Mariners Win Sunday

The Seattle  Mariners  were able to come 

from behind Sunday afternoon in Cleveland .

Final Seattle  4  Cleveland 2

The Mariners  blew game one and the

Guardians  were able to win again

Saturday  evening  where the  Mariners 

tried to come from behind.

Sunday t get were able to and the Guardians 

didn't  have a big lead either. Bryce Miller 

pitching his best game of the game gave

up two runs on a homer in the  third. They

were the hits and runs that Bryce gave up

the day.  He walked one batter while striking

out 3.

Randy Arozarena  who is the second best

hitter on the  Mariners  to Cal Raleigh tied

the  game in the 5th with a two run homer.

It was his 26th  home run..

In tge 7th had a infield  hit scoring JP 

Crawford  who had two his on the day

and Cole Young with two outs. JP

and Cole were on second and third.

Gabe Speier  pitched  the  7th and got 

all three lefties followed by Matt Brash 

and Andre Munoz. No hits against tge

Mariners  three leverage pitchers. 

The Mariners  are now onto Tampa Bay 

to take on the Rays. The  Mariners swept

tge Rays in Seattle. Be nice if they could

sweep them there too. Go M's!

Cougars and Huskies Both Win

The Washington State Cougars were not

very impressive in their season opener

at home against Idaho. 

Final WSU 13 Idaho 10

The Cougars scored their lone touchdown 

in the first half. Heading into the 4th 

quarter the Cougars were ahead 10-0

then the Vandals scored twice to tie.

The Cougars won the game with a field

goal with three seconds remaining.

The Cougars had no running game.

Kirby Vorhees led with 19 yards on 

six carries so the passing game was 

it. Be a long season for the Cougars

if they don't improve that part of the

game.

A surprise Jaxon Potter redshirt

sophomore Jaxon Potter. Going

into the game he was listed second 

on the depth chart. Potter completed

23 of 30 passes for 208 yards. Ok

amount however not what the Cougars

are used to. Offensively they will need

to go back to the drawing board.

Idaho primarily ran the ball against the

Cougars successfully by quarterback

Joshua Wood. He carried the ball 12

times for 101 yards. He completed 12

passes as well out of 20 attempts for

measley 33 yards. We could say the

Cougars have a good pass defense 

at this point.

Next Saturday they will host San Diego

State. They will their opener Thursday 

night 42-0. 

The Washington Huskies beat Colorado 

State  in their first meeting ever 38-21.

The Huskies scored first after winning

the coin toss and decided to let the Rams

receive first. The first touchdown was by

running back Jonah Coleman who took it

in for 26 yards.  In total Coleman ran

for 177 yards and a second touchdown.

The Rams tied on their second possession.

The score was tied at halftime 14-14.

A turnover by the Huskies at the end of 

the first half. 

The Huskies took care of business in

the second half.  Their run defense 

wasn't good in the first half as has 

been a problem for several seasons. 

They did turn it around in the second

half as the Rams ran for a minus six

yards. The Huskies resemble the

second half defense the rest of the

season they will be hard to beat.

They shutout the Rams in the fourth

quarter after giving up a touchdown

in the third quarter.

Huskies sophomore quarterback Demond

Williams Jr. making only his third career

start threw 24 passes while 18  for 226

yards. He also ran the ball 13 times for

68. His threat of running the ball will

help the Huskies during the season. 

With Jonah Coleman being the primary 

running back it will be important when

they face the physical teams in the Big

Ten. 

Denzel Boston the Huskies number one

receiver caught five passes for 92 yards

and a touchdown for 12 yards in the 

third quarter. 

Next Saturday night the Huskies play

UC Davis at home again.  They won

their season open Saturday 31-24

over Utah Tech. 

Go Dawgs!

Mariners Lose Again On Saturday

The Cleveland Guardians beat the

.Mariners once again. Not a great

way to start a road trip. 

Logan Gilbert pitched well though gave 

up a home run before leaving after six

innings.  Score Guardians 3 Mariners 0

The Mariners went 14 innings before

scoring once again and it was a solo 

home run by Jorge Polanco who hit

a two-run homer in the first inning

Friday night.

Randy Arozarena started the game with

a double however no one could bring him.

The Mariners were able to record three 

Zruns however came up short with

the Guardians scoring another run.

The Mariners went guiltily in the 9th

inning.

I can't believe a team can go into a funk

like the Mariners do. It is like when Labor

Day comes they don't often enough. They 

will probably get hot again and miss the 

playoffs by one game. I don't want to

think negative however this what this 

team does. Let's see if they can find

a way to win on Sunday. Go M's. 

Mariners Lose Late

The Seattle Mariners look like they

would win easily scoring four runs

in the first inning. Include was a 

two-run homer by Jorge Polanco. 

George Kirby pitched into the seventh

inning. When he left he gave up two 

runs. I would have taken him out 

after the Guardians hit a home run

in the sevent however that is me.

When taking out the starter is a

hard  thing for the Mariners. It wasn't 

the reason they lost the offense 

were shutout after the first.

Late in the game  Arozarena  hit a

ball where he was thrown out at

third. Not sure why the Mariners 

were  not able to have the play to be

reviewed. On the broadcast that 

the third baseman blocking third

can't be reviewed. Why that was 

brought up I  don't understand. 

The Guardians won in the bottom 

if the 9th off of Munoz. Very disappointing 

for sure. Saturday have to go after it

again. Now have to win two games in a 

row. 

Final Guardians  5 Mariners 4

This Year's Look At Washington Huskies In NFL Part 1

The Washington Huskies alumni will

be watching the Atlanta Falcons a lot

now that Michael Penix Jr..is the

starting Quarterback in second year 

in the NFL. We are hoping a lot of him.

It will be interesting whether he will

be protected right or not. Veteran 

right tackle Kaleb McGary was injured

in the final preseason game so we will 

season. He to was drafted out of UW;

he is going to miss at least half the

season.

Edger rusher Braden Trice was looking 

to play this year for the Falcons  howevey6 itr 

he was placed on the injured list once. 

At this point he is looking to miss four

games starting out. 

Arizona Cardinals 

Andre Baccelia is still trying to make it 

on NFL roster however he was resigned

by the Cardinals to the practice squad.

Will he be able to play this year. Safety

Budda Baker .continues to be a pro bowler 

and member of the Cardinals.

Baltimore Ravens 

Roger Rosengarten drafted last year in

the second round  will be starting right

tackle As a rookie he started 14 games.

Buffalo Bills 

Taylor Rapp safety will begin his third

season with the Buffalo Bills after four

years with the Los Angeles Rams.

Shaq Thompson signed as a free agent 

after ten seasons with Carolina where

he was a starter. The last two years Shaq

only playing in six games because of 

injuries. With the Bills he will be a

reserve at linebacker. As a veteran he

will give leadership. We wish Shaq 

a healthy season.

Chicago Bears

Rome Odunze one of the top Huskies 

all time receivers who was on the team 

that played in the national championship 

team in 2023 season was drafted last year

in the top ten in the first round. With a new

coaching staff we hope for a break out

season.

