Mariners in 11

 It wasn't an easy day at the

office for the Seattle Mariners.

They were able to win in the 

bottom of the 11th inning

10-9.

The Mariners scored first

on a two-run homer by Mitch

Haniger in the first. Marco 

Gonzales had a rough third

inning giving up four runs

to the Rangers on three home

 runs. Haniger had another 

home run to tie it to give Marco

more time. Personally, I would

have taken him out but he rides

the ship through the fifth.

The Mariners took the lead

on two home runs by Jarred

Kelenic who might be the 

real thing now. The Mariners

though allowed the Rangers

back in with Sewald giving

up two runs and Munoz another. 

The Mariners had to score with 

the Rangers scoring a run in

the tenth and eleventh. JP 

Crawford had the hit to win 

the game with Dylan Moore

coming home from third.

Now the Mariners have the

magic number one to be in

the playoffs over the Orioles

losing again. The Rays lost 

as well so the Mariners are

right now in the second wild

card spot.

The Mariners take on the

Oakland A's Friday night.

They could clinch a wild 

card spot in the second inning 

if the Orioles lose to the Yankees. 

The Mariners just

need to win one game out

of the seven remaining games

or one loss by the Orioles.

I would say they are in.

The Mariners are in primarily

of their pitching and sometimes 

timely hitting.

The 14-game winning streak

before the all-star break did

the job. The Mariners have

85 wins so will they make

90 or will we care. It would

be nice to finish the season

on a good note, and momentum. Go M's.

Down to Three

The Seattle Mariners evened

the series against the Texas 

Rangers 3-1. The Orioles lost

so the magic number is now

three.

The combination of Mariners

wins and Orioles losses puts

Seattle in the playoffs for

the first time in a long time.

We hope a position they will

be in for a while.

The Mariners had timely hitting

especially from Eugenio Suarez

in his second game back from

injured list. George Kirby was 

back to his pitching giving up

a run in six innings. The one run

happened in the first inning.

The Mariners rebound by scoring two runs in the bottom

of the first.

The Mariners scored their third

and final run in the third inning.

With the bases loaded and no

outs Carlos Santana hit a chopper just passed Perez the

Rangers pitcher and they had

to settled for getting Santana

at first. Of course the Mariners

couldn't find a way to get one

or two runs by a sacrifice fly

or a timely hit. Something they

need to work on in spring

training coming up.

After that Kirby was able to get

the Rangers with no help from

the home umpire calling balls

on obvious strikes.  Erik Swanson, Andre Munoz and

Paul Sewald each pitched an

inning without giving up a

hit. Been a formula that has

been working most of the

season. Love to see it in the

playoffs to.

Seahawks news it looks like

running back Travis Homer will

be out for a little while going 

on the injured list. Primarily

a special teams specialist

Homer was hurt in the loss

to the Falcons.

How are the Seahawks fair 

against the Lions Sunday in

Detroit. Will the win and even

their record 2-2 or lose making

it 1-3. The Seahawks should 

have beaten the Falcons who 

are rebuilding. Oh yes the

Seahawks doing the same 

though Pete Carroll denies 

it. Maybe next year. Lol

I know the 12th man is loyal

to the Seahawks but some

if not all should see what is

happening with Mariners.

The Seattle Kraken season 

begins soon. To be honest

I haven't seen preseason yet.

Not Good Start To Homestand

The Seattle Mariners are not

making it easy for themselves

or fans as they are crawling

to the finish line.

The Mariners now have Suarez

back in the lineup Tuesday but

struck out three times. It would

be nice to have Julio in the

lineup since they function

better with him in it. They say

he will be ready to go when

he is eligible to come off the

injured list. The question though will his back happen

again. I guess we won't know

until he starts playing again.

The Mariners were shutout 

by the Texas Rangers 5-0.

Robbie Ray pitched well

giving up only two runs in

five and two-thirds innings.

Doesn't help if the offense 

can't score runs. Jerry Dipoto

will have to get more punch

in the lineup next season.

With the shift going away 

except still able to use 

against pull hitters the Mariners players may function better.

Offense should go up some.

The top pitchers will still be able to do what they have done.

