Mariners Different Team Same Results

Friday night the Seattle Mariners 
faced the Minnesota Twins at
home. The results turned out
the same.

Going late into the game it
was another outstanding 
pitching match up. Bryan
Woo was able to go into
the seventh. He surrendered
his third run of the game so
Matt Brash came in with
two outs and got the third
out he didn't return in the
eighth.

The bottom of the 8th Cal
Raleigh hit is 21st home
run of the season  to put
the Mariners up 6-3. It
looked like  a sure win.

Andre Munoz came in the
gsme so we thought here
we go. Unfortunately for
the first time of the season
he was hit for more than
one in a game. The Twins
scored two runs to come
within one run. Munoz
still had the chance with
two outs to save however
gave up a solo home run.
The Mariners weren't able 
to score in the bottom of the
ninth. 

Here is the tenth. Same as
Thursday night the Mariners
were touched for several
runs. The Twins hit a two-run
homer with the runner on base
in extra innings. The Twins 
loaded the bases with two.
The Mariners had a chance 
if they could get that last out.

The hitter for the Twins hit
the ball up the middle hard
however Dylan Moore couldn't
field the play cleanly so two
more runs were scored. Again
added another two runs. Final
Twins 12 Mariners 6

Once in a great moon Munoz
will be hit like on Friday night.
The Mariners show they need
a reliever who can pitch in
extra innings. This was the
first gsme Matt Bray had 
pitched in two straight games.
He likely won't pitch Saturday
of Sunday. 

The Mariners need to make a
trade or find a reliable reliever
from the minor leagues. Also
another beat or two would be
good idea. Luke Raley is expected
to do a rehab assignment with
Tacoma.  Cole Young made two
plate appearances before being
taken out. Talk online is he will
be called up to the Mariners and
it makes sense. Most likely Leo
Rivas will be sent down. He hasn't
played a lot lately.

In Tacoma's game Harry Ford was
at dh instead of catching. He had
three hits and we could see him
soon and maybe this weekend.
Trent Thorton made a rehab assignment for the Rainiers too.
We could see him back in the
bullpen too. Though he hasn't
had a great season before going
on the injured list he would be
an added plus though not the
total answer. He went one inning
and struck out too. Troy Taylor 
who is trying to make his way
back finished the game for the
Rainiers going one inning walking
one and striking out three.

We will see whether Young and
Ford be up. Saturday game is
late afternoon as it is on Fox TV.
Go M's.

Mariners Blasted In Extra Inning

Emerson Hancock pitched well
for five innings giving up no
runs. In the sixth inning he
walked a couple batters. He
did get one out in the process.

The Washington Nationals again
went with an all left handed
hitting lineup so they brought
in Gabe Speier the lefty however
he wasn't able to hold it and
gave up a double scoring two 
runs.

The Mariners bottom of batting
order came through tying the
game in the seventh. Andre Munoz
made appearance in the ninth
inning with tie score and did
his usual good deed. The best
reliever in baseball right now.

Collin Snider pitched the 10th
and got lit up. He gave up
seven runs including a three
run homer and that was the
ball game. The Mariners did
score a single run in the bottom
of the 10th. Nationals 9-3 win.

Logan Gilbert made his first
rehab assignment going a
couple innings for the Tacoma
Rainiers. How many he has
we will see.

The Mariners now take on the
Minnesota Twins over the 
weekend. Bryan Woo starts
for the Mariners who is having
an outstanding season. Go.M's

Mariners What Day Makes A Difference

On Tuesday the Mariners took care
of the Nationals easily.

Wednesday the Nationals took
care of the Mariners winning  9-0.

George Kirby made his second
appearance of the season.
He went five innings giving up six runs including three solo  home runs.
Also walked two and struck out
four.  We do hope he turns things
around in his next start.

Mariners only had five hits with
the no runs. We hope Thursday
night the Mariners can win
the series. The Mariners will
be taking on the Minnesota
Twins over the weekend. The
Twins are tied with Cleveland
in second place in the American
League Central.They haven't
played well on the road   See
What happens. Go M's.


More Help For The Mariners

Logan Gilbert is expected to go on
rehab assignment real soon and
Bryce Miller expected back as well.

The Mariners are expected to stay
with a five man rotation. Though
he belongs Logan Evans will likely
go back to Tacoma. Emerson
Hancock I believe should go to the
bullpen for long relief. He could
come in for any of the starters
early if they get in trouble or
at least go two innings or longer.
This would help out the other
seven in the bullpen and not
continue bringing up relievers
from Tacoma.

The Mariners need help in the
in the infield. News is Like Raley
is expected to go on rehab assign-ment next week. Be interesting to
see whose spot he take. He can
play some outfield as well as 
first base. The dh spot is filled
right now. 

Cole Young continues hitting
well at Tacoma so he should
come up in June. This would
put Dylan Moore in better place
moving around.  He played
well Tuesday however be good
to give him a day or two on the
bench when he isn't hitting as
well and use him off the bench.

Whose spot would Young take?
I like to see Leo Rivas stick
however they aren't playing him 
much. Stay tuned to let you know
how other prospects are doing.
Go M's

Evans Takes Down Nationals

Tuesday night the Mariners started
rookie pitcher Logan Evans against
Washington Nationals. He had to 
face all left handed bats which
doesn't happen. Evans made it
look easy going eight innings.
The longest game he has pitched
as a professional pitcher. Evans
never had pitched seven innings
before and he threw 88. He could
have gone out for the ninth.

The Mariners started out scoring
three runs in the first inning with
Julio and Cal hitting back home
runs. The only blemish Evans had
was giving up a home run in the
fourth inning. 

Cal had another solo home run
in the fifth inning. We were hoping
he would hit three on the night
however didn't happen. The M's
scored three more in the sixth
and two in the eighth.