Kyler Gordon nickel back starter was drafted

by the Bears in 2022 in second round so will

be his fourth season. He has average 14

games per season. We hope to see him 

play in all 17 games.

Cincinnati Bengals 

Jake Browning will be the backup QB

once again. 

Drew Sample will be the second tight

end. Mainly known for his blocking

he will catch a pass on occasion too.

Jaxson Kirkland offensive lineman

signed as an undrafted free agent

in 2023 played only two games last

year because of injuries was signed

to the practice squad.

Cleveland Browns 

Joe Tryon-Shoyinka defensive end

signed as a free agent this year

after being with Tampa Bay. He is

the backup to all pro Myles Garrett.

We likely see him in every three series

it so depending on how the Browns are

playing.

Edufuan Ulofoshio linebacker was in

camp with the Buffalo Bills however

when waived he was signed to the

Browns practice squad.

Denver Broncos 

Luke Wattenberg drafted in 2022 by the

Broncos took some time to play however

now he is the starting center. The only 

former Husky on Denver. 

Detroit Lions 

defensive tack Levi Onwuzurike is out 

for the season  after having surgery for his torn ACL.  Levi has had history of injuries. 

We hope for a speedy recovery and rehab

where he will be back in 2026.

Ezekiel Turner veteran linebacker and

standout special teams injured his

achilles in the final preseason game.

Not sure how much time he will be out.

Houston Texans

Myles Bryant who began his NFL career

with the New England Patriots was just

waived by the Texans. The defensive back

we will see where he lands. 

It is too bad so many former Huskies

are hurt. Let you know who is else 

is in the NFL in the next round.

Go Dawgs!

Preview Idaho at Washington State

The Washington State Cougars play host

to the Idaho Vandals Saturday evening

in Pullman at 7 pm.  The game will be

nationally televised on the CW.

Even as a Husky fan you can watch the

first hour before their game starts.

The Cougars are favored by 9.5 points. 

That is close in this series. The Cougars

have won ten straight over the Vandals.

The two teams haven't played since

September 2022. The last time Idaho

won was 2000 so been sometime.

The Cougars have a new head coach

in Jimmy Rogers coming from South 

Dakota State. The Cougars have 70

new players as well so have to learn 

new players.  So this game will see 

how good are the Cougars going to 

be.

In the season they will be favored

in several games especially early 

on. After that it is a toss up for most 

of the games at this point. 

The Vandals will have a new quarterback 

in Joshua Wood a transfer from Fresno 

State. Nate Thomas takes over as the

leading running back. The Cougars coaching 

staff are familiar with him since they 

faced him in 2021 when he played for

South Dakota. He has been around for 

a while it looks. 

On defense the Vandals have lost their

top six tacklers so the Cougars could 

have a field day offensively.

This should be in entertaining game.

At least we hope so anyway. Go Cougs!

Mariners Win Wednesday

The Seattle Mariners took the series 

winning game three in another one

run game. Final Mariners 4 Padres 3

The big hit of the game was another

three-run homer by Eugenio Suarez 

for the second straight game. This

put the Mariners up 4-0 then the Padres 

fought back. A tough series against a 

good team.  

Bryan Woo didn't make it through six

innings for the first time on the season.

He got two outs though.  Munoz gave up 

a run in the 9th however came through 

other wise. 

The Mariners called up Emerson Hancock 

before the game. He didn't see action on Wednesday. Keep him feel good out in the 

bullpen. Go M's.

Mariners Lose By One

Tuesday evening loss for the Mariners 

was a tough one to swallow. Luis Castillo 

got off to a rough start giving up five

runs in the first inning. At least he was 

able to get through undamaged after 

that. Personally I think if the Mariners 

can trade him during the off-season 

it would be fine to me. He and Bryan 

Woo have been the only ones who have

been healthy all season long though

Castillo's fastball hasn't been where

it should be. 

In the fifth inning the Mariners were able 

two get two three-run homers from 

Randy Arozarena and Eugenio Suarez 

however that was short lived as the

Padres scored twice in the top of the

sixth inning. The Mariners had their

opportunities however could find a

way to score at least one run to tie

and another to win. 

The Mariners bullpen did a good job 

from the seventh inning on  to give

a fighting chance. Now it is important 

to go out and win Wednesday before 

heading out on the road. 

Final Padres 7 Mariners 6

The Houston Astros were beaten 

by Colorado on Tuesday 6-1 at home.

The Mariners didn't lose any ground.

The Astros are up by one and a half 

games. They have three more wins

on the road than the Mariners for

the disaster the Mariners had on their

last one. A decent road trip the Mariners 

would be in first place.  

Coming up the Mariners start a new 

road trip at Cleveland for three to

end August. Hope to take two out

of three.  Starting September 1st 

they play three at Tampa Bay and

three at Atlanta before coming 

back home.  It is important the

Mariners take at least 5 out of nine

though six would be better. Can't 

afford another disaster road trip.

This will tell us whether the playoffs 

is still there.  Go M's.

Preview Colorado State at Washington

The Washington Huskies begin their season 

this coming Saturday night at home against

the Colorado State Rams.

This will be the second season in the

Big Ten for the Huskies while Rams

are in their final season in the Mountain

West Conference.  

The Rams are expected to be in the

middle of the mountain West while the Huskies about the same in Big Ten.

The Huskies should win the game

however we hope the Rams will give

them a good show. The first game 

is usually against a lighter team

unless two teams are showing off

in front of a national audience.

Last year the Rams were 6-1 in

the conference while 8-5 overall.

A reason they will probably lose to 

the Huskies. Bosie State is figured 

to win again and is ranked #23

nationally. 

The Huskies and the Rams have

never played against each other

before. Right now the Huskies 

are favored by 22.5 points. 

Last year the Rams ran the ball

35 times a game for an average

of 4 7 yards per carry. The passed 

30 times completing 60 percent.

This will be good for the Huskies

in first game since they have a 

lot of new players on the defense

side. Let us see how good they are.

The last several years teams have 

been able run on them. We hope 

to see improve there.

The Rams are lead offensively by

quarterback junior Brayden Fowler-

Nicolosu who had 14 touchdowns 

thrown and nine interceptions.

He isn't known to run the ball often.

On average three and a half times

per game. Gaining 1.7 per carry. 

Offense they have three wide receivers

like the Huskies. They have three transfers

on offense at wide receiver, tight end and 

right guard starting who are all seniors.

Five as backups. On defense they have

five transfers transfer. Like the Huskies 

two are at linebacker. Also five on the

second team.

The game begins Saturday night at 8 pm

Pacific time and can be watched on the

Big Ten Network.  Go Dawgs 

Seahawks Trim Their Roster

Tuesday was the day the Seahawks 

had to get down to 53 man roster.

Some moves were a surprise for the team.

Include are 11 rookies making the team.

The Seahawks released veteran wide 

receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

They signed him as a free agent during 

the offense season.

They going to have 27 offensive and 23

defensive players.

