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

The Seattle Mariners for the first

eight innings were shutout than 

scored four runs in the ninth inning

to put the game into extra innings.

Donovan Solano and Cole Young

each drove in a run than Dominic

Canzone hit a two-run homer.

Earlier Canzone called up was a

pinch hitter. 

Diamondbacks first baseman

Josh Naylor hit a grandslam

homer run off Mariners reliever

Carlos  Vargas to win.

Final Arizona 8  Mariners 4.

Vargas was the Mariners fifth

reliever after Emerson Hancock 

Hancock started going five 

innings giving up two runs.

The Mariners will see if they

can even the series Tuesday

night. It will help if the M's

can drive in runs besides

getting hits.  Will they make

a trade soon or see if the

current guys start getting

it done. 

Logan Evans will start Tuesday

as Bryce Miller goes back on 

the injured since cortisone shot

didn't help his arm. We should

see Logan Gilbert soon and before

Miller returns. Hard to know when

Bryce will return. 

 

Washington Huskies Men's Basketball Adds Another Player

The Washington Huskies men's basketball team continues to

have a successful offseason with

the transfer portal.

Last season under first year head

Danny Sprinkle the Huskies ended

up ending last place in the first

year in the Big Ten as well. The

trouble wasn't the starting lineup

however getting little action

from the bench consistently.

Frushmen Zoom Diallo started

some as well coming off the

bench. 

The Huskies players either graduated

or went into the transfer portal besides

Zoom Diallo and center Franck Kepnang who spent another season

being injured. Most likely he will be

the backup center to the new guy

Latham Somerville. Thing about

Kepnang he has been the heart of

the Huskies though he has been

hurt most of his time at Washington.

On Friday Desmond Claude announced

he is coming to Washington from

the USC Trojans. He is the second

player coming from the Trojans.

The first was former Huskies guard Wesley Yates III  who went to USC

last year after being hurt his freshman

year under former coach Mike Hopkins.

Zoom Diallo is expected to be Yates

backup however we could see them

play together too.

Desmond Claude spent one year

at USC averaging 15.8 points a

game. He played two years st Xavier 

before USC. At Washington Claude

is expected to start at small forward.

The Huskies don't necessarily need

him to score the same this coming

season however being a double

figures scorer will certainly help.

Another area was interested in

Claude to and that was Gonzaga.

Bryson Tucker who earlier transferred

over from Indiana is expected to

be Claude's backup. He average

5.4 points a game off the bench

for Indiana last season as a freshman.

If he could add another couple points

to his average for the Huskies that. would be good. He averaged almost 

three rebounds a game so another

one or two plus increase of minutes

will help the Huskies too.

The Seattle Mariners announced they

designated outfielder Leody Taveras.

They felt he didn't do what they hoped

since coming over from the Texas

Rangers. Mariners called up Dominic Canzone from Tacoma. He has been

hitting hard with the Rainiers. He likely

be in the lineup against right handed

pitchers while Dylan Moore most

likely start against lefties. How this 

works we will see. Luke Raley is

expected back shortly to after 

rehab assignment. How well Canzone

plays will determine whether Raley

will play right field or first base.

Raley can play center field if the

Mariners need to give Julio Rodriguez

a game off as well.

Over the next  couple weeks whether

the Mariners  need to make a trade for a position player as well.  Harry Ford has  played some at dh when not 

catching so he could come up to

the Mariners too. Stay tuned. 

position player.

Mariners End Skid

Sunday afternoon the Mariners

ended a five game losing streak

and avoided a second sweep

in a row. Final M's 3 Angels 2

The Mariners won only by one

run which is better than losing

for sure. We saw the old George

Kirby for sure and hope he keeps

it going. For the Mariners to

make the playoffs that is a must.

Kirby went seven innings so gave

most of the bullpen the day off.

He didn't walk a batter and a 

career high 14 strikeouts. Matt

Brash pitched the 8th striking out

two and hasn't given up a run in

the time be hss been back. Munoz

was back to his old self

 He walked the first batter of the

inning and struck out two including

ending the game against Mike

Trout. 

