Mariners Beat Angels Again

The Mariners beat the Angels
9-3 to have a minisweep and
win the seventh series in a roe.

The Mariners offense is still
doing the job getting runs early
and having a big inning even
late in the game.

The Angels scored a run in the
first inning than the Mariners 
scored two in the second. The
game was tied at 3-3 until the
seventh when the Mariners
scored six. Arozarena  had a
solo home run in the second.

The Mariners played small
ball in the seventh. Leo Rivas
had a big game and getting
two hits in the seventh. He led
off with a single then Samad
Taylor in his first start after
being called up put down a
bunt single. JP had a single to
drive in them both. Julio had
a double to drive in JP. Cal
had a single to drive in Julio.
Arozarena had another hit.
After a couple outs Rivas
had his second hit of the
inning hitting hard off the
first baseman scoring scoring
Cal and Arozarena.

Though Williamson didn't
get a hit the bottom of the
order has done done a fine
job in recent games. 

Emerson Hancock started 
and went six innings though
not as good as his previous
start he kept the team in
the game giving up the
three runs on nine hits. The
three relievers who went
shut the door only allowing
one hit and a walk in the
three innings of pitching.

This game allowed Andre 
Munoz not having to pitch.
The Mariners have Thursday
off so if the Mariners have 
to use Munoz on Friday in
Texas he has the two days 
off.

The Mariners brought up
outfielder Rhylan Thomas
from Tacoma. Luke Raley
is expected to miss six
weeks. Thomas is a left
handed bat so we will
see him and Taylor a 
righty we should see these
two to platoon at least until
Dylan Moore comes off the
injured list next week. 

Bryan Woo is scheduled to
start on Friday against the
Rangers. Luis Castillo most
likely on Saturday and Logan
Evans on Sunday. Woo's last
start was last Thursday so
a lot of rest. Castillo and 
Evans will be a week apart.
The day off Monday and
this Thursday giving the
starters good rest. Help 
them all. Go M's.

Another Win For Mariners

The last six series the Mariners
lost the first game than won
the two remaining games in 
each.

Tuesday night the Mariners beat
the LA Angels 5-3.

Bryce Miller pitched five innings.
He gave up only two hits and walked
five. He didn't give up a run.
Collin Snider came in the sixth
and gave up a hit. Carlos Vargas 
gave up a run in the seventh.
Gabe Speier gave up two runs
in the eighth. Second outing 
giving up runs after none before
then. I hope he doesn't have an
injury however it wouldn't surprise
me. Again Andre Munoz took care
of the ninth.

Jorge Polanco who was player of
the week keeps his hot hitting.
He had two home runs and drove
in all five runs. We hope when he 
cools down he still continues
hitting.

The Mariners and Angels play
Wednesday afternoon in second
of a two game series. Emerson
Hancock will start. Go M's.

Luke Raley hurt himself  in
batting cage so he missed
the game. We will have to
see whether he will have to
go on the injured list or be
day to day. So Wednesday
a day game won't be surprised
if he is out for that game as a
caution..

Huskies Men's Basketball Transfer Portal News and More

Tge Washington Huskies men's basketball team took a hit on this
coming season recruiting class.
Incoming freshman and McDonald
All-American power forward Niko
Bundalo has decided to enter the 
transfer portal after committing
to the Huskies back last November.

Probably the main reason is the
Huskies signed two power forward a
since his commitment. He may feel
that he won't get the playing time
he anticated when signing with the
Huskies. This could be true and his
agent or coaches may have spoken
those words to him.

The NCAA needs to make some
rules in regarding to the transfer
portal and incoming freshmen
recruits.  I have mentioned before
that when a player leaves a team
they shouldn't be allowed to play
for a team in the same conference.
Schools should not go after players
as well. If the player seeks out a
school that makes sense. I believe
a player can only accept from one
school during the year. Other words
he can't change his mind. The only
exception is that the coach gets 
fired or leaves for another job. If 
the coach gets fired and is hired
elsewhere the player can follow to
that school. If the coach leaves
the player can to but not to the
school the coach goes to for a
year anyway. Those are not the
rules now but my opinion.

Tuesday Dylan Moore went on
the injured list for ten days for
a hip injury. The Mariners have 
brought up Samal Taylor from
triple A Tacoma. He most likely
play against lefties in right field
though he has played some 
infield as well. Miles Mastrobuioni
is the top utility player now though
he hits from the left side. He and
Leo Rivas will likely share second
base and he may play third base
against some righties. It looks
like Dylan won't be gone long
since retroactive to March 26.

The Mariners have a short series
having two games at home Tuesday
and Wednesday. The Mariners go
for three games beginning Friday 
At Texas Rangers then the A's at
Sacramento before coming back
home for two series against
Toronto and the New York Yankees.

Bryce Miller will start Tuesday nights
game against the Angel. Emerson
Hancock will start the second game
on Wednesday afternoon. 

Jorge Polanco was named player
of the week in the American League.
The Mariners are now in first place. 
Go M's.

Mariners Minor Leaguers

We have already seen a few of
the fruits of the fruits of the
minor leaguers because of
injuries to there major league 
players.

The Tacoma Rainiers are now
11-16 and 3-7 in their last ten
games. Logan Evans the top
pitcher for them made his
major league debut on Sunday
and recorded a victory.

Tyler Locklear has been hot
lately now hitting .333. The
first baseman could be called
up anytime if the position 
continues to be an issue.
Harry Ford is hitting .220.
It would be nice if his average
was higher which it could be
if he were playing more often.

Samad Taylor continues to hit
well at .321 and leads the Rainers
with five home runs. He mainly
is playing the outfield though
he can play the infield too.

Matt Brash continues his rehab
assignment at Tacoma. He has
pitched  in five games so far. The
Rainiers will be going on the
road this week after being at home
this last week. They will be playing
at Las Vegas. We see whether Brash
will go with the Rainers or be called
up to the Mariners. 

The Arkansas Travelers are at top
of their league with a record of
14-7.  Outfielder Jared Sundstrom
leads them with an average of
.294. They are not a home run 
hitting team as he leads with two.
Center fielder Billy Knight has
a .286 batting average and leads
with ten stolen bases.

In the pitching department Garrett
Hill has an era of 1.09 in four starts
and Adam Seminaries has 1.47
in same amount of starts. Neither
has pitched a lot of innings. The
strength is in the bullpen where
five have had outstanding seasons
so far with three not given up an
earned run yet.

The Everett Aqua Sox are still
at slow start with 8-13 record.
Top prospect Colt Emerson
is hitting .273. Still looking for
his first home run of the season.
Lazaro Montes is hitting .250
with five home runs and 14 RBIs.
He has 18 walks.

Last year's number one pick
Jurrangelo Cijntje has pitched
in six games with four starts.
Throwing both ways he has
pitched right handed primarily
in his four starts while throwing
left handed in his two relief
appearances. He has gone 17
innings total giving up ten hits 
with three being home runs.
He has walked 13 while striking
out 22. The opposing team
batting average is .167. He throws
around 96 miles an hour on average
from both sides.

Reliever Tyler Cleveland in seven
relief appearances hasn't given 
up a single earned run yet. He has
walked four while striking out
ten in 11.1 innings. The Mariners
are showing they have some good
relievers in the minor leagues.

The Modesto Nuts continue to
do well at low A class having a
15-6 record.

Second round pick from 2024
Ryan Sloan coming  out of high 
school has started three games.
He is being pitched carefully
going only 8.1 innings so far. 
He has four walks and 12 strike 
outs.

The Mariners number two 
shortstop prospect Felnin 
Celesten continues to do
well hitting .343. When 
Emerson moves up to
double A then Celesten will
move up to Everett. 

The Mariners have Monday
and Thursday off this week.
We will update this again 
next week.

Mariner Win Another Series

Tge Seattle Mariners win their sixth
series in a row. It hss been interesting since they lost the first game in a
series.

Final Mariners 7 Marlins 6

The Mariners got a big lead then
Trent Thornton gave up a three-run 
homer in the eight inning.  Not
sure why he has been pitching
that inning since has had trouble
giving up homers. He has an era
of 7.71 on the season. He did
the same in Boston.

Logan Evans went five  innings
in his major league debut giving
up two runs. Able to get the win.