Six wide receivers including Dareke Young

and Cody White who were questionable 

whether they were making it or not. The

four backup receivers will be playing

special teams. 

The Seahawks are serious about running 

the ball having four tight ends and two

fullbacks. Undrafted free agent Nick Kallerup

was the fourth tight end.

Guard Christian Haynes wasn't expected 

to make it however he was placed on IR.

Safety Jerrick Reed LL was waived on defense. He could be on the practice 

squad. Seahawks waived 25 players 

and 17 could be added to the practice 

squad.

Seahawks can make some more moves 

tomorrow so we see what happens..

Mariners Offense Alive Again

Monday night for the second game

the Seattle Mariners offense came 

alive. It all began with another Cal 

Raleigh home run in the first inning.

Now Cal has 50 home runs on the 

season. Each time he hits one will

be a new record in major league 

baseball. It will not be just for being

a catcher it could be for any position 

at some point. The Mariners offense 

is feeding off what Cal starts in the 

these last two games.

Bryce Miller who made his second 

start after injured list gave up three

home runs in the second inning.

Jorge Polanco who was the Mariners 

hitting star on the night hit a two-run 

home run in the second inning to

within one run.

In the 4th inning the Mariners were 

able to load the bases with no outs.

JP Crawford hit into a double play

however the Mariners were able to 

tie it. The 5th inning the Mariners had 

their big inning making the difference.

The Mariners scored five runs which

included a double by Polanco who had

three hits on the night four rbis.

The Mariners didn't score again however

scored nine runs being enough to win.

The four runs that Miller gave up in the

second were all he did. He was able to

go five innings before Caleb Ferguson 

came in and pitched a solid sixth inning.

The Mariners bullpen after Ferguson 

gave up a couple runs so could say

bend but not break. Bazardo gave

up a home run in the seventh. Matt 

Brash gave up two hits and a walk

in the 8th however no runs scored.

The Padres scored a run in  9th 

off of Andre Munoz.

Final Mariners 9 Padres 6

The Mariners will be good if the

offense can continue be consistent 

in scoring runs.  Emerson Hancock 

continues to throw out of the pen

in Tacoma. The Mariners hope it 

works out Hancock can contribute 

out of the pen when they can add

him on September 1st roster call

up. He could end up being another

Matt Brash who started out as a

starter.  They have to see how often 

he can come out of the pen. At this

point I would call it a success if he

does it once or twice a week. The 

Mariners can use him as a long 

reliever if necessary for a couple 

innings.  Go M's. 

The Seahawks have to make their 

cuts by 1 pm Pacific time on Tuesday 

down to the 53 man roster. After that

they can make their practice squad

for those not picked up by another

team.  The roster is pretty set however

we will see if any surprises happen.

Go Hawks!

Cal Set's Record Mariners Win

Sunday Cal Raleigh set the all-time 

record for home runs for a catcher 

with two in.his first two at bats of

the game. Now he has 49 on the 

season. It is possible we could see 

him hit at least 60 on the season.

The offense certainly differently 

than Saturday night when they 

had only three hits. The Mariners 

showed what  they are capable of.

They had all eleven runs in the

first three innings 

Logan Gilbert started and had 13

strike outs in six innings. Logan 

had a tough outing in his last one

that it was a good feeling. Also

Logan and  Cal came up together 

in the minors and were drafted 

in same year. Logan in the first

round and Cal in the third.

The Mariners start a series Monday 

against the Padres at home with

three. We see how things go. We

hope to see his 50th at least. 

Go M's.

Mariners Lose Extra Innings

When you need to score and win games

the Mariners are not doing so

George Kirby was able to get through

six innings giving up just one run.

The trouble was the Mariners had only 

three  hits.  One was a home run 

by Randy Arozarena that tie it.

The Mariners couldnt find  a hit to

win on the 10th. 

The A's were able to put down a 

bunt to help score a run. The

Mariners had the bases loaded 

including the A's giving them 

a break in the bottom of tenth.

They couldn't come through 

A difference between a team 

that does win and  one that 

tries. 

Let's see they rebound on Sunday.

Go M's.

Seahawks Lose Saturday In Green Bay

There isn't much to say about the 

final preseason game for the 

Seahawks.  

Final Packers 20  Seahawks 7

Jalen Milroe had his first start as

the Seahawks quarterback. It didn't 

work out quite the way he or the

Seahawks were hoping for. We 

hope he learned a lot. Head coach 

Mike MacDonald said he hopes 

learned to keep his hands on the

ball.

There were three turnovers that

the Packers scored on. So they

didn't get much out of their offense

either.  I am sure Milroe was

nervous to. 

The regular season opener will

be on September 7th against the 

San Francisco 49ers at home.

The team will be planning  to get ready 

start that game. Next up we will hear

who makes the team, the injured list

those released. Let you know

smu surprise moves and players who

don't make it who may have been on the 

team before. Most of the moves should be

made soon. The Seahawks could pick

up players from other teams too.

In other local sports today the Seattle Mariners released veteran utility player

Dylan Moore and reinststed outfielder

Victor Robles off the 60 day injured

list. It was announced he would have

to serve suspension for ten games for 

throwing his bat while at Tacoma. He appealed however he will serve how 

many games they decide on the appeal.

The Mariners won't be able to add 

another player to the roster in his 

absence. 

The major league roster expands 

on September 1st to 28.  Most likely 

Robles will be serving his suspension 

during that time depending on the

suspension appeal gets finished.

The Mariners on September will

likely be at  27 players. The team

usually add a position player and

a relief pitcher. The Mariners could

make the 27th player a position 

a position player. They will however

be down Robles spot.  

Robles is in right field on Saturday 

night game.  It is possible he will

start his suspension when the Padres

come to town. Welcome back

Victor Robles. Go M's.

Mariners Win Pitching Duel

It was important for the Mariners to 

win the opening home stand Friday 

night especially losing five straight 

on the home stand. 

Final Mariners 3 A's 2

Before the 9th inning all four runs were 

solo homers with three by the M's.

Brent Rooker had  his 26th home run

in the first inning off Mariners starter 

Bryan Woo with two outs in the first

inning. It was the only hit and run 

Woo gave up in the seven innings 

he pitched. 

A's starter Luis Morales gave up two

hits in six innings including the 40th

home run of the season to Eugenio Suarez.

in the fifth inning.The Mariners hit two home runs  by Josh Naylor and Jorge Polanco in

the seventh. Matt Brash got the first two

outs in the 8th then Gabe Speier came

in to finish the inning off left handed

hitter Nick Kurtz who has 26 home runs too

Andre Munoz came in and had his career 

high 30 save on the season. Looks

like he will get more too. He did give

up a run on three hits however go

difficult out to save it.

Saturday night they will face the A's 

in the middle game of the series.

Go M's. 

Seahawks, Huskies and Cougars

The Seahawks are in Green Bay already 

for Saturday's final preseason game

The two teams practice against each 

other on Thursday. They got into a 

scermish too. I wonder fines too.

