Another Loss By the Mariners

For the second game in a row the Mariners 

lost to the Padres 7-4. It really wasn't that

close until the Mariners rallied in the 8th 

inning.

Logan Gilbert struggled giving up three 

home runs. The first home run was in the

second but the Mariners couldn't get

any runs themselves. The big inning for

the Padres was the 4th win they scored 

four runs including a three run homer 

the first of the season he gave up. Prior

to that Gilbert had given up solo home 

runs.

The Mariners kept Logan in the game 

until the seventh inning with two outs

 he gave up a two run homer.  Outside

the three home runs be only gave up 

one run.  I expect the Mariners wanted

to keep the bullpen fresh. 

Manager Dan Wilson was rejected from

the game before Logan was taken out.

He argued when a Padre check swing 

was not called a strike. Though it

didn't allow the Mariners to win I do 

home that puts the players in a place 

to win several games in a row. Go M's.

Seattle Mariners Shut Out

The Seattle Mariners were shut out

by the San Diego Padres Friday 2-0.

The Mariners continue nothing being

able to beat the Padres this season.

Hopefully they will turn it around

Saturday and Sunday.

The Mariners have shown they can

score a lot of runs however it has

been inconsistent. Cal Raleigh 

though he hasn't hit well yet was

out in the injured list for ten days.

They still don't know how serious

Cal's injury is but they are hoping

the ten days will give him enough

time. 

The Mariners will have him around 

this weekend however he is expected 

go go to Arizona for a few days as well.

He may work on his hitting if he can.

The question is how will they be without 

him.

It took the Padres until the 4th inning

go score the first run on a double.

The second run was in the 7th inning 

on a ground to Josh Naylor.

The .stoners had seven hits. Randy Arozarena had two which keeps him on a good pace 

howe dr they couldn't take advantage of it.

Also Cole Young had two hits. Randy is now

hitting .301 and Cole is at .248 and has 24 rbis. If he keeps that rate he will drive in 

a lot of runs.  In fact if he doesn't play in

all the Mariners games at this rate he will

have 88 rbis at the end of the season.

I know fans have to be confused still

as Connor Joe and Rob Refsynder both

pinched hit. Joe had a walk however 

Refsynder went 0 for 2. No matter what

the data says how Raley and Canzone 

hit against lefties right now it isn't working.

The Mariners should change things up for at least a short period. 

The other three hits in the game were by

Brendan Donovan, Josh Naylor and Canzone.

This is another question if Canzone has a hit

already why not keep him the game. 

Besides giving up the one run Emerson Hancock was able to go six innings. He

only walked one batter. Cooper Criswell 

went an inning and gave up a run.  Jose

Ferrer and Alex Hoppe both went an

inning giving up no runs and giving the

Mariners.

Now we will see how they do on Saturday.

Go M's. 

Seattle Seahawks 2026 Schedule

The  Seahawks have six prime time

games on this coming season.

The preseason will begin on August 

15 against the Dallas Cowboys at

home. They play them again in week 

13.  The other two preseason games 

are on the road at Tennessee and

Kansas City.

Opening season begins on September 

9 at home against New England who

they beat in the Super Bowl.

The NFC East and the AFC West are the

primary opponents outside their division

this year. In the NFC West they play the

49ers in October and the Sunday after

Thanksgiving. They don't play the Rams

until week 16 and 18. We will know how

important those games will be. The

Cardinals they play on the road in week 

2 and week nine. They have their bye 

in week 11 before playing the 49ers

right after Thanksgiving.

This might be a tough schedule however

durable. Go Hawks. 

How 2025 former Mariners Are Doing Now

Ss we know the ones best known 

Eugenio Suarez is with the Cincinnati 

Reds who he played for before being 

traded to the Mariners the first. Eugenio 

though hurt right now and on injured list.

The same goes for Jorge Polanco with 

the Mets.  Harry Ford traded to the

Nationals for Jose Ferrer is currently 

at triple A and hasn't gotten off to a

good start like he had in Tacoma year.

The Mariners had 31 pitchers last

year so many that are not on the

roster this year we wouldn't remember 

some of them.  The second Luis Castillo 

is one to remember. After the Mariners

he went to the Orioles. He now is pitching 

in Mexico.

Trent Thirton who had some success 

in the Mariners bullpen before being

hurt last year and missing the rest of

the season. He was signed by the  Chicago Cubs after the Mariners didn't tender

him a contract. He has only pitched in 

three games so far all in May and hasn't 

given up a run yet.

Collin Snider who had a very good season 

for the Mariners in 2024 where he began 

coming in games early digressed in 2025

and sent to Tacoma is in the minor leagues

this year for the Chicago Cubs. I hope he 

makes his way back to the majors.

Caleb Ferguson who the Mariners picked

up at the trading deline last year as a second

lefty to Gabe Speier signed with the Cincinnati Reds is currently on rehab assignment. They

hope hin to be a good lefty out of the bullpen 

for them. 

Gregory Santos who the Mariners acquired 

before the 2024 season  however the two years he spent primarily on the injured list.

The Mariners were hoping him to match up with Matt Brash in the late innings which

now has gone to Eduardo Bazardo. He is

now in the San Francisco Giants organization.

He briefly was up this season. Hopefully 

he can stay healthy and be the reliever 

the Mariners thought he would be.

Tayler Saucedo who was with the Seattle 

Mariners and was a local who grew up 

being a Mariners fan had success with

the Mariners his first two years as a lefty

out of the bullpen. Last year he didn't 

have the same success and spent time

in Tacoma. He was a fan favorite so

people will always remember him. He

signed a free agent contract with the

Angels during the off season.  He has

only pitched in one game for the Angels 

so we see how he does  in the future.

We hope that some point we will see 

him pitch against the Mariners.

Now look at the Seattle Mariners infield.

Dylan Moore  who spent just over six and 

a half seasons with the Mariners primarily 

as a utility player. Though his bat for the

Mariners for the most part wasn't great 

his fielding and versatility playing every 

infield and outfield. With the injuries the

Mariners had and not a lot of depth in

the outfield he was valuable in that way.

His second season he had his best season 

hitting hose rr never lasted where he could

be an everyday player especially at second

base where he tried to be a starter. In

2024 he got an award with gold glove 

as the utility player.  In 2025 he played

88 games for the Mariners before he was

released and played the rest of the season 

with the Rangers.  He had a good start 

hitting in 2025 his bat went silent after 

hitting well the first month. His defense

wasn't as good either. This season he 

began with the Phillies however he was 

out on waivers after not getting any hits

on a team that is struggling in its self.

He is now in their triple A team after

going through waivers. We to hope he

finds his way back to the majors.

Ben Williamson who came up early 

in the season as a rookie in 2025

played exceptional defense at third

base before the Mariners traded for

Eugenio Suarez at the trading deadline.

His offense wasn't as much as the M's 

wanted as far as power goes.  In

January 2026 Ben was traded in the 

three team swap to acquire Brendan

Donovan from the Cardinals.  Ben

went to Tampa Bay where he is playing

more second than third however still

playing good defense.  I am sure it

would be nice to have his defense at

third acquiring Donovan was  a good 

thing. The Mariners number one prospect

Colt Emerson will likely be the Mariners

future third baseman though could be

at short depending the future of JP

Crawford who is in the final year of

his contract.  Donovan maybe the M's 

super utility player in the long run.

Rowdy Tellez  was the left handed hitting 

platoon in 2025 at first base and dh. 

Injuries to Like Raley had him play more

at first base.  Rowdy had 11 home runs 

for the Mariners but his batting average 

was disappointing. After waivers he 

played for the Rangers. Although his

batting average was higher his home 

runs dropped off. He currently playing 

for the Atlanta Braves triple A team.

Donovan Solano was the right handed

platoon startingsst season for the M's.

For several seasons the Mariners have had

trouble signing a right handed bat for

success.  This year Rob Refsynder has

been a disappointment. The Mariners 

do hope he does turn things around.

This experience shows the Mariners 

shouldn't go in this direction again. 