The Mariners though only scored

three hits they did have eleven hits

which at least is a good sign. The

Mariners now off to face Arizona

for three. Now we hope the Mariners

can take at least two out of three.

Oh by the way  Cal Raleigh was able

to get a day off and didn't use him

as a pinch hitter either. 

Monday against the Diamondbacks

Emerson Hancock will start for the

Mariners. If he pitches like his last

outing it will give the Mariners a

good shot to win. Go team.

Another Loss To The Angels

Right now the Seattle Mariners 

are not playing very good ball.

The lost Saturday evening to

the Angels 8-6.

This was another game when 

they scored first and couldn't

hold the lead. It was different 

since two errors cost them two

runs. The Mariners had a couple 

times where they couldn't drive

in runs with two outs either.

It isn't an easy task however they

do need to on occasion to win.

Somehow they will need to find

a way to win tomorrow. The Angels

hadn't been a good team at home

in the same fashion and had just

got off a road. The Mariners having

played well on the road this is was

a good time to win. 

In major league baseball teams

usually make trades right before

the July deadline. It seems they

need to do sooner than  wait. 

Luke Raley is expected back soon

so a  change will happen than.

Who will go is  anyone's guess.

Bring up Harry Ford would be a

good idea too. Just like Cole

Young the youngsters who seem

ready should be brought up to

see what they can do. We hope

the Mariners can change things

around. Go M's. 

Angels Edge Mariners

Friday night the LA Angels edged

the  Seattle Mariners 5-4.

Bryce Miller looked better in

his second outing after being 

on the injured list. He went  

five innings however gave up

all five runs. Location was

the trouble when the Angels

scored.

 

What was disappointing the

Mariners scored one run in

the third followed by two 

in the 4th and and another

in the 5th. The trouble was

Miller couldn't hold back

the Angels in those three

innings either. The Angels

scored one in the 3rd followed

by two in the 4th and 5th.

Rowdy Tellez had a sacrifice

fly with the based loaded. 

He missed a grand slam 

by a foot or two. In most

major league parks it would

have been  a home run and

a Mariners win.

Both bullpens did a good job

allowing no runs. It is tough

when a team is a position 

losing recently. Now we hope

the Mariners can turn things

around. We hope another

bat comes in a trade soon

along with a reliever. Now 

we see if the Mariners can 

bounce back. Most teams

do go through losing streaks

however we hope not many.

It is to tough when the M's

have a few holes in the

lineup. Go M's. 

Seattle On The Road

The Seattle Mariners are now back on.

the road for three games against the

Angels and Diamondbacks before 

back home.

The Angels are much like the

Nationals and Orioles who they

just played being inconsistent.

The Angels though play even

worse at home than the Mariners.

They are 10-18 on the season

in Anaheim. Playing better on

the road like the Mariners.

The Diamondbacks are just

like the Mariners just slightly

bad at home and better on the

road. It would be nice for the

Mariners to sweep the Angels

like they did the Padres earlier

on the road. I would take two

out of three against both.

Winning Friday night will be

the key. Always winning an 

opening series  is good to

happen. Bryce Miller starts

and making his second start

since coming off the injured

list. The first start he went

only four innings so it would

be nice if he can go five at

least this time..

The Mariners need to score

some runs early in the game

would help a lot. Also that

Cal Raleigh isn't the only

one producing runs. Seeing

Julio continue getting better

at the plate. Important for

him getting hits with runners

on base and getting on base

when he is up early in the

game. 

So.let's see a good road trip

that can lead to a good home

stand in a week. Go M's.

Mariners Swept

As you can imagine the series against

the Baltimore Orioles at home was a

sure disappointment.

On Thursday afternoon the Mariners lost 4-3 in another one run game.

It wasn't much different than game two.

Cal Raleigh was the offense once again. He drove in Julio in the third inning after the Orioles had score

in top half of the inning.