The starting offense won't be playing

in this game and the defense we might 

not sure either.  Rookie Jalen Milroe 

we might see a lot of though Drew Lock 

is second QB.  We might see either in

the regular season depending whether 

Sam Darnold gets hurt or  the Seahawks 

have a big lead or being trounced. 

Don't be surprised to see Milroe come 

in the red zone for his legs. Both quarterbacks could be in the game at

the same time. Go Hawks!

Huskies camp is over so getting ready 

for the Colorado State on Saturday at

Husky Stadium. It will be a night game

on the Big Ten Network. We will have

a preview next week. 

Colorado State is in the Mountain West

Conference however they will join the

new Pac-12 next season. In total there

will be eight  teams  right now. So it will

be interesting to see how they  work

the schedule and play teams out of the

conference 

The same day the Washington State Cougars 

play at home against the Idaho Vandals.

They play every year however the Cougars 

win every year.

The Cougars are expected to be good

however the of play in college football 

and the transfer portal it is hard to know.

New head coach Jimmy Rogers comes

over from South Dakota State. We expect

him to be a good coach. He is bringing 

over several players over from South 

Dakota  State. Until we see them play 

we won't know if they are ready to go

up a level of not. We hope so. The

starting quarterback wont be name

until before the first game. Go Cougs#

Phillies Beat Up On Mariners

The Phillies Best the Mariners Wednesday

afternoon  11 to 2. It made this road trip 

2-7 after they  were 8-1 at home. That means they only gained one game in 18 games. 

Now we have to hope they can get it back

at home and not only have a successful 

home stand in six games then onto the 

next road trip.

We have to find out which team the Mariners 

are the home team we saw or the one on

this road trip. I guess we will find out.

Luis Castillo went four innings giving up

three runs before exiting for throwing  too

many pitches for the second straight game

The Mariners will play three against the A's 

followed by three against the Padres. If the

Mariners can do better against the A's 

at home and play the same against the 

Padres when they were on the road. I hope

to see a 4-2 record at least.

The Mariners start the next road trip in

Cleveland facing the Guardians for three

and end the month of August.  Josh

Naylor will want to show his former 

team how he is going. The Mariners 

want to resign him they need to show

him what they have got.  They start 

September at Tampa Bay and Atlanta.

The Mariners need to win at least five 

of the nine games to be contenders 

The Mariners play the Cardinals and

the Angels at home after that road trip.

The final road series  will be at Kansas 

City and Houston. We will see what the

Mariners are like for playoffs bound.

The final six games at home on the 

regular season is against Colorado 

Rockies and the Los Angeles  Dodgers

We hope the Mariners are in the playoffs 

before meeting the Dodgers.

The Mariners have a solid eight position 

players beginning with Cal Raleigh at 

catcher. The trouble is the bench and dh

when Cal isn't there. Mitch Garver hasn't 

had a bounce back season the Mariners 

were hoping for. Polanco who has

been at dh most of the season against

righties had a great start however has

been inconsistent since. Dylan Moore 

who had a good April hasn't been 

good at all since. Most fans wonder why

he is still on the team.  I expect Garver, 

Polanco and Moore won't be back next

season. 

The starting rotation has had a good 

season despite having injuries to

three of the starters. So we know

it could have been better and we

hope for that for the rest of the 

season. 

The bullpen has been tough on the

season. Matt Brash and Andre Munoz 

have been good other than a couple 

of times. They could have used

another high leverage reliever. Gabe 

Speier has been solid from the left side.

They acquired Caleb Ferguson at the 

deadline and had done solid most of the

time. He comes in early out of the

bullpen and Speier comes in later on

occasion. Ferguson is good to if

Speier needs a night off. 

Eduardo Bazardo and Carlos Vargas 

as number five and six  relievers have 

had solid seasons and  both surprises.

Both pitchers should have not needed 

to pitch as often as they have. Troy 

Taylor began the season injured and

when he did return was not himself 

and spent most of the season at Tacoma.

Also Collin Snider  who was right there 

with Taylor hasn't had a good season 

either. Really would have made five thru

eight very solid. The Mariners need to

find those who can do it at seven and 

eight. One matching with Bazardo and 

the other with Vargas. If not it might be 

tough time to make the playoffs. The

Mariners will add a 9th reliever on September 1st however I hope none of the guys at 

Tacoma.. Go M's. 

 

 

 

Mariners Lose Again In Philadelphia

It isn't easy to win on the road especially 

in Philadelphia. The Phillies are on a role

right now.

Final  Phillies 6 Mariners 4

The Mariners were behind 4-1 heading 

into the seventh inning. Bryce Miller 

Made his first start in a couple months.

He looked like he pitched well despite 

making a couple mistakes. He ended 

up going five innings giving up four

runs on 84 pitches. 

The Mariners tied the game in the 

7th inning when Cal and Eugenio 

both hit doubles on base. The 

fortunate thing is Matt Brash gave

up a home  run in 8th to give the

Phillies the win.

The Mariners made several moves

on Tuesday before the game. Besides

activating Miller they put Trent Thornton 

on the 60 day injured. As expected they

would send down a reliever so Casey Legunmina was optioned to Tacoma.

They optioned Jackson Kowar to Tacoma

as well. They brought up reliever Saury 

Lao from Tacoma. Expect him to be the

the number 8 reliever on the team right

now.  Go M's. 

 

Gilbert and Mariners Lose

After having a good home stand this

road trip has been hard on the Mariners.

It has been a compensation of pitching 

and pitching. 

Logan Gilbert had a rough outing however 

the Mariners bats have them a chance 

but the bullpen cost them the game

too. 

Gilbert gave up six runs going only two

Innings including two home runs. Carlos 

Vargas gave them having three innings 

of shutout out ball.

Casey Legunmina went two innings 

giving up  giving runs. He is one reliever 

the Mariners need to replace. At times 

he does well however this has happen

way to often. 

The Mariners scored four runs in the 

top of the 7th to make it a game though

it would have been tough to overcome.

Mitch Garver had a solo home run while 

Cole Young had a three run homer. The

Phillies matched it by scoring four runs

off of Legunmina.

The Mariners didn't give up scoring three

runs in the 9th inning. 

Final Phillies 12 Mariners 7

Bryce Miller is going to return on Tuesday 

coming off the injured list. Go M's. 

Mariners Lose Series Final

The  Seattle Mariners lost series final 

to the New York Mets Sunday evening 

7-3.  

This is now the second series on the

road after taking eight of nine at home

last week.  There has been a mix of

poor pitching and good pitching with

the lack of hitting. We could give credit

to the Orioles and the Mets too.

The Mets scored first in the second 

with three runs then Julio who had

doubled scored on Polanco single 

At that point the Mariners still had a

chance. In the fifth inning Mark Vientos

hit a three run homer making it hard

for the Mariners then a couple more hits

allowed the Mets to score their final

run of the game. 

Cal Raleigh hit a two run homer in the

7th inning for his 47th of the season.

It looks it won't be long before Cal

breaks the record books for catchers 

and it could happen in Philadelphia.

We will see. 

We hope the Mariners can do  better 

against the Phillies to salvage this 

road trip. 