Jorge Polanco continues to hit
having three hits. Cal hit another
homer run and JP Crawford hit
another key homer. 

The Mariners have Monday off
before facing the Angels on
Tuesday at home. Go M's


Seattle Seahawks Undrafted Free Agents

The Seattle Seahawks signed
eleven players after the draft 
was over as free agents. Five
on offense and six on defense.

None of the names are familiar
though a few from the Big Ten.
On offense they signed a running
back, wide receiver, tight end, center
and tackle. All positions they
drafted  except center. See how
much of a chance to make it.

On defense they signed three
edge rushers, a linebacker and
two cornerbacks. The best chance
is being on the practice squad
however one or two could make
the team though a long shot.

Unlike last season Carson Bruener
was the only  draft from the
 Huskies by the Pittsburgh Steelers
at linebacker. His best chance for
Bruener is on special teams. Kyle
Williams was the only Washington
State Cougar by the New England
Patriots at wide receiver in third
round.

A few Washington players who playedi
were drafted. Wide receiver Emeka
Egbuka from Ohio State and Steilacoom high school in the first
round by Tampa Bay. Josh Conerly Jr.
offensive lineman from Oregon was
drafted by Washington Commanders
in the first round.

JT Tuimoloau edge rusher from Ohio 
State and Eastside Catholic was🤗😉00 drafted by Indianapolis Colts  in the 
third round. 

That is it for lp

Mariners Shutout Marlins Easily

The Seattle Mariners took care of
the Marlins easily Saturday night.
Final Mariners 14  Msrlins 0

Thr game started out with Julio
and Polanco hitting back to back
home runs. By the time the first
Winning was over the Mariners had scored six runs. In the fourth 
inning Polanco hit his second
home run of the game. Later
on Mitch Garver pinch hit for
Cal And hit his first home run
with one run on base.

Rookie Ben Williamson and
Miles Mastrobuoni each had
two hits. Williamson drove in
four runs while Mastrobuoni
had three. I all the recent 
series where the Mariners 
came back after losing the 
first game we will see if
the Mariners can do it again.

Luis Castillo went six innings
giving up only one hit. He 
walked two and struck out
five batters. He looked much
better in this outing.Troy 
Taylor who was called up
pitched the seventh inning.
He gave up a hit and that
was it.He was followed by
Casey Legumina who gave 
up one hit. Much better than
his last. Tayler Saucedo who
came in the ninth to finish.

The Mariners have called up
Logan Evans to start on Sunday.
This will give the starters an 
addition days off. The Mariners
will have another day off on
.Monday. This will give the 😁
Mariners additional  time off.
Go M's.  


Day Three NFL Draft Seahawks

The Seahawks were busy along 
with success in this years draft.
The Seahawks moved around with
draft picks as well as a trade.

On Friday drafting Jalen Milroe
in the third round they traded
backup quarterback Sam Howell
to the Minnesota Viking for a fifth
round. It allowed them to pick
142 overall.The Vikings got the
Seahawks 172 overall in the fifth
round. It means Seahawks moved
up 30 spots. They picked Rylie Mills
defensive lineman from Notre Dame.

The Seahawks had a fourth round
pick that they traded to New England
for a fifth and seventh round pick.
End up trading the fifth round pick
to Cleveland for a fifth and six 
round pick. That fifth round pick
they got wide receiver Tory Horton
from  Colorado State. The Seahawks
could use him on kick and punt
returns. Another fifth round pick they
drafted from Alabama again tight
end Robbie Ouzts who might be
used at fullback.

The sixth round pick they used it
on guard Bryce Cabeldue out of
Kansas. The Seahawks had three
picks in the seventh round. First
was Damien Martinez running 
back from Miami. He played two 
years at Oregon State. The last two
were Mason Richman offensive 
tackle from Iowa  and Ricky White III
wide receiver from UNLV. We wish
all the guys the best. Go Hawks.

In baseball the Mariners put Logan
Gilbert on the 15 day injured list.
He won't throw a baseball for
two weeks. We will see who takes
his spot in the rotation. Possibly
George Kirby be back soon. This
makes the value of Emerson Hancock
even more valuable. They brought
up Troy Taylor and Tayler Saucedo
from triple A Tacoma. Go M's.

Mariners Lose Starter Gilbert and Seahawks Picks

The Seattle Mariners started a
three game series against the
Miami Marlins Friday Night.
Like the recent road trip they
lost the first game of the series
8-4.

Dylan Moore hit a home run  in 
the second for a 1-0 lead. Logan
Gilbert was looking good not
giving up a hit or a walk while 
striking out three in three innings.
He had to leave with injury to
his forearm. Not sure how long
he will be out. We hope George 
Kirby returns soon.

In the fifth inning Dylan Moore
had an error and the Marlins
scored six unearned runs. This
cost the Mariners the game.
Casey Lawrence who was 
brought up from Tacoma
came in for Gilbert. Been
a starter most of his career
went five innings. This saved
the Mariners bullpen despite
the loss. 

The Seahawks second pick 
in the second round was tight
end Elijah Arroyo from Miami.
He is considered a highbred
so we could see him play
fullback as well. In the 3rd
round they drafted quarterback
Jalen Milroe out of Alabama.
The first quarterback the
Seahawks have drafted since
they drafted Russell Wilson
in the third round too. The
Seahawks will look to develop
Milroe. This means the Seahawks
will carry three on the roster.

Saturday will be rounds four
through seven. They have 
on in the fouth, two in the
fifth and two in the seventh.
Wouldn't surprise me if
the Seahawks acquire  a
sixth round pick. Go Hawks!



Seahawks Make A Trade

The Seattle Seahawks moved up
in the draft trading a second and
a third round pick to Tennesse
Titans for their second round
pick which was the third in the
second round. The Seahawks
still have another second round
pick well as a third round. This
gives the Titans additional pick.

The Seahawks picked safety
 Nick Emmanwori out of South
Carolina. There was a thought 
the Mariners may draft him
in the first round. We could
look as though tge Seahawks
picked two first rounders.

Let you know who they pick 
later in the second and remain
third rounder. Go Hawks!

Thursday, April 24, 2025

The Seahawks Make First Round Pick

The Seahawks made their pick
at number 18. They selected
guard Grey Zabel out of North
Dakota State.

The Seahawks were looking
to draft the best player available
and the offensive line needs an
upgrade.

At North Dakota State Zabel
played some left tackle as well
as guard. On ESPN Nick Saban
said he could be an outstanding
center. We will see who else the
Seahawks will draft. On Friday 
they have two picks in round
two and three. We could see 
Zabel at center if they pick 
a guard who fits in..Go Hawks!



Mariners Win Series In Boston

The Mariners had a successful
road trip going 6-3 by beating
the Red Sox 4-3.

The Mariners scored two runs
in the first and second innings
and able to hold on. They continue
winning close games.

Mitch Garver who caught the
game hit a double in the first
inning scoring Dylan Moore
and Randy Arozarena who
walked three times in the game.
Garver's now hitting .214.
Though he has no home runs
and four RBIs is hitting .250
in the last seven games. Maybe
it is a good sign.

Alex Bergman who had a good
series against the Mariners hit
a home run off of Bryan Woo.
In the top of the second Dylan
Moore had a sacrifice fly to
score Ben Williamson and Julio
followed with a ground out
allowing Leo Rivas to score.

Bottom of the third Bergman
hit a single to drive in the 
Red Sox second. The score
stayed that way until the
eighth when Carlos Narvaez
hit a homer off of Gabe Speier
his first mistake on the season.
One mistake a month wouldn't
be bad for sure.

Bryan Woo had the second
quality start in a row for the
Mariners going six innings
giving up three hits and the
two runs. He only walked
one and struck out eight
on the day.

A surprise is the Mariners
hadn't had two quality starts
in a row since 2001 when
Jamie Moyer and Freddie
Garcia did it. With maybe
the best starting rotation
last year I would have thought
the Mariners may have done
it a few times. Surprise.

The Mariners are now 14-11.
They are a half game behind
the Rangers. The Rangers play
the A's tonight on the road. If
they lose the two teams will
be tied for first in the division.
The Astros don't play do they
will be a half game behind the
Mariners and maybe Rangers.

The Mariners will play a series
beginning on Friday at home
against the Miami Marlins.
Going into the game they
are 11-13. See if the Mariners 
can win another series. Go M's.