Solano at this time isn't playing in the

major leagues. 

Leody Taveras  who the  Mariners 

acquired from the Texas Rangers 

last season because of injuries 

to Victor Robles and Luke Raley

played 28 games batting .198 

before being sent to triple A Tacoma.

This year he is playing for the Orioles.

Though he has only two home runs

in 36 games he is hitting .248.

Those are some of the players who played time for the 2025 season.  Go M's. 

Mariners Bounce Back

First of all  Cal Raleigh went on the

injured list.  Mitch Garver started 

on Friday. He actually hit a home 

with a runner on base. The score at 

the became 5-1.

Final Mariners 8. Astros 3

Julio Rodriguez  had no hits on

the day however the rest of the

lineup made up for him. Julio

has had a good month hitting

so an off day is ok especially like 

this.

Luke Raley started off hitting a

three run homer in the first inning

followed by Mitch Garver's. It 

would be nice if the Mariners 

could start Raley some games 

against lefties. He might not hit

lefties well however he won't get

better if he doesn't face any. 

Cole Young hit a double to bring

in the next two runs and JP Crawford 

with the final run on a double too.

This tells me the Mariners don't have 

always hit home runs to score.

Alvarez hit a home run in the third

inning for the Astros first run.  

Before he was taken out in the 

6th inning Luis Castillo gave up 

two runs on a double that Alvarez 

scored on again. Outside of that

Castillo pitched well. If he and

Miller peggy back on each other

should he start and Miller come

in. Being a long time starter 

Castillo get the chance. I could see

him go five innings and Miller four.

It could be the other way around 

depending on the game. 

Emerson Hancock will start Friday

at home against the San Diego 

Padres. Logan Gilbert will start 

Saturday and George Kirby Sunday.

They take on the White Sox at home

Monday thru Wednesday. Go M's.

 

The Seahawks Defense Into 2026

The Seahawks lost three players from

the defense however done replacing 

that hope to be be better.

All pro Devon Witherspoon is now 

listed as the left cornerback instead

of nickelback. Depending on downs 

he could be seen at linebacker as well.

The Seahawks will look that they won't 

have to rush in  other players. Versatility 

among players. 

Nick Emmanawori who had a great 

rookie season last year is now listed

at nickelback but will be seen other

positions as well.  Josh Jobe who 

played a lot at safety last year is now

listed at right cornerback. Julian Neal 

drafted third round is listed as his back 

up.

Julian Love will start at strong safety 

with Rodney Thomas his backup.

Ty Okada who started 11 games last year 

will start at free safety. Second round

pick Bud Clark is listed as his backup.

Earnest Jones will again be the middle 

linebacker. Patrick O'Connell will be his

backup. Uchenna Nwosu be the strong 

side linebacker  and Derrick Hall his

backup.  Drake Thomas who had a good

season will be weakeside linebacker.

Tyrice Knight former starter will be his

backup.

On the defensive line at defensive end

will be Leonhard Williams. Mike Morris

moves to the outside to be his backup.

DeMarcus Lawrence will be on the 

other side called Rushing position.

Dante Fowler Jr. recently signed is

listed as the backup.

Byron Murphy II will be the nose tackle

and Brandon Pili over from the Dolphins 

will be his backup. Jarran Reed again will

be the defensive tackle with Rylie Mills

who played late last year out of Notre 

Dame is listed as his backup. News is

that he could play some on the outside 

too.

The Seahawks win the Super Bowl 

again the defense will be a major reason.

Go Hawks!

Mariners Lose Wednesday Night

It took the Astros ten innings to

beat the Mariners 4-3. The Mariners 

had runners on bases in the top of

the tenth but we're not able to score

a run so gave the Astros chance to 

score only one run to win.

JP Crawford hit a home run to lead

of the game. Luke Raley hit a homer

in the second. The Astros scored 

three runs before Julio Rodriguez 

was able to tie the game in the top 

of the 9th with two outs walking on

3-2 pitch. 

Bryce Miller in his first major league 

start of the season gave up two runs

in five and one - third innings.  The 

Mariners used six relievers giving 

up four hits only.  The Mariners 

really lost for lack of hitting and 

coaching.  Go M's. 

Mariners Beat Struggling Astros Again

For the second game in a row the 

Mariners beat the Astros on Tuesday 

night 10-2.

The Mariners scored two runs on

a home run by Randy Arozarena in

the second inning. The Astros 

bounced back with a run in the 

bottom of the second and  third.

Dominic Canzone hit a grand slam 

in the 4th inning his career first.

The Mariners added a run in the 

5th and 7th plus two in the 9th

for good measure. Arozarena 

went four for four and four runs. 

Good news on the Cal Raleigh 

side as he had two hits while

scoring three times. 

Bryan Woo went six innings 

before Alex Hoppe came in

for two innings. With the big

lead along with throwing over

a hundred pitches was enough 

for Woo. Hoppe gave up no

hits and struck out two. He 

seems  like the real thing. 

Domingo Gonzalez who was

activated taking Jose Ferrer

spot while on paternity leave.

Most likely return when the 

Mariners come home on Friday.

Bryce Miller is expected to

start Wednesday night against

the Astros for the first time of

the season. Not only should 

Ferrer be reactivated on Friday 

Matt Brash is expected to come

off the injured list. Go M's. 

 

Look At Seahawks Tight Ends and Offensive Line

NFL teams are more going with

three tight ends on occasion. 

How often we will see with the

Seahawks will find out.  It will

likely be done in short yardage.

AJ Barner will be the number 

one tight end and be in mostly 

on passing downs. He has shown

to be a good receiver.  

The number two tight end right 

now listed is  Eric Shaubert who

made some important catches 

last year. Elijah Arroyo a rookie

last year as a second pick  missed

some time with injuries could be

number two though listed at 

number three right now. These

three could give some surprises.

 

The offensive line will be interesting.

The left tackle and guard will likely 

stay the same as far as the starters.

Charles Cross at left tackle while

last year's number one pick Grey

Zabel at left guard. This year's 

fifth round pick Beau Stephens 

is listed as his backup. The right

guard spot has shown some down

grade so we could see him on that 

side as a starter or a backup as well.

At the right tackle will be former

Washington State Cougar  Abraham 

Lucas. Last year he was healthy 

unlike a couple bad years so that 

is good news. Amari Kight is his

backup.  Anthony Bradford is the

current starter at right guard however

that spot could change. His backup

is Christian Haynes  who has been a disappointment and this is where 

Beau Stephens comes in where he

could play right tackle.  Offensive 

lineman can be interchangeable 

however Cross, Zabel and Lucas 

should stay the same. At some 

point center could be Zabel's best

spot but that could be another 

year or two.

.Mariners Win In Houston

The Seattle Mariners were able to

win Monday evening in Houston 

in game one 3 to 1.

George Kirby looked good even though 

he was only able to go five innings. 

He gave up the one run in the fifth

inning. The four relievers did a

good job just giving up one hit. 

The Mariners scored two runs in

the second inning with back to 

back hits by Canzone and Cole 

Young driving in Arozarena and

Luke Raley.  Julio hit a massive 

home run in the third inning  for

the last run. He missed a home run 

in the first inning as the ball just

went foul to left field.

 Cal Raleigh  continues to struggle 

at the plate without getting a hit

however his swing did look good 

though. We hope he gets out of it

on Tuesday.  Bryan Woo will

start Tuesday.  Go M's. 

Seahawks Depth Chart Heading Into 2026

We are looking at the Seahawks offense

first here. Sam Arnold stays as the number

one quarterback. I expect if he has a

season lije  this last one he will get a

new extension. Drew Lock is number 2

at this point. Last year as a rookie Jalen

Milroe played sparingly and may do so 

again. His legs are a strong point so we

could see him come in sometimes when

the Seahawks are in the red zone. He could be used in short downs to as a change up.

