Mariners Bounce Back

First of all  Cal Raleigh went on the

injured list.  Mitch Garver started 

on Friday. He actually hit a home 

with a runner on base. The score at 

the became 5-1.

Final Mariners 8. Astros 3

Julio Rodriguez  had no hits on

the day however the rest of the

lineup made up for him. Julio

has had a good month hitting

so an off day is ok especially like 

this.

Luke Raley started off hitting a

three run homer in the first inning

followed by Mitch Garver's. It 

would be nice if the Mariners 

could start Raley some games 

against lefties. He might not hit

lefties well however he won't get

better if he doesn't face any. 

Cole Young hit a double to bring

in the next two runs and JP Crawford 

with the final run on a double too.

This tells me the Mariners don't have 

always hit home runs to score.

Alvarez hit a home run in the third

inning for the Astros first run.  

Before he was taken out in the 

6th inning Luis Castillo gave up 

two runs on a double that Alvarez 

scored on again. Outside of that

Castillo pitched well. If he and

Miller peggy back on each other

should he start and Miller come

in. Being a long time starter 

Castillo get the chance. I could see

him go five innings and Miller four.

It could be the other way around 

depending on the game. 

Emerson Hancock will start Friday

at home against the San Diego 

Padres. Logan Gilbert will start 

Saturday and George Kirby Sunday.

They take on the White Sox at home

Monday thru Wednesday. Go M's.

 

The Seahawks Defense Into 2026

The Seahawks lost three players from

the defense however done replacing 

that hope to be be better.

All pro Devon Witherspoon is now 

listed as the left cornerback instead

of nickelback. Depending on downs 

he could be seen at linebacker as well.

The Seahawks will look that they won't 

have to rush in  other players. Versatility 

among players. 

Nick Emmanawori who had a great 

rookie season last year is now listed

at nickelback but will be seen other

positions as well.  Josh Jobe who 

played a lot at safety last year is now

listed at right cornerback. Julian Neal 

drafted third round is listed as his back 

up.

Julian Love will start at strong safety 

with Rodney Thomas his backup.

Ty Okada who started 11 games last year 

will start at free safety. Second round

pick Bud Clark is listed as his backup.

Earnest Jones will again be the middle 

linebacker. Patrick O'Connell will be his

backup. Uchenna Nwosu be the strong 

side linebacker  and Derrick Hall his

backup.  Drake Thomas who had a good

season will be weakeside linebacker.

Tyrice Knight former starter will be his

backup.

On the defensive line at defensive end

will be Leonhard Williams. Mike Morris

moves to the outside to be his backup.

DeMarcus Lawrence will be on the 

other side called Rushing position.

Dante Fowler Jr. recently signed is

listed as the backup.

Byron Murphy II will be the nose tackle

and Brandon Pili over from the Dolphins 

will be his backup. Jarran Reed again will

be the defensive tackle with Rylie Mills

who played late last year out of Notre 

Dame is listed as his backup. News is

that he could play some on the outside 

too.

The Seahawks win the Super Bowl 

again the defense will be a major reason.

Go Hawks!

Mariners Lose Wednesday Night

It took the Astros ten innings to

beat the Mariners 4-3. The Mariners 

had runners on bases in the top of

the tenth but we're not able to score

a run so gave the Astros chance to 

score only one run to win.

JP Crawford hit a home run to lead

of the game. Luke Raley hit a homer

in the second. The Astros scored 

three runs before Julio Rodriguez 

was able to tie the game in the top 

of the 9th with two outs walking on

3-2 pitch. 

Bryce Miller in his first major league 

start of the season gave up two runs

in five and one - third innings.  The 

Mariners used six relievers giving 

up four hits only.  The Mariners 

really lost for lack of hitting and 

coaching.  Go M's. 

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!