Cal Raleigh hit a two-run homer in

the bottom of the fifth to take the

lead. It didn't last long since the

Orioles hit a two-run homer followed 

by a solo shot in the sixth..  After

that neither scored a run. 

This is another series the Mariners

should have won at home. The

Mariners seem to play at the level

of their competition.  

The hardest thing for the

manager to do is knowing when

to take out the starting pitcher

and today was one of them.

What is difficult to is to make out 

the line up as well.

Now the Mariners see if they can

stop the bleading and beat the

Angels in Anaheim. Until next .

.

Mariners Another Loss At Home

The Mariners continue to struggle

at home losing to the Orioles 3-2.

The Mariners now have a 16-16

record st T-Mobile Park while

16-12 on the road.

Things wouldn't be so bad if

they didn't lose against the

Orioles and the Nationals

who are both having poor 

seasons just like they did

against Toronto as well.

The other trouble they continue

having trouble against left handed

pitching as well. The Mariners need

to add another bat at  first base

at least or if another infield spot

Dylan Moore could play first base

or bring up Tyler Locklear. 

The Mariners will look to make

a trade before the deadline at 

the end of July. We hope sooner

then later.

Emerson Hancock pitched good

going five and two-third innings

giving up a solo home run before

leaving. The bullpen gave up

the other two runs in the 7th.

This still comes down to the

offense not scoring earlier or

getting a key hit later in the

game. Rowdy Tellez after

pitch hitting earlier for Solano

ended the game with a fly out

to right field. He just didn't

have enough to get a double

off the fence or a home run.

The Mariners had two runners

on base so both likely would

have won the game.

Thursday afternoon the Mariners

will try to avoid a sweep to the

Orioles with Bryan Woo on the

mound for the Mariners. Also

helps the Orioles are starting

a right hander.

The Mariners head to take

in the Los Angeles Angels

in Anaheim for three game

series followed by another

at Arizona. We hope for

favorable playing both teams.

The Angels come back from

playing the Red Sox in Boston.

We hope that with having a

long flight will help the Mariners

at least on Friday. Of course

winning Thursday will help too.

Go M's.

George Kirby Struggles Again

George Kirby plus the Mariners offense

struggled again in the opening of the

series against the Baltimore Orioles.

This is Kirby's third start and loss

on the season. He threw a lot of

pitches in the first inning and 

fortunately gave up one run. He

settled down going five innings

and giving up two runs. 

Final Orioles 5 Mariners 1

The Mariners offense struggled

in May after having a good April.

June has started the same. 

The offense doesn't  have to

be as good as April however

better than May. 

The Mariners are struggling 

at home especially against 

weaker teams. We hope they

can rebound against the Orioles.

Emerson Hancock starts Wednesday

followed by Bryan Woo on

Thursday afternoon for the Mariners.

Go M's. 

Washington Huskies Football

The Washington Huskies football is about to get into summer practice 

to get ready for upcoming season.

On the offensive side they have 

three transfers in expected to start.

One is Omari Evans to go with 

Denzel Boston and Kevin Green

Jr. at wide receivers. Carver Willis

at left tackle. Geirean Hatchet 

returns at right guard next to his

brother Landen at center. The 

Huskies have inexperience as

backups along the offensive line.

The Huskies have two new players

each on the defensive line, linebackers

and defensive backfield through the

transfer portal as well. 

We will see this coming season

whether they match up with the

rest of the Big Ten.  Go Dawgs!

Mariners Win Pitching Duel

Sunday was another great matchup

between the Mariners and the Twins.

The Mariners could have won all

three games or lost all three that

is how tight it was again.

Luis Castillo went six innings 

shutting out the Twins on four

hits. At the end of six neither

team had scored.

In the 7th inning no other than Cal

Raleigh hit a home run to take the

lead. The Mariners only had one 

hit before the homer.

The score stayed until the 9th

when the Twins were able to

get a run  off of Munoz once

again. In the bottom of the

ninith  Julio got on a infied

hit then after Cal struck out

he stole second and went

to third on a throwing error.