The good news the Baltimore

Orioles lost to the Red Sox

13-9. The magic number is

now five for the Mariners to

get in the playoffs.

George Kirby who had his

worst outing in his last time

pitching goes on the mound

Wednesday night. Hope to

see him back to his old

self. The Mariners offense 

needs to score runs though.

Thursday Marco Gonzales 

will start. I hope to see his

old self instead of what we

have seen. 

Since the Mariners haven't

been in the playoffs for so

long we have no idea even

though not playing good

teams to end the season.

Right now they are playing

down to their competition.

Go.M's.

Not a Good Day Sunday Sports

The Mariners had a good lead

on Sunday but ended up.blowing it with a loss to

the Royals 13-12. Not a good

road trip. The Mariners could

have made the playoffs already

or certainly close.

The offense certainly had a

good game. Been nice to save

some runs though. The bullpen

has been good most of the

season but not good time for

a lapse. The only good thing 

the Orioles lost in extra innings.

The Seahawks lost to the Atlanta Falcons at home 27-23.

The Falcons are in rebuild mode no longer having Matt Ryan at quarterback traded to 

Indianapolis Colts.  The Seahawks no rebuilding think 

again. Lol

The Seahawks go to Detroit

to take on the Lions. The Seahawks lose that game

then rebuild is on the clock.

Will the Seahawks stick with Geno Smith if they continue

to lose whether the offense

is at fault or not. We see.

I thought this was supposed to be a run first offense however 

Geno threw over 300 yards. The running game needs to go first.

I say because if the Seahawks

lead late in the game they

need to have success running

to keep running the clock. Passing a lot won't help

when needing to run out the

clock. Sounds logical to me.

At least not as bad as the Cougars losing to Oregon

after being ahead by 22 points.

How will this affect the Cougars the rest of the season

we will see. 

Mariners Looks To Win Series

The Mariners look to win series over Royals Sunday. They are behind 2-1 in the bottom of 4th 

inning. 

The Mariners beat Royals

Saturday 6-5. Cal Raleigh hit

a home run to even the score than a double to put them ahead. The Mariners had

opportunities to put the

game away twice loading 

the bases with no outs but

could bring any runs in. 

Even after the double couldn't

score anymore. Had a chance with one out where the  ball

was hit to second base but

Jesse Winker could have scored going on contact.

Now the Mariners are down to

seven games to make the playoffs.After today they play

Three against the Texas Rangers starting on Tuesday followed by three to the Oakland and four to the Detroit

Tigers.Now the Mariners are

leading 3-2.

The Orioles are losing right 

to Houston Astros 1-0. They

play Boston Red Sox followed

by the Yankees and Blue Jays

so won't be easy for them.

The Mariners should make the

playoffs for the first time since 1993 I believe. Go Ms 

 

Mariners Sign Luis Castillo

The Seattle Mariners signed 

Luis Castillo to a five year deal 

for a $108 million. He and Robbie Ray be at the top of

the rotation. Have to say with

Logan Gilbert and George Kirby 

to the rotation it will be an

excellent rotation for at least five years. Castillo has a six

year option to. 

Next year the Mariners could add Emerson Hancock or Bryce Miller to the rotation. This means Gonzales and Flexen will be in the bullpen or traded. I would say only one will still be with the Mariners at most.  

The Mariners should look to see whether Marco can pitch

out of the bullpen. I am sure

he still considers himself a

starter though has a losing

record. I think he can go three innings but not much more without the Mariners improve 

on the offense. We see how

Dipoto approaches things. 

Coming up Monday the Kraken 

starts preseason number two. 

We will see how much improved the Kraken will be.

Stay tuned.

Another Laps in Mariners Offense

Frustration in the Mariners 

right now. They are playing

teams they should beat

but the offense for the most

part sucks and the pitching

not going well either.

I still don't know why they are

pitching Marco Gonzales right 

now. I see Marco starting a

series so often which isn't a

good thing. Often he gives up

home runs but isn't doing that

right now.

Chris Flexen has an option for

next season. He should be 

starting instead of pitching 

late in the game when they

won't win unless the offense

has a spark.

Right now against teams they

should be beating nothing is

happening with the offense. 

They can't score more than a

run or two for the most part.

