  like they were hitting 

hard they just got through the infield.

He did fine in the 8th but gave up 

another run in the 9th. 

The Mariners scored two runs in

the 9th when Cal walked then 

Julio hit a home run  to center field. 

That was it and the ball game. 

Emerson Hancock will start on

Saturday and Logan Gilbert on

Sunday.

The likelihood is George Kirby and

Bryan Woo will piggy back  on the next

start.  Emerson Hancock and Logan

Gilbert after that. They will start it 

over again too. 

A surprise move Miles Mastrobuino 

was dfa dince he is out of options 

and the Mariners brought up utility 

player  Weston Wilson who they

recently signed to a minor league 

contract. He had been released by

the Orioles. He played third base 

as JP Crawford didn't start. See what 

happens tomorrow.

In the afternoon next store United States 

beat Australia 2-0. Things are good for 

USA at the moment in the World Cup.

Home of the Seahawks was loud as

we expect. Go USA