Julio and Dylan Moore had three
hits on the night while Cal and
Ben Williamson had two. Evans 
gave up four hits while walking
one and striking out four. He 
is now 3-1 on the season.

Final Mariners 9 Nationals 1






Seahawks Defensive Backs

Most of the time the Seahawks
will go with five defensive backs.
This means three defensive lineman
and three linebackers most of the
time.

Devon Witherspoon going into
his third season and the best
defensive back is listed at
nickel back however we will
see him all over the field.
It will all come down to a
running or passing play.

Damarion Williams is listed
as the backup at nickel back.
Won't see him in for Witherspoon
very often except for a breather.
If he is in Witherspoon will likely
be in at the same time.

Josh Jobe is listed as the starter
at left cornerback. Last season
he played ten games for the
Seahawks where he had 37 tackles
and one interception. The Seahawks
resigned him during the offseason.
Nehemiah Pritchett a fifth round
pick last season is his backup. 
He to played in ten games last
season.

Riq Woolen a fifth round in 2022
is the right cornerback for the
time being. He had an outstanding
season as a rookie however he
has slumped the last two years.
For him to continue on the team
he will have to play more like
his rookie season. 

Shemar Jean-Charles was signed
during the offseason by the
Seahawks. Last season he played
nine games for the New Orleans
Saints. He started last season
on the Saints practice squad.
He is listed as Woolen's backup.

Julian Love is the starter at
strong safety. This will be his
third season in Seattle. Last
season he had 109 tackles
with two forced fumbles and
three interceptions. Newcomer
and number two round draft
pick Nick Emmanwori  is listed
as his backup. Last season the
Seahawks sometimes went with
three safeties in the game at 
the same time so we could see
both in the game together.

Coby Bryant a fourth round pick
in 2022 a former cornerback
is the free safety. He played
every game last season for
the Seahawks. Bryant had 
73 tackles with one forced 
fumble and three interceptions.
If the Seahawks did go with
three safeties he could move
over to the traditional cornerback
spot or the nickel. 

Jerrick Reed ll a sixth round pick
in 2023 is Coby's backup. He
missed much of last season 
with an injury. Was able to
return for the last five games.
We wish him a healthy 2025
season.

That is it for the look at both the
offensive and defenses of the
Seahawks.

Special teams Michael Dickson 
returns as punter as does field
goal kicker and Chris Stoll as 
long snapper.

Rookie Tory Horton is listed as
punt returner and Kenny McIntosh
as kick off returner. Both could
change depending whether they
both make the team or not.

We will do more on any more
news on the Seahawks heading
into preseason. Go Hawks!

Houston Astros Walkoff

The Mariners were not able to
beat the Houston Astros on
Sunday afternoon to win the 
road game so lost the series.
Good thing they took six of
ten on this road trip. Most of 
the time we will take it.

Final Houston 5 Mariners 3

The Astros hit a walk off home
run in the bottom of the ninth.
Andre Munoz didn't pitch the
 ninth inning because of the 
tie. My opinion the Mariners 
do not have a reliever who
could pitch in this circumstance
unless putting Matt Brash in.
No one else has shown they can
do well in tge ninth inning. 

Now the Mariners come back home.
The Mariners have Monday off 
and take on thr Washington Nationals.
It is interesting thst they don't play
on a holiday. Go M's.

Errors Cost Mariners

Saturday afternoon the Mariners
lost to the Astros 2-1.

Bryan Woo continues to pitch
well and able to go six innings
at least every start. The M's
had two errors early on
and that is how the Astros
scored.

The Mariners are averaging 
over five runs a game unfortunately
unable to do so on Saturday.
The starting pitching is going to
be healthy soon and the bullpen
is doing better as well.

The Mariners are the best team
in the AL West while the rest
go up and down. We don't know
whether the Mariners can continue
their winning ways though if they
do should win the division and
anything can happen in the playoffs.

The Mariners continue winning
at the same pace even with a
few losing streaks they should 
win. The key is to fix the holes 
they still have. Go M's.

Mariners Win Late Again

Friday night looked a lot like most of
the Mariners wins on the season.

The Houston Astros were leading
3-2 heading into the seventh inning.
Julio Rodriguez hit a double to
drive in JP Crawford who had two
hits on the night. Cal came up
and hit a two-run homer and that
was it. 

Earlier Traveras had a home run in
the third inning. He is getting hot
having three hits on the night.
Miles Mastrobuino had a home run 
in the fifth. He was playing second
base. I expect he will be at third
on Saturday or Sunday giving 
Williamson a day off.

Emerson Hancock went six innings
giving up the three runs on  nine hits.
He had eight groundouts to keep
the infield busy. Matt Brash pitched
the 7th followed by Vargas in the
eighth. Munoz did his thing in the.9th. 
Now has 17 saves.

The Mariners have a Saturday 
afternoon game in Houston
with Bryan Woo on the mound.
Hope to continue seeing good 
things from him. Go M's.

Seahawks Linebackers

The Seahawks have listed four
linebackers on the depth chart.
Most likely they will be playing 
three often and occasion four.

The outside linebackers these
days are called edge rushers too.
The two first strings are Demarcus
Lawrence who thr Seahawks 
signed as a free agent and Uchenna
Nwosu. Lawrence played last year
for the Cowboys. Derrick Hall who
will be coming into his third year
is his backup. Boys Mafe will be
Nwosu backup. 

At the inside linebacker spot are 
Ernest Jones IV at middle linebacker
who made a big difference after
being traded from Tennessee and
Tyrice Knight at the weakside linebacker. Knight was a fourth
round pick who played more when
the Seahawks released the other
inside linebackers when Jones 
came aboard. Drake Thomas is
Knight's backup while Josh Ross
for Jones. Both will see a lot of
time on special teams. 

Next time we will look at the
defensive backs. Generally
they go with five in the game.
Go Hawks!