George Kirby who had pitched well

recently including in Baltimore gave 

Zip all seven runs in four and two-thirds 

innings. Teyler Sauce recently called up

went 2 and 1/3 innings and Jackson 

Kowar pitched the 8th.

 Now the Mariners be in Philadelphia 

for the next three games go M's.

Mets Take Game 2

The Mets rebounded Saturday afternoon 

with the Mariners after both teams 

scored a lot of runs in game one in

which the Mariners won.

This game was a pitching duel just

much like the series the Mariners 

had against the Orioles in Baltimore 

Final Mets 3 Mariners 1

The Mets started Nolan McLean 

who made his first major league 

start. McLean went five and 

one-thirds innings though he didn't 

give up a run and the Mariners only 

had two hits. At that point the Mets

had only one run. They scored two

runs off lefty Caleb Ferguson who

relieved Bryan Woo had gone six

and one run in the third inning

Woo continues pitching well going

six innings once again.

The Mariners have had some trouble 

against pitchers that they haven't 

faced in a game before. You think they

would have an advantage over a pitcher

who had never pitched in the majors 

before.It is hard  whether it is a mindset

or what in these situations.

Now the two teams go to the little 

league world series is at to face

each. For the Mariners to have a 

successful road trip they need to

win this game.  Go M's. 

.

Seahawks Win Friday Night

Though it was only preseason it was

good the Seattle Seahawks beat the

Kansas City Chiefs 33-16. 

The Seahawks starters were in the first 

series and they were able to match down 

the field scoring on a 81 yard drive. 

Zach Charbonnet started the game at

running back and scored the first td

and carried five times for 45 yards.

Ken Walker ll didn't see any action and

hasn't seen action in camp either. Will

he be ready for the season opener we

will have to see. 

The Seahawks had an impressive 

running game going for 268 yards

on 48 carries. The Seahawks only 

threw the ball 17 times for 209

yards and two touchdowns which

was the same for rushing. Jake

Bobo who is competing for a backup

receivers spot had both touchdowns 

on his two catches.  Making the team

for Bobo will be how he does on special 

teams as well which he is doing well too.

Starting quarterback Sam Darnold went 

four for four in the first series for 34

yards. All three quarterbacks did a fine

job. Drew Lock the number two threw

12 times with ten completions for 129

yards and the two touchdowns to Bobo.

The next game and final preseason 

game will be next Saturday against

the Packers in Green Bay. The Seahawks 

could have a few cuts this coming 

week however most will be after

next week's game.  We will give

you news about any recognizable 

names who get cut or put on the

injured list. Go Hawks!

Mariners Win High Scoring Game

The  Seattle Mariners  beat the New York 

Mets Friday night in opening game of

three.

Final Seattle 11 New York 9

The Mariners had a team high 9 doubles 

Cal Raleigh had another home run

making it 46 and two down from the

record for a catcher. We could see him

break it on this road trip with five more 

games.

Everyone had a hit in the lineup except 

JP Crawford.  Dylan Moore who has 

been struggling since May had a double 

as well.

Neither of the starting pitchers did

well. Mariners Luis Castillo went

only four innings giving up six runs.

Castillo was given an extra off going

into this start. I wonder if he is better

staying in the same amount of days

off. He should pitch against the 

Phillies on this road trip.

The Seahawks are playing right now

so we will see how it ends. 

Mariners Lose Again

The Seattle Mariners almost had a chance

to be swept by the Orioles and at the same 

time could have swept them.

In some cases the Mariners have played 

down to the competition though we

could say the Orioles played up to the 

competition. 

The Mariners now go New York and

play the Mets. We hope to see the

offense get back on board.

Third game.   Orioles 5 Mariners 3

The Orioles were leading  5 to 0

when the rains came again and

delayed for a couple hours.

The big question was why Dylan 

Moore was in the lineup in right

field. They were facing a lefty

so decided not to start Dominic 

Canzone in right field. They

started Mitch Garver which makes

sense since Cal Raleigh caught

Wednesday night game and this

was a day game. The question 

was why those two were both 

in the lineup. 

When action started again Julio

Rodriguez hit a home run. The

Mariners had other opportunities 

to score but wasn't able to bring

in more runs to tie at least.

Logan Evans who started pitched

four innings. In the 4th inning he gave 

up three innings after doing well 

before then. Carlos Vargas came in

the fifth and surrendered  two runs.

I could see the offense come more

alive in the Mets series. If the pitching

can continue well the Mariners can

win the series.

Friday fans can not only watch the

Mariners play they see the Seahawks 

too. 

Seahawks Thursday

Last Thursday the Seahawks played the

Raiders at home in Lumen Field. This 

week the Seahawks they play the Kansas

City Chiefs Friday in Lumen Field. 

Last week the Seahawks went with 

backup who are trying to make the

team. Again we will see these ones 

once again. 

The Seahawks may play their starters 

however they will likely only play a

series of two.  The word hasn't come

out whether they will or not.

The thought is the Chiefs will only 

play the backups. It will be interesting 

how the Seahawks reserves do against

the Chiefs when they play whether

starting the game or coming in after

the first two series.

When it comes to starters it might

only be on the offense. They are

doing a new offense so might be

a good idea to see some playing

time while on defense they will 

be playing the same as last season 

so not as important.

In past several seasons the Seahawks 

haven't played their starters during

the preseason. They have shown 

getting off to slow starts when the

season starts so the question would

it be better to get some playing time

now. It is hard to say. They could get

off to a slow start anyway. Maybe

it has to do more in practice than 

the game.  We will see. Go Hawks!

Mariners Lose In Walkoff Fashion

Wednesday night was another pitchers

however it didn't happen in Mariners

fashion.

The game was a shutout for both

teams heading into the 7th inning.

Julio was able to  score the go ahead

run however Logan Gilbert who did

a great job gave up two runs then

Gabe Speier a third. Gilbert has had

trouble getting through six innings 

prior since coming off the injured.

The question is should the Mariners 

allowed Gilbert to start the 7th. With

the lead he would have been the

winning pitcher. This is hardest part

of a manager's job is when to take

the starting pitcher out especially 

with one run scored. Never know how

the relievers will do either.

Down by two runs Julio has another hit

and Eugenio Suarez was able to get on

as well. They pulled a double steal. 

Josh Naylor ground out second scoring

Julio and Suarez was able to come in

on a Dominic Canzone sacrifice fly.

Unfortunately the Orioles scored on

a double down the right field corner

for the win. Had looked like it was 

going to go into extra innings.

It was an amazing pitching duel since

the game was delayed in starting with

rain. Thursday the game will be played 

in the afternoon. The Mariners will 

then go onto New York to play the

Mets. Go M's. 

Mariners Shutout Orioles

A good way to start the road trip

the Mariners beat the Orioles 

1-0. Now the Mariners have won

eight straight games.

Randy Arozarena started the game

with a single then stole second.

Josh Naylor drove him in.

George Kirby may have pitched 

his best game of the season.

