Mariners Take Game Two In San Diego

It wasn't easy for the Mariners and

Padres as it rained much of the game.

The game was pretty tight and Cal

hit amamoth home run late in the

game. Going into the ninth the

Mariners were up by one run.a single

Donovan Solano did a fine job

hitting off a bunch of pitches

before walking. Dylan Moore 

seeing the pitches hit a single 

early to drive in two.runs.

Final Mariners 4  Padres 1

Emerson pitches well though 

getting into some tough situations

and getting them out. Gabe Speier

game in with two outs and runners

on base. He got a tough lefty out.

He pitched the sixth as well. Matt

Brash pitched the seventh. For

the first time Munoz came in the

8th to get the final out then took

care of three hitters in the ninth.

Bryan Woo will start Sunday. 

Against the Yankees he pitched

a close game and a victory. 

Expect this one to be close as

well. We hope the Mariners can

sweep the Padres and then onto

Chicago to face the White Sox 

for three.

The Mariners are now 25-19.

The Rangers at 25-22.

Go M's.

Mariners Beat Padres On the Road

The Seattle Mariners beat the

Padres Friday night 5-1. The 

Padres are second to the

Dodgers in the NL West and

played well at home.

The Mariners only won one

game against the Yankees

in the last home series and

swept by the Blue Jays before

that. The Oakland A's didn't 

win well either. They are now

in fourth place. Rangers and

Astros are ahead of the A's.

Rookie Logan Evans had his

best start going six innings.

He gave up seven hits however

no runs and walked only one 

and struck out four. The Mariners

should have George Kirby soon

and Logan Gilbert shortly after.

Likely Evans will be sent back to

Tacoma but will be available 

if needed again. 

JP Crawford was back in the

lineup after missing Wednesday

game against the Yankees. He

led off the game with a home run.

Rowdy Tellez hit a two-run homer 

in the 4th inning. Cal Raleigh had 

his 14th homer in.the sixth

inning also for two runs. 

The bullpen did a good job.

Collin Snider gave up the

only hit and run from the 

relievers in three innings.

Emerson Hancock starts

Saturday evening for the

Mariners. Be nice if he can

go six innings too. Go.M's.

Seahawks Schedule and the Storm

The Seahawks schedule for this

coming season came out this week.

Interesting is they open up against

the San Francisco 49ers at home.

A bit of a surprise since they usually

don't play until Thanksgiving or after.

They follow playing the Steelers in

Pittsburgh then New Orlean Saints 

and the Cardinals in Arizona for the 

first four games. This will give us 

an idea how good they maybe.

They finish the season with the

Cardinals at home in game nine.

First game against the Rams is

game ten in Los Angeles.

The last game is interesting to

since they play the 49ers in

San Francisco. The schedule

looks easy facing every team

in NFC and AFC south divisions.

I believe the Seahawks will win

ten games again or eleven.

How effective running the ball

will determine how many wins.

The Seattle Storm begins their 

season on Saturday at Phoenix

followed by Monday at Dallas.

They open at home next Friday

against Phoenix. 

We will see how they do in those 

three  games. We wish them the

best.

Mariners Minor League This Week

The Tacoma Rainiers are no

longer in the bottom of the

league though have 17-24 

record and have won three

games in a row heading into

Thursday game. The Angels

triple A team at the bottom.

Second baseman Cole Young

was named player of the week

between May 6 and the 11th.

He hit .455 during that time.

He currently hitting .233.

Harry Ford has done well late

to increasing his average to

.291. He was in the low 200s.

The question is he about ready

to be called up to Seattle we

will see.

At double A Arkansas pitcher 

Adam Seminaris was named 

pitcher of the week for his

performance on May 10 where

he went five innings allowing

two hits and no runs while 

striking out five. The Mariners 

are not allowing starters to go

more than five innings. 

Seminaris is a lefty who is 26

years old and in his fifth year

in the minors. He signed as a

minor league free agent during

the last offseason. He isn't

listed among the Mariners top

30 prospects so he could be

a steal.

 Everett AcquaSox still at the

bottom of the league though

have several top prospects.

Next week let you know how

the guys are doing. 

Modesto Nuts are still at the

top winning at 60 percent clip.

Ryan Sloan number two pick

in last year's draft the former

high school pitcher went four

innings this week and gave up

two runs. His era is currently

at 3.54. He walked a couple 

and struck out four hitters. 

We will let you know Sloan process

will be over the season as well as

others.  

The Mariners will have the third

overall in the upcoming draft.

This should be an outstanding

pick whether a pitcher or s

position player. Go M's.

Seahawks Quarterbacks

It has been quite the offseason 

for the Seahawks especially on

the offense. The 2025-26 season

will look much different.

At quarterback the Seahawks 

dealt Geno Smith to the Las

Vegas Raiders followed by 

signingnfree agent Sam Darnold 

and  reacquiring  Drew Lock just

before the NFL draft. 

During the draft  they select

Alabama quarterback  Jalen

Milroe in the third round.

The Seahawks hadn't drafted

a quarterback since they 

did Russell Wilson also

in the third round.

Milroe has a lot of athletic

ability to be able to run as

well as pass. We could see

Milroe play more than Lock.

There is a good chance he

will be the future starting

quarterback depending on

how well Darnold does. 

Milroe could see some playing

time this coming season 

especially in the redzone.

We could see Milroe and

Darnold in the game at the

same time. 

Next time up we will look at

the defensive line unless

more news comes up. The

unknown right now makes

things real exciting. Go Hawks.

Yankees Edge Mariners

The Mariners  scored early  when Julio

hit a double to score Traveras  early.  

Julio starting  hit more now..

Luis Castillo  pitched well giving up

one run in the sixth inning. Speier

followed by giving up a home run

in the seventh.  Carlos Vargas gave

up a home run to Aaron Judge in the

eighth  for tge victory.  Tough way

to lose the game.

A couple hours before  the  game

 it was announced that Bryce Miller  

who didn't  pitch well in his last

outing was going on the injured list.

He is expected  to  be back at the

end of the 15 days. The Mariners  

brough up Jhonathan Diaz from

Tacoma. The  Mariners having

Thursday  off Diaz will likely  be 

in the bullpen. This will allow the

Mariners  have  nine relievers as

the go play the Padres in San Diego.

After that the Mariners  ho play three

against the White Sox in Chicago 

followed by four against the Astros 

before coming home. The Mariners 

will go likely  with four starters in

the three games against the Padres

and the first against the White Sox.

They will need a fifth starter in the

Astros series. There is a good 

chance that George  Kirby will

be available  in the Astros series.

There is a possibility  Logan Gilbert 

will be available  on the return home. 

Go M's. 

Mariners Win the Eleventh

Bryan  Woo  pitched an outstanding game 

on Tuesday  night going six and a third 

innings giving up no runs  on four hits.

Woo must be the best fastball  pitcher

in the majors. Even Aaron  Judge couldn't 

get hold of it.

The Mariners  led one to nothing  until

the ninth  inning. Julio Rodriguez had

the only run in the game when Cal 

Raleigh hit a double and he scored  

from first base.

The Yankees  scored a run on a throwing 

error by Dylan Moore  when he was moved

to first base. In the bottom  of  the  tenth

they used Rowdy Tellez  to pinch hit with

a runner on third and one out. I  am  not

sure why using him since he is a home run

hitter and he popped up. No run in the 10th.

In the11th inning JP hit in the winning run.

Wednesday  afternoon  will be the  final 

game of the series. Luis Castillo  starts

for the Mariners.  We hope his fastball 

is on. Go M's. 

Mariners Lose Fourth Straight

Every team goes through times

of struggle in the season and 

right now they have lost four 

straight.

The trouble hss been their pitching

for the most part and unexpected

at that. Emerson Hancock got

off to a good start giving up a

home run in the third inning.

Julio hit a home run in the first

and Polanco one in the third.

In the fifth inning Hancock 

ended up getting hit hard

and the Yankees scored

six runs including two home 

runs. By the way Aaron Judge 

didn't have one of them. He 

hit the ball hard with two hits.

The Mariners starters of late 

have had trouble getting through

five innings. Don't want to over 

use the bullpen however they

need someone ready in the

fifth inning if necessary.

When George Kirby and Logan

Gilbert are back I suggest to

have Emerson Hancock in the

bullpen. He would be the long

reliever who can go at least 

a couple of innings. 

