losing streak ended in the opening
game series to the Astros in Houston.
This was a close game but three
mistakes cost the Mariners the game.
Final Houston 4 Seattle 2
Takeaways: Logan Gilbert pitched
well except by giving up a two run home run to Alex Bergman with two
outs in the first inning. Logan was
able to go six innings.
The Mariners were able to tie the game
in the third inning. They were able to
load the bases without any outs. Ty
France hit a long ball that looked like
could be a grand slam but just didn't
make it. So had a sacrifice fly. Carlos
Santana up next hit a grounder beating
the throw to first base without getting
into a double play.
The game stayed that way until the
eighth inning when Bregman was at
it again when he drove in a run with
a double. He scored himself on a couple misfortunes.
The Mariners may have been able to
comeback from a one run defeceit but
harder with two. The Astros closer Pressly has had a long streak of not
giving up runs so not good for Mariners.
The Mariners face Verlander Friday
night with Robby Ray. Likely another
close game. The Mariners need to
find a way not to make mistakes
and put pressure on the Astros.
In the football world reports come
out that the Seahawks have signed
DK Metcalf to a three year deal for
$72 million with $58 million guaranteed. This includes a $30 million
signing bonus. I am sure this all to
meet the salary cap.
This is good news since Tyler Lockett
is the other primary receiver. The Seahawks have three other receivers
competing for the third spot in Penny
Hart, Freddie Swain and D'Wayne Eskridge. All three likely make the roster but who will get most playing
time?
Eskridge is currently having a
hamstring injury which is keeping
him out at the beginning of camp.
Last year's number two draft pick
the Seahawks really to have Eskridge
healthy to be the third receiver.
The Seahawks have Cody Thompson
who maybe Metcalf's backup if he
can beat out Hart. Marquise Goodwin a
nine year veteran recently with the
Chicago Bears might be Lockett's
backup. Most likely the Seahawks
will go with five receivers. Go Hawks!