Zach Charbonnett and Ken Walker III 

had about the same amount of carries

last season. While Zach won't be on the

team when the season begins number 

one draft pick Jadarian Price most likely 

will share time with free agent Emmanuel Wilson or George Holani who has always looked good in preseason games.  Both 

likely to run much like Charbonnett.   According to head coach Mike MacDonald Price will work with every unit.

The Seahawks will likely go with a

fullback once again. Robbie Ouzts 

is listed as the starting  fullback. 

He was hurt some of last  year. 

His important job is to block

for the running back however we 

will see him run once in a while as 

a change up. Brady Russell is listed

as his backup however could see 

him some at tight end and especially 

on special teams. 

At wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba 

will be the number one guy. Jake 

Bobo is listed as his number two.

Rashid Shaheed who signed a big

contract as he became a free agent

will be on the other side. He likely 

be the high playmaker as well as

punt returner.  Tory Horton is listed

as  Shaheed backup at both spots.

We could see him some on punt

returns to keep Shaheed healthy.

Don't be surprised to Shaheed do

some runs as well.  

Cooper Kupp will be the third receiver.

We may see him make maybe three

catches a game however he is shown

as a good blocker and he is a coach

on the field too. Sixth round pick 

Emmanuel Henderson Jr is listed 

as his backup. See how that works

out.

Next time we will look at the tight 

ends as well as the offensive line.

Go Hawks!

Mariners Give Up Another Game Sunday

The Seattle Mariners could have or

should have swept the White Sox

instead they lost 2-1.

Logan Gilbert pitched a fantastic 

game giving up just one hi. Also

he had 16 straight outs to end his

time in the game after six innings. 

The Mariners scored their one run

in the first inning when Randy Aroza-

rena drove in Julio.  In the seventh 

inning Connor Joe hit a double then

JP moved him to third out on a ground

out.  Rob Refsynder pinch hitting for

Canzone struck out. Again this shows 

me that using Refsynder in this situation 

is not working.  Cole Young flied out.

The White Sox got their two runs in

the bottom of the 8th with a home run

and a sacrifice fly. 

The White Sox had five hits while the

Mariners had seven. Now the Mariners 

go play the Astros for four games.

We hope they play better. 

Mariners Lose Saturday Evening

The Seattle Mariners continue to

have trouble hitting against lefties.

Also Luis Castillo still trouble 

pitching as well.

Final White Sox 6 Mariners 1

Luis Castillo gave up a two run homer

in the first inning and another in the

third inning.  He lasted only four innings.

The only run was when Mitch Garver 

walked then came home on a Refsynder 

sacrifice fly.  Though he isn't hitting

well in limited action he continues 

to be willing to walk.  We do hope 

Refsynder starts to hit soon too. He

is playing sparingly as well however

as a veteran he should be used to it.

Leo Rivas was back at third base.

I expect right now the Mariners 

are trying to use him against 

righties.  We hope he is able 

to play more often soon.

My thinking is the Mariners need

to pick up another right handed 

back.

Bryce Miller is expected to start 

on Wednesday. There looks like

the two might piggy back on 

each other though not the first

round this coming week. Whether

Castillo will start and Bryce come 

in after a few innings or possibly 

the other way around. We will

find out. How it affects the other

starters we will see too. 

The minor leaguers are pitching

once a week at this time. So 

this could be normal in the future.

I like the old days when there were

four starters. The Mariners though

have had five solid starters so for

this team makes sense. 

For minor leaguers they look so

injuries won't happen as often.

This is especially true for pitchers 

who pitched in college where they

throw a lot of innings. 

The Mariners will go to seven  

relievers for the meantime. Not

sure however one will be sent 

down to the minors if they have

options to do so.

Go M's. 

Mariners Win Opening Game On Road Trip

The Seattle Mariners started out well 

however let the White Sox back into the 

game. Final Mariners 12  White Sox 8

Luke Raley was the player of the game 

having his first grand slam of his career.

Unfortunately Emerson Hancock wasn't 

able to keep the lead. Later Raley had

a three run homer. He was one run 

short in tying for driving in the most

run in a game. 

Josh Naylor had a great game to having 

three hits and had a three run homer later

after Raley's. Arozarena had three hits 

too. Julio had a home run too.

Luis Castillo should start on Saturday.

We see how he does whether to get

better. Go M's. 

When Should The Mariners Make a Trade

We know the Seattle Mariners will 

likely trade at the deadline however

should they before the deadline.

We know the Mariners are struggling 

against left handed hitting. It is

interesting that Cole Young is the

best hitter against lefties this season 

and he bats left-handed and he is

in his first full season. 

Rob Refsynder has been a disappointment 

so far in this season hitting .140. The

Mariners have had trouble with acquiring 

right handed bats the last several years 

to platoon or pinch hit. Refsynder has 

had a poor history pinch so I have no

idea why they use him that way.  

Connor Joe is the other right handed

bat at the moment. Victor Robles is

doing a rehab assignment right now.

Not sure when he will be back however 

Joe will likely be sent down. Does this

mean that the Mariners should look to 

make a trade for a right handed bat

that is hitting well right now. 

Bryce Miller is about to return after

doing multiple rehab pitching. What 

does that mean to the rotation. One

story I heard is that they will do back

to back. What does that mean. It

sounds like starting Luis Castillo 

will start and go four or five innings 

then Bryce Miller will come in. This

could mean for one game in every 

five the bullpen will have a day off.

One reliever like Munoz or Jose Ferrer 

could pitch the 9th inning depending 

on the score.

Luis Castillo is currently the 5th

starter and how Emerson Hancock 

has been pitching this is a good

idea. This maybe better than going

to a six man rotation. In either

case the Mariners will have seven

in the bullpen. Having this would 

be better than going to a six man

rotation. 

Even if the Mariners don't pick up 

another right handed bat now June 

or July will be a good time. All

comes down to their record. If

they can have a good record in

May then waiting until July might

be the best.

Brendan Donovan is expected back 

Friday. This means they will go back

to two catchers likely and Rivas will

be the utility player which he can do

better. We hope for a good road trip.

The White Sox are doing better than

the last few years however are beatable 

for the Mariners to win two out of three.

The Mariners should have a good time

in Houston as the Astros are still 

having injury trouble so if the  M's

can take three out of four would be

good.  Go M's. 

Washington Huskies Football Heading Into 2026

All depending on the poll the Washington Huskies are in the top 25 or just outside 

of it.  

The Huskies have a young team. They

have 25 freshman and 14 transfers.

Last year they had a good impact by

freshman so we will see how they do

in their second year. 

Of the transfer the one with the most 

to have an impact is running back 

Jayden Limar. Whether he starts 

or is number two should see good

action. Another is Christian Moss 

wide receiver and he missed the spring

training. Until the season starts we 

will look at other players who could

make a difference.

The Washington State Cougars had

to do a major overhaul when new 

head coach Kirby Moore onboard.

They have 9 offensive and 17 defensive 

players.  

The Cougars are expected to be one of 

the top teams in the new Pac-12 with

Oregon State and Boise State who

joins in. The Broncos have always been

a good team in the Mountain West.

The Cougars have always been a good team

throwing the ball and hope to continue 

the history in that regard. It is getting the

running game going and having a good 

defense. How the Cougars season goes

will have to come down to the defense.

The Cougars have three quarterbacks

competing for the job so we will see

who comes out the winner initially. 

Both schools men's basketball lost

players in the transfer portal. The

Huskies have done well replacing 

guys so we see how they do. The

Cougars will likely have more trouble

doing so. For one they will have to

compete with state rival Gonzaga 

for players in the same conference 

as well as the Huskies. Depending

on the players the Cougars are likely 

number three. 

We will see how all three go in basketball 

as well as Huskies and Cougars in

football. Go teams. 

Mariners Win Wednesday Afternoon

The Mariners were able to come back

after being swept by the KC Royals 

over the last weekend. They beat the

Braves the best record in the major

leagues taking Eq2  first and last game 

of the series.

Cal dh once  again drove in the first

run in the third inning while playing 

into a double play. He didn't get a

hit at all. Is he still hurting that bad.

