Mariners Lose In Extra Innings

Both starters for the Mariners and Angels 
did a good job Friday night going six 
innings and giving up two runs.

Julio Rodriguez was the Mariners 
offense hitting two solo home runs.
The first one in the top of the first 
inning. Angels scored two runs in
the first inning to take the lead.
Julio's second was in the sixth
inning. Both teams relievers
were able not give up a run in
regulation.

Though they had the opportunity 
the Mariners couldn't score in the
top of the tenth and the Angels 
were able to get a walk off.

What was tough and terrible was
the home plate umpires strike zone
or lack of it. There were several 
pitches called balls when they were 
nearly down the middle of the
plate.  This could have made the
difference as well. Go M's.

Mariners Beat Angels and More

Thursday  night the Seattle Mariners beat
the Los Angeles Angels 4-2. As I have said 
winning the opening game of a series is
important. A four game series maybe more.

The Angels scored first in the first inning.
Mike Trout got his only hit in the first
inning a double then scored. The Mariners 
walked him three times which was a
good thing. 

Logan Evans starting went five innings 
giving up the one run. 

The Mariners scored three runs in the
fifth inning with Julio Rodriguez home
run to tie the game and then Randy
Arozarena hit a two-run homer. In the 8th
inning Jorge Polanco hit the third home
run.

Carlos Vargas who has struggled lately 
was the second reliever in the game. 
Gabe Speier came in for Vargas and 
got the third out. Brash and Munoz 
finished up.

News came out before the game 
that the Mariners got Josh Naylor
from the Arizona Diamondbacks 
to play first base and maybe some
dh. Now we see who no longer be 
on the roster. Luke Raley will likely 
be out in the outfield. He and Dominic
Canzone will be in right field. Of
course if they are not moved with 
Naylor acquisition. Naylor might
be in Anaheim Friday or Saturday.

The Diamondbacks received left 
hander pitcher Brandyn Garcia
who made two appearances 
recently for the Mariners. They
got right handed pitcher Ashton 
Izzi who was at Everett. He is the
Mariners #16 prospect. We wish
the two the best to their new future.

Will the Mariners pick up another 
bat before the trading deadline 
or pick up a reliever. A veteran 
reliever who could step in with
Matt Brash and Andre Munoz. 
Pitch seventh thru the ninth.
Vargas has been pitching a lot
this year so it would be nice if
he could pitch less often. Go M's.

Seahawks Running Game

The Seattle Seahawks trading camp
for the next season started on 
Wednesday.

Right tackle Abe Lucas said in media
interview that they knew since June
that the running game was going to
be the influence in the offense. He 
says it easier to block for running
when it is the priority over the passing 
game. 

The tackle spots are settled while center 
and right guard will have competition.
Left guard will be maned by first round
pick Grey Zabel. 

AJ Barner is now the starting tight end
with the release of Noah Fant. This year's 
second rounder Elijah Arroyo will be number
two. 

With the new running attack the competition 
could be between Ken Walker lll and Zach
Charbonnet at running back. They have added a fullback position to. 

We will let you know how camp goes.
The Seattle Mariners start a four game
series against the Angels in Anaheim 
California on Thursday. Go M's.

Brewers Take Series

Wednesday afternoon the Milwaukee 
Brewers beat the Mariners 10- 2.
They have won 22 out of their last
thirteen games. Tuesday's loss
ended a 11 game winning streak.

Both teams scored two runs in
the second inning. The Brewers 
scored three in the fourth followed 
by one in the 5th and sixth. The 7th
blew open with three more runs.

Luis Castillo went five innings giving
up six runs however three were 
unearned. JP Crawford haf. an error.
Trent Thornton pitched the sixth 
and 7th inning giving up four runs.
He isn't pitching as well as last year.

The Brewers played small ball having
a few doubles and a lot of singles.
The Mariners could learn from that.
Let's get a good bat. 
 


Rainiers Beat Round Rock

The Tacoma Rainiers beat Round Rock 
Tuesday night at home 12-7. The 
Rainiers the Mariners triple A team 
got off to a slow start on the season 
however now second place in the Pacific
Coast League West division.

With the trading deadline coming up
soon at the end of July the Rainiers 
could have a few players. Most notably 
catcher Harry Ford who is hitting .291
with nine home runs and 50 rbis.
With Cal Raleigh being the Mariners 
starter at catcher there is no room
to start for the Mariners anytime soon.

First baseman Locklear has two home
runs on Tuesday night giving him 16
homers along with 77 rbis. He has a 
.323 batting average as well. He bats
right handed so currently Donovan 
Solano is the guy ahead of him. The
Mariners could put him in trade package
as well.

The Rainiers have four other players
who had some playing time this season 
with the Mariners do they could be in
a trade package as well. 

Though these guys could be dealt
the other teams will look at those
in double A and the single A teams
first. If they want pitching  where
they could see someone on the 
big club next year likely double A 
would be it. 

The Mariners drafted 13 pitchers
in the MLB draft the Sunday and
Monday before the All-star game.
So a lot of talent there and other
teams know the Mariners develop
pitchers really well

The Mariners are expected to make 
at least one trade for a bat. They
might look for a veteran reliever
too. Stay tuned the next ten days
it so might be exciting. Go M's.

Mariners Shutout Brewers Tuesday Night

The Seattle Mariners beat the Milwaukee
Brewers Tuesday night 1-0.

This tied the series at 1 and 1
Tomorrow's game is in the afternoon. 

Logan Gilbert was able to go six and 
one-thirds innings. Since coming back
after going on injured list. Left with
a standing ovation Logan struck out
ten and had no walks. He gave up 
only two hits of the game.

The Mariners bullpen did the not allow
a run  in the game

Cal Raleigh hit his 39 home run of the but
Season.

This ended the 11 game winning for the 
Brewers. 

The  Houston Astros won to 3-1ll

.

Brewers Shut Out Mariners

Monday night was game one
against the Milwaukee  Brewers.
They are here for three games.

The Brewers won 6-0 on Monday
night. Right now they are tough
to face as this game was the
eleventh win a row for the Brewers.

George Kirby went six innings 
for the Mariners. He gave up four
runs all in the sixth inning.
The other two runs were in the 
eighth inning.

The Mariners had only five hits 
in the game. The Mariners need
to do much better to beat the
Brewers. 

The Mariners need to look to
pick up a player or two by the
trading deadline at the end of
July.  Go M's. 
.

Seahawks Cut Tight End

Just as training is about to start the Seahawks released starting tight
end Noah Fant on Monday.

They tried to trade him however it looks like
no takers.  Fant would have cost the
Seahawks $9 million against the cap
if he was on the team. We wish him
the best to hook up with another team.

The Seahawks offense is expected to
go to the running game. Besides his
salary I am sure they might be
concerned about his blocking.

The Seahawks could look to acquire
a veteran tight end. The Seahawks 
offense has added  fullback. Both 
fullbacks are former tight ends.
If the Seahawks go in formation 
with three tight ends one of the
full backs  could be one of them.
They could add another lineman
too.

The Seahawks could go with just
two tight ends and two full backs.
They could a third tight end too.

We could see how the offense will 
look in preason however often
the starters don't play in the first
two games. We could see more of
the offensive line though.
Go Hawks!

.Mariners Blown Out Sunday

Early on the Mariners looked like they 
would sweep the series. They were 
able to get the starter out early however 
it didn't work as being in their favor.

Bryan Woo was able to go six innings.
The Mariners scored three runs early 
but didn't score anymore runs. 

The bullpen wasn't effective on Sunday.
The final was Astros 11 Mariner 3.
The good news the Mariners took the
series. Now they take on the Milwaukee 
 Brewers for three at home. The Brewers
have been playing pretty good ball. The
Mariners will have to slow them down. 
Again the key is to win Monday then
go from there.

The Astros will play the Diamondbacks
who do you want to win that series?
The Diamondbacks win the series 
maybe they won't trade before the deadline.
Do you want the Astros to lose more
than the Diamondbacks right now?
We see what happens.

Mariners Win In Extra Innings

Coming out of all-star break it was
important to get off to good start.
Saturday was game two and the 
Mariners took the win in 11 innings.

With a large crowd it was playoffs 
atmosphere already. Both teams 
lost both of their starters so it
came down to the bullpen. 

