taking on the San Francisco 49ers. Second week
in a row the Seahawks take on a division foe.
Last Sunday night the Seahawks lost in overtime
to Arizona in a game they should have won but
lost in overtime on a field goal.
This week the 49ers will look to run the ball over
the Seahawks. The Seahawks defense will have
to be ready to be tough in stopping the 49ers offense.
It makes sense the 49ers in running the ball since
they have a better running attack then passing the
ball plus it will allow them to keep the ball out of
the hands of the Seahawks.
Usually when they do the coin flip the Seahawks
win the flip they allow the opposing team having
the ball initially then the Seahawks will be able
to have the ball at the beginning of the Seahawks.
I wonder if they will do the same this time when
winning the flip or take the ball first so the offense
can score first before the 49ers have the ball.
The idea might be to lose the flip. Of course, the
49ers could do the same thing allowing the Seahawks
with the ball first. We will see won't we.
In baseball, the Mariners released Dee Strange-Gordon
this week. Kendall Graveman the Mariners declined his
option as well, however, they turned around signed him
to a new deal. Graveman will be back next season being
in the Mariner bullpen.
The Mariners are close to their rebuilding so it will be
critical to have a good bullpen. It was a part of the team
this last season not doing well while the starting pitching
was fine along with the position players. Of course, the
starting pitching needs to continue improving along with
the position players
It is time to bring in at least three relievers by either free
agency or trade. Also, bringing up a couple relievers from
the minor leagues. With the signing of Graveman means
one or two relievers from last season's team remaining.
The Mariners plan to go with a six-man rotation again so
it means seven or eight relievers. The Mariners will need
to add to their outfield as Kyle Lewis was the only true
outfielder with success this past season. Mallex Smith was
a disaster so he won't be returning. He isn't on the 40-man
roster so he will sign with another team or be invited as
a minor leaguer to training camp.
The Mariners should be making a move today to add
Mitch Haniger, Tom Murphy and Andres Munoz to
the 40-man roster as they are all on the 60-day injured
list. Currently the Mariners have 32 players on their
roster..