Randy Arozarena got a hit

to score Julio and the  ball

game.

This series for sure felt like

a playoff..We will likely see 

moreike this but we  hope

for some easy ones too.

The Houston Astros won 

Sunday over Tampa Bay 

1-0.  The one run was in

the first inning. Talk about

another close one. The 

Mariners are a half game

ahead of them.

The Rangers are four behind

the Mariners while the Angels

are six and the A's the .

The Mariners have Monday off. 

Mariners Win Extra Innings

The Seattle Mariners snapped their

losing streak playing in third straight

extra innings.

Saturday night the Mariners finally

able to win again in extra innings.

Mariners number two prospect Cole Young was called up making his

major league début. 

Young not only got his first major league hit in the game he drove

in the winning run on a fielder's

choice in the 11th inning. I expect

most players in their debut don't

do this in their first game.

Young will be playing second base

for the most part and we hope for

many years ahead. Leody Taveras

layed down a bunt to move Mitch

Garver over to third. Miles Mastro-buino pinch run for him.  Young a left handed hitter pulled the ball to first

base and the Twins were unable to

get Miles at the plate. 

Mastrobuino and Dylan Moore will 

be bench players now for the most

part for the next few weeks anyway.

Luke Raley is expected to go out 

on a rehab assignment this coming

week so should see him back in

the next  week or so. It will be

interesting move they will make 

than. 

Cal Raleigh and JP each hit two-run

homers to put the Mariners in 

position for the win.

Bryce Miller came off the injured 

list to start the game. He went

four innings. He said in post game

that his arm stiffs up when the

temperature goes colder. Most

likely see him go as long as he

can over his next several starts.

Luis Castillo goes Saturday 

afternoon to see the Mariners

can win the series. He has

been on and off in last several

starts. The Mariners have 

Monday off before playing

the Baltimore Orioles for 

three beginning Tuesday.

Mariners Different Team Same Results

Friday night the Seattle Mariners 

faced the Minnesota Twins at

home. The results turned out

the same.

Going late into the game it

was another outstanding 

pitching match up. Bryan

Woo was able to go into

the seventh. He surrendered

his third run of the game so

Matt Brash came in with

two outs and got the third

out he didn't return in the

eighth.

The bottom of the 8th Cal

Raleigh hit is 21st home

run of the season  to put

the Mariners up 6-3. It

looked like  a sure win.

Andre Munoz came in the

gsme so we thought here

we go. Unfortunately for

the first time of the season

he was hit for more than

one in a game. The Twins

scored two runs to come

within one run. Munoz

still had the chance with

two outs to save however

gave up a solo home run.

The Mariners weren't able 

to score in the bottom of the

ninth. 

Here is the tenth. Same as

Thursday night the Mariners

were touched for several

runs. The Twins hit a two-run

homer with the runner on base

in extra innings. The Twins 

loaded the bases with two.

The Mariners had a chance 

if they could get that last out.

The hitter for the Twins hit

the ball up the middle hard

however Dylan Moore couldn't

field the play cleanly so two

more runs were scored. Again

added another two runs. Final

Twins 12 Mariners 6

Once in a great moon Munoz

will be hit like on Friday night.

The Mariners show they need

a reliever who can pitch in

extra innings. This was the

first gsme Matt Bray had 

pitched in two straight games.

He likely won't pitch Saturday

of Sunday. 

The Mariners need to make a

trade or find a reliable reliever

from the minor leagues. Also

another beat or two would be

good idea. Luke Raley is expected

to do a rehab assignment with

Tacoma.  Cole Young made two

plate appearances before being

taken out. Talk online is he will

be called up to the Mariners and

it makes sense. Most likely Leo

Rivas will be sent down. He hasn't

played a lot lately.

In Tacoma's game Harry Ford was

at dh instead of catching. He had

three hits and we could see him

soon and maybe this weekend.

Trent Thorton made a rehab assignment for the Rainiers too.

