Mariners Win Again

Wednesday afternoon the Seattle 

beat the Minnesota Twins 5-3 and 

winning the road trip 5 out of 6.

Quite amazing since the first road

trip they didn't do so.

It looks like we are seeing the team

we expected for the 2026 season.

The Mariners now come home to

begin the month of the May.

Cole Young who we weren't sure

of to begin the season is hitting 

hit right now. He batted .500

on this road trip and he is hitting

well against lefties.  This really 

helps that they are platooning in

right field and  dh. With Brendan 

 Donovan being out they have

had to cover with Leo Rivas and

Will Wilson. Donovan is expected 

to be back when the Mariners get

home. 

Final Mariners 5  Twins 3

The game was tight most of the

game. JP Crawford hit a  solo 

home run  in the third inning.

The Twins scored two runs 

in the 4th.  Stayed that way until

the 7th. Cole Young hit a double 

tie the game scoring Canzone.

The Twins scored a run in the 

bottom of the 7th to lead by one.

Cole Young came up again

in the 9th.  George Arozarena 

and Leo Rivas who pinch run

for Canzone Young  hit a single 

to center scoring both. Munoz 

came in to get the save.

In the 8th inning Matt Brash came

in and threw only two pitches.

He came out with a possible 

injury. More will be known tomorrow.

Brash didn't think it was serious. 

He did understand why he was taken

out. 

George Kirby went five and two-thirds.

He left after walking his second batter. 

Bazardo came in to get the final out.

He started the 7th getting one out.

Jose Ferrer came in to get the final 

two outs. Gabe Speier came in

when Brash had to leave. He got 

two outs then Cooper Criswell 

came for the final out  score Munoz.

The Mariners end April being 16-16.

Bryan Woo will start Friday against

the Royals. We hope to see a better

game then what we saw in the last 

game.  Go M's. 

Mariners Even Series

The final was the Mariners winning 

7 to 1. The game didn't look that

way for most of it.

Logan Gilbert pitched only five

innings. When he left the Mariners 

were down one nothing. The M's 

tied in the top of sixth with a run.

Added another run in the seventh.

They added three in the 8th on a

Josh Naylor home run.  Add two 

more in the ninth.  Luis Garcia 

who pitched  for the Twins in

the 9th was just called up.

The Mariners used four relievers 

after Logan. Only gave up one hit

and no walks.  The Twins bullpen 

gave up five runs. 

Wednesday final of the series is

a day game.  George Kirby starts 

for the Mariners.

The Mariners are now 15-16

and in second place a game and

a half behind the A's. 

Washington State Cougars Men's Transfer Portal

The Washington State Cougars lost ten players to the transfer portal this off-

season which was all their primary 

players. 

At this time they have eight players 

who signed with the team.  Of the ten

who left only six have signed elsewhere.

The Cougars best player Ace Glass

has found a new home at Vanderbilt.

We will see how he does there next 

season. Not every team who loses 

players have had success elsewhere.

Take the Washington Huskies many

if their past transfers have not got 

ahead. A good reason stay where you

are at. Players who have had less

playtime then they  thought leave

to explore elsewhere. It doesn't 

mean it will be a success. There have

bren some who have transferred 

several times to. 

Here is the eight who have come to

WSU already.

Sebastian Akins a point guard is

now transfered for the third straight 

year. Last year he played at Wake 

Forest. He played in 18 games 

averaging  5.1 points and two

assists at 16 minutes per game.

Jaylen Harrell played one year 

at Providence. He is a swingman.

Though a good shooter making 36

percent in 3s  his defense is what

will make his mark as a  Cougar.

RJ Jones a shooting guard  transferred 

from TCU after being at Kansas State.

His first year at TCU he missed the full

season and last year only played in

right games. I am sure the Cougars 

hope his injuries are behind him. He

was the third player to sign with the 

Cougars.

Ronnie Harrison power forward 

transfer from East Texas State. 

This is his second transfer.

He was ETS leading scorer at

14.7 points a game and in rebounds 

at 6.1 per game. He played in 30

games last season.