Mariners Lose In Kirby's First Start

Thursday night was the return and
first start of this season for George
Kirby.  He had made three rehab assignments at triple A  Tacoma
so Mariners were hoping for better.

Kirby pitched well first two innings
however gave up two in the third
and three more in the 4th. Kirby
was taken out with two outs in the
4th. The Mariners pitching didn't get 
any better giving up nine runs total.
It didn't matter since the Mariners 
only scored two. 

Being a four game series we hope
the Mariners bounce back on Friday.
Emerson Hancock is scheduled
to pitch. For now Kirby is going
to pitch every six days. How that
works with the others we will
find out.  Bryce Miller is expected
back next week. Logan Gilbert is
throwing too. He is expected to
make a few rehab assignments.

Both Logan Evans and Emerson
Hancock look to be capable pitchers
so what the Mariners do when Miller
and Gilbert are in the rotation things
will be interesting. Stay tuned and
go M's.

Home Runs Help Out Mariners Again

Wednesday afternoon game was
questionable who would win but
the Mariners pulled it out like
they have often all season.

Julio Rodriguez got things going
in the first inning with a three run
homer. He is starting to hit home
runs more frequently.

Cal Raleigh again had a home run.
The question is when he won't
have one. It happened in the 6th
to tie after the White Sox tied
and took the lead in the fourth.
Logan Evans looked good 
besides giving up three home
runs.He was able to go six
innings. 

Again the bullpen did a good job
giving up two hits and a walk overgs three innings and an unearned run.
Again Munoz recorded the save.

Leody Taveras hit a two-run homer
to seal the win in the eighth inning.
It was his first home run since
coming to the Mariners. Taveras
who had struggled at the plate
recently after getting off to a
good start had two hits on the
day.

The Mariners now go Houston
to take on the Astros for four
games. The Astros lost Wednesday
to the Rays. Both them and the
Rangers are three and a half games
behind the Mariners. Playing a
four game series it would be nice
if the Mariners can split the series.

George Kirby is  going to start his 
first game of the season on Thursday.
He will be followed by Emerson Hancock, Bryan Woo and Luis
Castillo. Let's see how the M's do.



Mariners Shut Out Tuesday

The Mariners used the back end
of their bullpen on Tuesday instead
of using a starter however the
hitting wasn't there.

The Mariners were down 1-0
into the eighth inning. They 
got runners on first and 
second before loading the bases.
Julio came up with the bases
loaded like he did on Monday.
In fact he faced the same
reliever as Monday. This time
he flied out.

The Mariners had opportunities
to at least tie the game before
Julio came to the plate. What
I didn't like was the Mariners 
used three pinch hitters in the 
inning. Not right in a row though.
The Mariners are not a good 
pinch hitting team. I don't have
a problem using one in the
game. The odds are against
them in the first place anyway.
I don't care the guy who started
hits from the same side of the
plate as the pitcher. 

The final White Sox 1 M's 0

They have a day game weather
permitting. Logan Evans is 
expected to start. Go M's

Tuesday, May 20, 2025

Seattle Seahawks Defensive Line

The starters on the defensive
line will stay the same as last
season. 

Leonard Williams had a great
season in 2024 and the Seahawks
hope the same in 2025. Williams
is listed as defensive end. Last
years first round pick Byron Murphy ll
didn't have the season as expected
however everyone expect this coming
season will be good. He is listed
as the nose tackle. Both Williams
and Murphy are expected to move
around on the line. One could be
on the inside while the other on
the outside and switch spots.
There will be series where they
won't be in at the same time where
moving around be more expected.

Jarran Reed will be at defensive
tackle so he likely stay same spot
however could change to.

Mike Morris is listed as Williams
backup at defensive end. He
played in 15 games last season.
A fifth round pick in 2023 will
likely see on the outside when
Williams goes inside. Don't
see Williams taking much time
off. Most likely for a breather.
Morris will most likely be in
on passing downs.

The Seahawks brought back
Jonathan Hankins at nose
tackle. He played in all 17
games for the Seahawks 
last season after coming 
over from the Cowboys.

Rylie Mills fifth round pick
out of Notre Same is expected
to be the backup to Reed.
We are sure his rookie year
will be a learning experience.

Next up we will look at the
Seahawks linebackers.
Go team.

Mariners Win Opener In Chicago

Mariners continue with good
pitching in close games until
late when the bats do their job.

Jorge Polanco drove in a Ben
Williamson with a single in the
third inning making it 1-0.
The score stayed that until
the eighth inning when Julio
hit a grand slam home run to
put it out of reach sort of.

Luis Castillo pitched well 
giving up only three his
and no runs. What made it 
real good was he didn't walk
a batter either. Good to see
that. 

Ben Williamson scored on
Julio's home run. In fact he
had three hits on the day.
Now maybe he will hit in
a few more games.

The Mariners brought in
Troy Taylor in the ninth
after Collin Snider did
the 8th. He continues
to struggle giving up
two hits and two walks.
The White Sox got a run
on a hit with the bases
loaded and two outs.
Manager Dan Wilson out
and brought in Andre Munoz
who struck out the last
batter. It looks like Taylor
should go back to Tacoma
to straighten things out. We
will see. 

Casey Lawrence is expected to
start game two on Tuesday
however it is expected to rain 
all day so who knows whether
the game will be player but
since the Mariners have a
day game on Wednesday before
going to Texas they will try to
play it if possible.

The Mariners are now two and a half
games ahead of the Astros who
took two out of three from the
Rangers who are three back over
the weekend. The Astros beat
the Rays Monday 4-3.

Go M's

Mariners Sweep Padres

After having a losing record
in last home series the M's
pitching was outstanding 
along with good hitting.

The final Sunday  Mariners
6-1.  Bryan Woo went seven
innings giving up a home
run early to Fernando Tati's
Jr..  Randy Arozarena tied
with a home run in the 4th
inning and added two more.

