Mariners Lose Game One Against Blue Jays.

The Blue Jays win 2-0  with both runs

in the third inning. The Mariners actually 

got two runners on base in the bottom 

of the third  but couldn't get a key 

hit in to get at least one run.

The Blue Jays had six hits whike the 

Mariners had only four.  Luis Castillo 

went six innings. The three relievers 

for them gave up only one hit and

no runs.  The Mariners lack of hitting 

is a team effort. It is tough when you

can't get a hitter to produce when the 

opportunities arise. 

The Mariners and Blue Jays have strong

pitching but both are near the bottom 

of the majors in scoring runs.

On July 4th  they will play an afternoon 

game. This series should be close

no matter who wins the series. 

Go M's. 

Heading Into the Toronto Series For Mariners

Both Julio Rodriguez and Victor Robles 

had to leave the game on Thursday.

Now Julio is going on the concussion 

protocol for seven days.

Victor Robles is starting. Initially showed 

he play in center then the latest being

in right. Raley would move to center. Makes

sense with Robles moving to right. We

will know when the game starts. 

Not sure how the Mariners lineup

will look when they have to face a 

lefty.  This is certainly one of the 

best lineups this season except 

missing Julio.

Luis Castillo starts tonight against the

Blue Jays. We hope he pitches like his

last outing. Important that the Mariners 

win the opening game of the series.

We hope the Mariners will win this

series before going on the road.

Go M's. 

Bryce Miller and Mariners Shut Out the Angels

The Seattle Mariners didn't hit well 

Thursday night gainst the Angels 

however scored one run in the 6th

sixth inning.  JP Crawford led off

the sixth with a double. Weston 

Wilson who came in for an injured 

Victor Robles struck out. Canzone

walked followed by Arozarena to

load the bases. Josh Naylor struck

out. Cal Raleigh who has walked a

lot lately ealked once again to bring 

in the only run of the game by Crawford 

Bryce Miller pitched a perfect game 

until the 7th when he gave up a couple 

hits however got out of it.  Eduardo 

Bazardo pitched the 8th without giving 

up a hit. Munoz pitched the 9th and

gave up two hits so both runners were

in place to score. With two outs Colt 

Emerson was able to throw out the

runner at first. The Angels challenge 

it but the replay showed the runner

was out by a foot and a half.

The Mariners ended up sweeping 

the Angels so now beginning Friday 

night they play the Toronto Blue Jays 

  with Luis Castillo on the mound.

It looks like this Saturday Logan Gilbert 

and Emerson Hancock will piggy back 

and on Sunday George Kirby should

pitch.

The Mariners and the Texas Rangers 

currently  are tied for first place in the

American League West.  Go M's.

United States Wins Wednesday

The United States beat Bosnia in

the round of 32 2-0 to advance

to play Belgium on Monday July 

6 in Seattle.

Thiugh they shutout Bosnia it

wasn't as easy as the score 

indicates. In the second half 

the United States received 

a red card which did give 

Bosnia a fighting chance.

The United States has lost to

Belgium before so won't be

easy.

Belgium got off to a rough start 

in their win over Senegal 3-2.

Senegal dominated most of the

match then Belgium scored 

two goals late in regulation to

take it into overtime. 

The overtime was 30 minutes 

and neither team looked like 

they would score and it would

go into a shout out.

Senegal was charged on a penalty 

card and Belgium made the goal

late in overtime. Senegal did have

a chance to tie a few times however 

were unable to tie.

The one thing I don't like is the time

clock keeps running no matter what

happens. We all knew there wasn't 

a lot of time but how much time we

don't know. My opinion not a good 

way to see an ending to a match.

They need to change it.

Belgium will make some changes 

do they get off to a better start

against the United States. So let's 

enjoy the 4th of July and then see

ehat happens right here in Seattle.  

Mariners Beat Angels Again

The Mariners seem to do better when 

second half begins. 

The first five and a half innings no

runs were scored  between the 

Angels  and Mariners. Anyone's 

game at that point. Bryan Woo 

pitched 31 scoreless inmings at 

T-Mobile Park. A teams record.