We could see him back in the

bullpen too. Though he hasn't

had a great season before going

on the injured list he would be

an added plus though not the

total answer. He went one inning

and struck out too. Troy Taylor 

who is trying to make his way

back finished the game for the

Rainiers going one inning walking

one and striking out three.

We will see whether Young and

Ford be up. Saturday game is

late afternoon as it is on Fox TV.

Go M's. 

Mariners Blasted In Extra Inning

Emerson Hancock pitched well

for five innings giving up no

runs. In the sixth inning he

walked a couple batters. He

did get one out in the process.

The Washington Nationals again

went with an all left handed

hitting lineup so they brought

in Gabe Speier the lefty however

he wasn't able to hold it and

gave up a double scoring two 

runs.

The Mariners bottom of batting

order came through tying the

game in the seventh. Andre Munoz

made appearance in the ninth

inning with tie score and did

his usual good deed. The best

reliever in baseball right now.

Collin Snider pitched the 10th

and got lit up. He gave up

seven runs including a three

run homer and that was the

ball game. The Mariners did

score a single run in the bottom

of the 10th. Nationals 9-3 win.

Logan Gilbert made his first

rehab assignment going a

couple innings for the Tacoma

Rainiers. How many he has

we will see.

The Mariners now take on the

Minnesota Twins over the 

weekend. Bryan Woo starts

for the Mariners who is having

an outstanding season. Go.M's

Mariners What Day Makes A Difference

On Tuesday the Mariners took care

of the Nationals easily.

Wednesday the Nationals took

care of the Mariners winning  9-0.

George Kirby made his second

appearance of the season.

He went five innings giving up six runs including three solo  home runs.

Also walked two and struck out

four.  We do hope he turns things

around in his next start.

Mariners only had five hits with

the no runs. We hope Thursday

night the Mariners can win

the series. The Mariners will

be taking on the Minnesota

Twins over the weekend. The

Twins are tied with Cleveland

in second place in the American

League Central.They haven't

played well on the road   See

What happens. Go M's.

More Help For The Mariners

Logan Gilbert is expected to go on

rehab assignment real soon and

Bryce Miller expected back as well.

The Mariners are expected to stay

with a five man rotation. Though

he belongs Logan Evans will likely

go back to Tacoma. Emerson

Hancock I believe should go to the

bullpen for long relief. He could

come in for any of the starters

early if they get in trouble or

at least go two innings or longer.

This would help out the other

seven in the bullpen and not

continue bringing up relievers

from Tacoma.

The Mariners need help in the

in the infield. News is Like Raley

is expected to go on rehab assign-ment next week. Be interesting to

see whose spot he take. He can

play some outfield as well as 

first base. The dh spot is filled

right now. 

Cole Young continues hitting

well at Tacoma so he should

come up in June. This would

put Dylan Moore in better place

moving around.  He played

well Tuesday however be good

to give him a day or two on the

bench when he isn't hitting as

well and use him off the bench.

Whose spot would Young take?

I like to see Leo Rivas stick

however they aren't playing him 

much. Stay tuned to let you know

how other prospects are doing.

Go M's

Evans Takes Down Nationals

Tuesday night the Mariners started

rookie pitcher Logan Evans against

Washington Nationals. He had to 

face all left handed bats which

doesn't happen. Evans made it

look easy going eight innings.

The longest game he has pitched

as a professional pitcher. Evans

never had pitched seven innings

before and he threw 88. He could

have gone out for the ninth.

The Mariners started out scoring

three runs in the first inning with

Julio and Cal hitting back home

runs. The only blemish Evans had

was giving up a home run in the

fourth inning. 

Cal had another solo home run

in the fifth inning. We were hoping

he would hit three on the night

however didn't happen. The M's

scored three more in the sixth

and two in the eighth.

Julio and Dylan Moore had three

hits on the night while Cal and

Ben Williamson had two. Evans 

gave up four hits while walking

one and striking out four. He 

is now 3-1 on the season.