Mariners knocked out starter
Michael King in the sixth 
inning when Mitch Garver 
singled in Arozarena. Final
two runs in the ninth driven
by Cal and Julio.

Now the Mariners are off
to Chicago to face the
White Sox for three. Go M's.

Saturday, May 17, 2025

Mariners Take Game Two In San Diego

It wasn't easy for the Mariners and
Padres as it rained much of the game.

The game was pretty tight and Cal
hit amamoth home run late in the
game. Going into the ninth the
Mariners were up by one run.a single
Donovan Solano did a fine job
hitting off a bunch of pitches
before walking. Dylan Moore 
seeing the pitches hit a single 
early to drive in two.runs.
Final Mariners 4  Padres 1

Emerson pitches well though 
getting into some tough situations
and getting them out. Gabe Speier
game in with two outs and runners
on base. He got a tough lefty out.
He pitched the sixth as well. Matt
Brash pitched the seventh. For
the first time Munoz came in the
8th to get the final out then took
care of three hitters in the ninth.

Bryan Woo will start Sunday. 
Against the Yankees he pitched
a close game and a victory. 
Expect this one to be close as
well. We hope the Mariners can
sweep the Padres and then onto
Chicago to face the White Sox 
for three.

The Mariners are now 25-19.
The Rangers at 25-22.
Go M's.




Friday, May 16, 2025

Mariners Beat Padres On the Road

The Seattle Mariners beat the
Padres Friday night 5-1. The 
Padres are second to the
Dodgers in the NL West and
played well at home.

The Mariners only won one
game against the Yankees
in the last home series and
swept by the Blue Jays before
that. The Oakland A's didn't 
win well either. They are now
in fourth place. Rangers and
Astros are ahead of the A's.

Rookie Logan Evans had his
best start going six innings.
He gave up seven hits however
no runs and walked only one 
and struck out four. The Mariners
should have George Kirby soon
and Logan Gilbert shortly after.
Likely Evans will be sent back to
Tacoma but will be available 
if needed again. 

JP Crawford was back in the
lineup after missing Wednesday
game against the Yankees. He
led off the game with a home run.
Rowdy Tellez hit a two-run homer 
in the 4th inning. Cal Raleigh had 
his 14th homer in.the sixth
inning also for two runs. 

The bullpen did a good job.
Collin Snider gave up the
only hit and run from the 
relievers in three innings.
Emerson Hancock starts
Saturday evening for the
Mariners. Be nice if he can
go six innings too. Go.M's.



Seahawks Schedule and the Storm

The Seahawks schedule for this
coming season came out this week.

Interesting is they open up against
the San Francisco 49ers at home.
A bit of a surprise since they usually
don't play until Thanksgiving or after.
They follow playing the Steelers in
Pittsburgh then New Orlean Saints 
and the Cardinals in Arizona for the 
first four games. This will give us 
an idea how good they maybe.
They finish the season with the
Cardinals at home in game nine.
First game against the Rams is
game ten in Los Angeles.

The last game is interesting to
since they play the 49ers in
San Francisco. The schedule
looks easy facing every team
in NFC and AFC south divisions.
I believe the Seahawks will win
ten games again or eleven.
How effective running the ball
will determine how many wins.

The Seattle Storm begins their 
season on Saturday at Phoenix
followed by Monday at Dallas.
They open at home next Friday
against Phoenix. 

We will see how they do in those 
three  games. We wish them the
best.




Mariners Minor League This Week

The Tacoma Rainiers are no
longer in the bottom of the
league though have 17-24 
record and have won three
games in a row heading into
Thursday game. The Angels
triple A team at the bottom.


Second baseman Cole Young
was named player of the week
between May 6 and the 11th.
He hit .455 during that time.
He currently hitting .233.
Harry Ford has done well late
to increasing his average to
.291. He was in the low 200s.
The question is he about ready
to be called up to Seattle we
will see.

At double A Arkansas pitcher 
Adam Seminaris was named 
pitcher of the week for his
performance on May 10 where
he went five innings allowing
two hits and no runs while 
striking out five. The Mariners 
are not allowing starters to go
more than five innings. 

Seminaris is a lefty who is 26
years old and in his fifth year
in the minors. He signed as a
minor league free agent during
the last offseason. He isn't
listed among the Mariners top
30 prospects so he could be
a steal.

 Everett AcquaSox still at the
bottom of the league though
have several top prospects.
Next week let you know how
the guys are doing. 

Modesto Nuts are still at the
top winning at 60 percent clip.
Ryan Sloan number two pick
in last year's draft the former
high school pitcher went four
innings this week and gave up
two runs. His era is currently
at 3.54. He walked a couple 
and struck out four hitters. 

We will let you know Sloan process
will be over the season as well as
others.  

The Mariners will have the third
overall in the upcoming draft.
This should be an outstanding
pick whether a pitcher or s
position player. Go M's.

Seahawks Quarterbacks

It has been quite the offseason 
for the Seahawks especially on
the offense. The 2025-26 season
will look much different.

At quarterback the Seahawks 
dealt Geno Smith to the Las
Vegas Raiders followed by 
signingnfree agent Sam Darnold 
and  reacquiring  Drew Lock just
before the NFL draft. 

During the draft  they select
Alabama quarterback  Jalen
Milroe in the third round.
The Seahawks hadn't drafted
a quarterback since they 
did Russell Wilson also
in the third round.

Milroe has a lot of athletic
ability to be able to run as
well as pass. We could see
Milroe play more than Lock.
There is a good chance he
will be the future starting
quarterback depending on
how well Darnold does. 

Milroe could see some playing
time this coming season 
especially in the redzone.
We could see Milroe and
Darnold in the game at the
same time. 

Next time up we will look at
the defensive line unless
more news comes up. The
unknown right now makes
things real exciting. Go Hawks.