They should have a clear way

into the playoffs instead of

wondering they won't  make it.

The good thing other teams in

the playoff race are playing

each other.

Julio Rodriguez was put on

the injured list for his back.

Another bad sign to. All

season the Mariners were

scoring at least three runs.

Can't do that right now.

Injuries going on and they

look like the team before

the 14 game winning streak.

Not sure they will make the

playoffs after all. I hope I am wrong. 

The final Friday KC 5 Sea 1

We have to see what they

are made of without the

missing parts. 

Mariners Changes Lead to Win

The Seattle Mariners made a 

couple roster moves during

the A's series. It benefited 

them winning 9-5.

The Mariners got off to a hot

start scoring three runs in the

first inning. Unfortunately George Kirby didn't have it

giving up the five runs in the

third inning. The Mariners 

bullpen did their job along with the position players. Now the

Mariners can go into Kansas

City on a positive note.

The two reinforcements were

Jarred Kelenic and Luis Torrens. Kelenic had a big

day having a home run on his

first swing to get the game

closer and had a double later.

Kelenic scored and drove in

two runs.Torrens pinch hit for

Jesse Winker who was at dh.

It was nice to see Cal Raleigh

back in the lineup. Cal had a

double which led to a run.

Manager Scott Servais said

in his post conference it was

nice to see a more relaxed

Kelenic in the game. Julio Rodriguez had to leave the

game in the second inning 

with the recurring issue of 

his lower back. Hopefully

he will be back soon.

Kelenic moved to center with

Sam Haggerty coming into

the game and playing in left.

JP Crawford had the day off

and Dylan Moore at short. 

Servais wanted to shake up

the lineup some. 

Marco Gonzales starts Friday followed by Gilbert and Luis Castillo. I hope this means at least two victories. 

Mariners Lack of Offense

Tuesday evening the Seattle

Mariners lost the opener to

the Oakland A's 4-1.

The Mariners had Julio Rodriguez back in center

field however the offense

struggled again after nine

runs Monday.

The Mariners had opportunities

to score early as Oakland starter Sears struggled on the

mound. They couldn't get a

key hit. The Mariners had a

runner on third and first with

no outs. Dylan Moore and 

Abraham Toro couldn't produce

even a sacrifice out. Sears

trouble on the mound produced

two walks including Sam Haggerty's with the bases loaded to give the one run and

the lead for a few innings.

Luis Castillo pitched well early

on however gave up on one

mistake a three run homer.

This was after getting the

first two outs before two

singles before hanging a

pitch to Kemp. Let you

know Kemp has a career

batting average against the

Mariners at .279. Seems worse

since he gets key hits.

The Mariners need to win the

two remaining games of the

series. The magic number 

was eleven wins to.make the

playoffs. Not sure still the

same since the Rays lost to

the Astros as well. Might be

ten games. Had the Mariners 

won it would have been ten

or even nine. With a win and

a loss by at least one of the

other playoff contender the

number should go down by

two I think. The Mariners still good shot in making the playoffs but need to take care

of these teams they are playing. They have the easiest

schedule for the remaining

season which they take care 

of but the offense needs to

do their job.

One thing for sure the Mariners

will need to add to the offense

during the off season. Julio

and Cal Raleigh who missed

the game for injury to one of

his fingers should be back

soon are the only sure position

players to return next season.

Eugenio Suarez out right now is almost a clear shot to return

next season. I would say Sam

Haggerty looks to return as a

utility player. Though he plays

good defense Dylan Moore 

has for the second season to

be a bust at the plate. I would

look at picking up a utility

player with more offense. I

am sure there someone out there.

Abraham Toro has the opportunity with Suarez 

out to do something but

hasn't so far and why he

had been demoted to

triple A. The second base

position should be where

the Mariners should look

at picking up a free agent

or trade at. 

The Mariners could bring back 

Adam Frazier but have him 

in the role what Toro had. The

advantage with Frazier he can

play the outfield to.

More about that and more 

when the season is over.

Logan Gilbert and Company

Logan Gilbert was able to 

help the Mariners end

their losing streak to the

Angels. Fortunately the

Mariners were not swept

in Anaheim. 

