Angels Take Series In Seattle

I am sure most of us figure the Angels
would win the final game of the series
with Ohtani pitching  A lot of fans 
watched Ohtani warming up in the
bullpen before the game. I hope a good sign so the Mariners can sign him 
after the season. Before the first
game on Monday he gave honor
to Ichiro as well. Be nice a good sign.
The Mariners though need to make
the playoffs to be a contender to
sign him.

Ohtani didn't have his best performance
with four walks and two hit batters. The
Mariners were not able to take advantage
with only three hits and scoring only
once in six innings. Ohtani did strike out
eight Mariners. The Mariners need to do
the little things to score runs and not
make mistakes.

The Mariners scored two runs in the
seventh making it the score Angels 4 
Mariners 3. Unfortunately they were
unable to add on in the 8th or 9th
innings to at least tie the game.
Maybe on.the road the Mariners
will do better. No game on Thursday.
They play the Guardians in a three
game series in Cleveland on Friday.
It would be nice two take at least
two games.

Eugenio Suarez was the hitting star
for the Mariners with two hits and
driving in two runs. He did make a
mistake being an out in run down.
He did admit the mistake after the
game. Probably won't see him do
that again at least for a while.

Chris Flexen pitched well going five
innings. He made one mistake giving
up a home run to catcher Logan 
O'Hoppe. A no no since Logan bats
ninth and his second home run of the
season. Hopefully Flexen will go six
innings in.his next outing.

Diego Castillo gave up the other two runs
in the seventh inning. Castillo and Sewald
are two pitchers who have struggled 
coming out of the bullpen. The rest of
the guys are doing fine.

Announced Wednesday Noah Williams 
is using the transfer portal. The Huskies
now have seven players who are 
transferring. Still need to hear from
Keion Brooks Jr whether he is staying
or going.

The Huskies will need to bring in
at least two guards and a forward 
to have a competitive team. Right
now they have no real bench. I am
sure AD Jennifer Cohen didn't expect
this with Coach Hopkins coming
back for another year. After four
disappointing seasons Hopkins
has to turn around the ship to 
have a coaching job at Washington
beyond next season unless Cohen
expects to keep him around for
his final year of contract no matter 
what.