No more run support makes it 

hard to pitch perfect however 

he was close. Kirby only gave up

three hits, no walks and seven

strike outs. This is for a guy who 

had to start the season on the

injured.

The Orioles starter Dean Kremer

went eight innings. This means

both teams have relievers available 

for the rest of the series. 

The Mariners and Astros are tied

for first place.  They have identical 

record at 67-53. Go M's 

Washington Huskies Improvement Coming

For the Washington Huskies to have a better 

this coming season than last year and

what was predicted on media day finishing 

10th comes down to the offense and the

newcomers on defense. 

Desmond Washington Jr. Is expected to

be good however it is his first year as

the every game starter. It is important he 

stay healthy and possibly play better than

expect.

We hope that Jonah Coleman who has 

s good season last year he will have an

even better on this season coming up.

Denzel Boston is the Huskies number

one receiver so we hope great things 

from him. Having another receiver step

up be good. We hope improvement 

from the tight ends as well as the offensive 

line. Blocking will be important for the 

line.

On defense the Huskies have a lot of 

new guys to the program so we hope

they do well and a few guys will step 

as well. Go Dawgs!

Mariners Sweep Rays

The Mariners got off to a great start

scoring four runs and the Rays starter

threw over forty pitches. Some how

he was able to turn things around

and went five in ings.

Cal Raleigh had another home run 

making it three in the series. This

one was two-run shot with Arozarena 

on base after being hit. The home

run now has tied Cal with Johnny 

Bench with 25 and three behind

Salvador Perez for a catcher in a

season. 

Julio singled then Josh Naylor 

walked. On what was supposed 

be a double steal the pitcher

balked. Eugenio singled to bring

both in. The Mariners couldn't get

more runs.

The second, third and fourth the

Rays made it interesting scoring

a run each inning. In the 4th 

Ha-Seong Kim hits a home run

to make it interesting. The Rays

didn't get anymore on the night.

Bryan Woo again made it through

six innings  though it was on a tight

rope. He did question the  umpire 

strike zone on the night. 

In the seventh inning Josh Naylor 

hit a line drive home run to right

field to give the Mariners more 

of edge. He had a good night

in the field as well with a few 

throws coming his way.

In the 8th inning the Mariners got

another insurance run when Dominic 

Canzone singled to right field

bringing home Jorge Polanco.

Caleb Ferguson rebounded going

going an inning and two-thirds 

facing lefties primarily then Vargas

finishing the 8th. Matt Brash pitched 

the ninth to get his third save of 

the season. He is now the closer 

when Andre Munoz needs a day off. 

Acquiring Ferguson helps out now

having two lefties. We see how this 

works until September anyway. 

The Astros won so they are half a

game ahead of the Mariners who 

sent 9-1 on this home stand. Now

we have to see how they do on the

road trip when it starts Tuesday in

Baltimore. The Mariners are now

66-53.   They are at .55. Stay at that

rate they win 90 games. Go M's.

At Tacoma Sunday  they won 5-2 over

Reno.  Luke Raley hit a grand slam in

the first inning to help them win.

Harry Ford didn't play in the game.

Julio and Cal Join Together

The Seattle Mariners beat the Tampa Bay Rays for the second night in a row.

The final was Mariners 7 Rays 4

The Rays scored first on a home run

by Brandon Lowe in the first inning.

That was short lived lead as Julio 

Rodriguez hit a two-run homer with

Randy Arozarena on base. 

In the third inning Cal Raleigh hit

a three-run homer for the second

game in a row then Julio followed

with a solo shot for his second on

the night. Julio now has 23 home

runs on the season.

In the six inning Junior Caminero

who faced Cal in the final of the

home run derby at the all-star game 

week hit a three-run homer of his

own to make the game interesting.

The Mariners final run was Cole 

Young scoring on a wild pitch.

What was interesting Cole walked 

all four of his appearances in the

game.

Now the Mariners on Sunday will 

see if they can sweep the series

again the Rays and make it two 

in a row.  The Mariners have Monday

off as they head to Baltimore to play

the Orioles for three games.

Before the game was the ceremony 

to retire Ichiro Suzuki's number 51.

He had another enjoyable speech

in English. He told the team that they

can go far into the playoffs just seize

the moment under pressure. They

certainly started off on the right track.

Go M's. 

Cal Raleigh Does It Again

It was a tough game for both

teams offense as Luis Castillo 

went seven for the Mariners 

and gave up two solo home runs.

Drew Rasmussen a local kid 

from Puyallup Washington 

shutout the Mariners for six 

innings.  In the 8th inning  Cal

Raleigh came to the plate JP

Crawford and Cole Young had

a single to get on base. We 

shouldn't be surprised Cal hit

a home run to put the Mariners 

ahead and win a ball game. 

It was Cal's 43 home run of

the season and the 16 to put

the Mariners ahead. 

Saturday's game they will retire

Ichiro's number 51.  Each player

in the Mariners Hall of Fame will

be there.  It should be a loud

crowd for sure. The Mariners will 

see if they can take the series.

It was important for them to win

as the Astros beat the Yankees today. 

Go M's.

Seahawks and Raiders Tie

The Seahawks and the Raiders tied

23-33 on Thursday night in the first

preseason gamest Lumen Field in

Seattle.

The game was like what you would

expect some good things along

with improvement needing to come.

The Seahawks had one interception 

quarterback Drew Lock  who threw 

22 times completing 12 for 147 yards.

The defense had a couple of interceptions.

Lock started sluggish however improved

while the first half continued.  Expect to

see better performance in game two.

Rookie Jalen Milroe three the ball ten

times completing six for 61 yards.

No Tds.

The Seahawks threw the ball 32 times

while running ball 32 times as well. 

This is what we like keeping the balance.

In the past few seasons the Seahawks 

wanted to balance between run and 

pass however abandoned the run when

it wasn't going good.

This game showed having a fullback 

helped in running the ball. Rookie

fullback Robbie Ouzts did a great job

blocking. He didn't run the ball once

though did catch one for 17. Brady 

Russell the backup was the same 

and caught a pass for 7 yards. Though

won't see either running the ball often

I wouldn't be surprised if they may on 

third and short a couple times a game.

Sam Darnold the starting quarterback 

we couple see him in game two for

a series of two. Lock and Milroe would 

do the rest of the time. They could

wait on Darnold for game three.

In recent years the Seahawks wouldn't 

start Geno Smith at all during the preseason 

or the running backs. I thought that was 

the reason the Seahawks would get off 

slowly at the beginning of the season.

Of course you never know whether making

the difference of not.

Rookie Tory Horton led the receivers with

three catches including the sole passing 

touchdown. He and Jake Bobo who had

two catches will likely be the 4th and 5th

receivers when the season starts. Whether 

the Seahawks go with six receivers hard

to know. 

The Raiders there the ball 40 times

while running 26 times so the Seahawks 

defensive backs had their time to get

in good plays. The starters on defense 

didn't play at all.

Preseason Game two will be next Friday

against the Kansas City Chiefs. We will

see how the Seahawks will do in that

one. Go Hawks!

