Washington Huskies Men's Basketball Roster Now

The Washington Huskies Men's Basketball for

the coming season is all set now. Recently 

news said they and the Cougars won't have 

a regular season game.  The Cougars have

a new Pac-12 schedule and the two teams 

couldn't come to an agreement. They will

play sn exhibition game in October though.

The  Huskies have all tgeir players on

campus to work out.  They have only six

returnees from last year with five  transfer 

players from the portal. This includes Harun

Zrno who recently came from Rutgers so

he knows all about playing in the Big Ten.

Wesley Yates III is the  big name  returning

this year. He should be the primary guard 

on the team. 

The trouble with Huskies not having a

good season was injuries.  Hanes Steinbach 

the teams best player as a freshman was

as a lottery pick by Carolina in the NBA. Should 

have a good  season. 

We hope all the new guys along with some

foreign players will bring success this season.

Go Dawgs!

 

Mariners Offense Dies Down

Mariners offense came alive Tuesday 

however Wednesday more of we have

seen the lsst two months. Hopefully they 

can win Thursday to take the series.

Bryce Miller was expected to start 

Thursday against the Dodgers but 

the Mariners decided to move   him

back a day for rest. Bryan Woo 

in his last start didn't pitch well 

against the Rangers is going to start 

Wednesday.  

Wednesday Final Dodger 4 Mariners 2

Emerson Hancock went five innings

giving up three runs on eight hits.

He had one walk and five strike outs.

The Dodgers had  a run in the 1st, 3rd,

4th and 6th inning. The Mariners used

their low leverage relievers in the last

three innings. It has been what they

have done for a while being down 

three runs or more  when the bullpen 

comes in.  

The Mariners scored finally in the 8th

when Cole Young drove in Weston 

Wilson for the first run.  Josh Naylor 

hit a double scoring Canzone in the 

9th.

The Mariners hsve four games left

before the deadline in Monday. See

what they csn do.  Go M's. 

 

 

Washington Huskies Have Radio Announcer

Several weeks ago Tony Castricone 

the voice if the Washington Huskies 

on radio announced thst he was

leaving. He is now the voice of 

the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

On Tuesday the Huskies announced

who they have now as the  new voice.

Elise Woodward a familiar voice around 

Seattle and the Pacific Northwest.

Elise will be the play by plsy announcer 

for the Huskies. She has been the sideline 

reporter ln Huskies football for some

time.

Elise is a graduate  of Washington 

 She has covered the Seattle Supersonics 

as well as the Seattle Storm. She currently 

is the play by play announcer of the 

Portland Fire in the WNBA.  

Welcome to the show Elise. Now we will

see who is the new sideline reporter

for the Huskies soon. The are about 

a month away in their opening game

of the season against the Washington 

State Cougars in the Apple Cup.

Go Dawgs!

Mariners Win In LA

Tuesday's night game came down to the

end. Final  Mariners 7  Dodgers 6

The Mariners had five home runs on

the night.  It all started with Cal Raleigh 

hitting one out in the second after Ohtani 

had one in the first.

After the Dodgers had a run score in

the third Julio hit a home run to tie.

Rob Refsynder who was activated hit 

a two run homer. Later he had a double 

though no run scored.  Look differently 

than before.

In the 4th the Dodgers scored twice

to tie than took a short lead with a

home run. In the 6th Dominic Canzone 

hit a solo home run to tie. In the 8th

he hit a two run homer.

Andre Munoz came in the 9th. Ohtani 

had his third hit a double to score 

a run.   The Dodgers  had two runners 

on base.  Munoz threw 29 pitches

however was able to get out of it

or the Dodgers would have won.

That would have been a tough loss 

if that happened. Mariners winning 

the opener of the series helps  a lot.

Luis Castillo started the game though 

originally not scheduled until Wednesday.

Emerson Hancock was expected to 

start. Stories that he is  expected to be

traded and maybe why didn't start. Currently 

still on the team. 