This was interesting since neither
team hit a home run in this game.
The Mariners scored first in the
second then the Astros tied in
the top of the third. Mariners 
than scored in the bottom of 
the third. The Astros scored a
run in the fifth and three more 
in the sixth. 

Carlos Vargas came in the fifth
and went one and one-thirds 
innings. He struggled a bit
giving up the three innings.
Vargas has more appearances 
than an Mariners relievers.
He struggled in the fifth so I 
thought bringing him back
in the sixth wasn't wise. Gabe 
Speier pitched for the second
game in two days so he gave
up two outs. 

Matt Brash was the only  reliever 
for the Mariners struggling giving
up a hit and two walks in the 10th.
Cole Young had the hit that won
the game in the 11th going to
right field.

The Mariners will try to see about
trying to sweep the Astros and
lower down to two games back. 
Both teams will have their all-stard
going. Hunter Brown for the Astros 
Bryan Woo for the Mariners. Neither
pitcher were expected to pitch in
this series. When Astros announced 
that Brown would start Sunday the
Mariners countered with Woo. This 
is how important both teams think
the series is. Go M's.



Seahawks Sign All Rookies

This week the Seahawks final
two rookies signed their contracts
so they will be in camp.

Rookie safety Nick Emmanwori
his four year contract was fully 
guaranteed for $11million and
tight end Elijah Arroyo for $8
million with three years guaranteed.
Both players were second round 
picks. Emmanwori was early in the 
round so like a first rounder. In
fact there was a shot he would
be drafted in the first round.
Seahawks made a deal to make
sure to get him.

Neither player will be a starter
as rookies however they should
get in a lot of playing time. We
see how things for them both.

Arroyo right now is listed as the
third tight end however talk that
he could be traded before training
camp is over. Often this speculation 
by the media.

The Seahawks first preseason game
is on August 7 in Seattle against the
Raiders. They play the Kansas City
Chiefs in game two followed by
the Packers in Green Bay in the
final game of preseason. We likely 
won't see a lot of the starting unit
until game three. It will be good to
see who is vying to make the team.
Go Hawks!

Mariners Take Game One Friday Night

The Seattle Mariners Fridtay night 
took care of the Houston Astros 
6-1.

Both starting pitchers did a good.
Randy Arozarena hit a solo home run
in the 4th inning and it stayed that 
way until Mitch Garver hit a home
run in the 7th. Have the Mariners a
little more room however the Astros
scored a run in the top of the 8th
to make it interesting however 
Matt Brash shut the door.

The Mariners as they did just before 
the all-star game scored four more
runs in small ball way. A key was 
JP Crawford driving  in Cole Young. 
Julio walked and then Cal drove in
JP. 

It is nice the Mariners are doing
things late in the game however 
starting a bit earlier would be nice.

Luis Castillo did an awesome job 
going six and two-thirds innings
and Gabe Speier took care of the 
last out. After Brash in the 8th
Eduardo  Bazardo pitched the 9th.
Andre Munoz was warming up 
but didn't go into the game. Would
have before the last two runs scored.

Logan Evans will start Saturday.
It will be important in this one to 
score earlier. Go M's.


Look At The Washington Huskies Football Team.

We should see a better offense in 2025 under
head coach  Jedd Fisch and quarterback 
Desmond  Williams  Jr.  

Desmond  played well  in 2024 under partial
time as a freshman.  He began the season 
primarily  when the Huskies were in the 
red zone.  He ended the season  as the 
starter.

Desmond not only how well he can run
he has a good arm. This season  he is
the starter from day one.  The opposing 
team will have to watch when he throws 
and runs. Most likely  he will run on short
yardage most of the time  we could see
him run on first down.

Though the offense should be better
there are questions about  the defense.
We hope the pass defense is good like
the old days and the running defense 
will continue  to improve. 

We will continue  to  see how they do.
The first game  of the season  will be
Saturday night August 30.against 
Colorado State at Husky Stadium.  
The first Big Ten game will be September 27th  at Husky Stadium  a week after the 
Apple Cup in Pullman against Ohio  State. 
Go Dawgs!

Washington State Cougars Football

The Washington State Cougars will
be starting trading camp in about
two weeks though I don't have the 
exact date.

The  Cougars have new head coach
in Jimmy Rodgers who came over 
from South Dakota State. It will
be interesting to learn about him
and his coaching staff. 

It will be interesting to find out
the same or differences in how 
the Cougars offense runs. The
Cougars for several decades
have had a powerful offense.

Now not being in the old Pac-12
and with the transfer portal it
will be interesting. Rodgers did
bring coaches and players
from South Dakota State. How
they workout in the first year
be interesting. 

In the last month the new Pac-12
added Texas State who will start
next season. We can see that
there won't be 12 teams however 
as we call it is the brand. Adding
Texas State gives them eight 
teams for the conference which
is a requirement by the NCAA.
Gonzaga joins the conference 
however they don't have football.

The Pac-12 has new media contract
as well. CBS Sports is the big name
in games that will be played. I expect 
games be continued on CW. Let you 
know where Cougars will be able to
be watched.

The Pac-12 still try dealing with
the Mountain West Conference.
Outside of the Cougars, Oregon 
State Beavers, and  Texas State 
most of the teams are coming
over from the Mountain West.

Stay tuned since things will change.
The Cougars should have a good 
offense though a new quarterback 
starting in Zevi Celsius.

The Cougars first game will be on
August 30 against Idaho in Pullman.
The Apple Cup against the Washington 
Huskies will be in Pullman on September 
20. We should before then what both
teams are doing.

Welcome to college football and 
be checking in on the Huskies soon
too.

NL Wins All-star game

The NL and American League game
ended up tied at six all. The American 
league tied it in the top of the 9th
inning.

This game looked like some of the games
the Mariners play. The National League 
scored all six runs early then the AL
came back late in the game to tie.

Instead of extra innings they had a 
home run swing off to decide the
sinner. Personally I would have
left the tie however the fans enjoyed 
it. The National League came from
behind to win. Each hitter had three
swings each. I am not sure why Cal
wasn't in it however Randy Arozarena 
was. 

The Mariners four did a fine job to
represent Seattle. Cal did have a
hit in the game. He might have had
two. His first at bat a good catch 
by the left fielder kept him from 
having a hit. Arozarena came in
for Aaron Judge in right field.
He did a fine job in the field. Made
me wonder whether the Mariners 
should play him some there.

Bryan Woo pitched the third inning
and got all three outs without a bit.
Did a great job. Andre Munoz pitched 
the eighth. He gave up a walk and
struck out one.

Now we see who the Mariners get
before the deadline. An all-star 
would be nice. Go M's!

Seahawks Rookies Report Tuesday

The Seattle Seahawks begin training 
camp on July 15 for the rookies
only. Nine of the Seahawks eleven
rookies have signed contracts.

Safety Nick Emmanwori and tight
end Elijah Arroyo have not. Both
were second round  picks. The
salaries are grafted in for rookies 
depending where they were drafted.
They sign four year contracts as
well. They can differ depending 
on the signing bonus too.

The reason these two haven't signed
yet is that back in May the Houston
Texans first guaranteed all four years
to their second round pick and the
Cleveland Browns followed shortly 
there after. I didn't realize this hadn't 
happen before. So many of the NFL 
teams second rounders haven't 
signed

Both have been in the camps during
the off-season the question will they
both come in now. The Seahawks 
will they sign them to four guarantee 
years or not. It depends on whether
they and their agents stick to their
guns or not and same for the Seahawks.
Another avenue would be to guarantee 
some of the years and add a good 
signing bonus. The Seahawks can
do a insurance policy in case they
don't work out or have a career ending
injury. We will see.

Emmanwori may not start at safety 
though the Seahawks may play three
safeties much of the time. Teams
often go with a nickel back on passing 
downs. Witherspoon is in the nickel 
back spot though he starts however 
he moved around a lot. Either of them
can be like a linebacker too. Most
likely work this way with both in
the game. 

Arroyo is listed as the third tight end.
This could change if the Seahawks 
trade Noah Fant. Important for him
to come to camp on time as the
Seahawks have a new offensive 
scheme. On running downs the
Seahawks will employ two tight
ends though they have added a
full back as well. Most likely see 
both on short downs.