Logan went six innings striking

out eleven in the Mariners 

9-1 win. The Mariners now 

have 81 wins with 16 games

to go.

It was nice to see the offense

accomplish some production 

in this series to. The Mariners

have been without Julio and

Cal Raleigh. Also Eugenio Suarez is on the injured list.

Haven't got any production 

out of Abraham Toro playing

third base. Dylan Moore who

could play third has played

center field in Julio's place.

Julio has a sore back. Hopefully be back against

the A's.

Ty France and Carlos Santana

were the offense Monday

driving in the Mariners nine runs. Santana had a grandslam

and drove in five runs while

Ty had the other runs batted

in. It would be nice for them

to stay hot. Mitch Haniger

is back in lineup after a few

games to. Go M's.

Not A Good Day

Sunday was not a good day

for the Mariners or Seahawks.

The scores really all you need to know for the most part 

Angels 5 Mariners 1

SF 49ers 27 Seahawks 7

The Mariners will need to salvage one game on Monday.

This series has come down

to no offense and lack of

pitching. 

The Mariners have no Suarez

or Julio in the lineup. They

have been a major sourse

of their offense so not a big

surprise. The pitching which

has been good most of the

season hasn't been in two

out of the three games. 

Only George Kirby has 

pitched well which isn't a

surprised. He lost without

any offense support. 

Marco Gonzales started the

game and went six plus innings. Gave up a run in 

first and two more in the

third. I question having him

in the rotation especially

in a losing streak. Someone

pointed out you have to keep

the starters in a routine.

Makes sense so when the Mariners had those days off

a lot in August they should

have gone to a four man rotation. 

The Seahawks game was

lack of offense and mistakes.

The Seahawks only score

was a blocked field goal

where cornerback Mike

Jackson picked it up and

ran 86 yards. Penalties cost

them on drives to. 

The Seahawks defense did

fine against the red zone but

not the running game. The

Seahawks have to fix it to

have any chance in games.

Come to offense is it time

to change quarterback or

give Geno another game.

At least the Seahawks are

tied for first place. 😊😊

Huskies Win Big

The Washington Huskies 

surprised everyone Saturday

evening beating Michigan State

39-28. 

The game wasn't even that close as the Huskies had

22 unanswered points before

the Spartans scored in the

second quarter.

Michael Penix Jr threw over

300 yards. Neither team

ran the ball effectively. The biggest surprise since the

Huskies did well in the first

two games of the season.

The Spartans running game

was supposed  to be their

strength but had like 10 yards

on the ground in the first half.

The Spartans had to abandoned the running game

to have any chance in a win.

The 4th quarter Spartans had

two touchdowns while the

Huskies kicked a field goal though had a chance for

another TD.

This means the Huskies 

should be in the top 25

this coming week. They take

on the Stanford Cardinal

next Saturday.

The Washington State Cougars

beat Colorado State 38-17.

Not a surprise since the Cougars were a 17 point favorite. Nice to know both

Huskies and Cougars are

3-0. It would be great if

the Apple Cup ends up 

meaning a lot to both teams.

The Seahawks are on the road

Sunday afternoon against

the SF 49er. This will be a tough

one as the 49ers won't want

to go 0-2. Wish the Hawks

their best. 

The Mariners lost a tough

game Saturday night 2-1

by the Angels. The Mariners

will need to win Sunday

afternoon to have a chance

to even the series on Monday.

Eugenio Suarez had to go on 

injured list for hurting his 

index finger. He believes not

too bad so we hope Suarez

returns after 10 days.

Dylan Moore was activated

taking Suarez spot. The 

Mariners will miss the power

Suarez generates. He will be

on the bench to support his

teammates. Go M's.

Mariners Lose to Angels

Though the Angels are having a

poor season beating the Mariners

some they have done.

Angels 8 Mariners 7   Friday night

The Mariners have a record 8-6

against the Angels because of a 

sweep in August in Anaheim.

The Angels didn't have Trout 

in.that series. Trout had a home 

 in this game off of Robbie

Ray in the 5th inning. 