Final Yankees 11 Mariners 5

Bryan Woo starts on Tuesday

night. We hope for a rebound

from him. He is good at that.

Go M's.

Mariners Swept

The Mariners took series Toronto

however this series in Seattle the

Blue Jays swept the Mariners.

Sunday the Mariners lost 9-1.

The Mariners were not into any of 

the games as far as winning.

Every team games through this

in the season at some point.

Now we hope they can bounce

back. Emerson Hancock

will start on Monday for the M's.

The only run the Mariners had 

was by Dylan Moore with a solo

home run. What I don't understand

is why Leo Rivas didn't start a

game in the series when he has

made a big difference. In game

one he pinch run for Arozarena

and then Sunday game they

had him pitch the 9th. In this

case they should never us an

infielder to pitch. The game

should end right there.

Bryce Miller started out well

however ended giving up

seven runs in five innings.

He gave up a three-run home

run to George Springer. The

announcers said his fastball

went only 92 miles per hour.

What are the Mariners going

to do about him.

Go M's.

Mariners Lose Game 2

It hss been a while since the Mariners 

have lost game two in a series  and now 

they have snapped  a  series winning 

streak at nine. Now they will  have  to 

start a new one. It won't  be  easy  since

they face the NY Yankees  on Monday.

Sunday the Mariners  will avoid a sweep.  

They have done well against the Blue

Jays in recent years. Saturday  they lost

6-3. 

Logan Evans started out well. He didn't 

give up a run until the fifth inning when

he gave up two. The Mariners  had already 

scored their three runs so had the lead still.

Evans gave up another run in the sixth

then left the game without getting an out.

A youngster like Evans my opinion they

should have taken him out after the fifth

since he had the lead. I know they don't 

want to over use the bullpen.  Like using

Bryan Woo  last season  they had to use

an extra reliever in his starts. 

George Kirby  Saturday  night did another

rehab assignment  in Tacoma. Kirby went

three and struck out five. We know when

he is ready to be activated Evans will be

sent back to Tacoma. 

Carlos Vargas  who pitched the eighth

inning for the  Mariners  gave up the

final three runs for the Blue Jays. He

has pitched well  in relief however the

eighth inning doesn't  seem to be the 

spot. The Mariners  don't  really have

someone to pitch the eighth in except

maybe lefty Gabe Speier. In fact he

came in the sixth  inning followed by

Matt Brash in the seventh who could 

have pitched the eighth inning. Next

time have Vargas come in the sixth

where he has been more successful. 

Bryce Miller  starts Sunday  for the 

Mariners. As of late he is another

one whose innings need to be 

watched. Hopefully  we will see

a victory.  Go M's. 

Friday Night Loss By Mariners

Mariners continued losing most

of the first games than coming 

back to win the series in the

other ones. We hope the trend

continues.

Luis Castillo struggled giving

up two runs in the first and three

in third. He went five innings.

The Mariners bullpen did a good 

job keeping them in the game.

The Mariners scored a run in

the third and two in the sixth.

They had opportunities to

score more however couldn't

do it. Julio and Arozarena each

had two hits so a good sign.

Final  score  Toronto 6 Seattle  3

Now the Mariners  have  lost

reliever Trent  Thornton to the

injured  list  with appendicitis.

Rough going for the  Mariners. 

Logan  Evans expected to start 

Saturday  night. Go M's 

Seattle Mariners Minor League Report

The Mariners Everett Aquasox shows

not only a talented group but a few

that could end up superstars in a

Mariners uniform.

Outfielder and designated hitter

Lazaro Montes last weekend hit

two runs to make seven on the

season already. He was named

Northwest League player of the

week for the second time. His

home run total leads the league 

too.

Colt Emerson is the Mariners top

pick two years ago is now hitting

.264 and had his first two home 

runs of the season recently. As

tge season goes by his average

should go up. Tai Peete who was

another first round and moved from

short to center field is hitting

.259 and has four home runs on

the season.

Last year's first round pick pitcher

Jurrangelo Cijntje who can throw

both right and left handed. Recently

Mariners President Jerry Dipoto

said that he has dominated at

Everett throwing from the right

side however not so much from

the left. Right now he will pitch

only right handed. At a later date

he could pitch left again  if his 

velocity goes up. 

Low A Modesto who got off to

hot start is now 19-10 and still

in first place. Shortstop Felnin

Celesten average has gone 

down to .314. He has two

home runs and third with 20

RBIs on the team. This team 

doesn't hit a lot of home runs.

Ryan Sloan number two pick

last year has started five

time however only pitched 

sixteen innings. Sloan has

given up only one home run.

He has only walked five

batters while striking out 19.

Double A Arkansas has had

trouble lately going 3-7 in

the last ten games though

they are 16-12 on the season.

The Travelers are not a home

run hitting team either. Outfielder

Victor Labrada leads with a .289

average and three home runs.

They have some good starting

pitching along with bullpen.

If the Mariners need relieving 

help then could dip down

to double A.

The Tacoma Rainiers continue

to struggle by record being now

at 12-23. The Mariners have had

to make some moves both in

position players and pitching.

Both Ben Williamson and Leo

Rivas have helped the Mariners

since being called up.  Williamson 

has done well where he will be

playing third base most of the

time. Jorge Polanco who is hitting

very well will be at dh and second

base mostly though he could see a time on rare occasions at third.

Rhylan Thomas who made a few

starts in the Mariners outfield

doing a fine job was sent back

to Tacoma when the Mariners 

acquire Leody Traveras from the

Texas Rangers. This shows the

Mariners have depth. They returned

Samad Taylor back when Dylan

Moore was activated.

Dominic Canzone has hit recently

raiding his average for the Rainiers306 and has six home runs to . Harry Ford

and Cole Young are hitting well 

though not getting much results.

Ben Williamson showing his Tacoma

results were a big thing coming to

Seattle. Ford is catching a little more

frequent than starting the season.Young has played more

games than any Rainier player.

The pitching I would say is why

the Rainers are not doing well. 

Logan Evans was promoted

and not much else in starting.

Mariners hope Troy Taylor can

correct himself at Tacoma.

We will give another report next 

week.

Seahawks Wide Receivers

When the last season and the

Seahawks decided to go to

another offensive coordinator

they went another direction

in the offense as well.

The Seahawks decided to

go with a more running 

offense and going to start

with two wide receivers 

instead of three. Also to

bring in a fullback as well.

The Seahawks decided to

release long time receiver

Tyler Lockett who is second

in many career records at

wide receiver behind Seahawks

hall of famer Steve Largent.

Lockett eventually signed with

the Tennessee Titans to continue

his NFL career. Also DK Metcalf

asked to be traded which he

ended up with the Pittsburgh 

Steelers. Jaxon Smith-Njigba

a first round pick in 2023 draft

is the only remaining starter.

Right after Metcalf the Seahawks

quarterback Geno Smith demanded

a trade too and joined former coach

Pete Carroll with the Las Vegas 

Raiders.

Seahawks signed former Rams

receiver Cooper Kupp along

with Marques Valdes-Scantling

and River Cracraft. Jake Bobo 

who the Seahawks signed as

undrafted college free agent

has been the fourth receiver.

The Seahawks drafted Tory

Horton this year in the 5th

round as well as Ricky White III

in the seventh round. They

have a few other receivers

vying for a spot. How many

receivers they may keep on

the active roster this coming

season it is hard to know 

right now. A guess would

be four or five along with

a couple on the practice

squad.

Since the Seahawks will go

with 24 or 25 offensive players

there are not a lot open spaces.

We will see how it works.

Go Hawks!

Mariners Win Another Series

The Mariners continue winning

series however Wednesday game

wasn't easy like any of them.

At least one thing is the Mariners

are winning close games this 

season. This one was amazing

since the A's are playing as well

too. The Mariners and A's could

be the top two teams in the AL

West division this year if things

keep going as is. Both may make

it to the playoffs and they both

be difficult on the other teams.

We will see.

Bryan Woo who has pitched

well against the A's didn't have

his best stuff in this one. He

was able to go six innings and

gave up all five the team's runs.

Be Williamson hit a double in

the fifth to bring in the first run.

In the six inning Rowdy Tellez

hit a three run homer to put

the team within one run. The

guy has shown his power 

recently and why he made

the team out of spring training.