At least he gets a day off tomorrow.

Julio who has been hitting well of

late hit a home run in the 6th inning.

Bryan Woo came back after a couple 

bad outings to shutout the Braves 

over six innings. 

Cooper Criswell did fine pitching the

seventh. Bazardo struggled in the 8th 

giving up three hits however only gave

up one run to make it a close game.

Cole Young who leads the Mariners in

runs batted in had his 20th driving

Josh Naylor in with a double from

second in the 8th. 

Jose Ferrer pitched the 9th in his 

third outing straight against the

Braves.  He received the save.

He seems to be the guy the Mariners 

can use if Munoz is rested. Ferrer

is the key lefty now while Speier is

on the injured list.

Final Mariners 3  Braves 1

The Mariners have Thursday off

then play the Chicago White Sox 

Friday thru Sunday on the road.  

Next week Monday thru Thursday 

they play the Astros in Houston.

The  Mariners are now second place

a game a half behind the Athletics.

Go M's.

Mariners Lose By One

The Mariners seem to play a lot

of one run games so far this 

season. They won .Monday night

however the Braves did so Tuesday.

George Kirby pitched well giving up

two runs in the 4th inning on a double.

He went seven innings. The Mariners 

scored two before the Braves did in

bottom of the third. JP Crawford hit

another two run homer with Mitch

Garver on with a walk.

The game was tied until the 9th.

Matt Olson hit  a solo homer off

Andre Munoz.   The Mariners need

to find a way not allow their own

pitchers not to give up home runs.

The Mariners and Braves play 

Wednesday afternoon to see who 

takes  the series.  Bryan Woo will 

see if he can rebound from his

last two starts and the hitting

gets going too. 

The Mariners had Cal Raleigh back 

being  dh. He went hitless though.

Go M's. 

Seahawks Rookie Camp

Friday and Saturday the Seahawks had their 

minicamp for rookies and othereho showed up.

First round pick  Jadarian Price showed

his speed in the drills. Also showed that

he can catch the ball coming out of the 

back field. 

Last year the fullbacks didn't get as much

action because of injuries. The Seahawks 

new offensive coordinator came over from

the 49ers. They use full backs to so be

interesting to see how the Seahawks do

this coming season. When Zach Charbonnett 

gets back the Seahawks could use him

and Price in the backfield at the same

time on occasion. 

Bud Clark second pick and Julian Neal 

third round pick both defensive backs

showed how good they are in coverage.

Beau Stephens the next pick is seen

to be important guy at guard. He

was seen both at right and left guard

in practice. Most likely not a starter

he will be valuable as a backup.

Sixth round pick wide receiver Emmanuel Henderson Jr showed his good speed.

Making the roster though will come down

to special teams.

Marvin Jones Jr.  edge rusher was the 

most impressive of the undrafted free 

agents with his speed.  He looks like he 

maybe a keeper.  

We will see how things go in the next

mini camp. Go Hawks.

Mariners End Skid

It wasn't easy to however the Mariners 

ended their three game losing streak. 

With injuries piling on top of that. 

Final  Mariners 5   Braves  4

The Mariners really needed this win.

Again they were without  Cal Raleigh.

Not being specific he has soreness 

on his right side. We see whether he 

will be back on Tuesday or they put

him on the injured list. 

Logan Gilbert  went six innings.

He gave up a home run leading.

off the game then did fine until

the sixth inning where he gave

up three home runs with the last

two back to back leading 4-0. 

I wonder if Logan telegraphs 

his pitches since most of his

runs always are give up on home

runs. 

In the bottom of the sixth JR Ritchie

a rookie who happens to have been

born in Seattle and went to Bainbridge 

High School. He walked Arozarena 

and Canzone when Luke Raley hit

a three run homer which made it

promising.   The Braves lifted Ritchie 

with no outs.  Mitch Garver walked 

and after getting Leo Rivas out  JP

Crawford had a two run home run 

to take the lead.

Jose Ferrer came in the seventh 

recording  although he did give up 

a single he started the eighth 

getting one out. Eduardo Bazardo 

got the final two outs  though he did

give up a hit. Munoz came in the 9th

and recorded the save. 

Tuesday George Kirby will start 

for the Mariners. The Mariners 

before the game had to put reliever 

Gabe Speier on the injured list 

with inflammation to his left shoulder.

The Mariners activated lefty Jose

Suarez who they had claimed on 

waivers from the Braves. Also they

brought back up lefty Josh Simpson 

who they had just sent down without 

seeing any action. Cole Wilcox was

sent down in that move. The Mariners 

 now have three lefties to cover while

Speier is out for now. Go M's. 

Mariners Are Swept

The Mariners were swept by the Royals

losing 4-1. This was all after going 5-1 

on the last road trip.

Luis Castillo gave up four runs in six innings.

The Mariners scored in the third inning 

with Josh  Naylor on a force out.

Things went bad in the 4th inning when

the Royals loaded the bases before scoring

three runs. He gave up the final run in the 6th

inning. 

The only plus was the Mariners were able

to get through the last three innings 

without using high leverage relievers.

Now they take on the Atlanta Braves 

beginning withogan Gilbert. It will

be nice if the Mariners will be able to

game at least two games. Not sure 

yet when Cal will be back in the lineup.

Go M's. 

Another Disappointing Loss

The Mariners lost again to the Royals

by one run 3-2. This reminds me 

some of Randy Johnson losses

as a Mariner on a night they retired

his number 51.

Emerson Hancock pitched a great

game giving up one run in seven 

innings. The story is greater he 

struck out 14 batters and didn't 

walk a batter.

The Mariners were leading 2-1 

when Emerson left the game. 

The Royals scored a run to

tie on an error by Julio that 

doesn't happen often in the

9th. The Royals scored on

a sacrifice fly in the 10th 

The Mariners couldn't match

it. 

Now the Mariners are expected

to start Luis Castillo. We hope

he turns things around enough

for the win.

No reason why however Cal Raleigh 

was scratched from the game. 

We should know more on Sunday. 

Go M's. 

Mariners Lose Friday Night

The Seattle Mariners lost to the 

Royals in the opening game of

this three game series. 

Final Royals 7 Mariners 6

Bryan Woo struggled in the first

inning giving up four runs and

then two runs in the sixth. 

Julio Rodriguez had two two run 

homers in the game. The last

one tied the game.  

Besides Woo the Mariners faced

another lefty.  Still only one win.

Refsynder wasn't in the lineup. 

He is day to day. 

Matt Brash went on the injured

list. The Mariners brought up

lefty Josh Simpson from Tacoma.

Emerson Hancock will go Saturday.

Go M's.

Mariners #1 Pick Kade Anderson of 2025

So far the former LSU standout Kade Anderson the Mariners #1 pick in the

2025 is having a great start to his 

rookie professional career this season.

The lefty is having a very good time

at double A Arkansas Travelers in

2026. He has started four games and 

has pitched 18 innings. The Mariners 

are easing him in after quite a busy

season last year.

There are those who are wondering 

when he will move up to triple A 

Tacoma or the big club. Kade is a lefty 

so he is quite valuable if you know 

what I mean. 

In those four starts he has an era of

.48 which means he has only given

up one run and on top of that he has

30 strikeouts.  He has walked four 

and give up nine hits.

His next start is on May 1 as he

has started his games on Fridays. 

I expect that he will stay in 

Arkansas for a bit longer unless

there is an injury to another 

starting pitcher either in Tacoma 

or Seattle.

Ryan Sloan the second top pitching 

prospect is having a rough start in

his first season in double A. Ryan

is 20 years old and started his career 

in the minors right out of high school.

Expecting some trouble is understandable.

The most important thing with Ryan is 

staying healthy. Kade most likely be on the Mariners next season while Ryan be the 

following year or later next year. 

The question is who the Mariners will

do with the rotation in the off-season.

I expect someone will be traded. 

Go M's. 

Seahawks Rookie Camp

Friday on May Day the Seattle Seahawks 

begin rookie camp for two days. They 

have invited undrafted college free 

agents besides the players they drafted.