The veterans will be reporting next
Tuesday. Center could be the most
competitive position on the offense. 
Who gets the job may decide to who 
starts at right guard as well. Left
guard along with left tackle and
right tackle are pretty much set.
Most experts think Seahawks 
number one pick this year  Grey 
Zabel though to set to start at
left guard his long time position 
might be center so we will see.

That is it for today. Go Hawks!

Day Two MLB Draft



The Mariners continued to take pitchers 
on day two and final day of the draft.

They drafted 11 more to make it 13 total.
They picked six in a row from round
six through 11.  They took two more
catchers in round 12 and 14. They took
an outfielder between them the second 
of three.  The Mariners took a shortstop
in round two and one other their final
pick in the draft number 20  Estevan 
Moreno from Notre Dame.  His batting
average this year was .230 with ten 
home runs. Being a 20th rounder it
will be tough to make it. 

A few minutes ago Cal Raleigh won
the home run derby. He just had 
made it in the first round by one foot 
in the tie break. Congratulations Cal. 

More On MLB Draft

The number two pick the Mariners selected 
Luke Stevenson catcher out on North Carolina. This was in competitive balance
round and number 35. What I have read
he could be another Cal Raleigh. Does
this means the Mariners will likely trade
Harry Ford.

In the second round the Mariners picked
Nick Becker a high school shortstop. 
It will be interesting if he plays shortstop 
or moved to another position. Always 
good to pick a shortstop.

In the third round right handed pitcher
Griffin Hugus out of University of Miami.
He began his college career at Cincinnati 
where he played shortstop as well as pitch.
Last year he transferred to Miami where
he primarily pitched and his pitching increased. Most likely start out as a starter 
however we see if he sticks there or goes
to the bullpen.

Round 4 thru 20 will take place on Monday.
Can see the draft on MLB.com. The M's 
likely will take more pitchers though the
best player at the time will be their choice. 
We will at the end of Monday. The home run
derby with Cal will take place Monday evening. Look forward to see how Cal
does.

Mariners Sweep Tigers

What s terrific series for the Seattle 
Mariners to sweep the Detroit Tigers
after being swept by the Yankees. 

The Tigers have the major league
best record at 59-38. The Tigers
were 5-2 in the last seven games  
before facing the Mariners. 

Sunday game again the Mariners 
did well once again in the 9th
inning. The score was tied 4-4
at the end of the 8th inning.

The Tigers scored first with two
runs in the first inning on an error
by first baseman Luke Raley.
The Mariners scored next in the
third inning when Julio Rodriguez 
hit a solo home run. It was the
third time Julio hit a home run
doing so in each game against 
the Tigers. It looks like Julio
is ready to go in this second 
half of the season.  

The Mariners  continue when  the
season returns after the break 
against the Houston Astros 
being an important time. Randy
Arozarena tied the game in the
4th with a solo home run. It
was his ninth home run in the
last thirteen games. It is going
to be hard for the opposition 
face Julio, Cal and Randy. Will
the Mariners be able to add 
another bat in the batting order.

The Mariners scored again in
the seventh with a home run
by Mitch Garver playing catcher. 
The Tigers took the lead in the
bottom of the 7th scoring two 
runs including a solo home run
by outfielder Riley Greene. 

In the 8th inning tied the game
with Randy Arozarena hitting
a double bring in Julio.  The
Mariners dominated the 9th
for the third game in a row. 
Jorge Polanco pinch hitter
going in for Ben Williamson 
hit a solo home run. Cole
Young followed with a home 
run himself. 

JP Crawford followed by walking.
followed by a double by Julio 
scoring JP. Cal had his last chance
to tie Barry Bonds to 39 home runs
before the all-star break instead
the Tigers intentionally walked 
him. Julio scored when he and 
Cal did a double steal and the ball
thrown into left field. The Tigers
went down in order when closer
Andre Munoz came in. Final
Mariners 8 Tigers 4

The major league baseball draft
is happening right now. The 
Mariners had the third pick overall 
and went for left handed starter
Kade Anderson out of LSU.
The Mariners five starters right
now are right handeds so adding
a lefty to the rotation eventually 
is a good thing. Anderson had 
Tommy John surgery his senior
year so missed that season in
2022.  

This year Anderson had a 12-1 record 
LSU. He started 19 games with an 
era of 3.33. He went 119 innings
walking 35 and striking out 180
batters which is dominating. He
throws his fast ball as high as 97
MPH. He was college national
pitcher of the year. He throws a
changeup as well as a curve ball.

Locally the Houston Astros drafted 
shortstop Xavier Neyens out of
Mount Vernon High School. We
will root for him except when they
face the Mariners down the road.
I am sure he and his family along
with friends when he comes to 
Seattle. The future major league 
could change divisions that will
be more friendly for the Mariners 
for travel.

Monday we will look who else the
Mariners draft and  how Cal does
in the home run derby. Tuesday 
night how Cal, Randy, Bryan Woo
and Andre Munoz does in the
All-star game. Go M's..

Mariners Power Wins Again

We may have thought the Mariners 
may have fallen down after being
swept in New York especially 
having a no hitter heading into
the 8th inning on  Thursday night.

For the second game in a row 
they scored runs in the 9th
to put it away. Have to credit 
the Tigers trying to find a way
to come back to win on Saturday.
Final Mariners 15 Tigers 7 

George Kirby didn't have outing
he wanted after two good ones
in a row.  He struggled throwing 
a lot of pitches in the first inning.
Gave up  just one run. The Mariners 
tied it in the second.  In the third
the Mariners scored five runs
including a three run homer 
by Luke Raley.

The third inning allowed the Mariners 
to chase Detroit Tigers starter Casey
Mize who came down to his first
loss at home. The Mariners added
another run in the fourth. In the 5th
Tiger's left fielder Riley Greene 
hit a three run homer to make it
interesting. Julio hit a solo home
run in the sixth inning to add another
run to extension the lead. He had
three hits on the day.  

Both teams scored two runs each
in the 8th inning. Matt Brash came
I'm not make it worse. Arozarena 
who is going to take Julio's in the
all-star game hit a two run homer. 

The Mariners scored four runs in
the 9th to help keep the Tigers
to win. Cal did hit a long one
on the day unfortunately it didn't 
go out however it was close. 
She if he can at least tie Barry 
 Bonds record of home runs 
before the break. Go M's.

.Mariners Beat Up on Tigers

The Seattle Mariners bounced back 
Friday night after the very disappointing 
loss on Thursday beating the Tigers
12 to 3 in Detroit. It is always good to 
win the first game of a series. 

Be great if the Mariners can take at 
least one more game in the series. 
It would have been nice to save
some runs for tomorrow.

Cal Raleigh had two more home
runs in the game including a
grand slam in the ninth inning.
The Mariners scored seven runs
to put the game out of hand in
the ninth. Cal now has 38 home
runs on the season and one 
behind Barry Bonds for the 
most home runs before the
all-star break. Two more by
Sunday he will have the record
before the all-star break.

Luis Castillo pitched into the
sixth inning however left
before getting any outs and
surrended two of his three 
runs.  The bullpen didn't 
give up a hit in four innings.

Before the game Julio Rodriguez 
announced he will not play in
the all-star game and instead 
will rest up for the second half
of the season. Seattle outfielder 
Randy Arozarena will take his spot.

George Kirby will start Saturday day
game for the Mariners against
the Tigers all-star pitcher Casey 
Mize. This should be a good 
outing on both sides.

Sunday will be the major league 
draft. The Mariners have the
number three pick. Should be
a very good choice. The Mariners 
are likely going to pick a college 
pitcher. Who it will be we will 
have to see. Go M's.

Yankees Sweep Mariners

Going into the 8th inning it looked like
Mariners would win easily then things 
fell apart in an unusual way.  

Heading into the seventh inning the
Mariners had scored two runs then 
Jorge Polanco hit a three run homer
to put the Mariners up 5-0.

Starter Bryan Woo pitched an awesome 
game going into the 8th inning. He 
walked the first two batters he faced 
in the game then no other batters 
reached base. He was  pitching a 
no hitter into the 8th. Woo had never 
pitched into the 8th. He ended up giving
up a single to the leadoff hitter. The next
hitter got a base hit too and a sacrifice 
fly scoring the Yankees first run.

The Mariners brought in Matt Brash.
He recorded the next batter out then
Brash gave up a two run homer to
make it 5-3. The Mariners batters 
went one, two and three outs in
the 9th. Andre Munoz pitched the
9th for the Mariners. Things still 
looked  good however he gave up
two runs to tie.