Robbie Ray shutout Cleveland 

on September 3 but gave up

four runs in his previous start

against Atlanta then five in 

this one. Important for the 

Mariners to have Ray get back 

on track. Ray has three starts left

as the Mariners end the season

unless they hold him back depending

on the playoffs. He could start the

third game and only pitch a few

innings if the Mariners clinch a

spot. Right now he  would have

a scheduled start on September 

27th against the Rangers after a

dayoff. They could pitch him on 

the 25th a day earlier. This means 

he could start the first game of the

playoffs or third game staying on

rotation depending the playoffs

start. In any case three starts left

in the season.

Eugenio Suarez hurt an index 

finger Friday night and had to.leave the game. Not sure how bad

but likely not in Saturday's game

we will see.

George Kirby faces Ohtani Saturday

night. I don't think.it will faze Kirby

in the least which we hope for a

victory.

The Huskies take on Michigan State

so we hope for a 3-0 record after.

Go Dawgs. 

Mariners Even Series

Wednesday afternoon the Mariners

beat the San Diego Padres 6-1.

Julio Rodriguez opened Mariners

half of the first inning hitting a

home run. It was his fourth of the

season tying Ichiro who did once.

Eugenio Suarez hit his 31st home run

two batters later with Ty France on

base. Carlos Santana hit a three run 

homer in the fifth inning with Julio

and Ty on base.  Suarez is hitting

home runs at a good pass right now.

Carlos knows when to hit them to.

Luis Castillo went six innings which

has been accustomed for the Mariners

starters. Keep them ready for the playoffs.  He gave up four hits, no runs,

one walk and strike out nine.

The Mariners now go to Anaheim

to take on the Angels in four games.

Mike Trout is back playing for the Angels. The Angels are playing to

see if they can ruine things for the

Mariners. The Mariner go to Oakland

followed by the Royals in Kansas City.

The Mariners should continue adding

wins. 

Tough Loss For Mariners

The Seattle Mariners lost 2-0

Tuesday night.

Good pitching my Logan Gilbert

giving up one run in five innings.

The only run came in the 4th 

inning. He wasn't sharp as he 

has been.

The Mariners were only able to

collect three hits. They are good

but the offense doesn't always 

click. They had to go against

Du Darvish who is having a good

season now with a 14-7 record.

See what the Mariners can do 

on Wednesday.

The Seahawks Win

The Seahawks did it winning Monday

night 17-16.

The Seahawks scored all 17 points 

in the first half. They held off Russell

Wilson in the second half. The Broncos

should have scored a touchdown to

go ahead in the second half but the

Seahawks caused a fumble they recovered in the end zone.

Will Dissly and Colby Parkinson the

Seahawks two of three tight ends 

caught the two touchdown passes

on the day.

Geno Smith was extremely good in

the first half completing 17 of 18

passes. If Geno can play a steady

game and the Seahawks make several

touchdowns may turn out to be a good

season.

The Seahawks will play the San Francisco 49ers next Sunday. The

Seahawks will see if they can win again. Right now they are in first 

place as the other three teams in

the division all lost. Go Hawks!

The Mariners take on San Diego

in a two game series beginning

on Tuesday. It will be nice if the

Mariners can take both. We will

see what happens. They follow

playing the Angels. The Mariners

may clinch second place by the 

time or during when playing the

Angels. 

The Mariners should make the 

playoffs with the schedule coming

up. The pitching should keep them

in most games.  Go M's.

Seahawks Have A Chance and Mariners Finish in 9th

The Seattle Seahawks will lead

the NFC West if they beat the

Denver Broncos on Monday night.

The Rams lost to Buffalo Thursday.

SF 49ers to Chicago Bears 19-10

and the Arizona Cardinals to

the Chiefs.

Regardless what happens the  Seahawks will be in the race after 

week one. Shows the NFC West

isn't as strong as they thought.

The Mariners looked like they were going to lose Sunday's game to

Atlanta after having a 6-2 lead going

into the 9th. The Braves hit two home

runs to score five runs. Miracles do

happen they scored two runs in.the 

bottom of the 9th. Diego Castillo gave

up a three run homer and Paul Sewald

a two run homer. 

The Mariners make it into the playoffs 

this game may do it. Julio Rodriguez hit a home run to lead off the game. 