In the 8th inning newly required

outfielder Leody Taveras hit his

first sing with the Mariners after

they picked him up from Texas

scoring Miles Mastrobuoni.  

Dylan Moore hit a double to

score and put the Mariners

ahead. Final 6-5 the Mariners.

The Mariners stay at this rate

for the season they have at 

least 98 wins. The most by far

since 2001.

The Seattle Mariners start a

series at home on Friday

against the Toronto Blue 

Jays. As we know the

Blue Jays will have fans

coming down from

the north. The way that

Cal Raleigh and the gang

have done recently against

this team it could be a lot

of fun. The Mariners will 

play the Yankees next after

that. This could be the highest

attendance home stand of

the season or at least until

September anyway.  

Luis Castillo who pitched 

outstanding in his last

outing will start on Friday.

Go M's. 

Mariners Late Rally Win

Tuesday night was another close

game between the Seattle Mariners

and the A's. 

Cal Raleigh for the first time on the

season didn't start a game whether

catcher or dh. The Mariners knew

they could use him if necessary

late in the game.

This happened in the ninth inning

with the bases loaded and down

by a run Cal Raleigh came in and

pinch hit for Mitch Garver. He hit

a single to right field scoring two

runs. Dylan Moore who was activated

off the injured list added another

run to make a two run lead which

was the final score 5-3.

Emerson Hanock started the game

and was able to go six innings giving

up two runs. Matt Brash came in

the seventh getting two.outs. Gabe

Speier finished the inning however

gave up the go ahead ahead run at

the time. Collin Snider pitched the

eighth. Carlos Vargas pitched the

ninth recording his first save.

In a surprise move the Mariners

acquired outfielder Leody Traveras

off waivers from the Texas Rangers.

Not sure he will be available available available or not he will be in Seattle

for the series against Toronto.

Go M's.

Mariners Lose In Extra Innings

The Seattle Mariners lost opening game Monday night in Sacramento

against the A's in eleven innings

7-6. 

The A's scored first with a run in

the first and second innings. The

Mariners had a rally scoring four 

runs in the third. Bryce Miller couldn't hold the lead giving up two runs in

the fourth for a tie. Miller has 

struggled in the last few of his starts.

He left after the fourth inning having

thrown 94 pitches.

The A's scored a run in the seventh

and Mariners responded in the 8th

inning. Both teams scored a run 

in the 10th. Mariners didn't in the

top of the 11th. Seattle manager

Dan Wilson decided to walk two 

batters intentionally in the 11th

however the A's were able to get

a single to win the game.

Dan Wilson took the blame for

intentional walks backfiring.

Ben Williamson continues

playing good defense at third

and he had a couple more hits

in the game. Rowdy Tellez is

starting to hit as he had two

hits in the game raising his

average to .211. JP Crawford

continues to do well having

two hits and two walks at the

top of the lineup.

Emerson Hancock has done

well recently starts Tuesday

night's game. We hope it

continues as the team has

responded in second games

of a series after losing the

first one. 

With the loss the Mariners are

one game ahead of the A's.

George Kirby had his first rehab

assignment on Sunday and

responded well going three

innings and giving up just one

hit. He is expected to have

two more. Logan Gilbert is

doing well in recovery too.

Not sure whether he will

take a rehab assignment or

not. We should see both of

them back near the end of

May as long as no set backs.

Go M's.

Seahawks Tight Ends

Adding a fullback position it

will be interesting to see

whether the Seahawks carry

three or even four tight ends

The team seem they might be interchangeable between full

back and  tight end.

Noah Fant right now is listed

as the starting tight end. I 

have heard from different

sources the Seahawks could

unload him. The Seahawks

acquired him in the Russell

Wilson trade and he is the

only tight end remaining

since then. The cap number

is the reason to unload him.

AJ Barber drafted in the fourth

round last year is listed second.

He is known for his blocking and

catching ability. Elijah Arroyo

drafted in gge second round is

at three right now however he

could move.

Next we will look at the Seahawks

wide receivers. The Seahawks look

to start two receivers and go with

a third on occasion. The Seahawks

had some changes at wide receiver

during the offseason. Go Hawks!

Sunday Lose Ends Mariners win streak

The first couple innings on Sunday's

the game looked like it might be

much like Saturday game being low

scoring however didn't happen.

The Mariners scored first in the third 

inning when Rivas singled and went

to third when JP Crawford singled.

Jorge Polanco hit a grounder to

second with Crawford running so

the Rangers couldn't come up

with a double play that would have

ended the inning so Rivas scored.

The bottom of the third the Rangers 

batted around on Logan Evans and

coming around for six runs. That

can happen going with  a pitcher

making only his second start.

Evans ended up going five innings

and giving up eleven hits and the

six runs. The Rangers added two

more runs in the eight inning.

Final Rangers 8 Mariners 1

The Mariners are now off to 

Sacramento to play three 

again the A's beginning Monday.

Bryce Miller will start Monday.

Go M's.

Mariners Win Again

Saturday evening the Mariners

beat the Rangers in Texas 2-1.

This another series win for the

Mariners.

JP Crawford led the game off

with a home run. The Rangers

tied it in the fourth when Corey

Seager tied it. He came off the

injured list.

The Mariners had plenty of hits 

with ten total however trouble

bringing more home.

The Rangers started a lefty

so Jorge Polanco didn't

start the however got a double

leading off the ninth which

included hustle to get in.

Polanco pinch hit for first

baseman Solano. Ben Williamson

hit a grounder to second base

to move  Polanco to third. 

Rowdy Tellez pinch hit for

Leo Rivas who had a good game 

at the plate including his first

double of the season. I expect

Tellez was up for his power 

however hit to a single to center

to win the game.

Luis Castillo had another quality

start going six innings giving up

the one run on four hits. It will

be important for noe that Castillo

continues well since Kirby and

Gilbert are on the injured list.

Kirby though is going to make

a rehab assignment on Sunday.

He may make three of them 

before being activated. Gilbert

might be back at the end of

May.

Matt Brash  was activated before

the game. Troy Taylor  was sent

to Tacoma to get things more

straighten out. We hope to see

him again before May is over.

Matt came in the seventh inning.

He gave up a hit however struck

out a Ranger too. I  am  sure  will

watch out how many times they

use him.

Gabe Speier  pitched the eighth

followed by Andre Munoz  which

is a good receipe. This his 12th

save without giving up a run on

the season. 

Logan Evans will make his second

start for the Mariners on Sunday

to see if they can sweep  it. 

The Mariners  are now 20-12. Only

the Detroit  Tigers have more wins

then the Mariners  in the  American 

League with 21. The Yankees lost

to Rays Saturday  have 19. The

Mariners have a three game lead

over the Astros and A's  in the

division.  Go M's  

Woo Does it Again

Bryan Woo has to be one of

the best starting pitchers in

the major leagues.

Friday night Woo went six

and one-thirds innings. He

was pitching a perfect game

into the fifth inning when

he gave up his only hit.

Woo didn't allow a walk and

struck out eight Rangers.

This is a good way to start 

a road trip.

Final was  Mariners 13  Rangers 1

It looked like after four innings 

this could be a tight game.  Cal

Raleigh hit a solo home run

that inning. Cal wasn't done he

hit a grand slam in the fifth 

inning. Amazing thing he had

two strikes before taking two

balls then the home run.

Maybe with warmer weather

Julio will get hot too. He hit

a two-run homer in the sixth

inning. Julio batted third 

between Polanco and Cal.

Every starter got at least

one hit and most had 

multiple hits.

Rhylan Thomas who made 

his major league debut with

the Mariners had his first

a double in his second at bat.

He scored his first run on

Cal's grand slam. Later he 

drove in a  run on a sacrifice fly

and another on a ground out.

The Mariners were allowed to

rest Andre Munoz once again.

Munoz was named AL reliever

for the month of April.

Luis Castillo will start Saturday

against the Rangers. If he

pitches like he did in his last

outing the Mariners have a

great shot at winning another

game. Go M's.

The Washington Huskies had 

their spring game Friday night.

The Gold team won. I don't

take a lot out of it since a lot

of guys played. We should

see whether they lick up

any players in the transfer

portal. Go Dawgs!

Seahawks Running Backs

The Seahawks have started new

as far as the running game goes.

