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.

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.

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.


Sunday, June 15, 2025

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.




Saturday, June 7, 2025

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. 

Friday, June 6, 2025

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.

Tuesday, June 3, 2025

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. 


Monday, June 2, 2025

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.

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.
