Spring Training Full Open

All the players should be in camp

beginning on Monday. The first

preseason game will be on Friday

against the San Diego Padres.

The regular season begins at home

on March 26 against the Cleveland 

Guardians followed by the New York

Yankees. The first road trip will be

at the California Angels followed 

by Texas Rangers beginning on April 

2. 

Those who want to know the World 

Baseball Classic begins on March 5

and ends with the championship on

March 17. The Dominican Republic 

being one of the favorites Julio 

Rodriguez might be the last to return 

to training camp.

The pitchers and catchers started last 

week last year's number one pick Kade

Anderson is getting great reviews. He 

might not spend much time in the minors.

Ryan Sloan the number two picks in 2025

is having a great camp as well. It will be 

interesting to see what the rotation will

look in 2027.

As far as position players fans will want 

to watch newcomer Brendan Donovan 

along with Colt Emerson number one pick

in 2023.  Brendan Donovan likely will

start at third base unless Emerson makes

the club. If that happens then we will see

Donovan play some third along with second and the two corner outfields. 

Cole Young is expected to start at second.

All three Donovan, Emerson and Young 

hit left handed. Emerson makes the team 

he likely will backup JP Crawford. What we 

do know Donovan will be in the lineup most 

games. 

We will get up more on the Mariners 

as spring training goes and the season.

Let you know who the best player of each game and any other news happening. We keep up to date on the Seahawks off season.

Seahawks Hire Offensive Coordinator

There was thought that the Seahawks 

would hire within the organization 

for the offensive coordinator with

possible of four offensive coaches 

however it looks like it won't be the 

case.

It looks like division rival San Francisco 

49ers tight end coach Brian Fleury.

He is credited in making George Kittle

the tight end he is.  So the Seahawks 

will look at improving the running 

game. This last season teams like

the Rams used three tight ends at 

times.  We could see the Seahawks 

do more of the same though they

began the season using a fullback.

Rookie Robbie Ouzts was the starter 

however he played in 12 games so

it was used in limits. If he can stay

healthy next season that would help.

Brady Russell was the backup however

he is best on special teams and used

some as the third tight end. 

AJ Barner was the Seahawks primary 

tight end being second in receptions

to wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

He had the loan offensive touchdown

in the Superbowl. We see what his 

approvement next season. Could have

some good catches like Kittle. 

At this point don't know the status

of Ken Walker III however the Seahawks

likely try to keep him. If they can't 

sign him to a multi year contract 

they can put the franchise tag on him. 

Zach Charbonnett is expect out 

for some of next season the Seahawks 

could look at drafting a running back

as well. 

News is that quarterback coach

Andrew Janocko is going to the 

Las Vegas as offensive coordinator 

to be with Klint Kubiak. He to

interviewed for the same position 

with the Seahawks. Now we see

who might be the next Seahawks 

qb coach and whether other

offensive coaches stay or not. 

Go Hawks!

Gonzaga Beats Santa Clara On the Road

It isn't ever easy to win on the road

however the Zags were able to though

got off to a slow start. 

The Zags had four players who scored 

in double figures with three having 20 

points or more. Graham Ike led again 

with 21 points and dominated the 

boards with 15.

The Zags shot 56.7 percent from the

floor though not well in 3 point shots

at just over 16 percent. Nice to know 

they realize that. Another area needing

improvement is foul shots where they

made 19 of 29.  Making 66 points  inside

helped them a lot.  This where they need 

to do when they go against good teams.

The Zags are now back at the top of

the West Coast Conference at 13-1.

Santa Clara is 13-2 with both losses

against the Zags. St. Mary's is 12-2.

Gonzaga's  next game will be at

home on Wednesday against San

Francisco. The Dons are struggling 

this season however doesn't take

them lightly. The regular season 

ends on February where they

face St.Marys so should be another 

great game. After the Dons they play

Pacific and Portland who they have

the only loss. Go Zags. 

Washington Huskies Men's Beat Minnesota

The Washington Huskies went pretty much

with their starters beating Minnesota at

home  69-57.

Forward Hannes Steinbach had another 

big game this time scoring 26 points 

along with 9 rebounds.  He  made  12

of 17 from the field.  Zoom Diallo was 

the only other one to score in double 

figure with 17.  In total the two scored

43 out of the Huskies 69 points.

