Mariners Beat Struggling Astros Again

For the second game in a row the 

Mariners beat the Astros on Tuesday 

night 10-2.

The Mariners scored two runs on

a home run by Randy Arozarena in

the second inning. The Astros 

bounced back with a run in the 

bottom of the second and  third.

Dominic Canzone hit a grand slam 

in the 4th inning his career first.

The Mariners added a run in the 

5th and 7th plus two in the 9th

for good measure. Arozarena 

went four for four and four runs. 

Good news on the Cal Raleigh 

side as he had two hits while

scoring three times. 

Bryan Woo went six innings 

before Alex Hoppe came in

for two innings. With the big

lead along with throwing over

a hundred pitches was enough 

for Woo. Hoppe gave up no

hits and struck out two. He 

seems  like the real thing. 

Domingo Gonzalez who was

activated taking Jose Ferrer

spot while on paternity leave.

Most likely return when the 

Mariners come home on Friday.

Bryce Miller is expected to

start Wednesday night against

the Astros for the first time of

the season. Not only should 

Ferrer be reactivated on Friday 

Matt Brash is expected to come

off the injured list. Go M's. 

 

Look At Seahawks Tight Ends and Offensive Line

NFL teams are more going with

three tight ends on occasion. 

How often we will see with the

Seahawks will find out.  It will

likely be done in short yardage.

AJ Barner will be the number 

one tight end and be in mostly 

on passing downs. He has shown

to be a good receiver.  

The number two tight end right 

now listed is  Eric Shaubert who

made some important catches 

last year. Elijah Arroyo a rookie

last year as a second pick  missed

some time with injuries could be

number two though listed at 

number three right now. These

three could give some surprises.

 

The offensive line will be interesting.

The left tackle and guard will likely 

stay the same as far as the starters.

Charles Cross at left tackle while

last year's number one pick Grey

Zabel at left guard. This year's 

fifth round pick Beau Stephens 

is listed as his backup. The right

guard spot has shown some down

grade so we could see him on that 

side as a starter or a backup as well.

At the right tackle will be former

Washington State Cougar  Abraham 

Lucas. Last year he was healthy 

unlike a couple bad years so that 

is good news. Amari Kight is his

backup.  Anthony Bradford is the

current starter at right guard however

that spot could change. His backup

is Christian Haynes  who has been a disappointment and this is where 

Beau Stephens comes in where he

could play right tackle.  Offensive 

lineman can be interchangeable 

however Cross, Zabel and Lucas 

should stay the same. At some 

point center could be Zabel's best

spot but that could be another 

year or two.

.Mariners Win In Houston

The Seattle Mariners were able to

win Monday evening in Houston 

in game one 3 to 1.

George Kirby looked good even though 

he was only able to go five innings. 

He gave up the one run in the fifth

inning. The four relievers did a

good job just giving up one hit. 

The Mariners scored two runs in

the second inning with back to 

back hits by Canzone and Cole 

Young driving in Arozarena and

Luke Raley.  Julio hit a massive 

home run in the third inning  for

the last run. He missed a home run 

in the first inning as the ball just

went foul to left field.

 Cal Raleigh  continues to struggle 

at the plate without getting a hit

however his swing did look good 

though. We hope he gets out of it

on Tuesday.  Bryan Woo will

start Tuesday.  Go M's. 

Seahawks Depth Chart Heading Into 2026

We are looking at the Seahawks offense

first here. Sam Arnold stays as the number

one quarterback. I expect if he has a

season lije  this last one he will get a

new extension. Drew Lock is number 2

at this point. Last year as a rookie Jalen

Milroe played sparingly and may do so 

again. His legs are a strong point so we

could see him come in sometimes when

the Seahawks are in the red zone. He could be used in short downs to as a change up.

Zach Charbonnett and Ken Walker III 

had about the same amount of carries

last season. While Zach won't be on the

team when the season begins number 

one draft pick Jadarian Price most likely 

will share time with free agent Emmanuel Wilson or George Holani who has always looked good in preseason games.  Both 

likely to run much like Charbonnett.   According to head coach Mike MacDonald Price will work with every unit.

