locally making the playoffs for the
first time in 21 years. They did so well
though they were swept by the Houston
Astros it was only by three pitches.
It took 18 innings in the third game for
the Astros to win the game and they
went on to win the World Series.
The Mariners have made two trades so
far to improve the offense. They picked
up Teoscar Hernandez from Toronto and
Kolten Wong from Milwaukee. The Mariners lost
Mitch Haniger in the process to the SF
Giants and Adam Frazier to Baltimore in
free agency.
Hernandez trade they lost Erik Swanson out of
the bullpen after a success season. Left fielder
Jesse Winker and Abraham Toro for Wong. Both
of them had terrible seasons for the Mariners.
Wong a left handed hitting second baseman may
platoon with Dylan Moore. The Mariners hope
to pick up at least one or maybe two more bats
before spring training.
The Washington Huskies were the second best
story under new head coach Kalen DeBoer having
a record of 10-2 and going to play Texas in the
Alamo Bowl on December 29. Along with DeBoer
was the quarterback Michael Penix Jr who led
the country in passing and announced an oncore
coming back in 2023. At this point it looks his
receivers will return too.
Pro Football the big story was Russell Wilson being
traded to the Denver Broncos. The Seahawks may not
make the playoffs after having a good time in the
middle of the season. They will get the Broncos
number one pick and number two pick in 2023.
Denver's top pick right now is at 3 going into the
final two games of the season. Will the Seahawks
draft a quarterback in the first round or not. The
Seahawks could use more help on the defense
either on the line or linebacker. If they choose not
to draft a quarterback we could see them trading
down and adding additional draft picks.
The Seattle Kraken didn't make the playoffs in their
expansion season, however, they could in 2023
as they are having a winning record. They are doing
much better especially in the third period.
Washington State Cougars had a good record in 2022
though losing in their Bowl game. They will be
bringing on a new offense and defensive coordinators.
Should no shortly.
As the Pac-12 men's basketball season is starting
this week neither the Huskies or Cougars look like
they will have success. We hope they will surprise
us.
Look forward to 2023 where we will explore the
highs and lows of these teams along with Gonzaga.
We hope for some excitement.