After the mini camp we will see who they

will invite back as far as that group goes.

Four of the seven are on the defensive 

side. Two are edge rushers. They want to improve at that position. They are Aidan

Hubbard from Northwestern and Marvin 

Jones Jr. of Oklahoma.

The other two on defense are tackle 

Uso Seumalo of Kansas State and

linebacker Devean Deal from TCU.

The Seahawks could be looking at

adding depth at tackle and linebacker

to add to improve the position.

On offense they signed tight end 

Lance Mason from Wisconsin.

Teams going often with three tight 

ends he could be an added free agent.

The other two offensive players are

wide receivers Michael Briscoe from

Cal Poly and Levi Wentz from Kansas

State. For these two it will be important 

to be good on special teams. The best 

chance to make the opening day roster.

These are the headliners besides the

players they drafted. In all 68 players 

will be in mini camp. We wish them all

the best. Go Hawks. 

Washington Huskies Spring Game Coming

May day evening.the Washington Huskies 

will be playing their annual spring game

as practice come to an end. I am sure

they will see who they may have to acquire 

to strengthen the team with depth at least.

Desmond Williams Jr. returns for his third

season and second as the the starter 

although there was some controversy 

during the off-season with the transfer portal. He entered the transfer portal after he said he would return. Denzel Boston his top receiver

decided to enter the NFL where he was picked

by the Cleveland Browns in the second round.

Now we will see who will be the top receiver 

this season however Desmond will likely 

have to count on possibly five.  Desmen Roebuck could be the leader as he plays in

the slot. With Desmond speed and getting 

out of the pocket he can be a dangerous 

receiver to stop. Last year as a freshman 

Roebuck had 42 catches for 560 yards and

seven touchdowns. The Huskies hope to

see those numbers go up.

On the outside transfer  Christian Moss

and Rashid Williams should be the top

starting outside receivers. Moss has

been hurt so likely won't be in this spring game.Chris Lawson another freshman 

last year who caught ten passes will see some action in the spring game. 

Decker DeGraaf returns to be the starting 

tight end. The third year as a junior. Last 

year Decker had 32 catches for 360 yards 

and two touchdowns. Being an experience 

we should see even more catches from him.

The offensive line had several players 

transfer however they are expected to 

be a good unit. Center Landen Hatchett

has had some injuries though at spring

practice they have tried a few others 

there to including his brother Geirean

who transferred back after a year at

Oklahoma. At this point he is slated to

start at right guard. Touted incoming

freshman five star left tackle will be

Kodi Greene. Next to him at left guard

will be sophomore John Mills. At right 

tackle be Drew Azzopardi. The backups 

will get some good playing time too.

Jordan Washington might be the starting 

running back though slowed by injury.

If not him Jayden Limar a local kid who

transfered from Oregon. Seeing some 

action will be incoming freshman Brian

Bonner Jr. 

The defense will have some changes as

well as new guys. We will let you know

how the spring game goes. Go Dawgs!

Mariners Win Again

Wednesday afternoon the Seattle 

beat the Minnesota Twins 5-3 and 

winning the road trip 5 out of 6.

Quite amazing since the first road

trip they didn't do so.

It looks like we are seeing the team

we expected for the 2026 season.

The Mariners now come home to

begin the month of the May.

Cole Young who we weren't sure

of to begin the season is hitting 

hit right now. He batted .500

on this road trip and he is hitting

well against lefties.  This really 

helps that they are platooning in

right field and  dh. With Brendan 

 Donovan being out they have

had to cover with Leo Rivas and

Will Wilson. Donovan is expected 

to be back when the Mariners get

home. 

Final Mariners 5  Twins 3

The game was tight most of the

game. JP Crawford hit a  solo 

home run  in the third inning.

The Twins scored two runs 

in the 4th.  Stayed that way until

the 7th. Cole Young hit a double 

tie the game scoring Canzone.

The Twins scored a run in the 

bottom of the 7th to lead by one.

Cole Young came up again

in the 9th.  George Arozarena 

and Leo Rivas who pinch run

for Canzone Young  hit a single 

to center scoring both. Munoz 

came in to get the save.

In the 8th inning Matt Brash came

in and threw only two pitches.

He came out with a possible 

injury. More will be known tomorrow.

Brash didn't think it was serious. 

He did understand why he was taken

out. 

George Kirby went five and two-thirds.

He left after walking his second batter. 

Bazardo came in to get the final out.

He started the 7th getting one out.

Jose Ferrer came in to get the final 

two outs. Gabe Speier came in

when Brash had to leave. He got 

two outs then Cooper Criswell 

came for the final out  score Munoz.

The Mariners end April being 16-16.

Bryan Woo will start Friday against

the Royals. We hope to see a better

game then what we saw in the last 

game.  Go M's. 

Mariners Even Series

The final was the Mariners winning 

7 to 1. The game didn't look that

way for most of it.

Logan Gilbert pitched only five

innings. When he left the Mariners 

were down one nothing. The M's 

tied in the top of sixth with a run.

Added another run in the seventh.

They added three in the 8th on a

Josh Naylor home run.  Add two 

more in the ninth.  Luis Garcia 

who pitched  for the Twins in

the 9th was just called up.

The Mariners used four relievers 

after Logan. Only gave up one hit

and no walks.  The Twins bullpen 

gave up five runs. 

Wednesday final of the series is

a day game.  George Kirby starts 

for the Mariners.

The Mariners are now 15-16

and in second place a game and

a half behind the A's. 

Washington State Cougars Men's Transfer Portal

The Washington State Cougars lost ten players to the transfer portal this off-

season which was all their primary 

players. 

At this time they have eight players 

who signed with the team.  Of the ten

who left only six have signed elsewhere.

The Cougars best player Ace Glass

has found a new home at Vanderbilt.

We will see how he does there next 

season. Not every team who loses 

players have had success elsewhere.

Take the Washington Huskies many

if their past transfers have not got 

ahead. A good reason stay where you

are at. Players who have had less

playtime then they  thought leave

to explore elsewhere. It doesn't 

mean it will be a success. There have

bren some who have transferred 

several times to. 

Here is the eight who have come to

WSU already.

Sebastian Akins a point guard is

now transfered for the third straight 

year. Last year he played at Wake 

Forest. He played in 18 games 

averaging  5.1 points and two

assists at 16 minutes per game.

Jaylen Harrell played one year 

at Providence. He is a swingman.

Though a good shooter making 36

percent in 3s  his defense is what

will make his mark as a  Cougar.

RJ Jones a shooting guard  transferred 

from TCU after being at Kansas State.

His first year at TCU he missed the full

season and last year only played in

right games. I am sure the Cougars 

hope his injuries are behind him. He

was the third player to sign with the 

Cougars.

Ronnie Harrison power forward 

transfer from East Texas State. 

This is his second transfer.

He was ETS leading scorer at

14.7 points a game and in rebounds 

at 6.1 per game. He played in 30

games last season.

Fraser Foxburgh small forward 

mentioned before was the first

player who transferred to WSU 

from Manhattan.

Lazarek Houston a point guard 

transfered from central Missouri.

He is known for his scoring 

averaging 20.8 points last season.

He was in the top ten in the country 

in shots made and in scoring.

Will be exciting to watch.

Jamari Phillips shooting guard 

from the Oregon Ducks. He only

played in 17 games last year for

the Duck averaging 13.3 minutes 

a game. He shoots 37 percent 

from the 3 point line. If he doesn't 

start for the Cougars he should

be good coming off the bench.

He shoots 80 percent from the

foul line and is athletic. 

Ladji Dembele power forward

transfer from  UNLV. He played

very little last year. See what

he can contribute for the Cougars.

It looks like the Cougars have done

well so far in the transfer portal.

See if they have any more pickups.

Go Cougs 

. Mariners Blown Out Monday Night

The Minnesota Twins had lost nine out 

of ten games heading into this game.

