College and NFL Schedules Change

The Washington Huskies announced the

opening game against the WSU Cougars

at Husky Stadium was changed to Sunday

September 6th. 

The Seahawks opening the NFL season 

against the Patriots on September 9 which 

is a Wednesday. 

High school games are on Thursday 

and Friday.  Now the NFL has games 

on Thursday.  The  NFL doesn't have 

games on Saturday until the college 

season isn't over.  Now conferences 

like the Big Ten now have games on

Friday so all games are watched on 

their network or national networks. 

This all comes down to money and

Networks.

It looks  to me  that every day of the

week during football we will have 

football games.  The Seahawks -

Patriots game might be the only

one this season but we could see

games on Tuesday which is the

only day left. More games put  on

live streaming which means more

money to. Fortunately all Seahawks 

games are shown regionally. Not

likely with Huskies. 

Sports fans now have to pay more

money to see games. Hopefully 

things will work out. 

Look at the Everett Acqua Sox

The Acqua Sox are the top Mariners

Single A team.  Like Mariners they

are one gave under five hundred 

23-24. They have struggled lately

with a 3-7 record in their last ten games.

They are in third place In the Northwest 

League.

As far as pitching goes they have only

one that is in the team's top 30 prospects 

in Lucas Kelly a right handed reliever.

So far he is on rockie ground in his 

second season of professional ball. He 

was drafted  in the sixth round by the  Mariners in 2025. Lucas has struck almost two batters per inning in 12 games however

 a walk an  inning as well. So wildest as 

well as giving hits and an  era of 6.28.  The Mariners seen potential when drafting him however see if he can improve. 

As far as position players go the one with

the best season for Everett is  Felinin 

Celsten the number seven prospect at 

shortstop. He was signed as an international 

player. He had been hurt much of the last

two years however this been a very good 

season for him. He recently was on a 25

game hitting streak coming three games

short of the Northwest League all-time 

record and batting over .400.

Felinin is a switch hitter with power mostly 

from the left side.  He won't be known for

hitting a lot of home runs however could hit

a lot of doubles. If Colt Emerson spends 

his career at Seattle playing a lot of third

base Felinin could be his partner at shortstop.

Another prospect  is outfielder Jonney Formelo the sixth top prospect. Like 

Felinin he has been hurt as well. He is

currently hitting .246 however has a 

good on base percentage at .374. Only

has four home runs. His defense in the

outfield is good and he is a left handed 

bat and was drafted 29 overall out of

high school in 2023. See how he matures.

Luke Stevenson catcher out of North

Carolina is a left handed hitting catcher 

the 35th overall pick last season reminds

many in the Mariners organization like

another Cal Raleigh as far as catching and

hitting. He is the Mariners number 8

prospect. He currently is hitting.260 and 

although only three home runs he does

have 13 doubles. He has a good on base

percentage of .429. 

We will let you know how these top

prospects go and any others elsewhere.

Mariners Sweep and More

It has been a rough start to the Mariners 

season facing left handed pitching.

The A's figured they could take the 

series throwing two lefties against 

the Mariners. Well it backfired. 

Wednesday afternoon Mariners 9 A's 1

Rob Refsynder who has struggled so far

this season with an average around .100

many of us saying why is he still on the

team. 

On Tuesday evening Refsynder had

a single that helped them to get

going. Now on Wednesday he hit a

three run homer in the first inning 

to get the Mariners jumpstarted. 

Refsynder is a ways to have a decent 

batting average but he could get

going now. Figuring left handed

pitching could get the monkey off

their back. 

The Mariners are now 28-29 and

now first place in the American 

League West. The Mariners have

Thursday off before playing Arizona 

and the New York Mets at home. 

If they can win both series they

could have a bit of a lead against

rest of the division.

Colt Emerson hit a triple driving in

two runs in the 4th inning.  In the 

sixth inning he ground into an out

but a run scored. In the 8th Julio

hit a three run homer and Emerson 

had singled. Cole Young was part

of it too.  The future looks bright. 

Logan Gilbert pitched well for the

third start in a row. He went six

innings  giving up five hits, two walks

and six strikeouts.  He continues 

this way be good for the Mariners 

too.  Go M's. 

Mariner Beat the A's Again

The Mariners Tuesday evening best the

A's for the second straight time winning 4-1.

The A's decided to start a rookie left 

handed pitcher since the Mariners are 

not hitting well against them.

The Mariners scored three runs to take

the early lead in the second inning. 