Mariners Sweep White Sox

The Mariners Thursday afternoon beat 

the White Sox 4-3 in 11 innings. It was 

nice since they have lost more extra 

inning games then they have won.

Logan Gilbert continues not going

beyond five innings though this time 

he only gave up one run on two hits.

He threw 94 pitches while walking

three and striking out 6.

Randy Arozarena hit his 23 home run

in the third inning for two runs.

The White Sox had a home run off

Gilbert  in the 5th inning and then tied

it in seventh with a home run off of

Carlos Vargas. Both teams scored a 

run in the tenth then Suarez who 

started at second base was driven in 

by Dominic Canzone with one out

in the 12th inning. 

The Astros didn't play so the Mariners 

gained a half game on them.

Josh Naylor had to leave the game in

the 4th inning with discomfort. We will

find out whether he plays tomorrow 

night against Tampa Bay Rays. Go M's. 

Mariners Win Again Wednesday Night

Wednesday night was big for the 

Mariners to win as both the Astros

and Rangers both lost. 

Final Mariners 8 White Sox 6 

The Mariners got most of their runs 

in inning one and two. Josh Naylor 

hit a two run homer in the first inning.

In the second inning Cal Raleigh 

drove in two runs with the bases loaded.

Julio followed with a three run homKirbyer.

George  Kirby pitched well going six

innings giving up two runs. It was

the bullpen almost fail them. Bazardo 

who has pitched well most of the

season gave up three runs on two

homers in the seventh. Eugenio Suarez 

had a sacrifice fly in the seventh to

put the lead back to three. 

Gabe Speier pitched a good eighth 

however Andre Munoz struggled 

one of few times this season giving

the White Sox s chance. He walked 

s couple batters however was able

to get out of it without surrendering 

another run. This is a great thing 

with Munoz when he gets out of

trouble he usually gets out of it too.

The Mariners play Thursday afternoon 

in the final game of the series. Go M's 

Seahawks Defense Heading Into Preseason

The Seahawks defense right now the

starters haven't changed. Rookie Nick 

Emmanwori is listed as the third safety.

Just like Devon Witherspoon is listed

as the nickel back and moves around 

on the field Emmanwori will do so in

similar fashion. 

Emmanwori is having a very good camp

so it will be interesting to see where

he is planted during preseason. The

starters not playing a lot in preseason 

we could Emmanwori in a lot of different 

situations and see how things work out.

He could play the standard safety spot 

as well as the nickel back. He is listed

at 6'3 so he could go against tall receivers

as Julian Love is 5'11 and Colby Bryant

at 6'1.   Nickel back would depend whether 

a speedster or not. We could see the 
Seahawks try Love at nickel too. The

importance is for the defense to mix

things up to keep the offense off guard.

DeMarcus Lawrence is listed as the

edge rusher along with Derrick as 

well.  They have three linebackers 

however how much they play will

depend on the other team passing 

or not. We know Ernest Jones IV

will be in most every play however 

the other linebackers could change.

Preseason we will see different.

The defensive line will be three up

front with Byron Murphy ll in at

nose tackle.

Enjoy the first preseason. Let you 

know it goes. Go Hawks!

Mariners Take Game One

I have said it before always good to 

take game one of s series. Never know

the series will go however this win

will help. The Astros and  Rangers 

won so important to keep winning.

Bryan Woo went seven innings for

the M's. He gave up a home run

to the second batter of the game

and that was it.  He gave up one

other hit on the night. Woo struck

out nine and had no walks. 

Dominic Canzone hit a home run

in the second inning to tie. Eugenio 

Suarez hit a two-run homer in 

4th and Mariners didn't look back.

Josh Naylor hit a home run in 

the sixth.  They scored a few runs

by doing small ball. Naylor and

Suarez pulled off a double steal

and Polanco drove both in. 

Final Mariners 8 White Sox 3

George Kirby pitched Wednesday.

We hope to see a replay by him

like in his last start. Go M's.

Seahawks First Preseason Game

The Seattle Seahawks first preseason 

game happens this Thursday against 

Coach Pete Carroll and Las Vegas

Raiders in Seattle. Most likely won't 

see quarterback Geno Smith though.

Both will have large ovation before

the game.

The starters we won't see unless

it is  at center and right guard as those

two positions are still up in the air.

At running back there competition 

between Ken Walker lll and Zach 

Charbonnet. Walker still having trouble 

staying healthy and third back right

now and Damien Martinez from Miami 

and former Oregon State Beaver is

third. Probably see a lot of him in

the first half. George Holani who

played a little last year will probably 

see action along with some others.

Jake Bobo sounds like he will make

the club again this year. There is Tory

Horton a rookie to see who will make.

It will be interesting to see who makes

at tight end and fullback as the backups

too.  Wednesday we will look at the defense

heading into Thursday. The starters are

pretty set just who will be the backups.

Go Hawks!

The Mariners minor leagues update

The Mariners have Monday off 

and will begin another

three-game series at home

on Tuesday against the Chicago

White Sox. So decided to look

at the Mariners minor leaguers.

Sunday evening Adam Jude of

the Seattle Times write that 

shortstop Colt Emerson the

Mariners number one pick in

2023 and the number one 

prospect of the Mariners has

been promoted from Everett 

to doubleA Arkansas..He certainly 

is on the fast track to the majors.

He  was hitting  .281 with 11 home

runs and 52 rbis. Since June 1 he

has been hitting .313 with seven

home runs.

Jurrangelo Cijntje  2024 number one

pick pitcher who throws right and left

handed was promoted from Everett 

to double A Arkansas as well. If you

look at his era 4.58 alone doesn't look

to impressive however he has 83 

strike outs in 74.2 innings. His walk

ratio to innings sound high with 35.

The Mariners must feel these two

are ready to make the jump.

This means that others likely be

promoted going up the chain.

Felnin Clesten  19 year old shortstop,

Mariners number six prospect could

be promoted from low A Modesto

to Everett. He has leveled a bit however 

is still hitting.275. He is striking out 

once a game which is good. His walks

ratio to strikeouts isn't great however

we could say he is learning to hit in

the minor leagues. 

Ryan Sloan drafted last year in the

second round and considered the

best high school pitcher in the draft

has gotten off to a good start at

Modesto. He has a 3.70 era with

72 strikeouts in 65.2 innings. Even

more impressive has only 15 walks.

He could be the pitcher promoted.

Lazaro Montes outfielder and number

two Mariners number two prospect his

average is hitting only .219 at Arkansas

after beginning the season at Everett. 

He does have seven home runs at 

Arkansas. In total 25 on the season. 

According to some experts Montes

might be better off playing at first

base than the outfield. We will see

how that works out. 

Harry Ford catcher at triple A Tacoma

continues to be having a good season.

With Cal Raleigh being the clear catcher

for the Mariners was not traded before

the deadline as some expected is likely 

be on the Mariners roster next season 

unless traded during the off-season.

There is the likelihood the Mariners 

won't resign Mitch Garver on the off-

season since he will be a free agent. 

Besides catching will Ford dh when

not behind the plate or will the

Mariners look for some other position 

for him. 