It doesn't mean we won't see the

passing game as much however

in a different way. In fact if the

Seahawks running game is more

effective it will make the passing

game more effective.

So during the offseason there has

been rumors that starting running

back Kenneth Walker III was going 

to be traded. One of the teams he

was going to was the Las Vegas

Raiders. Even being traded during

the draft was mentioned which 

didn't happen.

As all Seahawks know Walker has

had a hard time staying healthy

and missing several games a season.

Walker has been known to be one

the top backs in the NFL. The trouble

has been the offensive line when he

has been healthy. Another issue 

could be Geno Smith since he seemed

like throwing the ball a lot. Now that

he Isn't here that should change.

The Seahawks still have Zach 

Charbonnet who was drafted in

the second round the year after

Walker was. To keep Walker 

healthy splitting the carries 

between the two would be a

good idea. They are different 

type of runners as well. 

The Seahawks have Kenneth

McIntosh who was drafted two

years ago in the seventh round.

He hasn't had a lot of carries.

Any players drafted in the

seventh round I am sure has 

some weakness too.

This draft the Seahawks got

another running back in the

seventh round in Damien 

Martinez who played last

year at Miami after transfer

from Oregon State. He will

be competition for the third

running  back with McIntosh. 

The Seahawks  drafted a fullback

in the fifth round last week. He is

Robbie Ouzts from Alabama.

He played tight end in college.

The Seahawks felt that he would

be perfect at fullback and he listed

first string on the depth chart

already.

Brady Russell who was listed at

tight end for two seasons with

the Seahawks primarily on special

teams was switched over to full

back before the draft. He is listed

as the second fullback right now.

We will get into the tight end

position next time unless the

Seahawks have other pressing

news. We could see Ouzts and

Russell in the game at the same 

time with one being second tight

end and the other at fullback.

Go Hawks. 

Seahawks Thursday

Now that hss been a week since 

the NFL draft I liked the look of

the Seahawks much better.

Look first at the offensive line

which was the biggest need.

The first round the Seahawks

drafted Greg Zabel out of North

Dakota State. His college career

he has played center, guard and 

most recently left tackle. The

Seahawks already have Charles 

Cross at left tackle and agreed

on his fifth year. Left guard is

considered the top position on

the offensive line. So at this

moment the thought is to improve

left guard in which Zabel is expect

to begin his career.

Being the starting left guard at the

moment doesn't mean he will stay

at the position. Center has been

a problem in most recent seasons

for the Seahawks. Former Alabama

coach Nick Saban said after Zabel 

was picked by the Seahawks center

could be his best position. Where 

Zabel ends up will depend on how

things work out on the whole line.

Abraham Lucas who was drafted

in 2022 in the third round where

Cross was taken in the first has 

had trouble staying healthy the

last couple seasons. There is a

thought that he could from right

tackle to right guard. If that happens

there are several candidates to

take over right tackle. We will

look at a later time if the Seahawks

consider it.

Currently Anthony Bradford is listed

as the starting right guard. He was

drafted in the fourth round in 2023.

Last year the Seahawks drafted 

Christian Haynes in the third round

to take over the spot however he

wasn't able to. This year the Seahawks

drafted Bryce Cabeldue in the sixth

round. At this point it is Bradford job

to loose unless Lucas is put into the

position.

We most likely won't know how things

will settle along the offensive line

until fall. The rookies have camp going

on so how much they impress may

help a little. They will have a few

mini camps during  offseason so

how things work out may happen.

The Seahawks will be having a new

offense so it will come down likely

to who can block the best for the

running game.

Next up we will look at the Seahawks

running back group. If any other news 

comes up on them we will let you

know.  Go Hawks!

Mariners Beat Angels Again

The Mariners beat the Angels

9-3 to have a minisweep and

win the seventh series in a roe.

The Mariners offense is still

doing the job getting runs early

and having a big inning even

late in the game.

The Angels scored a run in the

first inning than the Mariners 

scored two in the second. The

game was tied at 3-3 until the

seventh when the Mariners

scored six. Arozarena  had a

solo home run in the second.

The Mariners played small

ball in the seventh. Leo Rivas

had a big game and getting

two hits in the seventh. He led

off with a single then Samad

Taylor in his first start after

being called up put down a

bunt single. JP had a single to

drive in them both. Julio had

a double to drive in JP. Cal

had a single to drive in Julio.

Arozarena had another hit.

After a couple outs Rivas

had his second hit of the

inning hitting hard off the

first baseman scoring scoring

Cal and Arozarena.

Though Williamson didn't

get a hit the bottom of the

order has done done a fine

job in recent games. 

Emerson Hancock started 

and went six innings though

not as good as his previous

start he kept the team in

the game giving up the

three runs on nine hits. The

three relievers who went

shut the door only allowing

one hit and a walk in the

three innings of pitching.

This game allowed Andre 

Munoz not having to pitch.

The Mariners have Thursday

off so if the Mariners have 

to use Munoz on Friday in

Texas he has the two days 

off.

The Mariners brought up

outfielder Rhylan Thomas

from Tacoma. Luke Raley

is expected to miss six

weeks. Thomas is a left

handed bat so we will

see him and Taylor a 

righty we should see these

two to platoon at least until

Dylan Moore comes off the

injured list next week. 

Bryan Woo is scheduled to

start on Friday against the

Rangers. Luis Castillo most

likely on Saturday and Logan

Evans on Sunday. Woo's last

start was last Thursday so

a lot of rest. Castillo and 

Evans will be a week apart.

The day off Monday and

this Thursday giving the

starters good rest. Help 

them all. Go M's.

Another Win For Mariners

The last six series the Mariners

lost the first game than won

the two remaining games in 

each.

Tuesday night the Mariners beat

the LA Angels 5-3.

Bryce Miller pitched five innings.

He gave up only two hits and walked

five. He didn't give up a run.

Collin Snider came in the sixth

and gave up a hit. Carlos Vargas 

gave up a run in the seventh.

Gabe Speier gave up two runs

in the eighth. Second outing 

giving up runs after none before

then. I hope he doesn't have an

injury however it wouldn't surprise

me. Again Andre Munoz took care

of the ninth.

Jorge Polanco who was player of

the week keeps his hot hitting.

He had two home runs and drove

in all five runs. We hope when he 

cools down he still continues

hitting.

The Mariners and Angels play

Wednesday afternoon in second

of a two game series. Emerson

Hancock will start. Go M's.

Luke Raley hurt himself  in

batting cage so he missed

the game. We will have to

see whether he will have to

go on the injured list or be

day to day. So Wednesday

a day game won't be surprised

if he is out for that game as a

caution..

Huskies Men's Basketball Transfer Portal News and More

Tge Washington Huskies men's basketball team took a hit on this

coming season recruiting class.

Incoming freshman and McDonald

All-American power forward Niko

Bundalo has decided to enter the 

transfer portal after committing

to the Huskies back last November.

Probably the main reason is the

Huskies signed two power forward a

since his commitment. He may feel

that he won't get the playing time

he anticated when signing with the

Huskies. This could be true and his

agent or coaches may have spoken

those words to him.

The NCAA needs to make some

rules in regarding to the transfer

portal and incoming freshmen

recruits.  I have mentioned before

that when a player leaves a team

they shouldn't be allowed to play

for a team in the same conference.

Schools should not go after players

as well. If the player seeks out a

school that makes sense. I believe

a player can only accept from one

school during the year. Other words

he can't change his mind. The only

exception is that the coach gets 

fired or leaves for another job. If 

the coach gets fired and is hired

elsewhere the player can follow to

that school. If the coach leaves

the player can to but not to the

school the coach goes to for a

year anyway. Those are not the

rules now but my opinion.

Tuesday Dylan Moore went on

the injured list for ten days for

a hip injury. The Mariners have 

brought up Samal Taylor from

triple A Tacoma. He most likely

play against lefties in right field

though he has played some 

infield as well. Miles Mastrobuioni

is the top utility player now though

he hits from the left side. He and

Leo Rivas will likely share second

base and he may play third base

against some righties. It looks

like Dylan won't be gone long

since retroactive to March 26.

The Mariners have a short series

having two games at home Tuesday

and Wednesday. The Mariners go

for three games beginning Friday 

At Texas Rangers then the A's at

Sacramento before coming back

home for two series against

Toronto and the New York Yankees.