Yankees Edge Mariners

The Mariners  scored early  when Julio
hit a double to score Traveras  early.  
Julio starting  hit more now..

Luis Castillo  pitched well giving up
one run in the sixth inning. Speier
followed by giving up a home run
in the seventh.  Carlos Vargas gave
up a home run to Aaron Judge in the
eighth  for tge victory.  Tough way
to lose the game.

A couple hours before  the  game
 it was announced that Bryce Miller  
who didn't  pitch well in his last
outing was going on the injured list.
He is expected  to  be back at the
end of the 15 days. The Mariners  
brough up Jhonathan Diaz from
Tacoma. The  Mariners having
Thursday  off Diaz will likely  be 
in the bullpen. This will allow the
Mariners  have  nine relievers as
the go play the Padres in San Diego.

After that the Mariners  ho play three
against the White Sox in Chicago 
followed by four against the Astros 
before coming home. The Mariners 
will go likely  with four starters in
the three games against the Padres
and the first against the White Sox.
They will need a fifth starter in the
Astros series. There is a good 
chance that George  Kirby will
be available  in the Astros series.
There is a possibility  Logan Gilbert 
will be available  on the return home. 
Go M's. 


Mariners Win the Eleventh

Bryan  Woo  pitched an outstanding game 
on Tuesday  night going six and a third 
innings giving up no runs  on four hits.

Woo must be the best fastball  pitcher
in the majors. Even Aaron  Judge couldn't 
get hold of it.

The Mariners  led one to nothing  until
the ninth  inning. Julio Rodriguez had
the only run in the game when Cal 
Raleigh hit a double and he scored  
from first base.

The Yankees  scored a run on a throwing 
error by Dylan Moore  when he was moved
to first base. In the bottom  of  the  tenth
they used Rowdy Tellez  to pinch hit with
a runner on third and one out. I  am  not
sure why using him since he is a home run
hitter and he popped up. No run in the 10th.

In the11th inning JP hit in the winning run.
Wednesday  afternoon  will be the  final 
game of the series. Luis Castillo  starts
for the Mariners.  We hope his fastball 
is on. Go M's.

Mariners Lose Fourth Straight

Every team goes through times
of struggle in the season and 
right now they have lost four 
straight.

The trouble hss been their pitching
for the most part and unexpected
at that. Emerson Hancock got
off to a good start giving up a
home run in the third inning.
Julio hit a home run in the first
and Polanco one in the third.

In the fifth inning Hancock 
ended up getting hit hard
and the Yankees scored
six runs including two home 
runs. By the way Aaron Judge 
didn't have one of them. He 
hit the ball hard with two hits.

The Mariners starters of late 
have had trouble getting through
five innings. Don't want to over 
use the bullpen however they
need someone ready in the
fifth inning if necessary.

When George Kirby and Logan
Gilbert are back I suggest to
have Emerson Hancock in the
bullpen. He would be the long
reliever who can go at least 
a couple of innings. 

Final Yankees 11 Mariners 5

Bryan Woo starts on Tuesday
night. We hope for a rebound
from him. He is good at that.
Go M's.

Mariners Swept

The Mariners took series Toronto
however this series in Seattle the
Blue Jays swept the Mariners.
Sunday the Mariners lost 9-1.

The Mariners were not into any of 
the games as far as winning.
Every team games through this
in the season at some point.
Now we hope they can bounce
back. Emerson Hancock
will start on Monday for the M's.

The only run the Mariners had 
was by Dylan Moore with a solo
home run. What I don't understand
is why Leo Rivas didn't start a
game in the series when he has
made a big difference. In game
one he pinch run for Arozarena
and then Sunday game they
had him pitch the 9th. In this
case they should never us an
infielder to pitch. The game
should end right there.

Bryce Miller started out well
however ended giving up
seven runs in five innings.
He gave up a three-run home
run to George Springer. The
announcers said his fastball
went only 92 miles per hour.
What are the Mariners going
to do about him.

Go M's.


Mariners Lose Game 2

It hss been a while since the Mariners 
have lost game two in a series  and now 
they have snapped  a  series winning 
streak at nine. Now they will  have  to 
start a new one. It won't  be  easy  since
they face the NY Yankees  on Monday.

Sunday the Mariners  will avoid a sweep.  
They have done well against the Blue
Jays in recent years. Saturday  they lost
6-3. 

Logan Evans started out well. He didn't 
give up a run until the fifth inning when
he gave up two. The Mariners  had already 
scored their three runs so had the lead still.
Evans gave up another run in the sixth
then left the game without getting an out.

A youngster like Evans my opinion they
should have taken him out after the fifth
since he had the lead. I know they don't 
want to over use the bullpen.  Like using
Bryan Woo  last season  they had to use
an extra reliever in his starts. 

George Kirby  Saturday  night did another
rehab assignment  in Tacoma. Kirby went
three and struck out five. We know when
he is ready to be activated Evans will be
sent back to Tacoma. 

Carlos Vargas  who pitched the eighth
inning for the  Mariners  gave up the
final three runs for the Blue Jays. He
has pitched well  in relief however the
eighth inning doesn't  seem to be the 
spot. The Mariners  don't  really have
someone to pitch the eighth in except
maybe lefty Gabe Speier. In fact he
came in the sixth  inning followed by
Matt Brash in the seventh who could 
have pitched the eighth inning. Next
time have Vargas come in the sixth
where he has been more successful. 

Bryce Miller  starts Sunday  for the 
Mariners. As of late he is another
one whose innings need to be 
watched. Hopefully  we will see
a victory.  Go M's.

Friday Night Loss By Mariners

Mariners continued losing most
of the first games than coming 
back to win the series in the
other ones. We hope the trend
continues.

Luis Castillo struggled giving
up two runs in the first and three
in third. He went five innings.
The Mariners bullpen did a good 
job keeping them in the game.