We will look further on the Mariners 

minor leaguers in the weeks ahead.

If you have Roots Sports not only

will the Mariners be on television 

we will be able to see some of the

minor league teams play too. I

see that as a good sign and I wanted

that for some time. Go teams. 

Mariner Win Home Series

The Seattle Mariners took three out of

four games at home against the Texas 

Rangers.  Three of the games were close

except the opener the Mariners won.

Sunday afternoon the Mariners beat 

the Rangers  5-4. Though they added 

more offense the scores are still by

one run. We hope this improves over

the weeks ahead. The pitching should

improve and have the bullpen not

have to pitch so many innings. 

The Mariners had three home runs

that helped them win.. Jorge Polanco 

had a solo home run in the second 

inning putting the Mariners up 1-0.

Corey Seager had a home run to

put the Rangers up briefly then Julio

Rodriguez had a two-run homer in

the third inning  making it his 20th

of the season and his career 100th

home run. Also four years  hitting

at least 20 home runs. In the 4th

inning JP hit another two-run homer

in the series to make the difference. 

Saturday the Mariners used seven 

pitchers in relief and fortunately 

only three in this one. The Mariners 

have Monday off so that will help

the bullpen and take on the Chicago 

White Sox beginning on Tuesday.

The Mariners are now two and a half

behind the Astros after they lost 

again on Sunday. The Astros have

injuries that are hurting them.

Go M's.

Mariners Lose In Extra Innings

The Texas Rangers  beat the Seattle Mariners 

6-4 in 11 innings.  Both teams scored

two runs each in 9 innings.  The Rangers scored their two runs on a home run in the

third inning.

The Mariners scored where JP Crawford 

came home on a balk and Randy Arozarena 

On a double by Julio Rodriguez.

After the Rangers scored two runs in

the 10th Randy Arozarena hit a two run

homer. Rangers scored two more in

the 11th, however the Mariners couldn't.

Interesting JP Crawford came up with

the runner on base however couldn't 

get a hit alone a homer run.

The Mariners used seven relievers in the

game. See who they use relievers on

Sunday. Logan Evans will have to go at 

least five innings no matter how many

runs he gives.  Go M's. 

JP Crawford WalkOff

Friday night's game was touch and go

for the Mariners. Head into the the 9th

inning the Mariners were down 3 to 2.

Both Josh Naylor and Eugenio Suarez 

missed a home run .late in the game. 

Eugenio missed a double in the left

field corner.

Now JP became the hero with his

first walk off home run with Miles Mastrobuino on first base who pinch

run for Dominic Canzone who had a

single. 

Now the Mariners will have two

day games on Saturday and Sunday.

This is like playoffs atmosphere so

should have good crowds both games.

The Mariners are now two games

ahead of the Rangers. The Astros 

lost Friday do Mariners are now

three games down.  Go M's. 

Mariners Blank Rangers

The Seattle Mariners and the Texas 

Rangers tied going into there series

opener on Thursday night.

The Mariners did the right thing 

winning the series  opener beating

the Rangers 6-0.

Eugenio Suarez has his first hit

back in the Mariners uniform 

in the 4th inning for a double.

Jorge Polanco had a fly out to 

center moving Suarez to third.

He scored on a wild pitch.

In the 5th inning Cole Young 

showed great power hitting 

a home run that traveled 470

feet to second deck in right

field. It was longest home 

run in T-Mobile Park in a long

time. Cal Raleigh had his 42

home run that just cleared 

the right field fence.

In the sixth inning the Mariners

scored their last three runs.

JP Crawford hit a single to drive

in Polanco who had walked.

Cole Young had triple to drive 

in JP and he scored on a pass

ball

The Mariners changed up the

lineup with the return of Suarez.

Randy Arozarena moved to lead 

off while JP Crawford moved

down to the 8th spot while.Cal 

Raleigh went to second followed 

by Julio Rodriguez. Suarez inserted

at clean up followed by Josh Naylor 

and Polanco before JP and Cole

Young. Looks like a mighty lineup.

George Kirby started and went six

innings giving up three singles and

two walks while striking out six.

Kirby didn't still look his best however 

giving up no runs can't complain.

Caleb Ferguson made his first appearance 

coming in the seventh and giving up no

hits.  Trent Thornton followed going on

and one-thirds innings. He gave up one

hit and struck out one. Thornton hasn't 

had the best season however with a

big lead good time to get him in and

work on getting better. 

Casey Legunmina finished by striking

out the last hitter in the game. He

like Thornton never know what he 

will give. It would have been nice 

had the Mariners would have gotten

another reliever before the deadline 

however it wasn't the lack of trying.

Though the dead line for trading is 

over teams can still trade however

the players have to go through

waivers so another team could

block it if they desire. See if the 

Mariners could pick up another

reliever.  

The acquisition of Ferguson the

Mariners sent down Jackson Kowar

to Tacoma. Personally I would have

made another move. With Suarez

the Mariners sent Ben Williamson 

to Tacoma to continue with playtime.

They recalled utility player Miles

Mastrobuino from Tacoma. 

Logan Gilbert will start Friday for the

Mariners followed by Luis Castillo 

on Saturday and Logan Evans on

Sunday. The Mariners have Monday

off then Chicago White Sox come

to Seattle for three followed by Tampa 

Bay for three. The Mariners next road

trip will start in Baltimore on Tuesday 

August 12. 

Mariners Lose Final to A's However More News

Wednesday night the Seattle Mariners 

lost to the  A's in the final game played

by both teams in Sacramento this

season 5-4. 

All-star pitcher Bryan Woo who has pitched

well against the A's had his second game

in a row where he gave up five runs.

The A's hit four home runs on the night

while the Mariners had three the difference 

in the game.

Woo went six and a third innings. His final 

run was in the 7th inning.  I know it is hard

to know when to take the starter out however

the Mariners may have had a better chance

if Woo had been taken out after six. We 

will never know for sure.

Randy Arozarena hit a home run in the

9th inning to cut it down to one however

the Mariners were unable to tie or win 

the game.  The Mariners now come 

home to face the Texas Rangers for

four games starting Thursday night.

Before the game the Mariners acquired 

left handed reliever Caleb Ferguson 

from the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates

were playing the Giants in San Francisco 

so the Mariners sent a limousine to

bring him to Sacramento. He didn't pitch

in the game though in the bullpen

In the 8th inning Aaron Goldsmith 

announced on Roots Sports that

the Mariners had reacquired third

baseman  Eugeno Suarez from the

Arizona Diamondbacks for first 

baseman Tyler Locklear who was 

just brought up from Tacoma and

was activated while Luke Raley 

went on the injured list.  The

Diamondbacks were getting two

minor league pitching prospects 

from the Mariners as well. 

Another bizarre part of the story 

is the Diamondbacks arrived in

town during the Mariners and

A's game so if this all true than 

Eugeno will be on the plane with

his Mariners teammates back to 

Seattle. 

Thursday we will see if the Mariners 

have anything else in their sleeve

before the trading deadline ends.