In the bottom of the 6th the Mariners 

scored five runs. Three straight hits

with Randy Arozarena driving in Julio

Cal walked on a 3-2  count. Cole Young 

hit a single scoring Josh Naylor. A wild 

pitch allowed Randy to score. Victor 

Robles had an out.  Weston Wilson 

recently acquired played right field

hit a single to right scored Cal and

Cole Young.

In the top of the 7th the Mariners 

decided to Woo in. He gave up two

hits before leaving and Eduardo 

Bazardo came in to replace Woo.

He gave up a couple of hits himself 

Woo was charged for two runs 

while Woo one 

This made it interesting since

have the Mariners only two

run lead. In the bottom of the 

7th the Mariners scored three

more runs.  The Mariners loaded

the bases. Colt Emerson singled

scoring Julio and Randy who hit

a double to left field both scored.

Robles singled to score Cole Young. 

Colt Emerson had struggled much

of June had three hits as well as 

Julio. Final Mariners 8 Angels 3.

This was the most hits 13 on the 

season without a home run.

This coukd be a good start for

Colt to head into July.

The Mariners and the Angels have 

a day off on Wednesday for the

World Cup. The two teams play 

again with Bryce Miller on for the 

Mariners. With rest the Mariners

could sweep the Angels which 

be real nice.  Go M's.

Looking At The Washington Huskies Football 2026

The Washington Huskies and the Washington State Cougars will begin practice in a month.

Now they are not in the Pac12 together 

anymore the Apple Cup this year will be

on September 6 at Husky Stadium. 

The Ohio Buckeyes are favored to win

the Big 12 while last years national champion

Indiana is slated for number two and Oregon

at three. Depending who you talk to the

Huskies figured five or six.  

The Huskies had a good defense last year

against the run and pass whether they can

duplicate we will see.  The Huskies have four 

starters who played every game while ten others did have some experience starting.

 Besides graduation the Huskies lost some

on the defensive line to the transfer portal.

The backup lineman are guys they brought 

in from the transfer portal so be interesting 

to see how they do. We will look at that 

closer to the season. 

On offense Desmond Williams Jr returns

as  the quarterback. Denzel Washington 

wide receiver went to NFL as well as Jonah 

Coleman at running back. The Huskies

do have some receivers coming back from

last year.  Running back will be all players 

who didn't play at Washington last season.

Jayden Limar a local player transferred to

Washington from Oregon. So we see how

he and the other running backs do. Decker DeGraaf returns at tight end.

The following Saturday after the Apple 

Cup the Huskies take on Utah State

then Easter Washington the week after 

that. Both are st Washington too. It will

the younger and new players get used

to playing at home as well where they 

fit on the team. The first game in the

Big Ten begins on September 26 against 

Minnesota at home.  

October will be tough as the Huskies

start the month at USC. In fact three

of the four games that month will be

on the road. November the Huskies 

will have two at home and two on

the road. The last game of the regular 

season will be at Oregon. Could be

important to both teams.

The Cougars with a new head coach 

and coaching staff the Huskies are

favored by 21.5 points.  The Cougars 

are figured to be in the bottom half 

of new Pac-12. The Apple Cup will 

tell us where the Cougars likely be. 

The Ciugars lost a lot of players going

with a new head coach. We do hope 

for good things at both schools.

We will look at Cougars beyond the 

Apple Cup. That game will be on NBC.

We will let you know where the other

games will end at. Five of the games 

will be on the USA Network a new 

partner. The others will be on various

channels. The CW will have only one

Cougar game on. 

The CW will bave some Pac 12 games 

as well as the ACC and the Mountain 

West conferences plus some others.

You will see some national games there

as well as other networks we are used

to seeing. 

Belgium VS Senegal

Wednesday 1 pm in Seattle  Belgium 

will be taking on Senegal in the round

of 32. 

This should be an exciting match up

between an European country and

African country.

Belgium will bring experience and power 

while Senegal brings youth and speed.

We will see who wins out and goes to

the 16.  There will be a match in Seattle 

next Monday for a 16. The loser will be

out to reach the 16. We will see what 

happens if there is a tie after regulation.

Monday's match will at 5 pm pacific time.

Let you know how it goes.