The Seahawks will likely go with a

fullback once again. Robbie Ouzts 

is listed as the starting  fullback. 

He was hurt some of last  year. 

His important job is to block

for the running back however we 

will see him run once in a while as 

a change up. Brady Russell is listed

as his backup however could see 

him some at tight end and especially 

on special teams. 

At wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba 

will be the number one guy. Jake 

Bobo is listed as his number two.

Rashid Shaheed who signed a big

contract as he became a free agent

will be on the other side. He likely 

be the high playmaker as well as

punt returner.  Tory Horton is listed

as  Shaheed backup at both spots.

We could see him some on punt

returns to keep Shaheed healthy.

Don't be surprised to Shaheed do

some runs as well.  

Cooper Kupp will be the third receiver.

We may see him make maybe three

catches a game however he is shown

as a good blocker and he is a coach

on the field too. Sixth round pick 

Emmanuel Henderson Jr is listed 

as his backup. See how that works

out.

Next time we will look at the tight 

ends as well as the offensive line.

Go Hawks!

Mariners Give Up Another Game Sunday

The Seattle Mariners could have or

should have swept the White Sox

instead they lost 2-1.

Logan Gilbert pitched a fantastic 

game giving up just one hi. Also

he had 16 straight outs to end his

time in the game after six innings. 

The Mariners scored their one run

in the first inning when Randy Aroza-

rena drove in Julio.  In the seventh 

inning Connor Joe hit a double then

JP moved him to third out on a ground

out.  Rob Refsynder pinch hitting for

Canzone struck out. Again this shows 

me that using Refsynder in this situation 

is not working.  Cole Young flied out.

The White Sox got their two runs in

the bottom of the 8th with a home run

and a sacrifice fly. 

The White Sox had five hits while the

Mariners had seven. Now the Mariners 

go play the Astros for four games.

We hope they play better. 

Mariners Lose Saturday Evening

The Seattle Mariners continue to

have trouble hitting against lefties.

Also Luis Castillo still trouble 

pitching as well.

Final White Sox 6 Mariners 1

Luis Castillo gave up a two run homer

in the first inning and another in the

third inning.  He lasted only four innings.

The only run was when Mitch Garver 

walked then came home on a Refsynder 

sacrifice fly.  Though he isn't hitting

well in limited action he continues 

to be willing to walk.  We do hope 

Refsynder starts to hit soon too. He

is playing sparingly as well however

as a veteran he should be used to it.

Leo Rivas was back at third base.

I expect right now the Mariners 

are trying to use him against 

righties.  We hope he is able 

to play more often soon.

My thinking is the Mariners need

to pick up another right handed 

back.

Bryce Miller is expected to start 

on Wednesday. There looks like

the two might piggy back on 

each other though not the first

round this coming week. Whether

Castillo will start and Bryce come 

in after a few innings or possibly 

the other way around. We will

find out. How it affects the other

starters we will see too. 

The minor leaguers are pitching

once a week at this time. So 

this could be normal in the future.

I like the old days when there were

four starters. The Mariners though

have had five solid starters so for

this team makes sense. 

For minor leaguers they look so

injuries won't happen as often.

This is especially true for pitchers 

who pitched in college where they

throw a lot of innings. 

The Mariners will go to seven  

relievers for the meantime. Not

sure however one will be sent 

down to the minors if they have

options to do so.

Go M's. 

Mariners Win Opening Game On Road Trip

The Seattle Mariners started out well 

however let the White Sox back into the 

game. Final Mariners 12  White Sox 8

Luke Raley was the player of the game 

having his first grand slam of his career.

Unfortunately Emerson Hancock wasn't 

able to keep the lead. Later Raley had

a three run homer. He was one run 

short in tying for driving in the most

run in a game. 

Josh Naylor had a great game to having 

three hits and had a three run homer later

after Raley's. Arozarena had three hits 

too. Julio had a home run too.

Luis Castillo should start on Saturday.

We see how he does whether to get

better. Go M's.