Mitch Garver hit a double scoring 

Josh Naylor. Rob Refsynder who hasn't 

hit very well on the season had a single 

so went to third. He scored on a sacrifice 

fly by Cole Young. Garver who made it

to third scored on a sacrifice fly by

JP Crawford too.

The Mariners scored their final run

in the 4th inning when Julio hit a

single scoring Victor Robles who

recently was activated from the injured

list.  Robles went three for three. 

The Mariners face a lefty again tomorrow 

afternoon so Robles should be in the

lineup again. 

The A's scored their lone run on a

homer in the 9th inning.

Emerson Hancock continues to be

one of the  Mariners to starters 

going six innings giving up one hit

and two walks. He was pitching a

no-hitter until the fifth inning.

The Mariners have a chance to sweep

the A's on Wednesday afternoon.

If they do so then they will be in

first place by a half game. Logan Gilbert 

will start. Go M's. 

Seahawks Open OTA

The Seahawks this week have ota 

work out along with next week. 

Most of the Seahawks are in camp.

The Seahawks offense will likely 

look the same as last season 

however under new offensive 

coordinator Brian Fleury could

have some other wrinkles possibly 

he learned with the 49ers. 

Jardarian Price first round pick 

will take over for Kenneth Walker III

while George Holani most likely for

Zach Charbonnett until he is ready 

to participate late 2026. 

The Seahawks lost free agents 

on defense at cornerback, edge

rusher and safety too. The Seahawks 

number two and three round picks 

will have opportunity to put in a

lot of playing time at corner and

safety. Several two year players 

who had injuries and missed some

of last season will look to make an impression too. 

Both sides of the ball could be even

better than last year. The otas there

will be no contact drills either. They

will be walk threws. Go Hawks!

.Mariners Work On Consistency

The Mariners are now a game and a half 

back after beating the A's on Monday 

night. They win the series it will be a tight 

race still. 

Those who follow the Mariners regularly 

know they are inconsistent. The broadcast 

announcers tell us that as well. Monday's 

game showed that most of the runs were 

with homers. They did get two runs before

the home runs happened. 

Randy Arozarena leads the Mariners bin doubles this season with 13. That is 

another good option besides home runs. 

Monday's game Randy hit a double

scoring Josh Naylor after he drove in

Colt Emerson. 

Luke Raley who leads the Mariners with home runs with ten hit a two run followed by  Canzone with Young on base. 

Being more consistent is hitting the ball

the other way especially with two strikes.

Colt Emerson who had four hits on Sunday 

he looks for the fast ball. Everything else

will work otherwise.

The Mariners are ninth in walks in

the major leagues. The team batting

average is .228 which is ranked 28th 

in the majors.   The Mariners average

4.14 runs per game while the pitching

the earned run average is 3.66.  In 

theory the Mariners should have a

winning record.

The inconsistency has come where 

they have scored three runs or less

in 27 of 54 games. They are 2-6 in 

games where the opposing team

has scored three runs or less too.

There is no data on how many times

the Mariners haven't scored until at

least the 4th inning however they have

scored at least one run in 37 out of

54 games in the first three innings. 

So lack of scoring runs has hurt the

Mariners. They don't need to be in the

upper level however improving the

rest of the season should help. Go M's. 

Mariners Power To Win

Initially it looked like it was going

to be a low scoring game however 

it didn't turn out that way. 

 Final Mariners 9  A's 2

The Mariners waited until the third

inning to score  six runs. Josh Naylor 

forced out Julio and Colt Emerson 

scored then Randy Arozarena doubled

driving in Naylor.  Luke didn't take long

hitting a home run to add two more.

Cole Young hit a double followed by

Dominic Canzone. Suddenly it was 6-0.

The 4th inning inning  JP Crawford 

.add it seven runs with a homer.

Luis Castillo who started only went

four innings as planned.  He gave up

two hits and two walks while striking 

out six. 

In the 8th inning the A's finally got

on board with a solo home run.

In the 9th Randy Arozarena hit

a home run with Josh Naylor on base. 

The A's got their second run in the

9th  on a ground out. That was it.

So far Arozarena is having a very good

season. This is the last year of his 

contract. The question is will the  Mariners 

sign him to a multi-year contract before

the season is over or let him go in

free agency. Many think he will leave

but we will see. At this point the Mariners 

don't behave anyone to take his spot 

or they make a trade.  

Tuesday the Mariners will have Emerson 

Hancock on the mound.  The Mariners will

have Thursday off before facing the Arizona 

Diamondbacks at home. The question is

will the Mariners piggy bank for the third

time next Sunday. Stay tuned!