The first round of the NFL draft
begins Thursday evening. The 
second and third will be Friday.
Let you know it goes. Go Hawks!

Mariners Take Game Two In Boston

The Seattle Mariners beat
the Red Sox 8-5. The game
wasn't as close as the score
shows. Playing in Fenway Park
anything can happen. 

Emerson Hancock had his first
quality start of the season
and maybe his best in the majors.
Emerson gave up five hits, two
walks, seven strikeouts and
giving up two runs in six innings.

It was the bottom of the Mariners
batting order that got most of
the production. JP Crawford hit
a three-run homer in the fourth 
inning to put the Mariners up
4-0. Emerson gave up a run
in the bottom of the fourth and
fifth inning. It was nice he got
through the sixth easily.

Gabe Speier who has done well
all season pitched well in the
seventh inning. The Red Sox
got a three-run homer in the
8th by first baseman Triston
Casas who hit one as well on
Tuesday night.  Casey Legumina
was the Mariners pitcher who
gave up the home run. Fortunately
he survived after that. I know
decisions are not easily made
however in Fenway Park it might
be good to warm up someone.
It would hard one to stomach if 
the Red Sox had won.  Andre
Munoz pitched the ninth to get
another save.

Bryan Woo will start the final
game of the series. Regardless 
what happens the Mariners have
at least five wins on this road 
trip which is good. The game
will start in the morning in
Seattle.

Tomorrow night will be the
first round of the NFL draft.
The Seahawks have the 18th
pick so should have the pick
come in around 6:30 or so
Seattle time. A lot depends
whether they pick at 18 or
move up or down. 
Check you on Thursday.

Looking at Dylan Moore of Mariners

Dylan Moore has gotten off to a
good start hitting .300 on the season
as they are finishing up their 4th
week of the season. Only Jorge 
Polanco has done a better job. 

Dylan hasn't shown he can't hit
well over the full season either
as a utility or a starter. The M's
lost Ryan Bliss for most of the
rest of the season.

Now Dylan and Leo Rivas will
get most of the time at second
base. Luke Raley with the injury
keeping Victor Robles out for
some time as well. We shouldn't
expect back until after the all-star
break most likely. Raley will start
in right field against righties 
and some lefties. Dylan Moore 
will start against lefties that
Raley doesn't start. Moore is the
fourth outfielder and Miles
Mastrobuioni may play outfield
in occasion however he is a
left handed bat. He play more
at third base and second. 

The Mariners playing well right
now things won't change 
however in May things could 
change. It will come down
to how well second and first
base go. Ben Williamson 
should play a lot at third with
Mastrobuioni playing once
or twice a week. It comes 
down how well he hits.  I
could see him more at second.

First base has been troublesome
as far as hitting goes. Neither
Tellez or Solano have hit well.
Tellez had three home runs
in Toronto however that has
to continue as his batting average
is below .100. Solano has been
the same but has no power.
Both of them have contracts 
where they could be released
at anytime. Tyler Locklear
who is hitting well in Tacoma
so the Mariners could bring
him up in place of Solano since
both are right handed bats. 
Locklear has more power too.
He could hit a lot of doubles
besides home runs.

Second base continues we
could see Cole Young come
up in May sometime. A lot
will depend how much the
Mariners win or not. The
Mariners have taken care
of third base with Williamson
promotion but second and
third may have to be the same.
Go M's.

Washington Huskies Transfer Portal

The Washington Huskies Football team
have lost a couple players in the last
week.

Caleb Presley cornerback and top
recruit in Washington in 2023 
decided to enter the transfer portal.
He hasn't been able to crack the
Huskies lineup and unable to get
playing time. Injuries happened
as well. He came out of Rainier
Beach High School in Seattle.
We wish him the best.

Offensive lineman Michael Levelled
Watkins who came to Washington
last year haß decided to enter the
portal as well. Often spring practice
players see whether they will get
in any playing time in the coming
season. It is difficult for the team
for depth. 

The Washington State Cougars
have lost 13 player on the football
team since the portal opened on
April 16. The portal closes this
Friday. See who the Cougars will
pick up to replace the plsyers.
Go Cougs!

The Washinton men's basketball received another player in the 
transfer portal in Bryson Tucker coming from Indiana. He didn't 
have a good season at Indiana 
last year. He will have to play 
better for the Huskies to get 
playing time. The Huskies do 
need players coming off the 
bench so they hope he will 
respond.  Go Dawgs!

mariners lose Tuesday in Boston

Jorge Polanco hit a home run 
in the first inning. The Red Sox
scored in the first with a sacrifice
fly. In the third they scored another
run. In the fifth they scored
two more with doubles.

Bryce Miller struggled some and
didn't make it through the fifth.
JP Crawford hit one between left
and center scoring two runs
to put the Mariners down by one.

Trent Thornton came in the seventh
and surrendered a three-run homer.
Newly call up Sauryn Lao came
in  and went one and two-thirds.
He gave up a run on an error.
Final Boston 8 Seattle 3.

Emerson Hancock starts on Wednesday. Be nice to see a
start like in his last outing.
Go.M's.

NFL Draft Coming Up on Thursday

The NFL draft begins Thursday
evening with the first round
going.

Right now the Seahawks have
the 18th overall pick. The
likelihood they will take the
best player available on their
chart.  Depending on how
the draft is going they could
move or down in the first
round.

On Friday they have four  picks
with two picks in the second
and two in the third. The two in
the second round are 18 and 20
so moving up could be easy by
trading one of them along with
their first pick.

On Saturday they have five picks 
as well. They have one pick in
the 4th round and two in the
5th. Those three are compensatory.
They have two in the 7th round.

I don't think the Seahawks actually
pick ten times so even if they don't
trade up in the first round they could
in one of the other rounds. With
no sixth round pick they could add
there. Go Hawks!

Mariners Win Another Series

The Mariners are now red hot 
winning the fourth series in
a row. On Sunday afternoon
the Mariners beat the Blue
Jays 8-3. On current road 
trip 4-2. 

The Mariners got off to a good
start scoring three runs in the
first and second inning. Dylan
Moore led off the game with
a home run and Cal Raleigh
hit one with Julio on base. 
In the second Randy Arozarena
hit a single with the bases 
loadednscoring Ben Williamson 
and Leo Rivas. Mitch Garver 
singles  as well scoring Julio. Arozarena seems to come up 
to bat a lot with the bases 
loaded and delivers too. The  
Blue Jays starter didn't make 
it out of the second. 

The  Blue Jays scored two in
the second and another in
the third. The Mariners were
silent until the seventh when
Rowdy Tellez hit a two-run 
homer. He and Cal hit a home
run in all three games in 
Toronto.

The Mariners have Monday 
off then play the Red Sox in  
Boston Tuesday thru Thursday 
before coming home. The 
Mariners power could continue at Fenway Park.

The Mariners are now 12-10.
The Mariners in second place
behind the Rangers by one 
game. The Angels are losing 
to the Giants while Astros 
play soon against the Padres. 
They are both a game behind 
the M's at this moment. The 
A's are a game behind them.

Update The Giants blew it 
giving up four runs in the
ninth including a double
with the bases loaded to
the Angels.

Mariners Even Series in Toronto

The Seattle Mariners offense 
is starting to build character
especially on this road trip.
Though they made running
mistakes on Friday tge came
back to make contributions.

It took the offense a while at
the same time Logan Gilbert
struggled on the mound. The 
good thing he got out of trouble
when the Blue Jays had runners
on. For example Logan only gave 
up one run in the first inning
when it could have been a lot 
worse.

The Mariners didn't score until
the fifth inning where Cal hit
a ball to the right field corner 
scoring two runs with Ben
Williamson and JP Crawford 
 came home. This was after 
Cal had a confrontation with
the Blue Jays starter and 
all the Mariners players
came out.

The Blue Jays ended up scoring
a run in the bottom of the fifth
to tie the game. Logan Gilbert
was taken out at that point. He
was able to finish the fifth and
possibly get the win.