Fraser Foxburgh small forward 

mentioned before was the first

player who transferred to WSU 

from Manhattan.

Lazarek Houston a point guard 

transfered from central Missouri.

He is known for his scoring 

averaging 20.8 points last season.

He was in the top ten in the country 

in shots made and in scoring.

Will be exciting to watch.

Jamari Phillips shooting guard 

from the Oregon Ducks. He only

played in 17 games last year for

the Duck averaging 13.3 minutes 

a game. He shoots 37 percent 

from the 3 point line. If he doesn't 

start for the Cougars he should

be good coming off the bench.

He shoots 80 percent from the

foul line and is athletic. 

Ladji Dembele power forward

transfer from  UNLV. He played

very little last year. See what

he can contribute for the Cougars.

It looks like the Cougars have done

well so far in the transfer portal.

See if they have any more pickups.

Go Cougs 

. Mariners Blown Out Monday Night

The Minnesota Twins had lost nine out 

of ten games heading into this game.

Luis Castillo has been struggling in

recent outings so the Twins were

looking to turn it around for at least 

one game. The weather was rain

going into it as well plus the Twins 

were starting a lefty. The Mariners 

are now 1-5 against them. The 

Mariners need to make some changes

when facing lefties as well as what 

they do with Luis Castillo who has

a career losing record on the road 

although has a 47-40 at home.

The Mariners expect to have Bryce

Miller back soon as he is on rehab

assignment pitching three times.

Emerson Hancock has pitched 

well. They would like to keep him

start pitching however where will

Bryce Miller fit in.  I don't see

sending either Hancock down.

I would like to see him in the

bullpen if he s me doesn't start for 

the Mariners for now.  This game

was another where the end of the

bullpen didn't work.

Final Twins 11 Mariners  4

Luis Castillo went five innings

giving up 7 runs. The Mariners 

didn't want to over use the

bullpen. Cole Wilcox got four 

outs in relief of Castillo. He 

gave up one run. Alex Hoppe 

finished the game for the

Mariners however gave up 

three runs. This was first 

outing after the M's dfa

Casey Leguimina then trade

him to Tampa Bay. 

We are not sure what the M's 

will do but Hancock needs 

to be on the team in some

way. By one outing we can't 

judge what Hoppe may do.

Cole Wilcox may not be the 

answer in the bullpen either 

in the long run. The Mariners 

do need another high leverage 

reliever though.

Cal Raleigh had another home

run though didn't make a 

difference  in this one. He has

now his 160th career home run

and is tied at number 7 with 

Alvin Davis on the Mariners 

all time list. We should see

him continue to go up. Where

he ends we will see. 

Tuesday Logan Gilbert will

start followed by George Kirby. 

The Mariners will be this coming

weekend. They will be honoring 

the Big Unit Saturday by retiring 

Randy Johnson number 51. 

Last year it was Ichiro number 51.

Go Mariners!

Mariners Sweep The Cardinals

The Mariners finally came through on

this road trip after struggling mightly 

before.

All three games were close however 

Mariners found a way to win. This is

much like last season.

Sunday final Mariners 3 Cardinals 2.

Road trips are usually hard to sweep 

as well as win the series.

Four runs were scored on solo

home runs.  St. Louis had a home run

in the bottom of the third then Cal

hit a home run to tie the game.

In the 6th Nathan church who hit

two home runs Saturday hit another

for the Cardinals.

Cole Young who has done quite 

well hit a single driving in Connor

Joe from second. At some point 

the Mariners may have to move 

him up in the lineup. Joe played 

first base today for Naylor. 

Rob Refsynder hit a home run

in the 9th to win the game. He 

pinch hit for Raley. Luke has 

struggled as of late, whether

he would have if he hit a few

more time it is hard to tell.

Emerson Hancock was able to go 

six innings for the Mariners though 

he had plenty of  runners onboard.