Final Mariners 9 Nationals 1

Seahawks Defensive Backs

Most of the time the Seahawks

will go with five defensive backs.

This means three defensive lineman

and three linebackers most of the

time.

Devon Witherspoon going into

his third season and the best

defensive back is listed at

nickel back however we will

see him all over the field.

It will all come down to a

running or passing play.

Damarion Williams is listed

as the backup at nickel back.

Won't see him in for Witherspoon

very often except for a breather.

If he is in Witherspoon will likely

be in at the same time.

Josh Jobe is listed as the starter

at left cornerback. Last season

he played ten games for the

Seahawks where he had 37 tackles

and one interception. The Seahawks

resigned him during the offseason.

Nehemiah Pritchett a fifth round

pick last season is his backup. 

He to played in ten games last

season.

Riq Woolen a fifth round in 2022

is the right cornerback for the

time being. He had an outstanding

season as a rookie however he

has slumped the last two years.

For him to continue on the team

he will have to play more like

his rookie season. 

Shemar Jean-Charles was signed

during the offseason by the

Seahawks. Last season he played

nine games for the New Orleans

Saints. He started last season

on the Saints practice squad.

He is listed as Woolen's backup.

Julian Love is the starter at

strong safety. This will be his

third season in Seattle. Last

season he had 109 tackles

with two forced fumbles and

three interceptions. Newcomer

and number two round draft

pick Nick Emmanwori  is listed

as his backup. Last season the

Seahawks sometimes went with

three safeties in the game at 

the same time so we could see

both in the game together.

Coby Bryant a fourth round pick

in 2022 a former cornerback

is the free safety. He played

every game last season for

the Seahawks. Bryant had 

73 tackles with one forced 

fumble and three interceptions.

If the Seahawks did go with

three safeties he could move

over to the traditional cornerback

spot or the nickel. 

Jerrick Reed ll a sixth round pick

in 2023 is Coby's backup. He

missed much of last season 

with an injury. Was able to

return for the last five games.

We wish him a healthy 2025

season.

That is it for the look at both the

offensive and defenses of the

Seahawks.

Special teams Michael Dickson 

returns as punter as does field

goal kicker and Chris Stoll as 

long snapper.

Rookie Tory Horton is listed as

punt returner and Kenny McIntosh

as kick off returner. Both could

change depending whether they

both make the team or not.

We will do more on any more

news on the Seahawks heading

into preseason. Go Hawks!

Houston Astros Walkoff

The Mariners were not able to

beat the Houston Astros on

Sunday afternoon to win the 

road game so lost the series.

Good thing they took six of

ten on this road trip. Most of 

the time we will take it.

Final Houston 5 Mariners 3

The Astros hit a walk off home

run in the bottom of the ninth.

Andre Munoz didn't pitch the

 ninth inning because of the 

tie. My opinion the Mariners 

do not have a reliever who

could pitch in this circumstance

unless putting Matt Brash in.

No one else has shown they can

do well in tge ninth inning. 

Now the Mariners come back home.

The Mariners have Monday off 

and take on thr Washington Nationals.

It is interesting thst they don't play

on a holiday. Go M's.

Errors Cost Mariners

Saturday afternoon the Mariners

lost to the Astros 2-1.

Bryan Woo continues to pitch

well and able to go six innings

at least every start. The M's

had two errors early on

and that is how the Astros

scored.

The Mariners are averaging 

over five runs a game unfortunately

unable to do so on Saturday.

The starting pitching is going to

be healthy soon and the bullpen

is doing better as well.

The Mariners are the best team

in the AL West while the rest

go up and down. We don't know

whether the Mariners can continue

their winning ways though if they

do should win the division and

anything can happen in the playoffs.

The Mariners continue winning

at the same pace even with a

few losing streaks they should 

win. The key is to fix the holes 

they still have. Go M's.

Mariners Win Late Again

Friday night looked a lot like most of

the Mariners wins on the season.