Game goes into extra innings.
The Mariners couldn't bring in the
runner from second in the 10th 
however the Yankees did on a
sacrifice fly by Aaron Judge.
I would say the .ost disappointing
loss of the season.

Now the Mariners go play the
Tigers in Detroit. We hope they
can recover. Go M's.

Yankees Beat Mariners Again

Wednesday night the Mariners lost to
the New York Yankees again. We hope 
they don't get swept on Thursday. 
Coming into the series the Yankees 
were struggling while the Mariners 
were swept the Pirates. 

My belief is the Mariners have trouble 
with a team like the Yankees for their 
talent and being World champions for
many years. It will be interesting if the
same happens against the Dodgers.

Final Yankees 9 Mariners 6

The Yankees scored three runs in the
first inning with small ball.  JP Crawford 
hit a home run in the third inning for
the Mariners.  Jazz Chisholm Jr.
hit first of two home runs in the
bottom of the third. Jorge Polanco 
hit a solo home run in the top of
the 4th to make it interesting.

The Yankees scored two runs in bottom 
of the fifth. Arozarena hit a home run
in the sixth however the Yankees scored
three in the bottom of the sixth. Cole
Young hit a two run homer in the seventh
for his first major league home run.

Logan Evans was the starter. He went four 
and two -thirds giving up six runs. This
was his first outing at Yankee Stadium.
Carlos Vargas who has done a surprising 
job as a rookie reliever was his 42nd
appearance. I believe the Mariners have to
watch his appearances since a lot at this 
point. They need to acquire another reliever.
 
Trent Thornton who has had an up and
down season pitched the final two 
innings and not surrendering a run.
Go M's.

Yankees Beat Up Mariners Tuesday Night

The first game of the series between the 
Mariners and Yankees started out with
light rain. The game got delayed in the
top of the fifth inning with two outs
and the score 0-0. Neither team was 
much up to that point. The Mariners 
only scored two runs in their previous 
two games against the Pirates and
fortunately won both since the pitching
didn't give a run in that series.

The game was delayed for about an
hour before action returned. Logan
Gilbert was back on the mound when
the Yankees came up. JP Crawford 
made the third out for the Mariners.

Gilbert gave up one run in the bottom of 
the fifth. In the sixth inning he struggled 
more and gave up four runs with three
on a home run to Giancarlo Stanton. 
Gilbert left with one out.  This questions
whether a starter should return after
a rain delay in the fifth inning. I am sure
Gilbert wanted to continue however 
maybe Manager Dan Wilson should have
made another decision and put someone 
else in.

Casey Legunmina who came in for Gilbert 
didn't fair any better. He gave up two home 
runs including a two-run homer in the sixth.
He gave up a total of five runs. Rookie
Juan Burgos making only his second
appearance since being recalled from
triple A finished the game going one and
two-thirds innings. He gave just one hit and 
struck out two. 

The Mariners did get three runs in the
eighth inning. The highlight was Cal
Raleigh hitting a two run homer for 
his 36th home run breaking Ken Griffey
Jr. record for the Mariners before the
the all-star break. Congratulations on
Cal continue doing it. We now hope the
Mariners can score more runs in New
York. Go M's.

Mariners Report Card for 2025 Halfway

The Seattle Mariners season is a little 
over halfway though they consider the
all-star game as the halfway mark.

I give the Mariners a grade of B- since
are over the 500 mark. Going 5-2 in
the last home stand helped. Now they
play against the Yankees in New York 
for three followed by the Detroit Tigers 
for three. The Tigers have the best record 
while the Yankees have struggled lately.
The surprise is the Toronto Blue Jays
are in first of the American League East.
The likelihood is both the Yankees and
the Mariners will be in the playoffs even 
if they don't win their divisions. 

The pitching I give the  grade of Bt.
Injuries to the starting rotation is the
reason for the Bt. We hope for an A
after the all-star break. Both Emerson 
Hancock and Logan breakEvans have been 
a good help while Kirby, Gilbert and 
Miller had been out. Miller should be
back shortly after the all-star break.
He is going to start a rehab assignment 
with the Tacoma Rainiers.

It is nice that Bryan Woo who has had an
excellent first half will be on the all-star 
team as well as reliever and closer Andre 
Munoz who matches Woo in performance.

I give the Mariners a C for the offense.
This mainly for the first half that catcher
Cal Raleigh has had. He gets an A plus
for the best hitting a catcher has had in
the history of baseball in the first half.
Fans nationally recognized it and voted
 to start in the all-star game and be in the
home run derby. He leads the majors in
home runs and rbis. 

Julio Rodriguez is going to be on the 
all-star team as well mainly for his defense.
We hope he gets hot now. I give him a Ct
because  of his defense. 

The Mariners offense got off to hot start
however fizzled  in May except Cal of
course. Both Jorge Polanco and Dylan Moore 
had a good start however May on they
haven't been recognized. Randy Arozarena 
has headed up on the last home stand
Luke Raley is now back after being hurt
for about six weeks. He will play both
first base and right field. Play center field 
when Julio needs a day off. Dominic Canzone 
had done well since he came up from
triple A. We hope he continues his good play.
Donovan Solano who didn't get off to a good
start has hit well recently. We hope more from
him in the second half.

The Mariners brought up Williamson early
to play third base and Colt Young came up
in June to take over at second. Both have
done well as rookies. We hope more steady
in the second half. They have played good 
defense and find in the bottom of the
batting order.

Now we will see if the Mariners can pull
off a trade for a bat who can help when
the others offense is flat. Another reliever 
would be nice too. Go M's.

Seahawks Monday

Fall camp is about to start this
coming weekend. 

The big question mark is the offense.
It isn't the new quarterback or the 
offensive line really it is the new 
scheme. How well will the players
handle it.

I expect the passing game will be ok
though we may not see as much passing 
because of the scheme. We hope for
more success though in the passing 
game everything will be alright. The 
question still be can the offensive line 
block for the running game. We will 
find out.

The most important is the center position.
It is one the starter could change on the
Seahawks too. Olu Oluwatini is listed on
the first team at center however training 
camp will show if he actually does start.
If he doesn't start there could be other
changes may happen to. Along with other 
things we willet you know. 

The three preseason games won't let
us know who the starters will be outside
of some positions since we won't see
the starters much at all in preseason.
Personally I think they should start 
game three even if it is only one series.
Let you know how things go. Go Hawks!

Mariners Sweep Pirates

The Seattle Mariners had a good homestand
going 5-2. Not only did they sweep the
Pirates they shutout them out all three games. On top that coming into this series 
the Pirates had shut out the St. Louis
Cardinal three times. This the first time
in major league baseball a baseball team
shutout another team in a series and 
turn around get shut out themselves.

The score Sunday was the same as 
Saturday with the Mariners getting
one run.  The Mariners got their run
on a home run by Randy Arozarena 
in the bottom of sixth inning. Paul
Skenes the Pirates outstanding starting 
pitcher left after the seventh inning.
He gave up only five hits to the Mariners
while striking out ten without a walk.

George Kirby the  Mariners starter almost
matched up Skenes. He went six and 
one-thirds inning giving up four hits. He
left after giving up a hit in the seventh.
He struck out nine batters. 

The Mariners have Monday off then
play three games against the Yankees 
in New York. Next weekend they take
on the Detroit Tigers. Neither of those
teams will be easy to beat however
we hope the pitching continues.

During the game it was announced that
the Mariners will have three other players 
going to the all-star game besides Cal
Raleigh who is having the best season 
so far than any catcher has ever had in
baseball season. Starter Bryan Woo having 
a great season as well as reliever Andre Munoz which isn't a surprise and outfielder 
Julio Rodriguez who is a surprise. 

The Mariners are now 48-42 and still seven
games behind the Houston Astros who
have been playing very well. The Texas Rangers are third three games behind 
the Mariners. The LA Angels are a game
behind them. The Athletics are struggling 
at their new home ball park in Sacramento.
They are seven games behind the Angels.

We hope the Mariners can pull off a trade
to pick up at least one bat before the 
trade deadline at the end of July. Sooner
in my mind that is.  Go M's.

Mariners Shut Out Pirates Again

For the second game in the series on
Saturday night the Mariners Shutout 
the Pirates.