The Mariners scored a run in
the third and two in the sixth.
They had opportunities to
score more however couldn't
do it. Julio and Arozarena each
had two hits so a good sign.

Final  score  Toronto 6 Seattle  3

Now the Mariners  have  lost
reliever Trent  Thornton to the
injured  list  with appendicitis.
Rough going for the  Mariners. 

Logan  Evans expected to start 
Saturday  night. Go M's

Seattle Mariners Minor League Report

The Mariners Everett Aquasox shows
not only a talented group but a few
that could end up superstars in a
Mariners uniform.

Outfielder and designated hitter
Lazaro Montes last weekend hit
two runs to make seven on the
season already. He was named
Northwest League player of the
week for the second time. His
home run total leads the league 
too.

Colt Emerson is the Mariners top
pick two years ago is now hitting
.264 and had his first two home 
runs of the season recently. As
tge season goes by his average
should go up. Tai Peete who was
another first round and moved from
short to center field is hitting
.259 and has four home runs on
the season.

Last year's first round pick pitcher
Jurrangelo Cijntje who can throw
both right and left handed. Recently
Mariners President Jerry Dipoto
said that he has dominated at
Everett throwing from the right
side however not so much from
the left. Right now he will pitch
only right handed. At a later date
he could pitch left again  if his 
velocity goes up. 

Low A Modesto who got off to
hot start is now 19-10 and still
in first place. Shortstop Felnin
Celesten average has gone 
down to .314. He has two
home runs and third with 20
RBIs on the team. This team 
doesn't hit a lot of home runs.

Ryan Sloan number two pick
last year has started five
time however only pitched 
sixteen innings. Sloan has
given up only one home run.
He has only walked five
batters while striking out 19.

Double A Arkansas has had
trouble lately going 3-7 in
the last ten games though
they are 16-12 on the season.

The Travelers are not a home
run hitting team either. Outfielder
Victor Labrada leads with a .289
average and three home runs.

They have some good starting
pitching along with bullpen.
If the Mariners need relieving 
help then could dip down
to double A.

The Tacoma Rainiers continue
to struggle by record being now
at 12-23. The Mariners have had
to make some moves both in
position players and pitching.
Both Ben Williamson and Leo
Rivas have helped the Mariners
since being called up.  Williamson 
has done well where he will be
playing third base most of the
time. Jorge Polanco who is hitting
very well will be at dh and second
base mostly though he could see a time on rare occasions at third.

Rhylan Thomas who made a few
starts in the Mariners outfield
doing a fine job was sent back
to Tacoma when the Mariners 
acquire Leody Traveras from the
Texas Rangers. This shows the
Mariners have depth. They returned
Samad Taylor back when Dylan
Moore was activated.

Dominic Canzone has hit recently
raiding his average for the Rainiers306 and has six home runs to . Harry Ford
and Cole Young are hitting well 
though not getting much results.
Ben Williamson showing his Tacoma
results were a big thing coming to
Seattle. Ford is catching a little more
frequent than starting the season.Young has played more
games than any Rainier player.

The pitching I would say is why
the Rainers are not doing well. 
Logan Evans was promoted
and not much else in starting.
Mariners hope Troy Taylor can
correct himself at Tacoma.

We will give another report next 
week.





Seahawks Wide Receivers

When the last season and the
Seahawks decided to go to
another offensive coordinator
they went another direction
in the offense as well.

The Seahawks decided to
go with a more running 
offense and going to start
with two wide receivers 
instead of three. Also to
bring in a fullback as well.

The Seahawks decided to
release long time receiver
Tyler Lockett who is second
in many career records at
wide receiver behind Seahawks
hall of famer Steve Largent.
Lockett eventually signed with
the Tennessee Titans to continue
his NFL career. Also DK Metcalf
asked to be traded which he
ended up with the Pittsburgh 
Steelers. Jaxon Smith-Njigba
a first round pick in 2023 draft
is the only remaining starter.

Right after Metcalf the Seahawks
quarterback Geno Smith demanded
a trade too and joined former coach
Pete Carroll with the Las Vegas 
Raiders.

Seahawks signed former Rams
receiver Cooper Kupp along
with Marques Valdes-Scantling
and River Cracraft. Jake Bobo 
who the Seahawks signed as
undrafted college free agent
has been the fourth receiver.

The Seahawks drafted Tory
Horton this year in the 5th
round as well as Ricky White III
in the seventh round. They
have a few other receivers
vying for a spot. How many
receivers they may keep on
the active roster this coming
season it is hard to know 
right now. A guess would
be four or five along with
a couple on the practice
squad.

Since the Seahawks will go
with 24 or 25 offensive players
there are not a lot open spaces.
We will see how it works.
Go Hawks!

Mariners Win Another Series

The Mariners continue winning
series however Wednesday game
wasn't easy like any of them.

At least one thing is the Mariners
are winning close games this 
season. This one was amazing
since the A's are playing as well
too. The Mariners and A's could
be the top two teams in the AL
West division this year if things
keep going as is. Both may make
it to the playoffs and they both
be difficult on the other teams.
We will see.

Bryan Woo who has pitched
well against the A's didn't have
his best stuff in this one. He
was able to go six innings and
gave up all five the team's runs.
Be Williamson hit a double in
the fifth to bring in the first run.
In the six inning Rowdy Tellez
hit a three run homer to put
the team within one run. The
guy has shown his power 
recently and why he made
the team out of spring training.

In the 8th inning newly required
outfielder Leody Taveras hit his
first sing with the Mariners after
they picked him up from Texas
scoring Miles Mastrobuoni.  
Dylan Moore hit a double to
score and put the Mariners
ahead. Final 6-5 the Mariners.

The Mariners stay at this rate
for the season they have at 
least 98 wins. The most by far
since 2001.