The Houston Astros were leading

3-2 heading into the seventh inning.

Julio Rodriguez hit a double to

drive in JP Crawford who had two

hits on the night. Cal came up

and hit a two-run homer and that

was it. 

Earlier Traveras had a home run in

the third inning. He is getting hot

having three hits on the night.

Miles Mastrobuino had a home run 

in the fifth. He was playing second

base. I expect he will be at third

on Saturday or Sunday giving 

Williamson a day off.

Emerson Hancock went six innings

giving up the three runs on  nine hits.

He had eight groundouts to keep

the infield busy. Matt Brash pitched

the 7th followed by Vargas in the

eighth. Munoz did his thing in the.9th. 

Now has 17 saves.

The Mariners have a Saturday 

afternoon game in Houston

with Bryan Woo on the mound.

Hope to continue seeing good 

things from him. Go M's.

Seahawks Linebackers

The Seahawks have listed four

linebackers on the depth chart.

Most likely they will be playing 

three often and occasion four.

The outside linebackers these

days are called edge rushers too.

The two first strings are Demarcus

Lawrence who thr Seahawks 

signed as a free agent and Uchenna

Nwosu. Lawrence played last year

for the Cowboys. Derrick Hall who

will be coming into his third year

is his backup. Boys Mafe will be

Nwosu backup. 

At the inside linebacker spot are 

Ernest Jones IV at middle linebacker

who made a big difference after

being traded from Tennessee and

Tyrice Knight at the weakside linebacker. Knight was a fourth

round pick who played more when

the Seahawks released the other

inside linebackers when Jones 

came aboard. Drake Thomas is

Knight's backup while Josh Ross

for Jones. Both will see a lot of

time on special teams. 

Next time we will look at the

defensive backs. Generally

they go with five in the game.

Go Hawks!

Mariners Lose In Kirby's First Start

Thursday night was the return and

first start of this season for George

Kirby.  He had made three rehab assignments at triple A  Tacoma

so Mariners were hoping for better.

Kirby pitched well first two innings

however gave up two in the third

and three more in the 4th. Kirby

was taken out with two outs in the

4th. The Mariners pitching didn't get 

any better giving up nine runs total.

It didn't matter since the Mariners 

only scored two. 

Being a four game series we hope

the Mariners bounce back on Friday.

Emerson Hancock is scheduled

to pitch. For now Kirby is going

to pitch every six days. How that

works with the others we will

find out.  Bryce Miller is expected

back next week. Logan Gilbert is

throwing too. He is expected to

make a few rehab assignments.

Both Logan Evans and Emerson

Hancock look to be capable pitchers

so what the Mariners do when Miller

and Gilbert are in the rotation things

will be interesting. Stay tuned and

go M's. 

Home Runs Help Out Mariners Again

Wednesday afternoon game was

questionable who would win but

the Mariners pulled it out like

they have often all season.

Julio Rodriguez got things going

in the first inning with a three run

homer. He is starting to hit home

runs more frequently.

Cal Raleigh again had a home run.

The question is when he won't

have one. It happened in the 6th

to tie after the White Sox tied

and took the lead in the fourth.

Logan Evans looked good 

besides giving up three home

runs.He was able to go six

innings. 

Again the bullpen did a good job

giving up two hits and a walk overgs three innings and an unearned run.

Again Munoz recorded the save.

Leody Taveras hit a two-run homer

to seal the win in the eighth inning.

It was his first home run since

coming to the Mariners. Taveras

who had struggled at the plate

recently after getting off to a

good start had two hits on the

day.

The Mariners now go Houston

to take on the Astros for four

games. The Astros lost Wednesday

to the Rays. Both them and the

Rangers are three and a half games

behind the Mariners. Playing a

four game series it would be nice

if the Mariners can split the series.

George Kirby is  going to start his 

first game of the season on Thursday.

He will be followed by Emerson Hancock, Bryan Woo and Luis

Castillo. Let's see how the M's do.