Eugenio Suarez hit a home run. In the 9th Julio tied the game with another

and Suarez the winning home run.

Julio now has 25 home runs and Suarez 30. Way to go guys when the

bullpen didn't have it.

The Mariners have Monday off then

faces the San Diego Padres  on Tuesday and Wednesday.   

Mariners Even Series

George Kirby might be the number

one pitcher on the staff. At least he

is pitching that way.

George went six innings giving up 

an unearned run in the Mariners

3-1 victory. Had no walks and struck

out six. Can't say anything better. 

The bullpen did their job again not

giving up a hit. Sam Haggerty has

a home run. He certainly has been a surprise.

WSU Cougars upset Wisconsin on

Saturday afternoon 17-13 and Huskies

blewout Portland State 52-6. 

See if the Seahawks can make it

a clean sweep Monday Night.

Mariners Opening Loss

The Seattle Mariners are playing

the Atlanta Braves at home this

weekend. They lost the first game

6-4.

Robbie Ray had a poor start giving

up two runs in the first followed by

one in the fourth and fifth innings.

This was the worst start for Ray

in some time as he was pitcher of

the month in August. Hopefully he

will get back to his pitching.

Carlos Santana was the hitting star

as he had two home runs on the day

counting for three of the Mariners

four runs. JP Crawford had a rare

home run too.

We hope the Mariners can win Saturday's game and go forward.

They take on San Diego after this

series beginning on Tuesday. 

The schedule be easier starting 

with the Angels. 

Important the Mariners at least 

play even or somewhat above

to asure a playoff spot.

The Washington Huskies have afternoon game in Seattle against

the Portland State Vikings. The 

Huskies should win but take the 

Vikings serious.

Seahawks Season Begins Monday

The Seahawks begin their season

on Monday night against the Denver

Broncos. 

I am sure every 12th man has opinion

whether they win or lose. Whether it

is a blowout or not.

I hope the Seahawks play a descent

game. Winning would be the best but 

not sure it will happen.

First of all the running game for the

Seahawks have to be good with an

occasion pass to keep Broncos defense in check. Geno Smith likely

be like Russell Wilson when he came

to town a game manager. Not too

many mistakes. Keep the Broncos

offense off the field as much as possible.

Seahawks defense is questionable

as well. At least tell it gets on the 

field. The cornerbacks are my most

concern. This whether going with

the experience ones or the rookies.

The pass rush needs to be there to

some degree as well. I am sure

Russell Wilson will try to explode

the Seahawks defense. Long passes

against the corners. Have to watch

Russell from running as well especially

to get first downs. Do well in the red

zone. Better to give up field goals.

Go Hawks! Enjoy the game. 😊😊

Mariners Blow Game

The Mariners were beaten Wednesday

9-6 by the White Sox who took the series.

Luis Castillo had a good start striking out  the first seven batters he faced. 

Leading 3-1 primarily on a Eugenio Suarez home run every thing looked 

like another Mariners victory.

Didn't turn out the game would end 

like many before. Castillo got hit in 

the sixth inning where the Sox took

the lead 6-4. My thought Servais 

should have taken Castillo out when

it was a 4-4.  There was tough luck

involved to. 

The eighth inning the Sox scored

three more runs which had to do

with fielding errors. Mariners were

not able to recover again.

Suarez had a second homer to tie the

game  at six. He had his one thousandth hit of his career. 

With Kyle Seager leaving after last season when the Mariners didn't take up his option Suarez  has been a good surprise with his glove as well as his hitting. 

It would be nice to find another one like

Suarez during the off season. Jesse Winker has been somewhat of a disappointment. I have heard on social

media fans think Winker should be

used primarily at dh. Trouble the

Mariners have several others being

used at dh though he does at least 

once a week.

Look toward next season will we 

see Kyle Lewis back. We hope for a

healthy off-season. If so we could

see Lewis and Winker sharing left

field well as dh. Mitch Haniger

returns he will spend time on occasion

at dh as well. Having Winker and Lewis

three games each a week at dh then

Haniger in the seventh game. Lewis

healthy enough four in the field.

This could depend who will be an

additional outfielder. Think more

about in late October. Go M's. 

