Washington Huskies Football Incoming Freshmen Class

The Washington Huskies football team 

had success last year with their freshman 

class and we will see how this one works

too. 

The Huskies will have a young team 

in 2026. Denzel Boston the team's 

top receiver went to the  NFL early

so have a lot of receivers to make their

mark.

Desmen Roebuck who had a good freshman 

season in 2025 could be a valuable receiver

this year. Another freshman Chris Lawson 

from last year is listed at second string

at another wife receiver. 

Also on offense   John Mills will be

a starter at left guard as a sophomore.

The Huskies have 25 incoming freshmen.

Kodi Greene a five star prospect is listed

as the starting left tackle. That is the most

import position on the offensive line.

Most of the incoming freshmen will be

looking at getting backup time at positions

this season.  The group of defensive backs

are young to do see how they go.

Be sure to be here when the Huskies

season begins on September 5. They

take on state rival Washington State Cougars 

in the opener at Husky Stadium.

The Cougars will be among the new group 

of the Pac-12.  Kirby Moore is the new head

coach there this season. So keep you up

to date with them, the Huskies and Super Bowl champions Seahawks. Go teams.

Look At the Tacoma Rainers

The Seattle Mariners have Thursday off 

so decided to see how the Tacoma Rainers 

have done.

The Rainers are in third place with 23-24

record on the season. In the last ten

games they are 6-4 which is a good sign

especially with the call up of Colt Emerson 

on May 17. 

Speaking of Colt Emerson he is playing 

now at shortstop as JP Crawford has

missed a couple games with injury. 

JP said that he is willing to play some

third base too. So we will see. 

The Rainier's currently on the road playing

the Bees in Salt Lake City. On Wednesday 

the Rainiers won 13-1.  

Victor Robles on rehab assignment had

two hits while driving in a run.  Brennen 

Davis who the Mariners signed as a

minor league free agent before spring

training is hitting is hitting .280. He 

had three hits in the game. The Mariners 

having trouble against lefties a lot of 

fans are calling for him to be called up.

He has nine home runs so far on the

season.  This especially true how Rob

Refsynder is hitting very low 100s. 

Most likely we will see Robles soon

possibly on this road trip.

Brock Rodden who is playing shortstop 

drove in five runs in this game.  He is

hitting .267  with seven home runs.

If the Mariners need a utility player

he could be called up however Brendan Donovan will be the primary utility player 

when he returns. He might play some

third base as well as giving Cole Young 

a day off at second base along with 

outfield and dh. We will see if he goes

on a rehab assignment before returning 

to the Mariners. Go Rainiers.

On the Mariners next day off we will see

how the double A Arkansas Travelers are 

doing. Last years top pick Kade Anderson 

last week had his first hick up on the

season last week. He should be pitching

on Friday. We will look at fellow top prospect 

pitcher Ryan Sloan too. Go Travelers. 

Mariners Win Series

Wednesday afternoon the Mariners 

beat the White Sox 5-4 to take the

series however they  made it hard 

on themselves. 

Arozarena scored three times including

a run in the second and fourth in which

the White Sox came back to tie both time.

Catcher Jhonny Pereds hit a  home run

the seventh and Arozarena hit a two run

shot as well which was a good thing

as the White Sox scored a run in the 8th

and 9th.

Emerson Hancock went five innings 

go inh up the first two runs.  He ended

up walking three while striking out four.

Cooper Criswell who seems to be one 

of the guys who comes out first in a

game. He gave up no runs. Matt Brash

made his return after being on the 

injured list. No runs were scored on him

either.

Eduardo Bazardo pitched the 8th. He gave

up a run but not earned. Jose Ferrer pitched

the 9th.He gave up a home run to the first

batter be faced and then he struck the next

three. Ferrer seems to be the guy in the

9th if Munoz isn't available. 

There is word that Gabe Speier may return

on Monday. He is making his first rehab

assignment on Wednesday evening.  

Robert Ortiz was sent to Tacoma with

the activation of Brash. Not sure who the

guy will be when Speier is activated onto

the roster. 

The Mariners will have Thursday off 

and play Friday in Kansas City against

the Royals. Logan Gilbert should the nod.

Not sure yet whether Miller and Castillo 

will piggy bank once again. Kirby and

Woo should take the mound on Saturday 

and Sunday.  Miller was outspoken after

the game that he was taken out with two

outs in the 6th inning Tuesday.  Also 

some media wondered whether Castillo 

should have pitched in the 9th after

two innings.  We will see.

JP Crawford didn't play so Colt Emerson 

did at shortstop.  In the 5th inning the

Mariners had the bases loaded with 

no outs. A good opportunity to break 

open the game. Arozarena and Naylor

each popped out. The Mariners did 

what they usually did was bring in 

Refsynder to pinch hit for Raley which

hasn't been much success on the

season grounded out. I wonder when

they will stop that. 