Bryce Miller will start Tuesday nights

game against the Angel. Emerson

Hancock will start the second game

on Wednesday afternoon. 

Jorge Polanco was named player

of the week in the American League.

The Mariners are now in first place. 

Go M's. 

Mariners Minor Leaguers

We have already seen a few of

the fruits of the fruits of the

minor leaguers because of

injuries to there major league 

players.

The Tacoma Rainiers are now

11-16 and 3-7 in their last ten

games. Logan Evans the top

pitcher for them made his

major league debut on Sunday

and recorded a victory.

Tyler Locklear has been hot

lately now hitting .333. The

first baseman could be called

up anytime if the position 

continues to be an issue.

Harry Ford is hitting .220.

It would be nice if his average

was higher which it could be

if he were playing more often.

Samad Taylor continues to hit

well at .321 and leads the Rainers

with five home runs. He mainly

is playing the outfield though

he can play the infield too.

Matt Brash continues his rehab

assignment at Tacoma. He has

pitched  in five games so far. The

Rainiers will be going on the

road this week after being at home

this last week. They will be playing

at Las Vegas. We see whether Brash

will go with the Rainers or be called

up to the Mariners. 

The Arkansas Travelers are at top

of their league with a record of

14-7.  Outfielder Jared Sundstrom

leads them with an average of

.294. They are not a home run 

hitting team as he leads with two.

Center fielder Billy Knight has

a .286 batting average and leads

with ten stolen bases.

In the pitching department Garrett

Hill has an era of 1.09 in four starts

and Adam Seminaries has 1.47

in same amount of starts. Neither

has pitched a lot of innings. The

strength is in the bullpen where

five have had outstanding seasons

so far with three not given up an

earned run yet.

The Everett Aqua Sox are still

at slow start with 8-13 record.

Top prospect Colt Emerson

is hitting .273. Still looking for

his first home run of the season.

Lazaro Montes is hitting .250

with five home runs and 14 RBIs.

He has 18 walks.

Last year's number one pick

Jurrangelo Cijntje has pitched

in six games with four starts.

Throwing both ways he has

pitched right handed primarily

in his four starts while throwing

left handed in his two relief

appearances. He has gone 17

innings total giving up ten hits 

with three being home runs.

He has walked 13 while striking

out 22. The opposing team

batting average is .167. He throws

around 96 miles an hour on average

from both sides.

Reliever Tyler Cleveland in seven

relief appearances hasn't given 

up a single earned run yet. He has

walked four while striking out

ten in 11.1 innings. The Mariners

are showing they have some good

relievers in the minor leagues.

The Modesto Nuts continue to

do well at low A class having a

15-6 record.

Second round pick from 2024

Ryan Sloan coming  out of high 

school has started three games.

He is being pitched carefully

going only 8.1 innings so far. 

He has four walks and 12 strike 

outs.

The Mariners number two 

shortstop prospect Felnin 

Celesten continues to do

well hitting .343. When 

Emerson moves up to

double A then Celesten will

move up to Everett. 

The Mariners have Monday

and Thursday off this week.

We will update this again 

next week.

Mariner Win Another Series

Tge Seattle Mariners win their sixth

series in a row. It hss been interesting since they lost the first game in a

series.

Final Mariners 7 Marlins 6

The Mariners got a big lead then

Trent Thornton gave up a three-run 

homer in the eight inning.  Not

sure why he has been pitching

that inning since has had trouble

giving up homers. He has an era

of 7.71 on the season. He did

the same in Boston.

Logan Evans went five  innings

in his major league debut giving

up two runs. Able to get the win.

Jorge Polanco continues to hit

having three hits. Cal hit another

homer run and JP Crawford hit

another key homer. 

The Mariners have Monday off

before facing the Angels on

Tuesday at home. Go M's

Seattle Seahawks Undrafted Free Agents

The Seattle Seahawks signed

eleven players after the draft 

was over as free agents. Five

on offense and six on defense.

None of the names are familiar

though a few from the Big Ten.

On offense they signed a running

back, wide receiver, tight end, center

and tackle. All positions they

drafted  except center. See how

much of a chance to make it.

On defense they signed three

edge rushers, a linebacker and

two cornerbacks. The best chance

is being on the practice squad

however one or two could make

the team though a long shot.

Unlike last season Carson Bruener

was the only  draft from the

 Huskies by the Pittsburgh Steelers

at linebacker. His best chance for

Bruener is on special teams. Kyle

Williams was the only Washington

State Cougar by the New England

Patriots at wide receiver in third

round.

A few Washington players who playedi

were drafted. Wide receiver Emeka

Egbuka from Ohio State and Steilacoom high school in the first

round by Tampa Bay. Josh Conerly Jr.

offensive lineman from Oregon was

drafted by Washington Commanders

in the first round.

JT Tuimoloau edge rusher from Ohio 

State and Eastside Catholic was🤗😉00 drafted by Indianapolis Colts  in the 

third round. 

That is it for lp

Mariners Shutout Marlins Easily

The Seattle Mariners took care of

the Marlins easily Saturday night.

Final Mariners 14  Msrlins 0

Thr game started out with Julio

and Polanco hitting back to back

home runs. By the time the first

Winning was over the Mariners had scored six runs. In the fourth 

inning Polanco hit his second

home run of the game. Later

on Mitch Garver pinch hit for

Cal And hit his first home run

with one run on base.

Rookie Ben Williamson and

Miles Mastrobuoni each had

two hits. Williamson drove in

four runs while Mastrobuoni

had three. I all the recent 

series where the Mariners 

came back after losing the 

first game we will see if

the Mariners can do it again.

Luis Castillo went six innings

giving up only one hit. He 

walked two and struck out

five batters. He looked much

better in this outing.Troy 

Taylor who was called up

pitched the seventh inning.

He gave up a hit and that

was it.He was followed by

Casey Legumina who gave 

up one hit. Much better than

his last. Tayler Saucedo who

came in the ninth to finish.

The Mariners have called up

Logan Evans to start on Sunday.

This will give the starters an 

addition days off. The Mariners

will have another day off on

.Monday. This will give the 😁

Mariners additional  time off.

Go M's.  

Day Three NFL Draft Seahawks

The Seahawks were busy along 

with success in this years draft.

The Seahawks moved around with

draft picks as well as a trade.

On Friday drafting Jalen Milroe

in the third round they traded

backup quarterback Sam Howell

to the Minnesota Viking for a fifth

round. It allowed them to pick

142 overall.The Vikings got the

Seahawks 172 overall in the fifth

round. It means Seahawks moved

up 30 spots. They picked Rylie Mills

defensive lineman from Notre Dame.

The Seahawks had a fourth round

pick that they traded to New England

for a fifth and seventh round pick.

End up trading the fifth round pick

to Cleveland for a fifth and six 

round pick. That fifth round pick

they got wide receiver Tory Horton

from  Colorado State. The Seahawks

could use him on kick and punt

returns. Another fifth round pick they

drafted from Alabama again tight

end Robbie Ouzts who might be

used at fullback.

The sixth round pick they used it

on guard Bryce Cabeldue out of

Kansas. The Seahawks had three

picks in the seventh round. First

was Damien Martinez running 

back from Miami. He played two 

years at Oregon State. The last two

were Mason Richman offensive 

tackle from Iowa  and Ricky White III

wide receiver from UNLV. We wish

all the guys the best. Go Hawks.

In baseball the Mariners put Logan

Gilbert on the 15 day injured list.

He won't throw a baseball for

two weeks. We will see who takes

his spot in the rotation. Possibly

George Kirby be back soon. This

makes the value of Emerson Hancock

even more valuable. They brought

up Troy Taylor and Tayler Saucedo

from triple A Tacoma. Go M's.

Mariners Lose Starter Gilbert and Seahawks Picks

The Seattle Mariners started a

three game series against the

Miami Marlins Friday Night.

Like the recent road trip they

lost the first game of the series

8-4.

Dylan Moore hit a home run  in 

the second for a 1-0 lead. Logan

Gilbert was looking good not

giving up a hit or a walk while 

striking out three in three innings.

He had to leave with injury to

his forearm. Not sure how long

he will be out. We hope George 

Kirby returns soon.

In the fifth inning Dylan Moore

had an error and the Marlins

scored six unearned runs. This

cost the Mariners the game.