Luis Castillo has been struggling in

recent outings so the Twins were

looking to turn it around for at least 

one game. The weather was rain

going into it as well plus the Twins 

were starting a lefty. The Mariners 

are now 1-5 against them. The 

Mariners need to make some changes

when facing lefties as well as what 

they do with Luis Castillo who has

a career losing record on the road 

although has a 47-40 at home.

The Mariners expect to have Bryce

Miller back soon as he is on rehab

assignment pitching three times.

Emerson Hancock has pitched 

well. They would like to keep him

start pitching however where will

Bryce Miller fit in.  I don't see

sending either Hancock down.

I would like to see him in the

bullpen if he s me doesn't start for 

the Mariners for now.  This game

was another where the end of the

bullpen didn't work.

Final Twins 11 Mariners  4

Luis Castillo went five innings

giving up 7 runs. The Mariners 

didn't want to over use the

bullpen. Cole Wilcox got four 

outs in relief of Castillo. He 

gave up one run. Alex Hoppe 

finished the game for the

Mariners however gave up 

three runs. This was first 

outing after the M's dfa

Casey Leguimina then trade

him to Tampa Bay. 

We are not sure what the M's 

will do but Hancock needs 

to be on the team in some

way. By one outing we can't 

judge what Hoppe may do.

Cole Wilcox may not be the 

answer in the bullpen either 

in the long run. The Mariners 

do need another high leverage 

reliever though.

Cal Raleigh had another home

run though didn't make a 

difference  in this one. He has

now his 160th career home run

and is tied at number 7 with 

Alvin Davis on the Mariners 

all time list. We should see

him continue to go up. Where

he ends we will see. 

Tuesday Logan Gilbert will

start followed by George Kirby. 

The Mariners will be this coming

weekend. They will be honoring 

the Big Unit Saturday by retiring 

Randy Johnson number 51. 

Last year it was Ichiro number 51.

Go Mariners!

Mariners Sweep The Cardinals

The Mariners finally came through on

this road trip after struggling mightly 

before.

All three games were close however 

Mariners found a way to win. This is

much like last season.

Sunday final Mariners 3 Cardinals 2.

Road trips are usually hard to sweep 

as well as win the series.

Four runs were scored on solo

home runs.  St. Louis had a home run

in the bottom of the third then Cal

hit a home run to tie the game.

In the 6th Nathan church who hit

two home runs Saturday hit another

for the Cardinals.

Cole Young who has done quite 

well hit a single driving in Connor

Joe from second. At some point 

the Mariners may have to move 

him up in the lineup. Joe played 

first base today for Naylor. 

Rob Refsynder hit a home run

in the 9th to win the game. He 

pinch hit for Raley. Luke has 

struggled as of late, whether

he would have if he hit a few

more time it is hard to tell.

Emerson Hancock was able to go 

six innings for the Mariners though 

he had plenty of  runners onboard.

Gabe Speier got two outs in the 

7th with a walk. Bazardo got the 

final out on one pitch and faces 

three in the 8th. Jose Ferrer took

care of the 9th.

The Mariners are now 14-15 in

third place a game and a half 

behind the A's.  The Angel are 

three back and the Astros are

still struggling being four and 

a half.

The Mariners now go to Minnesota 

to take on Twins. They have a record 

of 14-16. They have lost nine of

their last ten games so maybe the

Mariners caught them at the right 

time . Go M's. 

Day Three Of NFL Draft 2026

The Seattle Seahawks were busy on

Saturday acquiring several draft picks.

 The first pick was acquired from the

 Cleveland Browns in Beau Stephens

a guard from Iowa in the fifth round.

The Seahawks are looking at adding 

depth and competition for the right 

guard spot.  Iowa had several players

drafted this year.

In round six the Seahawks selected

Emmanuel Henderson Jr. a wide

receiver from  Kansas who has a lot 

of speed. Most likely he will see

most of his action on special teams 

if he makes the team. He was acquired 

in  a trade with the New York Jets.

In the seventh round the Seahawks 

acquired three picks including the

first and in the round from the

Green Bay Packers. Both of these

are cornerbackd so be tough

competition. They are Andre Fuller 

from Toledo and Michael Dansby 

from Arizona. Sandwich between 

them was a defensive tackle acquired 

from the Jets picked in  Deven Eastern

from Minnesota. We wish them all

the best.

The Seahawks have signed already 

three undrafted college players so

let you know who they are and others

with notable names on Sunday.  

The draft pick of Stephens was for the

4th round pick in next draft. The Seahawks still have eleven picks for next year right 

now.. The two picks in the 7th round 

from the Packers was for the late sixth 

round. The two picks acquired from

the Jets was for an earlier sixth round 

pick. Go Hawks 

The San Francisco 49ers drafted 

two players from University of

Washington. Both players were 

selected in the 4th round. Offensive 

lineman Carvis Wills and cornerback 

Ephesians Prysock. 

In all the Washington Huskies had 

seven players drafted. Edge rusher 

Zach Durfee was the last one  in

the 7th round by Jacksonville.

The Washington State Cougars

Had only one player wide receiver 

De'Zhaun Stribling  by the San 

Francisco 49ers. He was the very 

first pick of the second round. 

Mariners Win Slugfest

Saturday afternoon we were not expecting 

a slugfest with Bryan Woo on the mound

however that happens..We just hope

an injury hasn't happened.

The Mariners have Bryce Miller coming 

back soon. We just hope this was just

an off day.. Woo was only able to go 

three innigs and gave up seven runs.

Final Mariners 11 Cardinals 9

The .Mariners used four relievers.

Jose Ferrer went two innings giving

up two hits, one walk however not

a run. Cooper Criswell went two 

innings as well but gave up three

runs. Mariners not doing too well 

late in innings when bringing in

a reliever like this. I am not sure

why they would do this. Brash 

and Munoz shut the door again.

The key hit was a single into

right center by Leo Rivas with

the bases loaded one out to

drive in the final two runs.

Will Wilson had a home run with

runner on base in the second inning.

It was on his first pitch in his first 

at bat in the majors. Wilson started 

at third base.  Rivas came in for

him after Canzone had pinch hit

and drove in a run two. The 9th

sot in the order drove in five runs.

Julio Rodriguez hit a home run in 

the first inning with Cal on base

 Unfortunately the Cardinals tied

it with two home runs in the bottom 

of first. Cole Young hsd three hits

including a home run. Every hitter

got at least one hit except Luke 

Raley who pinch hit for Refsynder.

Connor Joe had a good hit to

late in the gym when he went

in for Raley. 

We hope that the Mariners can

sweep the Cardinals on Sunday.

Emerson Hancock will go for the 

Mariners.  Go M's 

Washington Huskies Jonah

Coleman was drafted by the 

Denver Broncos in the fourth 

round at running back  The

Huskies had a few others 

drafted too. We will let you 

know they went as well. Go 

Hawks

Mariners Win Opening On Road Trip and Seahawks Draft Picks

The Seattle Mariners beat the St. Louis 

Cardinals Friday night. It ended  where

the Mariners had lost eight in a row 

coming into this game

Final Mariners 3-2

The Mariners  had only four hits

however made the best of them.

Cole Young singled driving in

Randy Arozarena for the first 

run in the second inning. Dominic 

drove in Josh Naylor who had 

walked. In the 6th inning hit a 

home run to win. 

George Kirby went six innings plus

giving up two runs after the two runs

they had run. This was the first loss

on the Cardinals in one run games.

Matt Brash came in the 7th and

gave up no hits. He is having a good 

season so far. 

Gabe Speier started the 8th giving up

two hits and one out. Bazardo came 

and was able to get a grounder into

a double play. Munoz got the first 

two outs then gave up a hit however

was able to strike out the batter.

Bryan Woo will start Saturday against 

the Cardinals. We hope for more hits

in the game and at least one more run.

The Seahawks had one draft pick in

both the 2nd and 3rd rounds. The 

Seahawks have only one more pick 

in the sixth round. We will see if they

will trade up. Next year is supposed to 

be better so they may not do anything.