The Seattle Mariners start a
series at home on Friday
against the Toronto Blue 
Jays. As we know the
Blue Jays will have fans
coming down from
the north. The way that
Cal Raleigh and the gang
have done recently against
this team it could be a lot
of fun. The Mariners will 
play the Yankees next after
that. This could be the highest
attendance home stand of
the season or at least until
September anyway.  

Luis Castillo who pitched 
outstanding in his last
outing will start on Friday.
Go M's. 





Tuesday, May 6, 2025

Mariners Late Rally Win

Tuesday night was another close
game between the Seattle Mariners
and the A's. 

Cal Raleigh for the first time on the
season didn't start a game whether
catcher or dh. The Mariners knew
they could use him if necessary
late in the game.

This happened in the ninth inning
with the bases loaded and down
by a run Cal Raleigh came in and
pinch hit for Mitch Garver. He hit
a single to right field scoring two
runs. Dylan Moore who was activated
off the injured list added another
run to make a two run lead which
was the final score 5-3.

Emerson Hanock started the game
and was able to go six innings giving
up two runs. Matt Brash came in
the seventh getting two.outs. Gabe
Speier finished the inning however
gave up the go ahead ahead run at
the time. Collin Snider pitched the
eighth. Carlos Vargas pitched the
ninth recording his first save.

In a surprise move the Mariners
acquired outfielder Leody Traveras
off waivers from the Texas Rangers.
Not sure he will be available available available or not he will be in Seattle
for the series against Toronto.
Go M's.

Mariners Lose In Extra Innings

The Seattle Mariners lost opening game Monday night in Sacramento
against the A's in eleven innings
7-6. 

The A's scored first with a run in
the first and second innings. The
Mariners had a rally scoring four 
runs in the third. Bryce Miller couldn't hold the lead giving up two runs in
the fourth for a tie. Miller has 
struggled in the last few of his starts.
He left after the fourth inning having
thrown 94 pitches.

The A's scored a run in the seventh
and Mariners responded in the 8th
inning. Both teams scored a run 
in the 10th. Mariners didn't in the
top of the 11th. Seattle manager
Dan Wilson decided to walk two 
batters intentionally in the 11th
however the A's were able to get
a single to win the game.

Dan Wilson took the blame for
intentional walks backfiring.
Ben Williamson continues
playing good defense at third
and he had a couple more hits
in the game. Rowdy Tellez is
starting to hit as he had two
hits in the game raising his
average to .211. JP Crawford
continues to do well having
two hits and two walks at the
top of the lineup.

Emerson Hancock has done
well recently starts Tuesday
night's game. We hope it
continues as the team has
responded in second games
of a series after losing the
first one. 

With the loss the Mariners are
one game ahead of the A's.

George Kirby had his first rehab
assignment on Sunday and
responded well going three
innings and giving up just one
hit. He is expected to have
two more. Logan Gilbert is
doing well in recovery too.
Not sure whether he will
take a rehab assignment or
not. We should see both of
them back near the end of
May as long as no set backs.
Go M's.

Seahawks Tight Ends

Adding a fullback position it
will be interesting to see
whether the Seahawks carry
three or even four tight ends
The team seem they might be interchangeable between full
back and  tight end.

Noah Fant right now is listed
as the starting tight end. I 
have heard from different
sources the Seahawks could
unload him. The Seahawks
acquired him in the Russell
Wilson trade and he is the
only tight end remaining
since then. The cap number
is the reason to unload him.

AJ Barber drafted in the fourth
round last year is listed second.
He is known for his blocking and
catching ability. Elijah Arroyo
drafted in gge second round is
at three right now however he
could move.

Next we will look at the Seahawks
wide receivers. The Seahawks look
to start two receivers and go with
a third on occasion. The Seahawks
had some changes at wide receiver
during the offseason. Go Hawks!

Sunday Lose Ends Mariners win streak

The first couple innings on Sunday's
the game looked like it might be
much like Saturday game being low
scoring however didn't happen.

The Mariners scored first in the third 
inning when Rivas singled and went
to third when JP Crawford singled.
Jorge Polanco hit a grounder to
second with Crawford running so
the Rangers couldn't come up
with a double play that would have
ended the inning so Rivas scored.

The bottom of the third the Rangers 
batted around on Logan Evans and
coming around for six runs. That
can happen going with  a pitcher
making only his second start.
Evans ended up going five innings
and giving up eleven hits and the
six runs. The Rangers added two
more runs in the eight inning.
Final Rangers 8 Mariners 1

The Mariners are now off to 
Sacramento to play three 
again the A's beginning Monday.
Bryce Miller will start Monday.
Go M's.

Mariners Win Again

Saturday evening the Mariners
beat the Rangers in Texas 2-1.
This another series win for the
Mariners.

JP Crawford led the game off
with a home run. The Rangers
tied it in the fourth when Corey
Seager tied it. He came off the
injured list.

The Mariners had plenty of hits 
with ten total however trouble
bringing more home.

The Rangers started a lefty
so Jorge Polanco didn't
start the however got a double
leading off the ninth which
included hustle to get in.
Polanco pinch hit for first
baseman Solano. Ben Williamson
hit a grounder to second base
to move  Polanco to third. 
Rowdy Tellez pinch hit for
Leo Rivas who had a good game 
at the plate including his first
double of the season. I expect
Tellez was up for his power 
however hit to a single to center
to win the game.

Luis Castillo had another quality
start going six innings giving up
the one run on four hits. It will
be important for noe that Castillo
continues well since Kirby and
Gilbert are on the injured list.
Kirby though is going to make
a rehab assignment on Sunday.
He may make three of them 
before being activated. Gilbert
might be back at the end of
May.

Matt Brash  was activated before
the game. Troy Taylor  was sent
to Tacoma to get things more
straighten out. We hope to see
him again before May is over.
Matt came in the seventh inning.
He gave up a hit however struck
out a Ranger too. I  am  sure  will
watch out how many times they
use him.