Mariners End Winning Streak

The Mariners  streak came  to  an 

end on Labor Day afternoon  after

a long day Sunday.  Not a big surprise.

You have to figure  the Chicago White 

Sox are going to do their best since

they are fighting  to get into  the wild

card as well.  

I  am  not  sure  I  would have started 

Marco Gonzales  since it was the first

game of the series but I am  not  the 

boss. Marco gave up three runs  early 

including two  home runs. Marco went

seven innings.

Chicago 3 Seattle 2

The White Sox and Mariners  each

had a run in the second.  The White 

Sox got the other two on a home run 

in the third. The Mariners didn’t get

a hit for 19 straight  batters until 

Julio had a hit but was left stranded.

The Mariners  got a run in the 9th

where Cal Raleigh got a double. 

Eugenio Suarez  was walked. He

pinch hit for Trammell. Sam Haggerty 

pinch run for Suarez.  JP Crawford 

got a loop single  scoring Raleigh 

but Haggerty  was given the stop

sign. Adam Frazier  pinch hit for

Toro and struck out to end the game.

If it were me I  would  have  sent Haggerty 

home though he could have been  out.

Another thing is I am  not  a big fan  of 

using two pinch hitters in an inning. How

many times have the Mariners been

successful  in  that manner  not many.

Though he hasn't  hit well and was sent

down Toro  has done good late in games.

Along with being  up at the plate already.

Mariners Seven Wins In a Row

The Mariners  game finally ended

after a long day  including a long rain 

delay.

The game started while I  was  in  church.

The delay happened  after the third inning 

while I  was grocery  shopping.  The Mariners 

were  leading 3-1.

The game picked up in late  afternoon and 

concluded around 8 pm pacific  time. The

Guardians were able  to  tie the game late

to go into  extra innings.  Neither  team scored

in the 10th  inning  though both had the bases 

loaded with two outs. 

In the 11th  inning  JP Crawford  drove in the 

runner from second. So made it feel good.

Cal Raleigh  hit a home run to  make the final 

score 6-3. Chris Flexen last of the  nine relievers 

who all pitched in the game got all three Guardians 

out.

The Mariners  now come home to  play  three

games against  the  Chicago  White Sox. I  am 

sure they will  feel  good  to have  day  off  on 

Thursday.  Loo, forward  to see the streak continue.

Mariners Game was Delayed

The Seattle Mariners game in

Cleveland was delayed after

playing three innings. Mariners

leading 2-1. 

Thought the game would have to concluded on another day however after almost five hours they got 

things going. The game is now

official now that they are in the 

sixth inning with the Mariners leading

3-1.  So even if rain come again

they can call it quits at some point.

Let you know how it ends.

In college football Washington Huskies

beat Kent State on Saturday night 

45-20.  What a great game for the

Huskies. Michael Penix Jr certainly

was the right choice. He felt comfortable the whole time played.

The offensive line was amazing. Didn't

have an offside penalty all night that

I recall. May have not called for

holding call either. 

The offensive line didn't look this good

all last season. The defense hard to tell

at all. They give up some plays but

for the most part good. Special teams 

looked like they need improvement.

The Cougars on the other hand had

to come back from a ten point defeceit. They beat Idaho 24-17.

Mariners Shutout Guardians

The Mariners continue pitching well 

against the Cleveland Guardians.

They gave up no runs and scored 

four runs themselves. Robbie Ray

continues the starting pitchers going 

six innings. The Mariners got off

having one run in first inning with Ty France homer. Second inning scored 

another. Two runs in fifth inning. 

Nice to see Ty hitting well again.

Mariners had only seven hits and no player had no more than one. Outside 

of France home run every one else had singles. 

Mariners have been able to go with

three relievers once again. The Mariners have nine relievers including

Chris Flexen moved from starting 

rotation.  Plenty of rest for bullpen.

Mariners Win Again

Friday the Mariners  won fifth

game in a row and fourth on

current  road trip.

Seattle  6 Cleveland  1

Luis Castillo  went  six innings

giving  up no runs. He may have 

gone further  but no reason to do 

so. In the top of the seventh inning 

Cal Raleigh hit his second  homer

of the game with two runners on

 base.  Cal  now has 21 home runs

on the  season. 