In the sixth inning the Blue Jays
scored another run however
the top of the seventh new
comer and third baseman Ben
Williamson hit his first major
league home run to tie the
game again. He isn't known
for his bat or power since
he had only four home runs in 
the minors. We won't know
some time but he could 
become a hitter as well as
a defender. There was thought
that top prospect Colt Emerson
may move from shortstop to
third base. The thing is that
could be in a couple years 
and Williamson could cement
himself as the third baseman
by then. I am sure we won't
have a problem with that.
The Mariners do have three
guys to play second and third.

No more scoring happened
until the 12th inning. Randy
Arozarena hit a ball scoring
JP Crawford from third. The
feeling was that Andre Munoz
may have to pitch a second inning.
It turned out it was not necessarily
where Rowdy Tellez hit a grand slam
to make it a five run lead. Casey Lawrence who pitched an inning
on Friday night came in and 
pitched the 12th. The Blue Jays
scored a run however they gave
up outs at the same time. Casey
didn't give up a single hit. Munoz
recorded his first win of the season.
So far he hasn't given up a run
on the season.

Luis Castillo starts on Easter Sunday
in another day game. We hope he
can rebound from his last start. It
would be nice if the Mariners can
win another series.

The Mariners and Angels are now
both two games behind the Rangers 
The Mariners though have played
two more games than the Angels.

Matt Brash is doing rehab assignment
with the Rainiers. He is doing well
so far. He could be activated when
the Mariners return home unless
they want him in the Boston series
that begins on Tuesday. He will be
added good to the bullpen who
have had some struggles outside
of Munoz. Go M's.

Mariners Run Themselves Out Friday Evening

Bryan Woo pitched seven innings
for the M's as they needed to
give tge bullpen some rest.
Bryan went seven innings giving up 
seven hits, two walks and gave 
up three runs.

The Blue Jays got two of their runs
on sacrifice flies. The Mariners had 
four runners thrown out on the
base paths. All of them were questionable.  

The Mariners one run was a homer
by Rowdy Tellez. He was one of
tge guys getting thrown out by
trying to go from second to
third on a fly out. Mariners have
the green light for their runners
to go. It was Tellez second time
in recent games so maybe he 
needs a red light.

Saturday the game between M's
and Blue Jays play in the afternoon.
Logan Gilbert will start so we hope
the Mariners can produce some
runs which they have done in
recent games. We hope he can
go seven in ings as well. Go M's.

This Week Look at M's Minors

Tacoma Rainiers continue to
struggle after getting off to a
a good start. They are 8-9
right now. The Rainers this 
week are playing Oklahoma
City who have cotton off to
a very good start.

Samad Taylor who has been
playing a lot of outfield is
having a good season. He is
batting .292 and leads the 
Rainiers with four home runs
he RBIs. Harry Ford is still
catching every other game
which I don't understand.
He doesn't have a home run
yet and with ten RBIs. Cole
Young has raised his average
to .206. 

Heading into Thursday the
Arkansas Travelers are second 
place with a 7-4 record.

The Travelers two catchers who
primarily sharing the position
are still hitting very well. Connor Charping is hitting .444 and Nick
Raposo is at .318.The team isn't
hitting many home runs with
total of two.

Shortstop Josh Hood is high
hitting as of position players 
with an average of .281. As
far as their starting pitching
goes Adam.Seminaris in two
starts has an era of 1.13.
Their bullpen is doing quite well.
They have three who haven't 
given up a run yet and two in
four outings have given up one
run each.

The Everett Acqua Sox are at
the bottom of the Northwest 
League at 4-7. The guys were
struggling are starting to hit
now. We see where they are 
at in a few weeks.

Top prospect Colt Emerson
is hitting .282 though no
home runs yet. Lazaro Montes
is hitting .282. He leads with
three home runs and nine RBIs.

Modesto Nuts are 8-3 and at
top of the California League.
The team is limiting the innings
of their starters at this point.
Most are pitching four innings
a game. 

Next week we see how they 
continue to do. 







Mariners Take Series

Thursday afternoon the Mariners
beat the Reds 11+7. They took
took two of three. 

It is interesting because they could 
have swept the series as well being
swept. That  is how close it was.

Emerson Hancock who started
the game got off to a hard start
giving up a two-run homer in the
first inning however bounced back
going five innings without giving
anything else up.

The bullpen had some trouble
including giving up a grand slam
homer off of Jake Fraley former
Mariner in the 8th inning. This 
was after the Mariners had taken
the lead before that. 

The Mariners were down by
two into the ninth. Cal Raleigh
and Randy Arozarena hit
back to back homers  to tie.
In the tenth JP Crawford singled
to bring in Dylan Moore. With
the bases loaded Randy Arozarena
was up to the ate which he has done
a lot lately. He looked like again
he would take a walk however 
he hit a double to score two more.
That gave the edge the Mariners
needed to win.

In this game like the whole series
Polanco had a double. He along
with Arozarena and Cal we the big 
guys in this series.

The Mariners now head to Toronto
to take on the Blue Jays. They are
a team that Cal seems to own.
Stay tuned. Go M's.

Mariners Even Series

The Seattle Mariners beat
the Reds to even the series
on Wednesday night 5-3.
The two teams will play
a day game Thursday  before
the Mariners go to Toronto
to take on the Blur Jays on
Friday. 

Cal Raleigh was the hero 
where he hit a home run
from left then the right side.
Cal now has one hundred
career home runs.

Bryce Miller went five innings
giving up no runs on three hits
along with eight strike outs.
He threw a lot of fast balls
in the game.  Troy Taylor 
made his return to the  M's
however gave up the three
runs before he went out.

The Mariners optioned Gregory
Santos to Tacoma after being
wild in Tuesdays game. Will
Klein took his spot in the
bullpen.

Emerson Hancock is expected
to return to make the  start
on Thursday. Whose spot he takes
we will find out. 

The Mariners are now 9-9
in third place a half game 
behind the Angels and two
behind the Rangers. 
Go M's.

Mariners Couldn't Do Moore

Dylan Moore was the Mariners
player of the game for them.
He lead off the game with a
home run and another one
as well to put them ahead twice.

The trouble was starting pitcher
pitcher Luis Castillo who return
to  Cincinnati for the first time
couldn't keep the leads.

The Reds were able to tie
the Mariners after Moore's
first home run and take the
lead after the second one.

So the Reds were able score
five  runs when Castillo left
the game in the fifth inning
with two outs. The Reds were
able to add on three more
while the Mariners couldn't
add anymore. Final Red 8 M's 4.

It did look with Dylan's job
early the Mariners had a 
great chance to win however
it wasn't meant to be.

Not only is it important to
win the first game of a series
it is even more important to
win the first game of a road
trip. We just hope that the
Mariners do much better and
at the end of the road trip it 
was just a hick up.

Third baseman Ben Williamson
who made his first major league
game start got a hit and scored
a run. During that time his family
made their way to Cincinnati.
Though the Mariners lost Ben's
family were still excited. Some
close friends were there as well.
Ben actually was able to get
contact on 19 pitches in all.
If he can continue to show it
he will have a good major league
career. 

Bryce Miller starts on Wednesday.
We hope he can do a better job
so a victory will happen. Go M's.

Washington State Cougars Spring Football

The Washington State Cougars had
their spring football game so camp
is done.

According to new head coach
Jimmy Rogers everyone is
healthy.

The two top quarterbacks Zevi 
Eckhaus and Jaxon Potter each
had touchdown passes thrown.
According to coach Rogers there
is still competition for the starting
job. With a new coach there is 
always a clean slate as well

The outstanding player in the
camp was Leon Neal Jr. wide
receiver. He is not slated on any
depth charts at this time. I am
sure we will see him before
the season starts. He caught
one pass last season for the
Cougars.

The Cougars have experience
team coming into the season.
Last year the Cougars started
off well however last three
games they lost. Before the
bowl game they lost a lot
of players.

In my opinion the transfer 
portal and the moving of 
coaches  should happen 
after the bowl season is 
over. For one thing it isn't 
fair to the alumni and fans 
to lose players and not see 
the same team. If they want 
the bowl games could be 
moved up. 

Speaking of the transfer portal
it opens up again beginning
on Wednesday. It runs for
nine days to enter. This allows
players who were dissatisfied
with spring football camp to
enter. It allows the teams to
find players for positions they
need to add depth at.

The Cougars do have experience
on their side so might not have
a lot of movement. Thr players
commented how much they
liked the new coaching staff. 
Go Cougs!