The Huskies were without Bryson 

Tucker. He has started most of the 

games he has been in. The Huskies 

went with three guards as Quimari 

Peterson started with Diallo and

Wesley Yates. Peterson and Yates 

each had only five points.

Freshman Courtland Muldrew was

the main one off the bench going 21 

minutes.A guard has only played 12 

games. He had 6 points and five 

rebounds.

The Huskies were able to make 

63 percent of their field goals

and the main reason they won 

although they dominated in 

rebounds  with 27 to Minnesota 

18.

The Huskies have a week off

as far as play going  next 

Saturday at Maryland which 

is a winnable game. 

We hope Tucker will be back for

that one. We hope to Wesley 

Yates will be feeling better.

Currently Santa Clara is ahead 

of Gonzaga by five in the second

half. We see how it goes. Go Zags. 

Seahawks News As of Now

Now that we have the parade after

the Seahawks won the Super Bowl 

they have signed 15 future contracts 

and their offensive coordinator Klint 

Kubiak is now the head coach the

Las Vegas Raiders who will be the

Seahawks new OC. This will be a

credical signing for sure. 

Conner Senger pass game specialist

for the Arizona Cardinals is one guy

who the Seahawks looking at. So far 

the only candidate being interviewed 

outside the Seahawks coaching staff.

They are interviewing four coaches 

already in the organization.Since the

Seahawks want to continue in the

running game as part of the offense 

it will be interesting to see how much

Senger is on the running game.

Justin Outten who is a strong candidate 

within was considered to go to the

Raiders was declined to be interviewed 

for a job with them.  He is an assistant 

line coach/running game specialist so

a good thing. We will see if any coach 

on the Seahawks actually go to the Raiders.

The Seahawks hired former Baltimore 

Ravens defensive coach Zachary Orr

to be inside linebacker coach. Orr

actually replaced Mike MacDonald 

as defensive coordinator with the

Ravens. With head coach John Harbaugh

fired after losing in the playoffs.

Harbaugh now is the head coach of

the New York Giants. 

Stay tuned to find out who the next

offensive coordinator will be.

Go Hawks!

Seattle Mariners Future Look Like

This coming season the roster looks 

pretty solid though a spot in the bullpen 

could make a difference and so on

the bench.

Next year 2027 could look something 

different. The Mariners starting rotation 

is  set this season unless injuries

happen. Next year the rotation could

change.  Lefty Anderson the Mariners 

number one draft pick how long will

it take him to be in the rotation. He

was the best lefty in college baseball 

last year and he could crack the rotation

Since the Mariners starters are all

righties this year that would be nice.

So does that mean the end of veteran 

Luis Castillo. May come down to his

season this year..

Ryan Sloan right handed pitchers who

was drafted in the second round out

of high school in 2024 could be ready 

or close to it. Whose spot would he take.

George Kirby could be the guy. It depends 

whether would trade him or not.  Logan Gilbert and Bran Woo seem to be the 

top two pitchers in the rotation. 

As far as the infield talk will be about

newcomer Brendan Donovan and number

one prospect Colt Emerson  to see if he

makes the team out of spring training.

Even if he is not should be on the ball 

club at some point.

So this comes to 2027 the Mariners 

msy have several young ball players 

on the ball club.  We first let's see 

how 2026 goes. We are all hoping 

that the Mariners make the World 

Series. The five to six weeks will be

interesting. Go M's.

Washington Huskies Lose Again At Home

The Washington Huskies were upset

st home in a low scoring game to

Penn State 63-60. This means the 

Huskies will need to win almost all

their remaining games to make the

NCAA tournament. This was Penn

State first win on the road in Big Ten 

play.

Freshmen Hannes Steinbach led

the Huskies with 19 points and

14 rebounds. Steinbach likely 

will go to the NBA after one season.

Wesley Yates was the only other

player for the Huskies to score in

double figures with 11 points. They

played mostly with six players.

The Huskies shot only 37.7 percent

and was the main reason they lost.

The Huskies will play Minnesota 

at home on Saturday.   Minnesota 

lost at home on Sunday to Maryland 

however they will be more rested 

than the Huskies. Go Dawgs!