As I thought  Cal Raleigh showed have

 been the starter  at catcher  from the 

beginning  of  the  season.  When the

season  started the  Mariners  were 

alternating between Raleigh,  Tom Murphy, 

and Luis  Torrens. Only catching every

three games  for Raleigh obviously hurt him. 

He was sent down  to triple-A Tacoma but

only lasted a  few days  because  Murphy 

was hurt which turned out  was for the season. 

Torrens  had trouble  at the plate and   not as

good  defensively as Cal. Torrens was sent down 

to Tacoma himself  in August.  Now  Cal is

and future  starting catcher for the M's. 

Seahawks by position

The Seahawks roster may change

still more before opening night on

September 12.

We begin with Geno Smith and Drew Lock at quarterback. Want to know 

how long that last.

They are going with four running

backs Rashaad Penny leading the

way. At wide receiver there are six

led by Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf.

The question will they be able to

catch long passes or stick to short

or medium ones.

They are going with three tight ends.

Sure they will carry one in the practice squad. Nine offensive line. This means

four backups with someone or more

at multiple positions.

On defense they listed eight originally

however LJ Collier begins on injured 

list on the line. Linebacker shows eight. At least two are edge rushers

previously known as defensive ends.

At this point going with seven cornerbacks as Justin Coleman was

added back on to play nickel back.

At safety they have five on roster.

At times they may have three safeties

going since Jamal Adams will move

around. Punter, kicker and long snapper stay the same

Any other moves and more about each

position we let you know. Go Hawks!

Mariners Sweep Tigers

The Mariners did what they hope

for by sweeping Detroit. Another

easy game winning 7-0 behind Logan 

Gilbert six innings and two hits. 

I am sure they could have left him

in but want to keep his innings down.

The Mariners had Matt Boyd pitch

the eighth inning after being activated

when rosters expanded Thursday.

Taylor Trammel started in right field

after being activated to. We will see

some of him through September either

starting or coming late in games.

Boyd is used to being a starter but

will be coming out of the bullpen.

He is the only lefty in relief. May go

a couple innings if necessary.  Trammel likely start against righties

like he was when he was up earlier.

This will allow Haniger rest on.occasion though will dh when 

not in right field. Now the question

what does Jarred Kelenic future as

a Mariner look like. 

Speaking of future Jesse Winker has

contract through 2023. Will he stick

around or not. Are the Mariners going to extend him or not. The only thing

we know Julio Rodriguez will be

around in the outfield. Right and left

is questioned. You have to figure Trammel or Kelenic will be the fourth

outfielder in 2023. If Winker or Haniger

are gone one will start though the

Mariners could bring someone else.

Though the season is five weeks before playoffs which Mariners should

make we can do some speculation

on next season. Stay tuned!

If you haven't heard Russell Wilson

signed an extension with Denver.

A five year deal for $245 million

with $165 guaranteed. If you haven't

figured the guarantee is $33 million.

A good reason the Seahawks traded 

him.

Seahawks added Justin Coleman 

back to the roster. LJ Collier added 

to injured list. Be out for at least four

games. Other players added to.practice squad. We will see if any of them will

play this season.

Seven Seahawks draft players made 

the roster plus two undrafted rookies

made it to. Let you know who.they

are at the right time.

Nice college football starts this weekend for the Huskies and Cougars.

Let you know those games go. Look

forward to victories for both teams.

Mariners Take Second Game

It is nice to see the Mariners

took the second game of the

series Wednesday night 5-3.

The game was closer than Tuesday's

game. Marco Gonzales got off to

a rough start but got things back

on track. 

The Mariners scored first with

Eugenio Suarez hitting a two run

homer than the Tigers tied it in 

the second. Marco gave up a run

in the sixth his last inning however

Abraham Toro hit a two run homer

in the seventh to give Marco the 

win. The Mariners got another

run in the ninth.

Andre Munoz, Erik Swanson and

Paul Sewald gave up one hit total

the last three innings to guarantee

the series win.

The Mariners take on Tigers in

the final in afternoon game. Here

will start in the morning.

The Seahawks made some moves

Wednesday. Let you know later 

about the moves and more.