Castillo went five innings giving up five 

runs on 11 hits.  Gabe Speier pitched

tge 6th followed by Jose Ferrer in

the 7th then Eduardo Bazardo in the 

8th then finally Munoz. 

Go M's. 

 

Seattle Mariners Double Play Team

Going into this season the Seattle Mariners 

were hoping that Cole Young could be the

team's second baseman. The alternative 

would have been  Brendan Donovan. He 

started the season at third base.  Before 

April was over there was questions whether 

he could play third or not and then he went 

on the injured list. Now he is on rehab 

assignment. 

Colt Emerson came into the season as the

Mariners top prospects. He ended up signing 

nine year contract while still in triple A. Talk

was that he would likely be called up in May.

This happened as much to do with Donovan's 

injury as anything. He wasn't even the player

initially to take Donovan's spot. 

When Colt came up he started at third base. 

Eventually even JP Crawford thought shortstop 

is his best position. JP volunteered to move

to third base.  Even has played good third base.

I was thinking about who the Mariners best

shorstop and second base duo in the 50 years

they have been around. There is no question 

that Alex Rodriquez is the best shorstop. Among

the second baseman in his seven years with 

the Mariners it might be Joey Cora.  JP Crawford 

is likely the Mariners next best shortstop. I can't 

think of any of them at second base unless you

count Cole Young.  Bringing this up Emerson 

and Young are not far from being the best duo

ever for the Mariners. In another year there may

not be any question.

Not only is Cole Young  doing well both offensevily 

and on defense too he has played more than any

one on the team. Also having the best season of

any player in the infield. In fact Randy Arozarena 

and Dominic Canzone maybe the only players

doing better and that is close.

If the Mariners were to sign another player

to a long term contract Cole Young would 

be the next one I expect. The Mariners are

going into the series in LA against the Dodgers.

It doesn't  look good at the moment. In fact

to salve the season a trade before the deadline 

is the only way to go without a miracle. 

Thank you Colt and Cole making the season 

enjoyable somewhat. Go M's. 

Rangers Take the Series

Mariners fans wanted them to win Monday

however it wasn't meant to to be.

Final Rangers 7 Mariners 3

Rangers veteran dh Joc Pederson was the 

player of the game. He hit a solo home run 

in the first inning. Randy Arozarena tied in

the top of the second.  Unfortunately Joc

came up again in the bottom  of the 

 second and hit a three run homer. 

Top of the 3rd Julio had a sacrifice fly 

to put the Mariners within two runs.

The trouble in the bottom of the third

the Rangers hit two more home runs

counting for three more runs. Non

by Pederson. The Mariners didn't get 

their final run until the 9th on a sacrifice 

fly by JP Crawford.

George Kirby obviously didn't pitch well

giving up all seven runs. He left after

the 4th inning. Jose Ferrer pitched the

5th and the three low leverage relievers 

an inning each. The Mariners bullpen 

each gave up a hit however struck out

seven total. Alex Hoppe who was brought 

up from Tacoma struck out three in the

8th. We have to see any moves in the

bullpen for the Dodgers series. 

I thought the Mariners should have made

at least one trade going into the Rangers 

series. Most likely should hzve been a

right handed. Now it is going to be tough

since things with the Mariners are in

disarray. Are they going to bounce 

back against the Dodgers we will see.

The Mariners sat Cal Raleigh Monday

going with Julio Rodriguez at dh and

Mitch Garver at catcher. We hope that 

will help. Go M's.   

Tory Horton Returns In Training Camp

Last year as a rookie wide receiver Tory

Horton only played in 8 games for the

Seattle Seahawks. He was one of a few 

rookies who were hurt and the Seahawks 

hope to step up this season.

In the eight games Horton hsd 13 catches

and five touchdowns. He showed what 

he is capable of.  He stays healthy Horton 

will likely be the Seahawks 4th receiver. 

Besides he will be on special teams as 

a kick off and punt returner. He could

share the punt return duties with Shaeed 

who made some great runs whrn the 

Seahawks acquired him during the season.

Right now practice is in pads and no contact.

Still can show what your capsble of. Go Hawks!