It wasn't quite the same this time
as the Mariners were only able to 
score one run themselves. This
means the outcome didn't come
until the last out of the game.

Ben Williamson hit a double in the
sixth inning to bring Jorge Polanco 
across the plate. The Mariners had 
other opportunities however like
often could bring them home. Makes
it frustrating where one mistake could 
cost you the same but that didn't 
happen for the Mariners anyway..

Luis Castillo pitched a wonderful game
for the Mariners going seven innings
on two hits. Matt Brash and Andre Munoz 
took care of the eighth and ninth.

The Mariners now will see if they can
sweep the Pirates on Sunday night. 
At the very least have won the series.
Go M's.

Friday, July 4, 2025

Mariners Shutout Pirates

The Seattle Mariners had an afternoon game 
at home against the Pittsburgh Pirates

Final Seattle 6 Pittsburgh 0

 Bryan Woo again went six innings 
giving up three hits, two walks and 
eight strike outs. He has pitched
more games of six innings or more
then any starter in the majors this
season.

Cal Raleigh was back at it again 
having two home runs while Randy 
Arozarena and Dylan Moore each
had one.

Now we see if the Mariners can take
game two on Saturday night with
Luis  Castillo on the mound. 
Go M's. 


Thursday, July 3, 2025

Mariners Split Series

It would have been nice if the 
Mariners could have won this
series. After winning by one run
Wednesday night they lost by
one run Thursday night 3-2.

The Royals scored two runs
in the seventh inning for the
win. Dominic Canzone led off
the ninth with a home run.
The Mariners were able to get 
two more runners on base so
had opportunity to tie or win
the game. 

The Mariners had ten hits while
the Royals had five. Most times
they won't win with two runs scored.
Offense needs to play more small 
ball.

The weekend series will be against
the Pittsburgh Pirates so hopefully 
can take two out of three. Go M's.

Wednesday, July 2, 2025

Mariners Win One Run Game

The Mariners win game three on
Wednesday night 3-2.

The Royals scored a run in the first
inning off Logan Gilbert. He and
the Royals starter only went four and 
two-thirds innings throwing too many 
pitches. 

The Mariners finally scored in the
sixth inning when Randy Arozarena 
hit his fourth home run in last three
games. He drove in another run
as well. So did Julio drive in a run.
Cal Raleigh had the day off. He
was announced as the starting 
catcher in the all-star game.

Matt Brash gave up the other run
to the Royals. It was his first run
given up on the season so we will
excuse him. 

Emerson Hancock was sent down to
Tacoma. This will allow him to pitch
in order before the all-star break.
Logan Evans is being called up
from Tacoma to start on Thursday 
night. Bryan Woo will start on
Friday against the Pittsburgh Pirates 
This means each starter will be
moved back a day. Go M's.

Oh by the way 17th one run win on 
the season. 

Washington Huskie Football Going On

The Washington Huskies football team 
will be starting fall camp soon.

Look on offense, besides the starting
receivers there is not any with much
college experience. They will get it
when the chance comes. The same 
for the offensive line.

Quentin Moore returns at tight end.
Also Decker DeGraaf who had an
outstanding freshman season last year.

Jonah Coleman comes back as the
starting running back. Adam Mohammed 
will get much of the reps when Jonah
needs a rest. Jordan Washington expected 
to be the third running back.

On defense the Huskies have a lot
of experience however most are 
unfamiliar names as they are transfers.

We will look more at these guys as time
passes on. Go Dawgs!

Royals Even Series In Seattle Tuesday Night

We hope the Mariners can win this
four game series however they lost
Tuesday night 6-3 so series is at 2-2.

Emerson Hancock started and
struggled however he was able to go six
innings giving up five runs. The bullpen
needed him to go that long.

Only used two relievers. Juan Burgos
made his Mariners and manor league
debut. He pitched the eighth and ninth
innings. He gave up one run with two
outs in the top of the  ninth. 

The Mariners first run was in the second 
inning Randy Arozarena hit a solo home 
run. His third home run in two days.
The Mariners had seven hits on the
night with Arozarena having two.
Now we see if the Mariners can rebound
on Wednesday.  Go M's.

Seahawks Tuesday

Last week the Seahawks had off
season mini camp. They are now
on break. Either vacation or working 
out. Preseason camp will begin at
the end of July. 

The Seahawks were looking at
trading tight end Noah Fant 
to the Pittsburgh Steelers to team
up with former Seahawks receiver
DK Metcalf. On Monday morning 
the Steelers made a trade with
the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins
send defensive back Jalen Ramsey 
and their tight Jonnu Smith to the
Steelers. Now Fant could be traded
to the Dolphins now. I am sure other
teams are being discussed.

Trading Fant would save the Seahawks 
over $9 million in space when it comes to
the salary cap. This would allow the
Seahawks trade or sign another player.
Though Fant is a good receiver the
change in the offense the tight end
is important in the running game. 

The question still is whether running
back Kenneth Walker III fits into
that scheme for the Seahawks along
with his health. Stay tuned. Go Hawks!

.Mariners Win Arriving Home

The game at Seattle Monday night 
off to a slow start. The Kansas City 
Royals scored first with a run in the
third inning. The Mariners had a
solo home run by Randy Arozarena
in the 4th inning. It was his 100th
home run of his career. 

In the fifth inning the Mariners 
scored four runs including Randy 
Arozarena having his second
one of the game with two runners
on base.

In the seventh the Mariners scored
their sixth run of the game s solo
home run from no other than Cal
Raleigh. It was his 33rd of the season 
tying the most ever to hit that  many
by the end of June. The other two 
Ken Griffey Jr. and Sammy Soto.
The only two with more home runs 
by end of June Barry Bonds and
Mark McGuire.

George Kirby went six innings for
the Mariners giving up three hits and 
one run. Second game he did that.
He didn't walk a batter either.

Final Mariners 6 Royal 2

Like the series at Minnesota the
Mariners play four games at home
against the Royals. Tuesday night
Emerson Hancock will start. Go M's.

Mariners Win In Extra Innings

For the third time in a row the Mariners 
they went extra innings against the
Texas Rangers. Fortunately they won
the two games the first and last that
went 22 innings.

Heading into extra innings the score 
was 1-1.  The Mariners scored two
runs in the tenth inning. Texas tied
in the bottom of the inning on a Corey
Seager homer run. Neither team 
scored in the 11th.  

In the 12th inning Donovan Solano 
ground out and Luke Raley scored.
Mitch Garver back behind the plate
after being hit in the mask in Minnesota 
hit a two run homer with Arozarena 
to give the Mariners a three run lead.
Corey Seager had a sacrifice fly for
the Rangers only run.

Luis Castillo went six innings for the
Mariners as did the Rangers started.
Trent Thornton pitched the last two
innings recording the winner.

Garver had his best play on this road
trip having three home runs. Solano
had a great trip too. His average is
now up to .258. With Rowdy Tellez 
being released Solano will have more
playing time. Luke Raley will play some
first base as well as right field. How
much playing time for Solano comes
down to how good Dominic Canzone 
plays. Both Canzone and Raley are 
lefties so how both are hitting will
determine the playing time.

You would think Dylan Moore would 
play some right field against lefties 
however he has been in a big slump 
over the last 32 games or so. In fact
many fans wonder why he is still on
the team. That is a good question.

At some point Victor Robles will
return however after the all-star 
break I am sure at the earliest.
Will the Mariners look for another
right handed bat. Go M's.

Mariners Lose In Extra Innings

Saturday the Mariners lost to
the Texas Rangers 3-2 in ten 
innings.

The first five games of this
road trip the Mariners were 
scoring without a problem.
Now they have trouble scoring.

The two runs the Rangers
scored in regulation time
was in the third inning.
The Mariners had an error 
so Bryan Woo pitched great
otherwise gave up those two
runs in the third inning. 

The Mariners scored a single
in the third inning and sixth.
Arozarena drove in a run
and Dominic Canzone had
a solo home run.

The Mariners couldn't do anything 
though a runner on second in
the tenth. Andre Munoz had 
trouble with his slider so went
to his fastball. With the bases 
loaded Marcus Seiman hit a
single to win

Sunday the Mariners will see 
the offense come alive. If so
this will make it a successful 
road trip otherwise a disappoint-
ment. Go M's.

Friday, June 27, 2025

Mariners Win In 12 Innings

Friday night game in Texas against 
the Rangers the Mariners won
in 12 Innings.