Bud Clark from TCU  was in the second

round. He played safety in college but

we could see him at cornerback.

Julian Neal a cornerback was picked 

in the 3rd round from Arkansas.

He only played there one season 

after four years at Fresno State

Both could play at cornerback or

at nickel back.  General manager 

John Schneider and his staff will

be sitting around a lot on Sunday.

They could move up or back. 

The Seahawks have 12 picks in

2027. That draft is supposed 

to be better however trading 

several to get additional picks

this year would be good. They

have their own picks in each 

round plus some compensary 

picks for the free agents they 

lost this year. They are expected 

in the 4th and 5th rounds.

Go Hawks.

University of Washington Huskies 

wife receiver Denzel Boston was

drafted in the second to the Cleveland 

Browns. We wish him the best. 

Seahawks Make Their Pick

The Seahawks winning the Super Bowl 

meant they had the last pick in the

first round. There was the thought 

they might trade down however they 

set where they were.

The Seahawks wanted to draft the

replacement for Super Bowl MVP

Ken Walker..Not a big surprise 

they decided not to resign him 

since he has had injuries in the 

time in Seattle.  The injury to 

backup Zach Charbonnett may

have changed their minds but

the amount he signed with the

Kansas City Chiefs I am sure

why they didn't sign him. I guess 

we will see. 

The Seahawks drafted running 

back Jadarian Price from Notre 

Dame.   His teammate Jeremiyah 

Love was drafted third overall 

by the Arizona Cardinals. Love

was Notre Dame starting running 

back and the best one in college 

football.  This means that Price

will be healthier for playing

limited time. Price averaged 7.08

yards per carry. He has a lot of 

speed so he will be a good change 

up for anyone else who plays at

running back until Charbonnett 

returns. Price will be different from

Charbonnett who has carried the

ball a lot when the Seahawks are

close to the goal line.

We will see him in Seattle soon

so it will be good to see him up

close.  The Seahawks will have

a mini camp for the draft picks

as well as any who are signed

as nondrafted  free agents . 

Friday will be round two and

three. We see who they draft 

or whether they make any trades 

to add picks. The pick in the

second round as well as the third 

will be the last pick of the round.

So they could move down.  A lot 

will depend how other teams pick.

Go Hawks..

Mariners Wins Wednesday Afternoon

It wasn't easy however the Mariners 

beat the A's 5-4 so they were able to 

win without losing all three games.

Logan Gilbert was only able to go

four innings giving up three runs.

The bullpen did a good job not giving

up a run until Munoz gave up a

home run to tie in the top of the 9th. 

Fortunately Josh Naylor drove in 

the walk off hit in the bottom of the

9th.  

Josh Naylor and Cal Raleigh each 

had three hits. Cal had his third 

home run in these three games 

against the A's. JP, Julio and

Arozarena had two. Top of the 

order did well. 

The Mariners have Thursday off

then play the Cardinals in St. Louis

over the weekend.

A's Beat Mariners

Tuesday night the Seattle Mariners 

lost to the A's 5-2.  The Mariners 

who had been playing better at

home lost the second night in

a row to the A's. Wednesday 

will be an afternoon game.

Logan Gilbert will start.

The Mariners continue to have

trouble when facing a lefty. 

Rob Refsynder had his second 

hit on the season as he struggles.

His hit though allowed the Mariners 

to tie the game at one. 

Jeff McNeil hit a home run in the

4th then Cal had his 4th home run

of the season to tie again 2-2

in the 5th.

Luis Castillo was only able to go

five innings however he was able

to keep the Mariners in the game.

The bullpen though surrendered 

the three additional runs. Bazardo,

Speier and Wilcox each gave up

a run. 

Cal was dh as Mitch Garver was 

the catcher.  Mitch had a single

in his first at bat but forced at

second. Cal and Julio each had

two hits. Julio drove in the first

run. 

Casey Leguimina who gave up

three runs on Monday was

designated for assignment.

Alex Hoppe was recalled from

Tacoma taking his spot. 

Go M's. 

Washington Huskies Now Have Three New Players

The Washington Huskies men's basketball 

basketball team has two new player 

since the last time I reported. They lost one

as well as we aren't surprised.

Freshman Hannes Steinbach who had

a great season for the Huskie declared

for the NBA. He will likely be a lottery 

pick. Too bad the Sonics aren't back

on as of yet.  On professional level 

the Seattle Storm have begun practices.

As far as the Storm goes Sue Bird is

part of the WNBA broadcast team.

I am sure you heard about her break-up.

Last week the Huskies signed former 

Gonzaga forward Steele Venters to the

roster. On Monday announced that

Ryan Beasley a point guard who the 

Huskies need signed  on too. Beasley 

played three years at San Francisco 

and last year was WCC all first team. 

Last season he averaged  13.6 points 

a game and four assets. 

The Huskies have now eight scholarship 

players. A team is allowed  15 players total. 

Tuesday April 21 is the deline to declare

for the transfer portal though no deadline.

Most college teams start the season 

mostly playing ten players however

when conference play starts in Dec

or January they go down to eight  or

nine who play regularly.  Wesley Yates III

is the primary regular player coming 

back to the Huskies. He and Beasley 

should tantem in the backcourt. 

Nathan Sommerville who was a 

transfer over last season did start 

a few games last season averaged

4.5 points a game and 2.6 rebounds.

The Huskies are hoping for a big 

improvement from him.

Nikola Dzepina from Serbia came over 

to the Huskies in December played in

14 game  is listed at.  6'10. With potential 

he could play a lot next season. 

Jasir Rencher a freshman plan in only

eight games last year is listed as a

forward for the Huskies at 6'5.  

Mady Traore is a power forward at 6'11

out of Paris France.  He played at New Mexico Sate and   Maryland. How much 

playing time  at Washington we will see. 

It will be interesting to see who the

Huskies will pick up over the next few

months. Whoever else the Huskies 

will pickup will see where they land 

as a team next season. Sprinkle fate

as the coach is in question too. 

Ten teams in the  Big Ten made the 

NCAA tournament and Michigan won

it all.  The Huskies need to be better 

than at least one of those teams. 

Go Dawgs. 

Mariners Give A Game Away

 Not the first time however the Mariners 

gave Monday's game away losing to the

A's 6-4.

The Mariners scored two runs in the

first inning beginning with a home run 

from Cal. Josh Naylor drove in Julio

to make it 2-0. In the second inning

Dominic Canzone hit a home run to

make it 3-0.

The Mariners had other opportunities.

Emerson Hancock pitched well until 

the 4th inning when he gave up a home

run. In the 5th inning he gave up two

more home runs to tie the game.

The A's had three more runs in the

8th inning with a sacrifice fly and a

single. The Mariners made it interesting 

in the 9th when Leo Rivas hit a double

to score Cole Young . 

Luis Castillo will start Tuesday night.

We hope a better game. Go M's. 

Mariners Against The A's

.Monday evening the Mariners start 

a three game series against the

A's. Emerson Hancock will start game 

one followed by Luis Castillo and Logan

Gilbert. 

Hancock has started out well. Bryce 

Miller is on rehab assignment with

the Tacoma Rainiers. His next start 

will be his second one. How many

starts will he take before being

activated. Hancock right now looks

like he should still be in the rotation.

Luis Castillo who had a bad outing 

last time could be out however

I am sure the Mariners won't do that.

Into May the Mariners could go to

a six man rotation which they did a 

few years ago.  The Mariners have

three off days in May.  They have 

15 home games and 13 road games. 

Of course injuries will decide how 

the Mariners will go. At home home

games five man rotation would fit

well while six on the road. A lot would

depend on who they face as well. If

the starters can go seven innings 

six starters could go. 

I could see Hancock go back to the pen. 

He deserves to be on the roster no matter

how they go. Being the first one out of the 

pen on some games is a good idea. At

this point he looks like a high leverage 

pitcher. This would come down to how

many close games they play or not.

The A's and the Rangers are tied for first.

The Angels are third a half game back 

and the Mariners are a game and a half. 