Casey Lawrence who was 

brought up from Tacoma

came in for Gilbert. Been

a starter most of his career

went five innings. This saved

the Mariners bullpen despite

the loss. 

The Seahawks second pick 

in the second round was tight

end Elijah Arroyo from Miami.

He is considered a highbred

so we could see him play

fullback as well. In the 3rd

round they drafted quarterback

Jalen Milroe out of Alabama.

The first quarterback the

Seahawks have drafted since

they drafted Russell Wilson

in the third round too. The

Seahawks will look to develop

Milroe. This means the Seahawks

will carry three on the roster.

Saturday will be rounds four

through seven. They have 

on in the fouth, two in the

fifth and two in the seventh.

Wouldn't surprise me if

the Seahawks acquire  a

sixth round pick. Go Hawks!

Seahawks Make A Trade

The Seattle Seahawks moved up

in the draft trading a second and

a third round pick to Tennesse

Titans for their second round

pick which was the third in the

second round. The Seahawks

still have another second round

pick well as a third round. This

gives the Titans additional pick.

The Seahawks picked safety

 Nick Emmanwori out of South

Carolina. There was a thought 

the Mariners may draft him

in the first round. We could

look as though tge Seahawks

picked two first rounders.

Let you know who they pick 

later in the second and remain

third rounder. Go Hawks!

The Seahawks Make First Round Pick

The Seahawks made their pick

at number 18. They selected

guard Grey Zabel out of North

Dakota State.

The Seahawks were looking

to draft the best player available

and the offensive line needs an

upgrade.

At North Dakota State Zabel

played some left tackle as well

as guard. On ESPN Nick Saban

said he could be an outstanding

center. We will see who else the

Seahawks will draft. On Friday 

they have two picks in round

two and three. We could see 

Zabel at center if they pick 

a guard who fits in..Go Hawks!

Mariners Win Series In Boston

The Mariners had a successful

road trip going 6-3 by beating

the Red Sox 4-3.

The Mariners scored two runs

in the first and second innings

and able to hold on. They continue

winning close games.

Mitch Garver who caught the

game hit a double in the first

inning scoring Dylan Moore

and Randy Arozarena who

walked three times in the game.

Garver's now hitting .214.

Though he has no home runs

and four RBIs is hitting .250

in the last seven games. Maybe

it is a good sign.

Alex Bergman who had a good

series against the Mariners hit

a home run off of Bryan Woo.

In the top of the second Dylan

Moore had a sacrifice fly to

score Ben Williamson and Julio

followed with a ground out

allowing Leo Rivas to score.

Bottom of the third Bergman

hit a single to drive in the 

Red Sox second. The score

stayed that way until the

eighth when Carlos Narvaez

hit a homer off of Gabe Speier

his first mistake on the season.

One mistake a month wouldn't

be bad for sure.

Bryan Woo had the second

quality start in a row for the

Mariners going six innings

giving up three hits and the

two runs. He only walked

one and struck out eight

on the day.

A surprise is the Mariners

hadn't had two quality starts

in a row since 2001 when

Jamie Moyer and Freddie

Garcia did it. With maybe

the best starting rotation

last year I would have thought

the Mariners may have done

it a few times. Surprise.

The Mariners are now 14-11.

They are a half game behind

the Rangers. The Rangers play

the A's tonight on the road. If

they lose the two teams will

be tied for first in the division.

The Astros don't play do they

will be a half game behind the

Mariners and maybe Rangers.

The Mariners will play a series

beginning on Friday at home

against the Miami Marlins.

Going into the game they

are 11-13. See if the Mariners 

can win another series. Go M's.

The first round of the NFL draft

begins Thursday evening. The 

second and third will be Friday.

Let you know it goes. Go Hawks!

eve

Mariners Take Game Two In Boston

The Seattle Mariners beat

the Red Sox 8-5. The game

wasn't as close as the score

shows. Playing in Fenway Park

anything can happen. 

Emerson Hancock had his first

quality start of the season

and maybe his best in the majors.

Emerson gave up five hits, two

walks, seven strikeouts and

giving up two runs in six innings.

It was the bottom of the Mariners

batting order that got most of

the production. JP Crawford hit

a three-run homer in the fourth 

inning to put the Mariners up

4-0. Emerson gave up a run

in the bottom of the fourth and

fifth inning. It was nice he got

through the sixth easily.

Gabe Speier who has done well

all season pitched well in the

seventh inning. The Red Sox

got a three-run homer in the

8th by first baseman Triston

Casas who hit one as well on

Tuesday night.  Casey Legumina

was the Mariners pitcher who

gave up the home run. Fortunately

he survived after that. I know

decisions are not easily made

however in Fenway Park it might

be good to warm up someone.

It would hard one to stomach if 

the Red Sox had won.  Andre

Munoz pitched the ninth to get

another save.

Bryan Woo will start the final

game of the series. Regardless 

what happens the Mariners have

at least five wins on this road 

trip which is good. The game

will start in the morning in

Seattle.

Tomorrow night will be the

first round of the NFL draft.

The Seahawks have the 18th

pick so should have the pick

come in around 6:30 or so

Seattle time. A lot depends

whether they pick at 18 or

move up or down. 

Check you on Thursday.

Looking at Dylan Moore of Mariners

Dylan Moore has gotten off to a

good start hitting .300 on the season

as they are finishing up their 4th

week of the season. Only Jorge 

Polanco has done a better job. 

Dylan hasn't shown he can't hit

well over the full season either

as a utility or a starter. The M's

lost Ryan Bliss for most of the

rest of the season.

Now Dylan and Leo Rivas will

get most of the time at second

base. Luke Raley with the injury

keeping Victor Robles out for

some time as well. We shouldn't

expect back until after the all-star

break most likely. Raley will start

in right field against righties 

and some lefties. Dylan Moore 

will start against lefties that

Raley doesn't start. Moore is the

fourth outfielder and Miles

Mastrobuioni may play outfield

in occasion however he is a

left handed bat. He play more

at third base and second. 

The Mariners playing well right

now things won't change 

however in May things could 

change. It will come down

to how well second and first

base go. Ben Williamson 

should play a lot at third with

Mastrobuioni playing once

or twice a week. It comes 

down how well he hits.  I

could see him more at second.

First base has been troublesome

as far as hitting goes. Neither

Tellez or Solano have hit well.

Tellez had three home runs

in Toronto however that has

to continue as his batting average

is below .100. Solano has been

the same but has no power.

Both of them have contracts 

where they could be released

at anytime. Tyler Locklear

who is hitting well in Tacoma

so the Mariners could bring

him up in place of Solano since

both are right handed bats. 

Locklear has more power too.

He could hit a lot of doubles

besides home runs.

Second base continues we

could see Cole Young come

up in May sometime. A lot

will depend how much the

Mariners win or not. The

Mariners have taken care

of third base with Williamson

promotion but second and

third may have to be the same.

Go M's.

Washington Huskies Transfer Portal

The Washington Huskies Football team

have lost a couple players in the last

week.

Caleb Presley cornerback and top

recruit in Washington in 2023 

decided to enter the transfer portal.

He hasn't been able to crack the

Huskies lineup and unable to get

playing time. Injuries happened

as well. He came out of Rainier

Beach High School in Seattle.

We wish him the best.

Offensive lineman Michael Levelled

Watkins who came to Washington

last year haß decided to enter the

portal as well. Often spring practice

players see whether they will get

in any playing time in the coming

season. It is difficult for the team

for depth. 

The Washington State Cougars

have lost 13 player on the football

team since the portal opened on

April 16. The portal closes this

Friday. See who the Cougars will

pick up to replace the plsyers.

Go Cougs!

The Washinton men's basketball received another player in the 

transfer portal in Bryson Tucker coming from Indiana. He didn't 

have a good season at Indiana 

last year. He will have to play 

better for the Huskies to get 

playing time. The Huskies do 

need players coming off the 

bench so they hope he will 

respond.  Go Dawgs!

mariners lose Tuesday in Boston

Jorge Polanco hit a home run 

in the first inning. The Red Sox

scored in the first with a sacrifice

fly. In the third they scored another

run. In the fifth they scored

two more with doubles.

Bryce Miller struggled some and

didn't make it through the fifth.

JP Crawford hit one between left

and center scoring two runs

to put the Mariners down by one.

Trent Thornton came in the seventh

and surrendered a three-run homer.