Gabe Speier  pitched the eighth
followed by Andre Munoz  which
is a good receipe. This his 12th
save without giving up a run on
the season. 

Logan Evans will make his second
start for the Mariners on Sunday
to see if they can sweep  it. 

The Mariners  are now 20-12. Only
the Detroit  Tigers have more wins
then the Mariners  in the  American 
League with 21. The Yankees lost
to Rays Saturday  have 19. The
Mariners have a three game lead
over the Astros and A's  in the
division.  Go M's  




Friday, May 2, 2025

Woo Does it Again

Bryan Woo has to be one of
the best starting pitchers in
the major leagues.

Friday night Woo went six
and one-thirds innings. He
was pitching a perfect game
into the fifth inning when
he gave up his only hit.
Woo didn't allow a walk and
struck out eight Rangers.
This is a good way to start 
a road trip.

Final was  Mariners 13  Rangers 1

It looked like after four innings 
this could be a tight game.  Cal
Raleigh hit a solo home run
that inning. Cal wasn't done he
hit a grand slam in the fifth 
inning. Amazing thing he had
two strikes before taking two
balls then the home run.

Maybe with warmer weather
Julio will get hot too. He hit
a two-run homer in the sixth
inning. Julio batted third 
between Polanco and Cal.
Every starter got at least
one hit and most had 
multiple hits.

Rhylan Thomas who made 
his major league debut with
the Mariners had his first
a double in his second at bat.
He scored his first run on
Cal's grand slam. Later he 
drove in a  run on a sacrifice fly
and another on a ground out.

The Mariners were allowed to
rest Andre Munoz once again.
Munoz was named AL reliever
for the month of April.

Luis Castillo will start Saturday
against the Rangers. If he
pitches like he did in his last
outing the Mariners have a
great shot at winning another
game. Go M's.

The Washington Huskies had 
their spring game Friday night.
The Gold team won. I don't
take a lot out of it since a lot
of guys played. We should
see whether they lick up
any players in the transfer
portal. Go Dawgs!







Seahawks Running Backs

The Seahawks have started new
as far as the running game goes.
It doesn't mean we won't see the
passing game as much however
in a different way. In fact if the
Seahawks running game is more
effective it will make the passing
game more effective.

So during the offseason there has
been rumors that starting running
back Kenneth Walker III was going 
to be traded. One of the teams he
was going to was the Las Vegas
Raiders. Even being traded during
the draft was mentioned which 
didn't happen.

As all Seahawks know Walker has
had a hard time staying healthy
and missing several games a season.
Walker has been known to be one
the top backs in the NFL. The trouble
has been the offensive line when he
has been healthy. Another issue 
could be Geno Smith since he seemed
like throwing the ball a lot. Now that
he Isn't here that should change.

The Seahawks still have Zach 
Charbonnet who was drafted in
the second round the year after
Walker was. To keep Walker 
healthy splitting the carries 
between the two would be a
good idea. They are different 
type of runners as well. 

The Seahawks have Kenneth
McIntosh who was drafted two
years ago in the seventh round.
He hasn't had a lot of carries.
Any players drafted in the
seventh round I am sure has 
some weakness too.

This draft the Seahawks got
another running back in the
seventh round in Damien 
Martinez who played last
year at Miami after transfer
from Oregon State. He will
be competition for the third
running  back with McIntosh. 

The Seahawks  drafted a fullback
in the fifth round last week. He is
Robbie Ouzts from Alabama.
He played tight end in college.
The Seahawks felt that he would
be perfect at fullback and he listed
first string on the depth chart
already.

Brady Russell who was listed at
tight end for two seasons with
the Seahawks primarily on special
teams was switched over to full
back before the draft. He is listed
as the second fullback right now.

We will get into the tight end
position next time unless the
Seahawks have other pressing
news. We could see Ouzts and
Russell in the game at the same 
time with one being second tight
end and the other at fullback.
Go Hawks.

Seahawks Thursday

Now that hss been a week since 
the NFL draft I liked the look of
the Seahawks much better.
Look first at the offensive line
which was the biggest need.

The first round the Seahawks
drafted Greg Zabel out of North
Dakota State. His college career
he has played center, guard and 
most recently left tackle. The
Seahawks already have Charles 
Cross at left tackle and agreed
on his fifth year. Left guard is
considered the top position on
the offensive line. So at this
moment the thought is to improve
left guard in which Zabel is expect
to begin his career.

Being the starting left guard at the
moment doesn't mean he will stay
at the position. Center has been
a problem in most recent seasons
for the Seahawks. Former Alabama
coach Nick Saban said after Zabel 
was picked by the Seahawks center
could be his best position. Where 
Zabel ends up will depend on how
things work out on the whole line.

Abraham Lucas who was drafted
in 2022 in the third round where
Cross was taken in the first has 
had trouble staying healthy the
last couple seasons. There is a
thought that he could from right
tackle to right guard. If that happens
there are several candidates to
take over right tackle. We will
look at a later time if the Seahawks
consider it.

Currently Anthony Bradford is listed
as the starting right guard. He was
drafted in the fourth round in 2023.
Last year the Seahawks drafted 
Christian Haynes in the third round
to take over the spot however he
wasn't able to. This year the Seahawks
drafted Bryce Cabeldue in the sixth
round. At this point it is Bradford job
to loose unless Lucas is put into the
position.

We most likely won't know how things
will settle along the offensive line
until fall. The rookies have camp going
on so how much they impress may
help a little. They will have a few
mini camps during  offseason so
how things work out may happen.

The Seahawks will be having a new
offense so it will come down likely
to who can block the best for the
running game.

Next up we will look at the Seahawks
running back group. If any other news 
comes up on them we will let you
know.  Go Hawks!










Mariners Another Loss At Home