Mariners Sweep Rangers

The Seattle Mariners swept the
Rangers by beating them
3-1 on Sunday. 

Logan Gilbert struggled in
the first inning just like 
Bryce Miller and Bryan
Woo did in the previous
two games. He didn't give
a run either in the first.
Logan only went five innings
giving up a home run in the
second inning. He walked 
one and struck out seven.

Cal Raleigh hit a two-run
homer in the first inning.
Julio scored the final run
in the sixth inning when
Randy Arozarena was hit
by a pitch with the bases
loaded. He has been up
a lot with bases loaded
recently.

The Mariners used four
relievers and gave up
only one hit on the day.
Munoz had his six save.
The Mariners are now 
8-8. Now they go on a
nine game road trip. We
will see what kind of
team they are.

Before the game the
Mariners brought up
one of their top prospects
in Ben Williamson from
triple-A Tacoma and 
sent down outfielder
Dominic Canzone.
This means that Dylan
Moore may play more
outfield against lefties.

We should expect Williamson
to play a lot at third base.
He was brought up mostly
for his defense than his
bat. Polanco will dh mostly
against right handed pitchers
until he gets healthy. Mitch
Garver against righties for
now. He is only batting .182.
This means to that Cal
will likely get a day off against
a lefty and dh instead.

Miles Mastrobuoni will likely
play some second as well
as some third. A left handed
bat probably face righties
while Leo Rivas will face
lefties.

Coming up Tuesday thru
Thursday the Mariners will
face a lefty in game one
and righties in game two
and three. Williamson will
start game one and see
after that. They will have
Mastrobuoni on the bench
in game one as well as 
Luke Raley. Though Raley
will start against righties
he will mostly stay in
against a lefty. Go M's.

Mariners Bats Come Alive

The Mariners bats came live 
Saturday  night getting 11 hits
and winning 9 to 2 over the 
Texas Rangers. The Mariners 
have won the series and now 
see if they can sweep the
Texas Rangers.

It happens at times where the
starting pitcher has struggles
to begin the game. This happened
to Bryan Woo where he had 
trouble locating his pitches. 
The Rangers only able to get
one run off Woo in the first.
Though it didn't look that way
in the first Woo was able to
cruis after that going seven
innings. 

At one point Woo got 12 batters
to make outs in a row. The third
and seventh the Mariners scored
four runs each time. The four
runs scored in the third was Julio
getting a triple. 

Polanco was able to drive Julio
on a sacrifice fly. The Mariners 
had one run in the fifth with Cal
hitting a home run.

The Mariners are  7-8 and in
third place. Sunday winning
the Mariners will be even on
the season. The Mariners
start a nine game road trip
on Sunday.

Logan Gilbert will start
Sunday's game. He hasn't 
been given any run support.
Hope it changes. Go M's.

Mariners Win Series Opener

Friday night the Mariners beat
the Texas Rangers 5-3. This might
be the first win of the season
on the way the Mariners will win 
most of the time. We must face
that most wins will come this
way. We just hope they have several
more wins then losses.

Jorge Polanco the Mariners best
hitter so far on the season hit
a solo homer in the  first inning. 
It looks as though for the time
being he will be at dh. Rowdy
Tellez hit his first homer as a
Mariner. We hope this gets him
going.

The Rangers scored their first
run in the fourth inning on a 
pop fly to Luke Raley. The M's
responded in the bottom of the
4th when JP Crawford hit s
ball just over the Rangers
shortstop's glove. 

Bryce Miller went only five
innings despite giving up
the one run. He three 30
pitches in the first inning
without giving up a run.
He settled down after that.
He walked three while striking
out five batters. Only surrendered
two hits.

Trent Thornton struggled in his
one inning coming in for Miller.
It included giving up a two run
homer. He was followed by
an inning of Gabe Speier, Carlos
Vargas and Andre Munoz. Each
gave up a hit. It was Munoz fifth
ssvd on the season.

It is so important for the M's
to win the opening game.
Cal Raleigh hit a two-run
homer over right field for the
win in the 8th inning. It is
his 96th career break the
tie with Mike Zunino in most
home runs by a Mariners
catcher. I say it will be a
while before anyone breaks
his record.

Bryan Woo will start on Saturday
night followed by Logan Gilbert
on Sunday. The Mariners sent
Luis F. Castillo down to Tacoma
after his Wednesday's start.

The Rangers will start right
handers in all three games.
Dylan Moore didn't start Friday
night so we will see if he
starts any of these two
remaing games. Leo Rivas
who was recalled from
Tacoma when Ryan Bliss
went on th injured list
played second while Miles
Mastrobuioni played third.
Miles is a left handed bat
so may see Dylan against
lefties at third. For the
time being it will be Rivas, 
Mastrobuoni and Moore
going at second and third.
Donovan Solano who is
the right hitting first baseman
right now could play some
third base as well. All comes
down to.who is playing the
best ball. 

The Mariners are now 6-8
and in 4th place in the
American League west
standings. Go M's.




Seahawks Friday

The Seattle Seahawks were busy
in March adding and subtracting
players. April have not been any
signings.

The NFL draft begins in two
weeks from yesterday  Thursday
on April 24. It will be just the
first round on that day. Friday
will be round two and three.
Saturday four through seven.

We could see the Seahawks 
move up or back in the first
round. A lot depends whether
they want to draft an offensive
lineman in the first round or
not. We will see.

News is out that former 
Seahawks receiver Tyler
Lockett is expected to
sign with thr Carolina
Panthers possibly on
Friday. 

One thing for sure the
Seahawks offense will
be different this coming
season. Both personnel
and how it comes together.

The Seahawks are expected
to be run first offense. Of
course they tried that while
Geno Smith was quarterback
however it never happened.
There are theories like the
offensive line wasn't good
enough or maybe Geno
wanted to pass first. A lot 
we will see from him with
the Raiders now that he
and Pete Carroll united
together.

Under Pete Carroll he wanted
to run first however often when
not succeeded Geno would
throw up to fifty passes a game.
Maybe that got him his new
contract with the Raiders
however will it get them to
the playoffs. 

There have rumors about
Kenneth Walker lll during
the offseason. Will he be
the starting running back
or not. He is very talented
although injuries along 
with the line or scheme
have kept him from doing
so. Go Hawks!


Update Friday  the Seahawks 
signed free agent quarterback 
and former qb Drew Lock  to 
a contract. It looks he will
compete with Sam Howell 
for the backup spot.

Not knowing  for sure the
Seahawks  could trade Sam
Howell  by the time of the 
NFL  draft.  Let you know 
know more details  later.

Men's Basketball Transfer Portal

The Washington Huskies have another 
player added to the roster through
the transfer portal. This player wss
on  the team's roster in Mike Hopkins
last season as a true freshmen. Trouble he never got any playing
time because of injuries. Last season
as a redshirt freshman he transfered
to USC Trojans where he had very
good success though the  team didn't
so much.

The players name is Wesley Yates lll.
He got serious attention from Kentucky
and Texas. Turning down a top notch
program like Kentucky and being from
Texas couldn't have been easy. Some
guys though want to go a distance
for college and play basketball. Yates
is now the fifth player who is coming 
to Seattle. He averaged 14.1 points 
a game and shot over 43% in 3 point
shots something the Huskies could
use. 

Yates is listed at small forward though
more likely be a big guard. He will be
teamed with Zoom Diallo who returns
for his sophomore season. These 
two could be a tough guys to match
up. Diallo didn't shoot many threes
last year however will have to look
to increase if he wants to play at the
higher level. Combined these two
could score 30 plus points a game.

At point guard is newcomer Quaimari
Peterson  a  conference player this
last season. Coming in as a senior 
he hss the experience to get the
ball to Yates and Diallo. This doesn't
count the inside guys the Huskies
have improve as well. 

Playing in the Big Ten the Huskies
need to be more physical which
looks like it will happen.  Playing
better defense is a must.

The first year under head coach
Danny Sprinkle they had Great Osobor
as their primary offensive player.
Though they had a few other guys
the Big Ten schools knew was to
play good defense against Osobor.
A senior it was his only season as
a Husky. Next season the other Big
Ten teams will have to try to stop
most of the  Huskies starters.

So far Gonzaga hasn't named any
players coming as transfers. They
have show interest in at least five
players. Losing four seniors and a
couple transfers they need at  least five.