Newly call up Sauryn Lao came

in  and went one and two-thirds.

He gave up a run on an error.

Final Boston 8 Seattle 3.

Emerson Hancock starts on Wednesday. Be nice to see a

start like in his last outing.

Go.M's.

NFL Draft Coming Up on Thursday

The NFL draft begins Thursday

evening with the first round

going.

Right now the Seahawks have

the 18th overall pick. The

likelihood they will take the

best player available on their

chart.  Depending on how

the draft is going they could

move or down in the first

round.

On Friday they have four  picks

with two picks in the second

and two in the third. The two in

the second round are 18 and 20

so moving up could be easy by

trading one of them along with

their first pick.

On Saturday they have five picks 

as well. They have one pick in

the 4th round and two in the

5th. Those three are compensatory.

They have two in the 7th round.

I don't think the Seahawks actually

pick ten times so even if they don't

trade up in the first round they could

in one of the other rounds. With

no sixth round pick they could add

there. Go Hawks!

Mariners Win Another Series

The Mariners are now red hot 

winning the fourth series in

a row. On Sunday afternoon

the Mariners beat the Blue

Jays 8-3. On current road 

trip 4-2. 

The Mariners got off to a good

start scoring three runs in the

first and second inning. Dylan

Moore led off the game with

a home run and Cal Raleigh

hit one with Julio on base. 

In the second Randy Arozarena

hit a single with the bases 

loadednscoring Ben Williamson 

and Leo Rivas. Mitch Garver 

singles  as well scoring Julio. Arozarena seems to come up 

to bat a lot with the bases 

loaded and delivers too. The  

Blue Jays starter didn't make 

it out of the second. 

The  Blue Jays scored two in

the second and another in

the third. The Mariners were

silent until the seventh when

Rowdy Tellez hit a two-run 

homer. He and Cal hit a home

run in all three games in 

Toronto.

The Mariners have Monday 

off then play the Red Sox in  

Boston Tuesday thru Thursday 

before coming home. The 

Mariners power could continue at Fenway Park.

The Mariners are now 12-10.

The Mariners in second place

behind the Rangers by one 

game. The Angels are losing 

to the Giants while Astros 

play soon against the Padres. 

They are both a game behind 

the M's at this moment. The 

A's are a game behind them.

Update The Giants blew it 

giving up four runs in the

ninth including a double

with the bases loaded to

the Angels. 

Mariners Even Series in Toronto

The Seattle Mariners offense 

is starting to build character

especially on this road trip.

Though they made running

mistakes on Friday tge came

back to make contributions.

It took the offense a while at

the same time Logan Gilbert

struggled on the mound. The 

good thing he got out of trouble

when the Blue Jays had runners

on. For example Logan only gave 

up one run in the first inning

when it could have been a lot 

worse.

The Mariners didn't score until

the fifth inning where Cal hit

a ball to the right field corner 

scoring two runs with Ben

Williamson and JP Crawford 

 came home. This was after 

Cal had a confrontation with

the Blue Jays starter and 

all the Mariners players

came out.

The Blue Jays ended up scoring

a run in the bottom of the fifth

to tie the game. Logan Gilbert

was taken out at that point. He

was able to finish the fifth and

possibly get the win.

In the sixth inning the Blue Jays

scored another run however

the top of the seventh new

comer and third baseman Ben

Williamson hit his first major

league home run to tie the

game again. He isn't known

for his bat or power since

he had only four home runs in 

the minors. We won't know

some time but he could 

become a hitter as well as

a defender. There was thought

that top prospect Colt Emerson

may move from shortstop to

third base. The thing is that

could be in a couple years 

and Williamson could cement

himself as the third baseman

by then. I am sure we won't

have a problem with that.

The Mariners do have three

guys to play second and third.

No more scoring happened

until the 12th inning. Randy

Arozarena hit a ball scoring

JP Crawford from third. The

feeling was that Andre Munoz

may have to pitch a second inning.

It turned out it was not necessarily

where Rowdy Tellez hit a grand slam

to make it a five run lead. Casey Lawrence who pitched an inning

on Friday night came in and 

pitched the 12th. The Blue Jays

scored a run however they gave

up outs at the same time. Casey

didn't give up a single hit. Munoz

recorded his first win of the season.

So far he hasn't given up a run

on the season.

Luis Castillo starts on Easter Sunday

in another day game. We hope he

can rebound from his last start. It

would be nice if the Mariners can

win another series.

The Mariners and Angels are now

both two games behind the Rangers 

The Mariners though have played

two more games than the Angels.

Matt Brash is doing rehab assignment

with the Rainiers. He is doing well

so far. He could be activated when

the Mariners return home unless

they want him in the Boston series

that begins on Tuesday. He will be

added good to the bullpen who

have had some struggles outside

of Munoz. Go M's. 

Mariners Run Themselves Out Friday Evening

Bryan Woo pitched seven innings

for the M's as they needed to

give tge bullpen some rest.

Bryan went seven innings giving up 

seven hits, two walks and gave 

up three runs.

The Blue Jays got two of their runs

on sacrifice flies. The Mariners had 

four runners thrown out on the

base paths. All of them were questionable.  

The Mariners one run was a homer

by Rowdy Tellez. He was one of

tge guys getting thrown out by

trying to go from second to

third on a fly out. Mariners have

the green light for their runners

to go. It was Tellez second time

in recent games so maybe he 

needs a red light.

Saturday the game between M's

and Blue Jays play in the afternoon.

Logan Gilbert will start so we hope

the Mariners can produce some

runs which they have done in

recent games. We hope he can

go seven in ings as well. Go M's. 

This Week Look at M's Minors

Tacoma Rainiers continue to

struggle after getting off to a

a good start. They are 8-9

right now. The Rainers this 

week are playing Oklahoma

City who have cotton off to

a very good start.

Samad Taylor who has been

playing a lot of outfield is

having a good season. He is

batting .292 and leads the 

Rainiers with four home runs

he RBIs. Harry Ford is still

catching every other game

which I don't understand.

He doesn't have a home run

yet and with ten RBIs. Cole

Young has raised his average

to .206. 

Heading into Thursday the

Arkansas Travelers are second 

place with a 7-4 record.

The Travelers two catchers who

primarily sharing the position

are still hitting very well. Connor Charping is hitting .444 and Nick

Raposo is at .318.The team isn't

hitting many home runs with

total of two.

Shortstop Josh Hood is high

hitting as of position players 

with an average of .281. As

far as their starting pitching

goes Adam.Seminaris in two

starts has an era of 1.13.

Their bullpen is doing quite well.

They have three who haven't 

given up a run yet and two in

four outings have given up one

run each.

The Everett Acqua Sox are at

the bottom of the Northwest 

League at 4-7. The guys were

struggling are starting to hit

now. We see where they are 

at in a few weeks.

Top prospect Colt Emerson

is hitting .282 though no

home runs yet. Lazaro Montes

is hitting .282. He leads with

three home runs and nine RBIs.

Modesto Nuts are 8-3 and at

top of the California League.

The team is limiting the innings

of their starters at this point.

Most are pitching four innings

a game. 

Next week we see how they 

continue to do. 

Mariners Take Series

Thursday afternoon the Mariners

beat the Reds 11+7. They took

took two of three. 

It is interesting because they could 

have swept the series as well being

swept. That  is how close it was.

Emerson Hancock who started

the game got off to a hard start

giving up a two-run homer in the

first inning however bounced back

going five innings without giving

anything else up.

The bullpen had some trouble

including giving up a grand slam

homer off of Jake Fraley former

Mariner in the 8th inning. This 

was after the Mariners had taken

the lead before that. 

The Mariners were down by

two into the ninth. Cal Raleigh

and Randy Arozarena hit

back to back homers  to tie.

In the tenth JP Crawford singled

to bring in Dylan Moore. With

the bases loaded Randy Arozarena

was up to the ate which he has done

a lot lately. He looked like again

he would take a walk however 

he hit a double to score two more.

That gave the edge the Mariners

needed to win.

In this game like the whole series

Polanco had a double. He along

with Arozarena and Cal we the big 

guys in this series.

The Mariners now head to Toronto

to take on the Blue Jays. They are

a team that Cal seems to own.

Stay tuned. Go M's.

Mariners Even Series

The Seattle Mariners beat

the Reds to even the series

on Wednesday night 5-3.