Anyway we will check you later.

Any sports stories come out let you

know. Go M's.

Mariners Lose Late

The Seattle Mariners may have won

Tuesday night of they could have had 

enough runs in the first inning. 

Mariners scored a run in the first

inning when they loaded the bases.

Patrick Wisdom hit a ball deep short

and the White Sox were not able to

complete a double play. Julio Rodriguez 

scored the lone  run.  The Mariners 

didn't have another run or hit in the

game. They continued having trouble 

against lefties. 

Bryce Miller pitched well going five

and two-thirds innings. He only gave

up one hit, one walk and no runs.

Miller struck out seven too. 

Jose Ferrer came in to get the 

fine out striking out the batter

with tying run base. 

Piggy backing Luis Castillo came

in struck out the side in the 7th.

In the 8th the White Sox first hitter

grounded to Naylor. Former Mariner

Jarred Kelenic had a single. The

final two batters flied and grounded 

out. Though still things did look

going into the 9th. Castillo walked 

and hit a batter. They brought in 

Munoz who gave up a couple hits

but both runs went to Castillo.

In the bottom of the 9th the White

Sox struck out the side.

Another game where the Mariners 

had good pitching but no run

support.

Wednesday afternoon Emerson

Hancock will start and see if the

Mariners can take the series.

Go M's.

Mariners End Losing Streak

After being swept by the Padres 

the Mariners stepped up and

beat the Chicago White Sox 6-1.

The White Sox have been playing 

pretty well lately so that was good 

news.

It is always good to win the opening 

of a series as well on Monday. The 

Mariners started off well with Julio

hitting a home run in the first inning.

Randy Arozarena and Josh Naylor 

continue their hot hitting driving 

in the next two runs. Arozarena is

hitting .305 while Naylor got off to

a terrible start is now hitting .306.

Bryan Woo pitched well going six

innings shutting out the White Sox.

Eduardo Bazardo who has been 

struggling some of late gave up

a home run. Jose Ferrer and Andre 

Munoz each pitched an inning. 

Bryce Miller will start Tuesday night

game with Luis Castillo expected

to come in at some point as they

are calling it piggy backing. 

None of the teams are doing well 

in the American League West so

the Mariners and Rangers are a

game behind the A's.

The Mariners were facing a lefty

so Refsynder and Connor Joe

both started again. Odd they 

were batting fifth and sixth.

Neither got a hit so when will

the Mariners stop this unless

these two are replaced.  Go M's. 

Mariners Make a Couple Moves

The Seattle Mariners made a couple 

of moves Monday after being swept 

at home by the Padres.  This does 

make sense.

The Mariners activated infielder

Patrick Wisdom off the injured 

list. He had been called up after

getting a good start at triple A 

Tacoma. The Mariners can use 

some pop against left handed 

pitching. The Mariners brought 

up Colt Emerson from Tacoma 

on Sunday when Brendan Donovan 

was put on the injured list. Leo

Rivas was sent down. He has been 

struggling at the plate.

When Donovan is reactivated

whether ten days or longer

one of the bench players will

be sent down. Rob Refsynder 

and Connor Joe have struggled 

when facing lefties handed 

pitching. Outfielder Victor Robles 

is expected to finish rehab assignment 

before the Mariners head out on

Thursday for the next road trip. 

We should see one of the two 

out. 

The Mariners brought up left handed

reliever  Robinson Ortiz from Tacoma

and Domingo Gonzalez sent down

to the same place. Gonzalez just

pitched over the weekend for the

Mariners. They could use a second 

lefty in the bullpen. 

We hope for a win against the White 

Sox Monday.

Another Loss By the Mariners

For the second game in a row the Mariners 

lost to the Padres 7-4. It really wasn't that

close until the Mariners rallied in the 8th 

inning.

Logan Gilbert struggled giving up three 

home runs. The first home run was in the

second but the Mariners couldn't get

any runs themselves. The big inning for

the Padres was the 4th win they scored 

four runs including a three run homer 

the first of the season he gave up. Prior

to that Gilbert had given up solo home 

runs.

The Mariners kept Logan in the game 

until the seventh inning with two outs

 he gave up a two run homer.  Outside

the three home runs be only gave up 

one run.  I expect the Mariners wanted

to keep the bullpen fresh. 

Manager Dan Wilson was rejected from

the game before Logan was taken out.

He argued when a Padre check swing 

was not called a strike. Though it

didn't allow the Mariners to win I do 

home that puts the players in a place 

to win several games in a row. Go M's.