Mariners Shut Out Tuesday

The Mariners used the back end

of their bullpen on Tuesday instead

of using a starter however the

hitting wasn't there.

The Mariners were down 1-0

into the eighth inning. They 

got runners on first and 

second before loading the bases.

Julio came up with the bases

loaded like he did on Monday.

In fact he faced the same

reliever as Monday. This time

he flied out.

The Mariners had opportunities

to at least tie the game before

Julio came to the plate. What

I didn't like was the Mariners 

used three pinch hitters in the 

inning. Not right in a row though.

The Mariners are not a good 

pinch hitting team. I don't have

a problem using one in the

game. The odds are against

them in the first place anyway.

I don't care the guy who started

hits from the same side of the

plate as the pitcher. 

The final White Sox 1 M's 0

They have a day game weather

permitting. Logan Evans is 

expected to start. Go M's

Seattle Seahawks Defensive Line

The starters on the defensive

line will stay the same as last

season. 

Leonard Williams had a great

season in 2024 and the Seahawks

hope the same in 2025. Williams

is listed as defensive end. Last

years first round pick Byron Murphy ll

didn't have the season as expected

however everyone expect this coming

season will be good. He is listed

as the nose tackle. Both Williams

and Murphy are expected to move

around on the line. One could be

on the inside while the other on

the outside and switch spots.

There will be series where they

won't be in at the same time where

moving around be more expected.

Jarran Reed will be at defensive

tackle so he likely stay same spot

however could change to.

Mike Morris is listed as Williams

backup at defensive end. He

played in 15 games last season.

A fifth round pick in 2023 will

likely see on the outside when

Williams goes inside. Don't

see Williams taking much time

off. Most likely for a breather.

Morris will most likely be in

on passing downs.

The Seahawks brought back

Jonathan Hankins at nose

tackle. He played in all 17

games for the Seahawks 

last season after coming 

over from the Cowboys.

Rylie Mills fifth round pick

out of Notre Same is expected

to be the backup to Reed.

We are sure his rookie year

will be a learning experience.

Next up we will look at the

Seahawks linebackers.

Go team.

Mariners Win Opener In Chicago

Mariners continue with good

pitching in close games until

late when the bats do their job.

Jorge Polanco drove in a Ben

Williamson with a single in the

third inning making it 1-0.

The score stayed that until

the eighth inning when Julio

hit a grand slam home run to

put it out of reach sort of.

Luis Castillo pitched well 

giving up only three his

and no runs. What made it 

real good was he didn't walk

a batter either. Good to see

that. 

Ben Williamson scored on

Julio's home run. In fact he

had three hits on the day.

Now maybe he will hit in

a few more games.

The Mariners brought in

Troy Taylor in the ninth

after Collin Snider did

the 8th. He continues

to struggle giving up

two hits and two walks.

The White Sox got a run

on a hit with the bases

loaded and two outs.

Manager Dan Wilson out

and brought in Andre Munoz

who struck out the last

batter. It looks like Taylor

should go back to Tacoma

to straighten things out. We

will see. 

Casey Lawrence is expected to

start game two on Tuesday

however it is expected to rain 

all day so who knows whether

the game will be player but

since the Mariners have a

day game on Wednesday before

going to Texas they will try to

play it if possible.

The Mariners are now two and a half

games ahead of the Astros who

took two out of three from the

Rangers who are three back over

the weekend. The Astros beat

the Rays Monday 4-3.

Go M's

Mariners Sweep Padres

After having a losing record

in last home series the M's

pitching was outstanding 

along with good hitting.

The final Sunday  Mariners

6-1.  Bryan Woo went seven

innings giving up a home

run early to Fernando Tati's

Jr..  Randy Arozarena tied

with a home run in the 4th

inning and added two more.

Mariners knocked out starter

Michael King in the sixth 

inning when Mitch Garver 

singled in Arozarena. Final

two runs in the ninth driven

by Cal and Julio.

Now the Mariners are off

to Chicago to face the

White Sox for three. Go M's.

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!