The two teams will play

a day game Thursday  before

the Mariners go to Toronto

to take on the Blur Jays on

Friday. 

Cal Raleigh was the hero 

where he hit a home run

from left then the right side.

Cal now has one hundred

career home runs.

Bryce Miller went five innings

giving up no runs on three hits

along with eight strike outs.

He threw a lot of fast balls

in the game.  Troy Taylor 

made his return to the  M's

however gave up the three

runs before he went out.

The Mariners optioned Gregory

Santos to Tacoma after being

wild in Tuesdays game. Will

Klein took his spot in the

bullpen.

Emerson Hancock is expected

to return to make the  start

on Thursday. Whose spot he takes

we will find out. 

The Mariners are now 9-9

in third place a half game 

behind the Angels and two

behind the Rangers. 

Go M's.

Mariners Couldn't Do Moore

Dylan Moore was the Mariners

player of the game for them.

He lead off the game with a

home run and another one

as well to put them ahead twice.

The trouble was starting pitcher

pitcher Luis Castillo who return

to  Cincinnati for the first time

couldn't keep the leads.

The Reds were able to tie

the Mariners after Moore's

first home run and take the

lead after the second one.

So the Reds were able score

five  runs when Castillo left

the game in the fifth inning

with two outs. The Reds were

able to add on three more

while the Mariners couldn't

add anymore. Final Red 8 M's 4.

It did look with Dylan's job

early the Mariners had a 

great chance to win however

it wasn't meant to be.

Not only is it important to

win the first game of a series

it is even more important to

win the first game of a road

trip. We just hope that the

Mariners do much better and

at the end of the road trip it 

was just a hick up.

Third baseman Ben Williamson

who made his first major league

game start got a hit and scored

a run. During that time his family

made their way to Cincinnati.

Though the Mariners lost Ben's

family were still excited. Some

close friends were there as well.

Ben actually was able to get

contact on 19 pitches in all.

If he can continue to show it

he will have a good major league

career. 

Bryce Miller starts on Wednesday.

We hope he can do a better job

so a victory will happen. Go M's. 

Washington State Cougars Spring Football

The Washington State Cougars had

their spring football game so camp

is done.

According to new head coach

Jimmy Rogers everyone is

healthy.

The two top quarterbacks Zevi 

Eckhaus and Jaxon Potter each

had touchdown passes thrown.

According to coach Rogers there

is still competition for the starting

job. With a new coach there is 

always a clean slate as well

The outstanding player in the

camp was Leon Neal Jr. wide

receiver. He is not slated on any

depth charts at this time. I am

sure we will see him before

the season starts. He caught

one pass last season for the

Cougars.

The Cougars have experience

team coming into the season.

Last year the Cougars started

off well however last three

games they lost. Before the

bowl game they lost a lot

of players.

In my opinion the transfer 

portal and the moving of 

coaches  should happen 

after the bowl season is 

over. For one thing it isn't 

fair to the alumni and fans 

to lose players and not see 

the same team. If they want 

the bowl games could be 

moved up. 

Speaking of the transfer portal

it opens up again beginning

on Wednesday. It runs for

nine days to enter. This allows

players who were dissatisfied

with spring football camp to

enter. It allows the teams to

find players for positions they

need to add depth at.

The Cougars do have experience

on their side so might not have

a lot of movement. Thr players

commented how much they

liked the new coaching staff. 

Go Cougs!

Mariners Sweep Rangers

The Seattle Mariners swept the

Rangers by beating them

3-1 on Sunday. 

Logan Gilbert struggled in

the first inning just like 

Bryce Miller and Bryan

Woo did in the previous

two games. He didn't give

a run either in the first.

Logan only went five innings

giving up a home run in the

second inning. He walked 

one and struck out seven.

Cal Raleigh hit a two-run

homer in the first inning.

Julio scored the final run

in the sixth inning when

Randy Arozarena was hit

by a pitch with the bases

loaded. He has been up

a lot with bases loaded

recently.

The Mariners used four

relievers and gave up

only one hit on the day.

Munoz had his six save.

The Mariners are now 

8-8. Now they go on a

nine game road trip. We

will see what kind of

team they are.

Before the game the

Mariners brought up

one of their top prospects

in Ben Williamson from

triple-A Tacoma and 

sent down outfielder

Dominic Canzone.

This means that Dylan

Moore may play more

outfield against lefties.

We should expect Williamson

to play a lot at third base.

He was brought up mostly

for his defense than his

bat. Polanco will dh mostly

against right handed pitchers

until he gets healthy. Mitch

Garver against righties for

now. He is only batting .182.

This means to that Cal

will likely get a day off against

a lefty and dh instead.

Miles Mastrobuoni will likely

play some second as well

as some third. A left handed

bat probably face righties

while Leo Rivas will face

lefties.

Coming up Tuesday thru

Thursday the Mariners will

face a lefty in game one

and righties in game two

and three. Williamson will

start game one and see

after that. They will have

Mastrobuoni on the bench

in game one as well as 

Luke Raley. Though Raley

will start against righties

he will mostly stay in

against a lefty. Go M's.

Mariners Bats Come Alive

The Mariners bats came live 

Saturday  night getting 11 hits

and winning 9 to 2 over the 

Texas Rangers. The Mariners 

have won the series and now 

see if they can sweep the

Texas Rangers.

It happens at times where the

starting pitcher has struggles

to begin the game. This happened

to Bryan Woo where he had 

trouble locating his pitches. 

The Rangers only able to get

one run off Woo in the first.

Though it didn't look that way

in the first Woo was able to

cruis after that going seven

innings. 

At one point Woo got 12 batters

to make outs in a row. The third

and seventh the Mariners scored

four runs each time. The four

runs scored in the third was Julio

getting a triple. 

Polanco was able to drive Julio

on a sacrifice fly. The Mariners 

had one run in the fifth with Cal

hitting a home run.

The Mariners are  7-8 and in

third place. Sunday winning

the Mariners will be even on

the season. The Mariners

start a nine game road trip

on Sunday.

Logan Gilbert will start

Sunday's game. He hasn't 

been given any run support.

Hope it changes. Go M's. 

Mariners Win Series Opener

Friday night the Mariners beat

the Texas Rangers 5-3. This might

be the first win of the season

on the way the Mariners will win 

most of the time. We must face

that most wins will come this

way. We just hope they have several

more wins then losses.

Jorge Polanco the Mariners best

hitter so far on the season hit

a solo homer in the  first inning. 

It looks as though for the time

being he will be at dh. Rowdy

Tellez hit his first homer as a

Mariner. We hope this gets him

going.

The Rangers scored their first

run in the fourth inning on a 

pop fly to Luke Raley. The M's

responded in the bottom of the

4th when JP Crawford hit s

ball just over the Rangers

shortstop's glove. 

Bryce Miller went only five

innings despite giving up

the one run. He three 30

pitches in the first inning

without giving up a run.

He settled down after that.

He walked three while striking

out five batters. Only surrendered

two hits.

Trent Thornton struggled in his

one inning coming in for Miller.

It included giving up a two run

homer. He was followed by

an inning of Gabe Speier, Carlos

Vargas and Andre Munoz. Each

gave up a hit. It was Munoz fifth

ssvd on the season.

It is so important for the M's

to win the opening game.

Cal Raleigh hit a two-run

homer over right field for the

win in the 8th inning. It is

his 96th career break the

tie with Mike Zunino in most

home runs by a Mariners

catcher. I say it will be a

while before anyone breaks

his record.

Bryan Woo will start on Saturday

night followed by Logan Gilbert

on Sunday. The Mariners sent

Luis F. Castillo down to Tacoma

after his Wednesday's start.

The Rangers will start right

handers in all three games.

Dylan Moore didn't start Friday

night so we will see if he

starts any of these two

remaing games. Leo Rivas

who was recalled from

Tacoma when Ryan Bliss

went on th injured list

played second while Miles

Mastrobuioni played third.

Miles is a left handed bat

so may see Dylan against

lefties at third. For the

time being it will be Rivas, 

Mastrobuoni and Moore

going at second and third.

Donovan Solano who is

the right hitting first baseman

right now could play some

third base as well. All comes

down to.who is playing the

best ball. 

The Mariners are now 6-8

and in 4th place in the

American League west

standings. Go M's.