The Astros are two behind the Mariners.

The Rangers play three against the

Pirates then next weekend against 

the A's all at home. So things could 

change by next Monday. 

The Angels play the Blue Jays at home 

followed by the Royal on the road.

The Astros who have a lot of injuries 

start out with the Guardians followed 

by the Yankees so this could continue 

to be a hard time for them.

The A's top of the lineup has gotten 

off well while the rest of the lineup 

has not. The Mariners playing better 

at home so far should have the 

advantage.  These could be close 

games too. We hope that Cal and 

Naylor can get going. I have read 

where some fans think that the 

lineup should stay the same as far

as Cal and Naylor go. The Mariners 

have to do something about the

righthanded lineup against lefties 

along with when to pinch hit when

they bring in a lefty when the righty

is starting. 

Raley is one of Mariners top hitters

right now. With Robles out I would 

start him against lefties although

moving him down the order. I wouldn't 

pinch hit for him against a lefty either

unless the Mariners have runners on

base especially late in games. Canzone 

can be a different story. I was watching 

the Phillies vs Braves game on Sunday 

Night baseball. They asked Braves 

manager Al Weiss about pinch hitting.

His answer matches what I think.

Only late in games. I am not sure

it is how Dan Wilson manages or

whether Jerry Dipoto has instructed

him. It would be nice if we knew for

sure. I hope we have a change in that

area. Go M's. 

Update: Brendan Donovan went on the 

Injured list to his groin. They brought 

up third baseman Will Wlison. I guess

they are not looking at bringing up

Colt Emerson yet.  

Mariners Win Sunday

The Seattle Mariners beat the Rangers

Sunday afternoon 5-2. 

The Mariners won the series which is

good. Now they play the A'S for three 

beginning on Monday.  Next weekend 

they play the Cardinals in St. Louis

followed ending April playing the

Twins on the road.

Rob Refsynder led the Mariners off 

with a home run. It was his first hit

this season too. In the second JP 

Crawford hit a two run homer. 

Randy Arozarena hit a two home run

to in the 5th.

Bryan Woo pitch well going seven

innings. He gave up two runs in

the seventh when he began to

getting tired. 

Gabe Speier pitched the 8th followed 

by Andre Munoz who got the save

in the 9th. 

Arozarena along with Luke Raley 

have been the top two hitters on

the season. Go M's 

Mariners End Losing Streak

The Seattle Mariners beat the

Texas Rangers Saturday early 

evening 7-3.

It started in the first inning. JP

Crawford led off with a double 

and Julio drove him in with a 

single. Brendan Donovan was

out and is day to day.

The score stayed the same until

the 4th when Canzone singled 

driving in Raleigh and Arozarena 

who have  been the two best

hitters so far.

George Kirby didn't pitch as

well as he did in two previous 

starts though he recorded the win..

He gave up a home run the sixth.

Matt Brash came in and finished 

the inning.  Luke Raley hit a home

run to increase the lead 4-1 in the

bottom of the sixth.

In the 8th Cole Young drove in

Raley and Canzone. Rivas hit 

a sacrifice fly to score Young.

The bottom of the order has

done a bang job this season.

The Rangers score two runs 

in the top of the 9th. Andre 

Munoz came with two outs

and the bases loaded.

He shut down the door 

Sunday afternoon Bryan Woo 

will pitch for the Mariners. 

Mariners Shut Out

The Mariners were able to beat the

Rangers four straight at home now 

they have lost four straight. 

Final Texas Rangers 5 Mariners 0

The Mariners had the bases loaded

in the first inning with one out but

couldn't bring in any runs.

Logan Gilbert went five innings plus

one out in the sixth giving up two 

runs on seven hits. Not great out

but able to limit the run. The M's 

were able to get to deGrom to go

only four innings with a lot of balls

thrown. They couldn't get to the 

Rangers bullpen either. The M's 

looked out of Sync. 

The Mariners bullpen gave up three 

runs so that didn't help either.

George Kirby will start Saturday 

late afternoon as game is on Fox.

We hope they can get going.

Brendan Donovan had to leave the

game with a hip injury so right now 

he is day to day however we will

see. Go M's. 

Washington State Cougars Qbs and Wide Receivers

Kirby Moore is the Washington State 

Cougars  new head coach. The Cougars

lost several players during the transfer 

portal. They have competition at 

quarterback and wife receiver spots.

Moore a former receiver himself 

and the Cougars known for throwing 

the ball things probably won't 

changing a whole lot.  I am sure

there will be different looks.

Caden Pinnick a transfer from Cal 

Davis is listed number one though

he might not be the starter when 

things end up.  Owen Eshelman 

and Julian Dugger are two other

candidates. 

The Cougars  have competition at

the three wide receiver spots with

seven players. 

Tony Freeman a senior and Daniel 

Blood a senior transfer from Missouri 

who had Moore as a coach are the 

two candidates to be the slot receiver.

The two wideouts listed as first team 

Darrius Clemons and  Tank Hawkins. 

Clemons is a senior transfer from 

Oregon State. He had injuries so not

participating in spring camp yet.

Hawkins is a transfer from Florida.

Backing up Clemons right now are

Branden Ganashamorthy and sophomore 

Jordan Dees a transfer from West Georgia.

Hawkins backup is Ryan McKendry 

a sophomore who transferred from

Los Mendos College in California. 

Looking at tight end senior Jack 

Pedersen a transfer from UCLA.

Next time we will look at the offensive 

line. Go Cougs

Mariners Get Swept In San Diego

The Mariners are now 1-8 on the road 

losing 5-2 to the Padres Thursday 

night. Coming home they play the

Rangers in a three game series. It

will be important to take two out of three

games. Logan Gilbert will start on

Friday. 

Luis Castillo struggled going five

and one-thirds innings. He gave up

all his four runs in the second inning.

He rided the ship not giving up a

run in the remaining time in the game. 

Cole Wilcox came in and got the 

final two outs.  He pitched the 7th

as well and gave up one run. 

The Mariners scored their two runs

in the 6th inning with Cal hitting a 

single driving in Cole Young and

Julio hitting a single to drive in

Donovan. 

The 8th inning the Mariners had two 

runners on base. Connor Joe who had 

pinch hit for Luke Raley earlier had a

nice swing however was caught by the 

left fielder. When he pinch hit earlier he 

had struck out. Also Mitch Garver 

pinch hit for Dominic Canzone. 

This showed the Mariners didn't look

ahead since the 8th inning would 

have  been good to have Raley at

the plate especially when he has

been hot.  Time to move on.

Go M's. 

Washington Huskies Football Wide Receivers

The Washington Huskies currently 

having spring practice.

 Looking at the wide receivers 

Denzel Boston the Huskies top

receiver last year decided to go

the NFL. He might be drafted 

near the end of the first round

or in the second round. Outside

of a very few wide receivers 

don't go in the first round. All

comes down to the player and

whether a team needs a receiver.

It would be nice if he could be

with the Seahawks however

they aren't in need of one. I am

sure they would draft him if he

is the best player available.

Desmen Roebuck who had an

outstanding freshman season 

last year could be the go to guy 

this season. They went to him

quite a bit when Boston missed

a few games. He is listed in the

slot. Right now Kevin Greene Jr.

is his backup.

Christian Moss is projected to be 

one of the side outs. He is transfer

from Kennesaw State and the other

is expected to be Rashid Williams 

a redshirt junior who is in his 4th

year in the program. Last year he

played only in two games with five

catches for 54 yards. 

Chris Lawson and Justice Williams

 expected to be backup however 

they could find their way in for

more playing time. Lawson and Moss

have been slowed by injuries this

spring so incoming freshman Jordan

Clay is showing his stuff so he could 

be the newcomer to get playing time. 

With both Lawson and Moss out he 

is getting valuable time with the first 

unit. 

Next time on Huskies football we will look 

at the offensive line.

We will look  at how the WSU Cougars 

are doing with a new coaching staff

and turnover of players. We will look

at their receiving core.