Gabe Speier got two outs in the 

7th with a walk. Bazardo got the 

final out on one pitch and faces 

three in the 8th. Jose Ferrer took

care of the 9th.

The Mariners are now 14-15 in

third place a game and a half 

behind the A's.  The Angel are 

three back and the Astros are

still struggling being four and 

a half.

The Mariners now go to Minnesota 

to take on Twins. They have a record 

of 14-16. They have lost nine of

their last ten games so maybe the

Mariners caught them at the right 

time . Go M's. 

Day Three Of NFL Draft 2026

The Seattle Seahawks were busy on

Saturday acquiring several draft picks.

 The first pick was acquired from the

 Cleveland Browns in Beau Stephens

a guard from Iowa in the fifth round.

The Seahawks are looking at adding 

depth and competition for the right 

guard spot.  Iowa had several players

drafted this year.

In round six the Seahawks selected

Emmanuel Henderson Jr. a wide

receiver from  Kansas who has a lot 

of speed. Most likely he will see

most of his action on special teams 

if he makes the team. He was acquired 

in  a trade with the New York Jets.

In the seventh round the Seahawks 

acquired three picks including the

first and in the round from the

Green Bay Packers. Both of these

are cornerbackd so be tough

competition. They are Andre Fuller 

from Toledo and Michael Dansby 

from Arizona. Sandwich between 

them was a defensive tackle acquired 

from the Jets picked in  Deven Eastern

from Minnesota. We wish them all

the best.

The Seahawks have signed already 

three undrafted college players so

let you know who they are and others

with notable names on Sunday.  

The draft pick of Stephens was for the

4th round pick in next draft. The Seahawks still have eleven picks for next year right 

now.. The two picks in the 7th round 

from the Packers was for the late sixth 

round. The two picks acquired from

the Jets was for an earlier sixth round 

pick. Go Hawks 

The San Francisco 49ers drafted 

two players from University of

Washington. Both players were 

selected in the 4th round. Offensive 

lineman Carvis Wills and cornerback 

Ephesians Prysock. 

In all the Washington Huskies had 

seven players drafted. Edge rusher 

Zach Durfee was the last one  in

the 7th round by Jacksonville.

The Washington State Cougars

Had only one player wide receiver 

De'Zhaun Stribling  by the San 

Francisco 49ers. He was the very 

first pick of the second round. 

Mariners Win Slugfest

Saturday afternoon we were not expecting 

a slugfest with Bryan Woo on the mound

however that happens..We just hope

an injury hasn't happened.

The Mariners have Bryce Miller coming 

back soon. We just hope this was just

an off day.. Woo was only able to go 

three innigs and gave up seven runs.

Final Mariners 11 Cardinals 9

The .Mariners used four relievers.

Jose Ferrer went two innings giving

up two hits, one walk however not

a run. Cooper Criswell went two 

innings as well but gave up three

runs. Mariners not doing too well 

late in innings when bringing in

a reliever like this. I am not sure

why they would do this. Brash 

and Munoz shut the door again.

The key hit was a single into

right center by Leo Rivas with

the bases loaded one out to

drive in the final two runs.

Will Wilson had a home run with

runner on base in the second inning.

It was on his first pitch in his first 

at bat in the majors. Wilson started 

at third base.  Rivas came in for

him after Canzone had pinch hit

and drove in a run two. The 9th

sot in the order drove in five runs.

Julio Rodriguez hit a home run in 

the first inning with Cal on base

 Unfortunately the Cardinals tied

it with two home runs in the bottom 

of first. Cole Young hsd three hits

including a home run. Every hitter

got at least one hit except Luke 

Raley who pinch hit for Refsynder.

Connor Joe had a good hit to

late in the gym when he went

in for Raley. 

We hope that the Mariners can

sweep the Cardinals on Sunday.

Emerson Hancock will go for the 

Mariners.  Go M's 

Washington Huskies Jonah

Coleman was drafted by the 

Denver Broncos in the fourth 

round at running back  The

Huskies had a few others 

drafted too. We will let you 

know they went as well. Go 

Hawks