In the bottom of the 11th Miles
Mastrobuino made an outstanding 
catch which they would have lost
if he hadn't made it. In the top
of the 12th Mastrobuino hit a
double to score the winning run.

This was an important win since
the Mariners lost the last two games
at Minnesota. Also winning the
first game of a series is important 
as well.

Both teams scored a run the first
inning.  They added four more 
runs through the sixth. The Rangers
scored three in the bottom of the
sixth then tied in the seventh. Stayed
that way until extra innings.

The Mariners had the opportunity 
go blow it open in extra innings 
loading the bases but couldn't 
take advantage of it.

I am not sure many other teams 
blow as many as the Mariners.
It is frustrating to watch. At
least they won in the end.
Now we see if the Mariners 
can win on Saturday too.

The Mariners brought up
Harry Ford in case Mitch
Garver had to go on the 
injured list but doesn't 
look like it will happen.

Cal Raleigh is going to be
in the home run derby at 
the all-star game. His dad
will be his pitcher and his
brother the catcher. A family 
affair for sure.

Mariners Split Series With Twins

Thursday's game between the 
Mariners and Twins was delayed 
for four hours before it was started

I am sure the Mariners wish they
hadn't played the game.
Final Twins 10 Mariners 1

Mitch Garver was injured getting
hit in the neck and chin so he had 
to leave the game in the fifth inning.

The Tacoma Rainiers are playing 
in Round Rock Texas and Harry
Ford was stretched from their
Thursday night.

Not sure how serious Garver's 
injury is however if he does go
on the injured list Ford will be
activated to take Garver's spot.

The game was scoreless until 
the fifth inning when the Rangers
Scored twice off of Emerson 
Hancock. He gave up a two run 
homer. Zach Pop who was activated
recently gave up eight runs in the
sixth inning with seven being earned.
Pop gave up six hits and two walks 
along with two homers.

After winning two games in the series 
the last two were a disappointment
Primarily it was the lack of hitting 
however giving up eight runs by
Pop didn't help.

Now the Mariners go to Texas to
face the Rangers. We hope they
can take two out of three. 

The hitting needs to get back in order
for sure. Ok for a couple games but they
need to score at least five runs a game.
Good to trade to fix in the lineup. Go M's.


Wednesday, June 25, 2025

Mariners Shutout by Twins

George Kirby pitched a good game
and gave up a run in the sixth
inning his last one. The Twins Will 
Castro drove in the run on a single.
Castro had a great series when the
two teams played in Seattle. The
Mariners pitched him well up to
now.

The Twins were able to match
the Mariners in this game after 
having trouble in the last two 
games. The only other game 
the Mariners had trouble scoring 
was the one they lost to the Cubs
in Chicago. 

The Mariners had only three hits
in the game Wednesday night
and the Twins had four and two
were the ones that gave them
the win.

The two teams face each other
in the final game on Thursday 
afternoon. The Mariners hope 
the bats come back alive. We
do too. 

The Mariners head to Texas
after Thursday game for a 
three game series against 
the Rangers. 

Rangers currently in fourth place
just behind the Angels by half a
game. The Mariners are two games
ahead of the Rangers. Go M's 



Tuesday, June 24, 2025

Mariners Promote Minor Leaguers

The Seattle Mariners promoted four
players from single A Everett to
the double  A Arkansas for the second
half of the season.

Right fielder Lazaro Montes, infielder
Michael Arroyo along with pitchers
Marcelo Perez and Charlie Beilenson
all helped the AquaSox to win Northwest 
League first half after getting off to
a slow start.

Montes is the Mariners number two
prospect after Cole Young became 
the Mariners second baseman. 
His batting average at Everett is
.268 and he leads the league with
18 home runs and 50 rbis. 

Michael Arroyo hit .262 with 15 home 
runs and 30 rbis. He is the Mariners 
number seven prospect.  It is hard to
know whether either or both play for 
the Mariners. They could end up 
being traded in a blockbuster trade 
at some point however if they do
Montes will likely play some right
field and dh. Arroyo will be the team's 
utility player since he can play every 
infield spot.

Marcelo Perez started right games 
for the AquaSox with a 4-2 record 
and a 2.04 era. Perez walked only
five batters while striking out 34
in 35 1/3 innings Belinson who
throws right handed is a reliever.
He was drafted last year in the
fifth round. He is 25 years old so
a veteran in college anyway. He
struck out 48 batters in 34 innings
over 20 games. 

Curtis Washington Jr. an outfielder
was promoted to Everett after playing 
for Modesto. He was hitting .308
at . Modesto.

Mariners Hits Keep Coming

Mariners beat the Twins in Minnesota 
Monday night  11-2.

Sunday the Mariners scored in all 
but two innings. In this game all
runs were scored in three innings.

The Twins pitching has been
struggling with them. This is 
now their tenth loss in eleven 
games.  They are now in fourth
place in the American League
Central. 

The Mariners have scored 41 runs
on this road trip and 3-1 record. 
The Mariners scored six runs in
the third inning. JP Crawford had
a sacrifice fly then Julio had a 
two-run home. He hadn't homered
in a while. Luke Raley had a three-run
homer in the third inning as well.

Dominic Canzone had a home run in
the top of the sixth. The only runs
starter Bryan Woo gave up were in
the bottom of the sixth back to back
home runs.

Mariners scored their last four runs 
in the ninth. Julio hit a double for
two runs. Cal Raleigh continues to
be hot hitting another home run
with Julio scoring ahesd of him.
Cal was named player of the week 
once again. He might get it again
this week.

The pitching of the Twins has been 
bad that starter Bailey Over went
seven innings and giving up seven
runs. He didn't walk a batter however
that didn't make a difference.

Luis  Castillo will start on Tuesday 
night. See if the Mariners can continue
this playing. Go Team.


Sunday, June 22, 2025

Another Good Win By Mariners

The Seattle Mariners had their hitting
bats going on Sunday once again.
They actually had 18 hits going with their 14 runs scored. Final 14-6 over the Cubs.
Though the weather was hot again in
Chicago so were the hits.

The Mariners scored every inning
except the third and the ninth.
The game started with Cal Raleigh 
hitting his fourth of the series and
now 31 for the season. He had 
another hit along with two walks
and scored three times. He has 66
rbis and hitting .276 which is his 
career high. 

Donovan Solano certainly likes
Wrigley Field having two home
runs on the day and driving in
five runs. Dominic Canzone had
two home runs as well. Miles
Mastrobuino had three hits as
well so the bottom of the order
did their job.

Logan Gilbert making his second
start since getting off the injuries
list went five innings once again.
The bullpen did another fine job
as well. Andre Munoz is finding 
it hard to get in these days since
haven't had any close games and
being ahead. 

Bryan Woo will start Monday against
the Minnesota Twins. Their pitchers
had trouble against Milwaukee over
the weekend giving up 35 runs.
We hope the Mariners continue what
they did in Chicago.

The Mariners are still second place 
and four and a half behind the
Astros.  The Astros face the Phillies 
at home beginning on Tuesday.
Next weekend they play the Cubs 

Saturday, June 21, 2025

Cubs Get Off to Great Start To Win

The weather was in the mid 90s
Saturday afternoon which didn't 
help the Mariners. Emerson 
Hancock had his worst start
since the opening game of the 
season.

Emerson only pitched four innings.
He gave up nine runs in the first
three innings including giving up
four home runs and nine runs total.
Ian Happ had two home runs first
leading off the first inning for the
Cubs. The second was in the second
inning with two runners on base.
Kyle Tucker a former Astro player
followed Happ too. 

The Mariners scored their first run
in the top of the second when Luke
Raley drove in Polanco however
down by one didn't last. The Mariners 
down 9-1 when they did make a
comeback though not enough to win.

In the 4th inning Polanco scored again.
Donovan Solano singled him in. Raley
scored on a Cole Young sacrifice fly.
In the fifth the Mariners scored three
Moore runs. Polanco, Arozarena, Raley 
and Solano took part in that nursing
too. 

Solano seems like to hit in Wrigley Field.
Now that Rowdy Tellez was designated 
for assignment Solano is going to play
more. Raley started in right field however
at times he will play at first base when
Dominic Canzone starts against a right.
We may see Dylan Moore start against
lefties in right field. The trouble is he
hasn't hit very well since the beginning 
of May. In his last 30 games Moore is
batting .156 and it has gotten worse
most recently. Also has one home run
in those games and driven in three runs.
Makes things worse he has struck out
31 times in 64 at bats. Talk about a
slump. We will see what happens 
during the rest of this road trip. 