On Wednesday the Washington State 
Cougars lost Cedric Coward to the
transfer portal. A shooting guard
Coward missed most of the season
with injuries. He transfered last year
to the Cougars from Eastern Washington where current coach 
David Riley had coached previously.

None of the  other four  Cougar players
in the transfer have signed elsewhere
yet. Who they are going after isn't
mentioned either. We will let you know
where the transfers end up going
as well those coming in. 

The Cougars do have eight players
returning however no incoming
freshmen mentioned as of yet.

Tomas Thrastarson who played
a lot when Isaiah Watts was out.and started. Named to West Coast 
Conference all-freshman team.

Forward Rihards Vavers played
in only 16 games and late in
season his minutes increased.
He averaged 1.6 points a game.
He is capable of more and could
be a starter or playing capable
minutes off the bench.

Forward DK Okafor a sophomore 
last season came over from
California Berkeley. He played
in 32 games averaging 13.8
minutes coming off the bench.
He could be a starter or contribute 
more time off the bench. Okafor
averaged 5.6 points a game and
2.7 rebounds.

These are three contributors 
to.last season team. Cougars 
will decline if they don't find
anyone or a few. We see what 
happens. 

One thing we want Gonzaga, 
Washington, and Washington 
State all be thrifying and
making it to the NCAA tournament.

Gonzaga is only consistent
team to make it into the
tournament. We hope the
Huskies, and Cougars make
it more often than they has been.








Q





Look At Mariners Minor League Teams

Since last Thursday the Tacoma Rainiers have been struggling.
They won their first three games
at home starting the Friday after
the Mariners. Last week they 
went 2-4 in Reno. This week
playing Sacramento at home 
they have lost both games.
So currently tied for last with
5-6 record. They are three games
behind Las Vegas at 8-3.

The Rainers have had a few pitchers
gone up to the Mariners already
with Emerson Hancock coming 
down to Tacoma after his first
and the bullpen being over used.

Dominic Canzone was recalled
to the Mariners with the injury
to Victor Robles last Sunday and
he will be out three months.
Canzone was hitting .276 at time
of his call up. Leo Rivas was called
up on Wednesday to take the spot
of Ryan Bliss who was injured in
Tuesday's game. He likely be out
for at least a couple months. Rivas
was hitting .304 and leading the
Rainiers with six RBIs. 

As of now Cole Young is struggling
at the plate hitting .171. Harry Ford 
has slumped after getting off to a 
good start now hitting .200. He and
Blake Hunt are sharing catching
duties. In my open Ford needs to
play more either at catcher or in
the outfield or at dh. Playing this way
is hurting his hitting.

Tyler Locklear is the Rainers top 
hitter right now at .323. His best
game was on April 6 when he had
four hits. 

The Arkansas Travelers the Double A
team along with Everett and Modesto
started their season last Friday.
The Travelers are 2-3 and lost the
first two games of the season.

Outfielder Victor Labrada is hitting
.400 in the five games and has the
Travelers only home run. Both
catchers are alternating as happening
through the beginning of the season.
In three games Connor Charping is.hitting .444 while Nick Raposo
is .333 in two games. Small sample
size.

We will look at more players next
Thursday on the Travelers.

The Everest Acqua Sox are 2-3
as well. They did win their season
opener last Friday. One of the
top prospects Lazaro Montes
has gotten off to a hot start
hitting .429 with two home runs
and six RBIs. A team high in
all three categories. At some point
he likely be up with the Travelers
 next season. He could in the next
couple years be an outstanding
player for the Mariners.

Catcher Josh Caron who has
caught four games is hitting
.412. He has a home run and
five RBIs already. Michael 
Arroyo another top infielder
prospect is getting off to a slow 
start hitting .118. Currently he
is at dh though he can play all
the infield spots.

Colt Emerson the Mariners number
one prospect is hitting .308. The Mariners drafted him at number
one in 2023. He is already playing better than expected and among
the top of the prospects in baseball.
We could see him move up the
Mariners system quickly. He is
playing shortstop however he could
play at third base. 

Mariners number one pick last
year Jurrangelo Cijntje has begun
his professional career this year in Everett. Mostly know to be able to
throw both right handed and left.
In his first start his first strike out
was throwing left handed and his
second was right handed. Being
a starter right now in the long run
with the Mariners hard to know 
right now whether he will start or
put into tge bullpen. It will come
down to the Mariners needs.

Modesto the Mariners low single A
team has gotten off to a tremendous
start at 5-0. They have already scored
32 runs as a team. Seven players
are already hitting over .300.

Austin St. Laurent Modesto's third
baseman leads in hitting with .381
average. He isn't among the Mariners
top thirty prospects. Austin is 22
years old and drafted by the Mariners
in the 14th round last year. He played
in only three games last year for Modesto. 

Felnin Celesten the Mariners number
five prospect could be the Mariners 
starting shortstop in the future
is hitting .348 and leads Modesto
with six RBIs. Like Colt Emerson
he is only 19 and stardom is in
his makeup. The Mariners signed
him as an international player in
2023. 

Ryan Sloan pitcher drafted out of
high school last year in the second
round and the Mariners eight top
prospect is at Modesto. Made one
start where he went one inning
giving up two runs on two hits.
It was his professional debut.
We expect greater things from
Ryan. We will let you know how
he progresses on the season. 

So that's this weeks look at
the Mariners minor league teams.
The Mariners have Thursday off
and start a three game series at
home before going on the road.

The first team of three next week
will be against the Cincinnati Reds
starting on Tuesday. Go M's.

Mariners beat Astros Late

The Astros were leading 5-0 
into the eighth inning. Most
everyone figured the Mariners 
were cooked and done for
since had only two hits.

Randy Arozarena hit a grand slam
to make it an Astros lead by
one run. In the ninth inning Casey Lawrence who was called up
throwing his third inning  threw
a wild pitch scoring a run from
third to make it a two run.lead
which is hard to come back.

The Mariners had two hits and
loaded the bases with no outs.
Julio Rodriguez hit a double
to right field to tie the game.
The Mariners loaded the bases.
After JP Crawford was out at
home on a grounder. Randy 
Arozarena was up at the plate
again. This time he walked for
the walk off run. Go M's. 


Tuesday, April 8, 2025

Mariners Look the Same

The Seattle Mariners lost to the
Houston Astros Tuesday night.
They had opportunities to win
especially in the 11th when they
had runners on first and third
with one out. Mitch Garver 
hit into a double play instead 
of a single or sacrifice fly. In
the 12th the Astros  scored
where Jesse Hahn walked 
three batters to score the
winning run. The Mariners
weren't able to tie though
they had opportunities to at
least  least tie the game.

Final Astros 2. Mariners 1

The Mariners again need to make 
changes to get into the pennant
race. To think that they can turn
things around is wishful thinking.

News came out that Victor Robles
will be out for three months though
surgery isn't expected. Go M's.

Washington Huskies Men's Add Another

Washington Huskies certainly been busy over the last week to make
a serious contender in the Big Ten 
Conference this coming 2025-26 
season for men's basketball.

The Huskies had a disappointing
season in Danny Sprinkle first
season as head coach. He said
that he had to improve at each
position and it looks like at this point.

The most recent pickup is Jacob
Ognacevic who is looking to play
at the small forward. Jacob is six 
foot eight . He played the last 
three years at Lipscomb. Jacob
is another player of the year and 
in the Sun Conference. He averaged
Twenty points and eight rebounds
a game. 

It looks like the Huskies have their
starting five.  Besides Jacob they 
have two other seniors along with
two sophomores. Right now they
have four freshmen and a junior 
Mady Traore coming off the bench.
Washington may look to add more
fire power to the second group 
coming off the bench. 

The  freshmen we begin with is 
JJ Mandaquit at point quard. JJ
is six feet one out of Hurricane,
Utah where he went to Utah Prep.
He was recruited by BYU and
USC to name a couple schools.

At shooting guard is Cortland
Muldew.  He is sixfoot three 
out of Arkansas. 

At small forward is Niko Bundalo
from Prolific Prep in Napa California.
He is 6'10 and a five star recruit.
He considered both Michigan State
and Ohio State along with other teams.

The final freshmen is Hannes Steinbach at power forward.
He is an international player
from Germany.