Again Cal Raleigh had a home run
though meaningless in the 9th inning.
Now he has  30 home runs breaking
Johnny Bench's record for a catcher
before the all-star break and for a
switch hitter. Who knows where the
records go as he continues on this
season. The other amazing thing
is he did this all after signing a
six year extension for the Mariners 
right before the season. Not sure
anyone has done something like
that before either. 

I am sure the Mariners will make
moves to the lineup on Sunday 
since it will be hot again. Wouldn't 
surprise me if Cal doesn't start
Sunday however may play a part
in the game if necessary.

After Sunday game the Mariners will be
off to Minnesota to play the Twins.
Go M's.

Mariners Have Slug Fest In Chicago

The Seattle Mariners offense had their way on Friday afternoon at Wrigley
Field beating the Chicago Cubs
9-4.

Cal Raleigh had one of his two
home runs in the first inning
as a solo shot. The Cubs had
three runs in the first inning.
Both starting pitchers settled
down after that.  George Kirby
did give up another home run
in the third. Both Kirby and 
Cubs pitcher Matthew Boyd
who did play one season with
the Mariners each left after
the fifth inning. Boyd is from
Mercer Island Washington.

The Mariners bullpen did a
great job only surrendering
two hits however the  Cubs
didn't. They gave up seven
runs.  The Mariners three 
through six in the lineup
most of the damage. Besides
Cal having two home runs
and driving three runs so
did Mitch Garver having
two runs and driving in five.
Mitch had only one home
run on the season before the
game. His first home run was
in the six inning driving in two
however going into the 9th
the Mariners had a two run 
lead however Mitch hit a 
three-run homer to ice it.
Before the homer the thought
was Andre Munoz would pitch
the bottom of the ninth. It
didn't need him after the homer.
The game ended with a great
double play started by third
baseman Ben Williamson. 

Randy Arozarena though he
didn't drive in a run did get
three hits in front of Garver
and scoring twice. Donovan
Solano had three hits on
the day drove in a run the
only one not done by Cal
or Mitch. 

Before the game the Mariners
activated outfielder-first baseman
Luke Raley. Though he didn't start
against the Cubs since Boyd is
a lefty he came in for Dylan Moore
who started in right field.

The Mariners when activating
Raley they designated Rowdy
Tellez for assignment. With
both Raley and Tellez hitting
left handed was the reason.
The Mariners decided to keep
Dominic Canzone on the roster
too. Expect the Mariners to try
to trade Tellez or another team
will take him on waivers. The
likelihood he won't pass through
waivers. 

The Mariners have Leodys Taveras
who was dfa then passed through
0)waivers when Canzone came up 
so he could come up to Seattle
at some point.  He is currently 
hitting .306 in Tacoma however
only six games.

Mitch Garver says he hits well
at Wrigley Field so we will see
how he does and how much he
plays in the next two games.
He did dh in this one. All three
being day games will Cal catch
each one and they will wait until
getting to Mitch to catch Garver.
He played for Twins before the
Rangers so he will likely get into
more games. This will give more
to trade Harry Ford or wait until
the offseason we will see. Go M's.

Mariners Lose Pitching Match Up

Not a big surprise the Mariners lost to
the Boston Red Sox Wednesday
afternoon 3-1.

The matchup was between Luis Castillo for the Mariners and lefty
Garrett Grochet for the Red Sox.

The Mariners approach was to
make Grochet to throw a lot of
pitches early however they were
unable to take advantage. The
only run the Mariners got was
in the second inning tying the
game on a wild pitch after the
Red Sox had a home run. 

Trevor Story hit a two-run homer
in the fourth inning to make the
difference in the game.  Both 
starters went six innings. Also
both teams bullpen did a great
job neither giving up a hit.

The Mariners pitching was good
throughout the home stand. They
could have won all six games with
a decent amount of hitting outside
of Tuesday night's game.  This
again shows the Mariners need 
to add another bat to the lineup.

The Mariners are hoping Luke
Raley back soon who is on a
rehab assignment with the
Tacoma. Not sure he is enough
however picking up a clutch hitter
to the group would be nice.

The Mariners have Thursday off
then play the Cubs in Chicago
over the Mariners. The Mariners
will be on a ten game road trip.
During next week they play four
at Minnesota against the Twins.
It will help if the Mariners can
at least split the ten games. 
Go M's.

Mariners Even Series

The Seattle Mariners even the series
behind the pitching of Bryan Woo
and the bat of Cal Raleigh.

Final Seattle 8 Boston 0

Yes this time Mariners shutout
the Red Sox after losing Monday
in the last game.

BryanWoo went seven innings
giving up just one hit while
waling two and striking out
six. Can't do much better
than that. He  now has a record
of 6-4.

Cal Raleigh hit a grand slam
home run in the second inning.
All the runs the  Mariners needed.
Led 5-0 after that as Cole Young
drove in a run before that.
The Mariners scored three runs
in the fourth inning with two
coming in on a Cal Raleigh double.
Jorge Polanco had a sacrifice fly 
too.

Luis Castillo will start final game
Wednesday afternoon. The Red
Sox will have a lefty. The Mariners
have struggled against lefties
most of the season. We will see
if they can change things and
win the final game. Go M's.

Washington State Cougars Recruiting Class 2026

The Washington State Cougars right
now have 15 committed players for
the class of 2026. All but three are
three star prospects. Those three 
have no ranking yet.

Six players are on offense while
the remaining on defense. Hudson
Kurkland of Lake Oswego Oregon.
Kingston Fotualil offensive lineman
is the lone  player in Washington from
O'Dea High School in Seattle. 

They have one wide receiver Hudson
Lewis of Boise Idaho and two tight
ends. One listed as athete in Landon
Kalsbeck from Littleton Colorado.

On defense the Cougars have three
edge rushers and safeties. Kameron
Hurst is lone cornerback from St.
Louis Missouri. They have one
lineman and one linebacker. 

How many more recruits they
will have we will see in the
months ahead.  Go Cougs. 


Mariners Shut Out Monday

It was disappointing the Mariners
were shut out by the Red Sox in
the open  of the three game series.

Final Boston 3 Seattle 0

Like often happens they had the
bases loaded early on in the game
and couldn't bring in a single run.

Logan Gilbert had his first start
after coming off the injured. He 
looked good despite giving up
two runs in five innings. Expect
to go a little longer in his next
outing. Go M's.

Mariners Sweep Cleveland

I am sure no one expected the
Mariners to sweep the Guardians
after being swept in the last 
series at Arizona. Of course we
will take it.

Sunday Final Seattle 6 Cleveland 0

Emerson Hancock continues to
look like someone who is a former
first round pick and continues
getting quality. The question is 
what will they do when Bryce 
Miller gets  back. Speaking of 
that Logan Gilbert expected to
start against Boston on Monday.

The big hit was JP Crawford grand
slam in the second inning. He
will remember being a first time
father on father's day.

Back to Hancock he went seven innings giving up only two hits.
He walked one and struck out
two.

Logan Gilbert will come off
injured list to start Monday
in game one of the series
against Red Sox. Go M's.

Mariners Win In Walkoff Fashion

Saturday night was another
one run game for the Mariners.
Heading into the bottom of
the ninth the Mariners were 
down by one. This means
facing Cleveland's closer
and they had success.

Dylan Moore who pinch run
for Dominic Canzone after
his single was able to get
to third base. Mastrobuino
who pinch hit for Williamson
ended up walking. Cole Young
laid down a bunt to move
Moore and Mastrobuino over
to third and second. JP Crawford
walked to load the bases. 
Dylan Moore scored to tie the
score on a wild pitch. Julio
Rodriguez struck out on a 
hundred plus fastball. Cal
Raleigh was intentionally
walked. Jorge Polanco hit
single to score Mastrobuino
with winning run.

George Kirby went five innings
struggling a bit but gave up
just two runs. Gabe Speier 
gave up the go ahead on a
wind pitch. The other three
relievers did a goof job.

It looks like Emerson Hancock
will start Sunday and see of they
can sweep this series.