All four freshmen do look ready
for college basketball. This could
be s big year ahead for the Huskies.

The Cougars and Gonzaga haven't
announced any transfers to their
schools as of yet. We wish them the 
best.

Mariners End Losing Streak

The Seattle Mariners beat the
Astros in opening game of
the three against the Houston Astros
4-3 on Monday night.

Two common things in this one
where the Mariners won by
one run and Logan Gilbert with
little run support. 

No runs for either team until Ryan
Bliss hit a two-run homer in the 
fifth inning. Jose Altuve hit a
homer off Logan in the sixth inning.
It was the only hit  that Logan
gave up. Logan left with two outs.

Trent Thornton came in the sixth
with two outs and got the third
out. He pitched the seventh inning.

Gregory Santos pitched the 8th
inning. The Astros scored two
to take the lead however both
were unearned. Jorge Polanco 
hit a single in the bottom of
the 8th scoring Dylan Moore
and Miles Mastrobuoni who 
walked after hitting for Bliss.

Andre Munoz came in the 
9th and got the save. He gave
up no hits and struck out one.

Victor Robles went on injured
list. Details of MRI may come
on Tuesday so may know more
and how  long he will be out.
Luke Raley was in right field.
Rowdy Tellez at first base.
Polanco was at dh.

On Tuesday the Mariners face 
lefty Valdez so be interesting
the lineup. Since they are facing
Valdez and Wednesday is a
day game Mitch Garver likely
catch Tuesday while Raleigh
is dh or on the bench. A lot
depends whether they want
Polanco be at dh or third
base.  We could see Dylan
Moore in right field or Raley
again. Go Mariners!














Looking At the American League West.

The Seattle Mariners are at
the bottom of the American
League West division with
a 3-7.

The Mariners were swept by the
Giants however two were walk
offs and the third they could
have won as well.

The Giants are at the top of the
National League West with an 8-1
and right ahead of the Dodgers
and the Padres.

The Texas Rangers are on top
of the American League West
with a 8-2 record. The Mariners
are five games behind them.

The LA Angels have gotten off
to a good start at 6-3. They  have
played more on the road where
they are 4-2. The Houston Astros
are 4-5 and have lost four of
six at home. The A's are 0-3 at
home and 4-6 altogether. Being
in an unfamiliar park in Sacramento
is a good season.

The Mariners taken on the Astros
beginning on Monday thru Wednesday.
It will be important that the M's
win at least two out of three before
facing the Rangers at home on
Friday. 

The Mariners have called up Dominic
Canzone from Tacoma after the
injury to Victor Robles on Sunday.
No details how long he maybe out.

We will likely see Canzone and
Raley share right field until Robles
returns against righties. We might
see Raley against some lefties
as well as Dylan Moore in right.

Rowdy Tellez who made the ball
club with a good spring training
has gotten off to a terrible start
with one hit and an average of
.067. Donovan Solano hasn't
done better either with one hit
with an average of .071. Makes
it tough at first base. 

Tyler Locklear is hitting .370 at Tacoma right now do if there is still trouble
continues they may have to make 
a move. Anyway Canzone and Raley
be both in the lineup.  

Next week beginning on Tuesday
they face the Cincinnati Reds 
followed by Toronto on Friday
and three against the Red Sox
the following Tuesday before
coming home. It will be important
that the Mariners stay around 
the .500 mark  the next three weeks.
Go M's.

Tough Loss For Mariners

The Mariners were swept by the
Giants on the road. 
Final Giants 5 Mariners 4

The Mariners had a home run by
Julio in the first and Cal Raleigh
in the third to take earlier lead

Bryan Woo was pitching until
the fourth when he gave up 
a three run homer to Mike
Yastrzemski which help Giants
have four runs.

Mariner got a run in the sixth
and tied in the ninth when
Randy Arozarena had a hit
to drive in tying run with two
outs.

In the ninth Victor Robles made
a great catch however hurt 
his shoulder. How bad don't
know.  He could go on the
injured list or be by the day.

The Giants had a walk off single
right after that. 

The Mariners  come home
to take on the Astros Monday
for three. Go M's.

Mariners Lose to Giants Again

Bryce Miller didn't have his A game
though he kept it close most of
the time.

It is tough when the offense can
only score one run  though had 
seven hits on the night. The
Mariners one run was a homer 
by Dylan Moore.

Final was Giants 4 Mariners 1

Miller went into the sixth inning
and was taken.out for Trent
Thorton who got the last two
outs.

Jesse Hahn who the Mariners
brought up from Tacoma went 
the last two innings. He allowed
some base runners however
no Giants players scored.

The Mariners sent down lefty
Tayler Saucedo to Tacoma.
We hope he can straighten
out some things and get back.
The Mariners do have Gabe
Speier's from the left side.

Sunday afternoon Bry Woo
will start this final game
of the series. He is someone
who can stop a losing
streak.  Go M's.

The Mariners Lose In Extra Innings

The Seattle Mariners knew they had 
to have a good offense to have any 
chance to win over the San Francisco 
Giants on Friday afternoon which they
did.

The game was a wild one..Luis
F. Castillo who the Mariners
acquired during the offseason
went only three innings and
gave up three runs. They knock
Justin Verlander in the third inning 
too. The score was tied at three.

Tayler Saucedo, Collin Snider and
Eduard Bazardo  gave up five 
runs in the next three innings.
The offense caught to make
it 8-8 after nine.  The Mariners 
used their whole bullpen while
the Giants used seven.

Carlos Vargas was the last
pitcher in the 11th inning.
The Mariners had taken the
lead in the top of the inning
on a wild pitch unfortunately
Vargas gave up two runs
on a single with runners
on second and third. Before
it happened on a pitch he
stumbled to the right. Had 
that not happened the Mariners
may have won the game.
They were glad he was ok.

The Mariners have Saturday night
game. Bryce Miller starts for
the Mariners while Robby Rae 
goes for the Giants. It is important
that the starters go as deep as they
can. See if any moves happen 
before the ball game for the 
bullpens. Go M's.




Mariner Take on Giants With Another Luis Castillo

The Seattle Mariners  game Friday 
is a day game in San Francisco. 
OnbWednesday  Luis Castillo was 
the winning pitcher. 

Friday the Mariners  are starting 
another Luis Castillo  who they
acquired  during the off-season.
He is brought up from Tacoma
where he started  the season.  
He will start against Justin 
Verlander. While Bryce Miller 
will be moved back a day. 

Early  on the season  it isn't 
a bad idea  to give starters 
an extra day  off as they to
increase their pitch count
and innings.  This will help
in the long run is the theory. 

There are rumors that the
Mariners  would trade Luis 
Castillo from Wednesday 
during the off-season.  
Those rumors are coming 
again here he would be 
 traded to the  Chicago Cubs 
during the season.  Would it 
be withi a couple months or 
at the trading deadline. 

The Cubs are familiar  with 
Castillo  as he played for the
Cincinnati  Reds  before coming
to Seattle.  The Mariners  in 
return  may get starter Matthew  
Boyd who played for the Mariners 
in the last of 2022 season.  At
that time he pitched in relief
in ten games where he found 
success.

Boyd has been a starter most
of his career. The Mariners 
could use him in either role.
He was born in the Seattle 
area so finishing  his career
he may like. The Mariners 
are expected to get two
pitching prospects  and a
third base prospect too.

Currently  Ben Williamson 
is playing third base and
plays major league defense .
Whether he can do the same
hitting  wise we will  see.
Having another third base
project doesn't  hurt in the
same having  more pitching 
isn't  bad either. Go M's.

This Week's Look At Tacoma Raniers

The Tacoma Rainers began
their season last Friday.
They have 4-2 record and 
in second  place behind
Las Vegas at 4-1.

They lost Reno Thursday night 
8-2. They are 2-1 in this series
on the road. Harry Ford and
Blake Hunt have split time 
at catcher each playing in
three gamed.

Harry has three hits in nine
official at bats. He has walked
four times and struck out once
which is a good. Blake is still
waiting for his first. Gone
hitless in ten at bats. Has  no
walks and struck out six times.
Not sure how long they will 
continue splitting games and
whether we see Harry play
elsewhere too.

Cole Young is getting off to 
a slow start. He has only 
four hits in twenty- three 
at bats. Ben Williamson
is hitting .304 playing in
all six games. His defense
at third base has been
spectacular.  Since Polanco
hasn't played well defensively
for the Mariners and it 
continues we could see 
Williamson soon. Polanco
will still be in the lineup
somewhere if he continues 
hitting.

The Rainiers have only five
home runs so much similar
to the Mariners. Leo Rivss
who went up as a paternity
replacement and has now
back with the Rainiers leads
with two home runs. He has
two hits so both were homers.

Double A Arkansas, Everett
High A and Modesto Low A
all begin their season on
April 4.  Most of the Mariners
top prospects are at Everett 
and Modesto this year. 
Let you you how they do
next Thursday..




WSU and Huskies Men's Basketball Update

The WSU lost barely on Monday
to Georgetown in men's basketball
in a great game that came down to
the wire. This without having
Isaiah Watts and Nate Calmese
who both went into the transfer
portal. }

Since the game LeJuan Watts 
announced he was entering the
transfer portal. Expect he is 
Pwanted since not only  score
in double figures he was the
Cougars top rebounder.

Just like the Huskies and the
Zags the Cougars will have a new 
starting lineup with transfer and
graduation.

The Washington Huskies have
Zoom Diallo returning and Franck
Kepnang. The center has been hurt
since coming to Washington the
last two years.

The Huskies have a new center 
in Lathan Somerville who transfered over from Rutgers. He averaged 8.2 points and 4.1 rebounds. Being 6'10
the Huskies expect him to be good
inside.

The Huskies are building a good 
front line as they have high schooler
Niko Bundalo who is a McDonald's
All-American. He to is 6'10 and play
at strong forward. Also signed 
Junior College transfer Mady Traore.
He would be small forward.

News just came out on Thursday
 they signed 18- year old big man Hannes Steinbach out of Germany. 
He has experience in the German
pro league. The Huskies are
building their team next season
quickly.

Again another signing Southern
Conference player of the year
Quimari Peterson from East
Tennessee State. 

No news about anyone transferring 
to the Cougars yet.

Gonzaga's Dusty Stromer is
transferring to Grand Canyon.
A good basketball team though
a level below Gonzaga. 

We wish all three teams having
good classes coming in. 






Washington Huskies in NFL: Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons had five players
from the Huskies who played or 
where on their roster in 2024.

The most familiar face for Huskies 
fans is  Michael Penix Jr. who was 
drafted in the first round last year.

When drafted by the Falcons was why.
They had Kirk Cousins and he is 
making a lot of money.  The last 
three games of the season Penix
became the starter with the Falcons
struggling on the season and he
is expected to start the 2025 season.

The Falcons drafted Bralen Trice
in the 2024 draft. Unfortunately
he injured a knee and was out for 
the season. We hope he is back
to play edge rusher in 2025.

Kevin King a veteran cornerback
was drafted by the Green Bay
Packers back in 2017 in the
second round . He played for 
them five seasons. King played 
last  year for the Falcons in 15 
games s a reserve. He now is a 
free aentso not sure where he 
will land.

Kaleb McCrary right tackle was
drafted by the Falcons in 2019
in the first round. He has been
influence in their running game
ever since than.

Keith Taylor a cornerback was
drafted in fifth round by Carolina
in 2021. He spent two years there
and the last two with the Kansas
City Chiefs as a reserve. Now he
is with Atlanta so hopefully he 
gets in playing time.

We wish the best for all former
Huskies on the Falcons. Go Dawgs.

Mariners Beat Tigers

The Mariners took three games
to do it however finally beat the
Tigers 3-2.

We would have thought the M's
would have won either game one
or two however stuck to winning
game.

As expected it was a pitching 
duel. The Mariners scored first
in the second inning after the 
Tigers had a miscue in the infield.
Victor Robles hit a double to
drive in both Dylan Moore and
JP Crawford. Dylan Moore had 
a  solo home run in the 4th.

Tigers got their two runs in the
fifth inning. Trey Sweeney led
off with home run and second 
was on a double play. 

Luis Castillo was pitcher of the
game going seven innings. He
gave up five hits, two walks and
five strike outs. This allowed 
the Mariners go with two 
relievers.

Gabe Speier who is back now
and healthy gave up no hits
and struck out one. The ninth
inning was tough as Andre 
Munoz allowed the Tigers
to load the bases with no
outs. Fortunately he was 
able to get out of it. Dylan
Moore took a short grounder 
and threw it home to Mitch 
Garver who was catching 
on the day.

The Mariners lineup for the
most part still struggling at
the plate. Just need to get 
three or four runs to win.
Running the bases will be
important for the guys.
Don't strike out so much.

The Mariners have Thursday 
off and then face the Giants
in the San Francisco area.
This series won't be easy
as they take on Justin 
Verlander who is now with 
the Giants on Friday. Glad 
he isn't with the Astros 
anymore. On Saturday 
the Mariners will face 
former Mariner pitcher 
Robbie Ray. Remember 
he was traded to the 
Giants for Mitch Haniger. 
Go M's.




Washington State Cougars Spring Practice 2025

The Washington State Cougars 
spring practices started before
the Huskies last Saturday. Each
team has about 30 practices in
the spring. 

The Cougars are having practice
in Spokane this year. Helps not
to be distracted. The Cougars have
to do what the Huskies did last
year go with a new head coach
Jimmy Rogers who came over
from South Dakota State and
his new staff along with new 
offense.

Now with the transfer portal
new players besides freshmen
are new to the team and fans.
It is going be like the NFL or
more so having free agents
each year.

If you are a freshman this could
be your only season or you have
to compete against some new
guys. On offense the Cougars
have many of the guys return
who have eligibility left though
did lose their starting quarterback
John Mateer before last years
bowl game.

The Cougars have Zevi Eckhaus
back at quarterback who had
initially gone into the transfer 
portal.  Though a backup until
the bowl he is a senior so one
year to show his stuff.

The Cougars have only two
transfers into their starting
lineup. One is wide receiver
Devin Ellison a transfer from
junior college so he will have
to learn to cope at a higher
level. 

At tight end is Ademola Faleye
a transfer from Michigan State
and a senior. Not used a lot
last year in catches with only
two. Expect a lot more this 
season.

On defense the Cougars have
five new starters who have
transfered over. Mostly at
linebacker and defensive backs.
They have five more backing
them up. Cougar fans hope
they will have a better defense
this season. 

We will introduce to the guys
over the weeks ahead. Go Cougs!

Mariners Second Loss To Tigers

Again Logan Gilbert is getting
little run support and unfortunately
the Mariners unable to win.

Final Tigers 4 Mariners 1

Logan gave up two runs with
a double  followed by a single 
and the hitter who drove in
the run went to second. He was 
driven in too. This was in the first.

Victor Robles had the only hit 
of the game for the Mariners
to lead off in the Mariners
half of the first. 

Logan gave up another run
in the third. No other runs
through five innings. He 
threw 92 pitches as he struck
out five. 

The Mariners got their lone
run in the seventh inning
when Tellez had s sacrifice
fly to score Arozarena.
The Tigers got their final
run on a homer off Thornton.

The Mariners and Tigers
play a day on Wednesday.
The Mariners face the Tigers
ace do.they will have to find
a way to score runs to avoid 
a sweep. We could say the 
Mariners missed the playoffs
on how they played the Tigers
last year and the same happening
this time.

The Mariners could learn from
the Tigers on how to score in
T-Mobile Park. Work elsewhere 
too. 

The Mariners were without
Jorge Polanco who went on
parenity list as his wife was
having a baby. Leo Rivas
was brought up from Tacoma.
The Mariners sent down 
Emerson Hancock to Tacoma
after Monday's game. The
Mariners will have Thursday's
off before facing the Giants
on Friday. The Mariners
likely skip the fifth starter on 
Sunday with Logan facing 
them. The Mariners won't
need a fifth starter for a 
while  as they have a
day off on Thursday April
10th as well. They have two
Mondays off in a row after 
that too. They may not need
a fifth starter until May unless
Kirby returns before then. 
The Mariners brought up
Jhonathan Diaz in his spot
however he likely pitch out
of the bullpen until Troy
Taylor is activated. Matt 
Brash might be available 
before George Kirby too.
Go M's. 













Mariners Another Loss At Home