Interesting the Mariners play 
better against the good clubs.
It would be nice to play better
against the not so good clubs. 
Go M's.

Mariners Win Friday Night

It has been a while however
the Seattle Mariners one
the first game of the series
7-2 over Cleveland. Also they
have even record at 34-34.
The Mariners are four and
half behind the Astros in the
AL West. The Rangers and 
Angels are a game behind
the Mariners.

Cleveland scored twice in
the third hitting back to
back home runs and that
was it for the night. Luis
Castillo had a quality start
going six innings giving
up three hits, three walks
and seven strike outs .

The bullpen did a great job
giving up  one hit and no
walks. 

The Mariners tied the game
in the fourth inning on a
home run by Rowdy Tellez 
and a single by JP Crawford
to score Ben Williamson.
JP had a good game having
three hits. 

In the 7th inning the Mariners
scored four runs to break it
open. Randy Arozarena hit
a single scoring Cal Raleigh
who had walked and Jorge
Polanco to third base. 

Dominic Canzone who was
called up this week hit a single
scoring Polanco and Arozarena.
Cole Young finished the damage
hitting a double to bring home
Çanzone.

The Mariners had Andre Munoz
warning up in the bullpen looking
like he would pitch the ninth.
Polanco hit a solo home run
to make it seven runs. Arozarena
had an infield hit and Canzone
had a hit to right field. Both were
stranded though didn't need tgem.
Munoz didn't pitch the ninth instead
Bazardo did. 

After his last great start George 
Kirby is supposed to go on Saturday.
There is a possibility Logan Gilbert
will come off the injured list to 
start on Sunday. If not it will be
Emerson Hancock. We should
see Gilbert in the series against
the Red Sox if he doesn't start
Sunday.  Go M's.

Tacoma's Catcher Harry Ford & More

The Seattle Mariners going on
a 1-5 road trip this past week
and before that a not so good
home stand had gotten off
to  good start are now 33-34.

Injuries primarily to pitching
staff along with a few position
players finally got to them.
Logan Gilbert being on rehab
assignment is expected back
soon. Bryce Miller is on injured
list for second time and who
knows when he will be back.
Luke Raley outfielder-first 
baseman is starting rehab 
assignment this Thursday
for the Tacoma Rainiers. 
How long a lot will depend
how he hits.

It has been at least a month
that fans want to see Harry
Ford catcher with Rainiers 
up with the ballclub. The
Mariners are playing Cal 
Raleigh a lot as well and
without his production the
Mariners record wouldn't be
this good.

The thing with Ford the Mariners
need to play him a few times a
week. With Cal Raleigh who will
catch probably five days a week
or at least four.  This means Ford
would have to dh a few times
a week or play in the outfield
or some place. In Tacoma Ford
is at dh now as well as catch.

Mitch Garver who is currently
the backup catcher and dh on 
occasion against lefties is
hitting .200. The trouble isn't
the average it is the fact he
has only one home run and
has driven in 10 runs. Garver
only has three doubles so
four extra base hits in 21 total
hits. The Mariners need more
than that. His defense is good
however the Mariners more
production out of him.

Last year though Garver's batting average was .172 his home runs
was at 15 and 51 RBIs. At this
rate he won't be close at all.

Does this mean bring Harry Ford
up and releasing Garver. They
still have to pay him regardless
what he does. You have to figure
Ford will be the backup catcher
next season. Adding another 
position besides dh will probably
happen during the upcoming
offseason. President of baseball
operations Jerry Dipoto says 
there is no plan to trade Ford 
so bringing him up sounds like 
the thing to do. 

This week the Mariners brought
up Dominic Canzone from Tacoma
and dfa Leody Taveras who could
play for the Rainiers.

On Wednesday Harry Ford who has
been hot as of late like Canzone
and Cole Young before him. On
Wednesday night Ford a grand slam
home run in the third inning and
a double to driving in a total of
six runs.  He is batting .312 with
seven home  runs and 36 RBIs
after getting off to a slow start.

At Everett AquaSox Luis Suisbel
third baseman has been a big
surprise leading the team with
a .284 batting average. He has 
seven home runs which is fifth
on the team. Outfielder and 
superstar in the making Lazaro
Montes has thirteen home runs
and 41 RBIs to lead Everett.
Another top prospect infielder
Michael Arroyo got off to a slow
start however now he is second
to Montes with eleven home runs
and has thirty RBIs.

Update you again on other prospects
in the Mariners minor leagues soon.



Washington Huskies Football Recruiting Class 2026

Our first look of the year at next
year's football recruiting class
for the Washington Huskies.

The put out 229 offers out there
with 13 commits so far. Many of 
the offers the players are going
elsewhere. With the transfer
portal the recruiting classes 
are not as large as they used
to be. Now colleges are going
to pay the players plus have NIL
on top of that.  

The Huskies recruiting class
has four offensive players, six
defensive and two who are
identified as athletes. Those
two most likely play offense
however could go to defense.
Also have a kicker too.

The Huskies have three four-star
recruits while the rest are three-star.
Offensive tackle Kodi Greene out
of Santa Ana was the first one to commit in late April. Gavin Day
safety from Las Vegas was the
most recent. The third of the trio
is local Derek Colman-Brusa from
Kennedy Catholic who is edge rusher.

The Huskies have two other players
locally as three-star prospect. Elijah 
Durr cornerback from Mt. Tahoma
in Tacoma and defensive lineman
Ah Deong Yang from Puyallup
High School.  Besides Day they
have two other players from Las
Vegas in athlete Dre Pollard and
offensive tackle Dominic Harris.

The other listed as athlete is Sam
Vyhlidal from Beaverton Oregon.
Another Oregon player is running
back Ansu Sanoe from Lake Oswego.
The lone quarterback in the group
is Derek Zammit from Wayne New
Jersey. Two more cornerbacks in
Ksani Jiles from Bradenton Florida
and CJ Lavender from Santa Ana
California. The kicker is CJ Wallace
from St. John Bosco from Bellflower
California a school  the Huskies have
gotten players from before.

We will update you again when 
we find out any other players commit.
Go Dawgs.

Mariners Get Swept

The Mariners got beat again in
the final game of the series.
Arizona 5 Seattle/2

Bryan Woo was cruising along 
fine until the six inning. Ended
up loading the bases with no outs.
He was able to get one out however
former  Mariner Eduardo Suarez hit
a grand slam to win the game.
The Mariners were leading at the
time 2-0. Still not enough to win.

Matt Brash came in and pitch
the seventh inning. To be honest
he would have been the only 
reliever I would have put in
besides Munoz. Not sure why
manager Wilson didn't do so
but that's life.

The Mariners have Thursday off
before facing the Cleveland Guardians.
The Mariners need to make s couple moves before this ends it for them.
Go M's. 


Mariners Continue To Struggle On Road

The Mariners offense and bullpen
continue to show their inconstancy
on the road.

Tuesday Arizona 10 Seattle 3

Against the Diamondbacks the
Mariners are raking up hits but
they are leaving runners on base.
They had 12 hits Tuesday and
that's how many runners left on
base as well.

The Diamondbacks scored two
runs off of Logan Evans in the
third inning followed by one 
each in the fourth and fifth.
Evans being a rookie is going
to look good at times and not
so at other times. When Logan
Gilbert is set to start again which
should be soon Evans will likely
be sent back to Tacoma. Besides
the four runs he gave up seven hits.

The Mariners scored two runs in
the sixth to make things interesting
on solo home runs by Randy Arozarena
and Rowdy Tellez. The trouble 
happened in the bottom of the
sixth  when reliever Trent Thornton
gave up five hits and five runs 
along with two walks. Three of the
runs came on a homer.

This was Thornton's second relief
appearance since coming off the
injured list. To be honest he hasn't
had a good season at all and how
long will the Mariners go with him.
Right now Thornton is good when
the Mariners are a ways ahead or
behind. If he continues this way
might as well let him loose.

Outside of Andre Munoz and Matt
Brash the rest of the bullpen has
been inconsistent in much the 
way of the offense. We were hoping
this road trip would put the Mariners
back to their winning ways.

Wednesday the final game at
Arizona is in the afternoon. We
hope that the Mariners can win
one game in the series.

The Mariners return home on
Friday to play the Cleveland Guardians.
It won't be an easy task for the
Mariners to get back to winning ways.
Go M's



Mariners Lose In Extra Innings
