Red Sox Takes Series

Wednesday was the final game

of the series where the Mariners

lost 3-2. 

The game  went ten innings. 

The Mariners had Cal Raleigh

as the designated runner on second.

He was able to get to third on

wild pitch with no outs. They were 

able to load the bases but no runs scored.

A common problem they have.

In the bottom of the tenth Devers hit 

a double to score the winning run.

Why the Mariners didn't walk Devers

to allow a force out at any base I

don't know.

George Kirby had a so so game. Only

lasted five and a third innings. Only walked 

one however  threw a wild pitch in the

first inning that gave up a run. He gave 

up his second run in the sixth inning

before leaving. 

The bullpen did a fine job. My only

question was bring in Jonathan

Diaz who recently called up from

Tacoma to pitch the 10th inning.

Had the game gone further I

would understand. 

Dylan Moire singled in Cal Raleigh

in the fourth inning and Josh Rojas

scored the second run with a homer

in the second before the Red Sox tied 

in the sixth.

The series against  the Phillies will

be Woo on Friday, Bryce Miller 

Saturday and Logan Gilbert.

Hope for a better result. Go M's!

Mariners Bounce Back

Tuesday the .Mariners won 10-6.

It does get uncomfortable playing

in Fenway Park. Nice to have Yimi

Garcia and Munoz finish off the

8th and 9th innings.

The Mariners scored first in the

first inning when Justin Turner 

singled in Robles  for his first hit

as a Mariner. Robles had a good 

day once again scoring three times

and had two hits. Played some

good center field as well.

Red Sox scored three runs in the

third. The Mariners were able to

bounce back with five in the fifth

inning. Dylan Moore had one of his

two doubles driving in three runs.

The Red Sox had a couple errors 

as sell that didn't help their cause.

The Mariners scored three more 

in the sixth inning to make it look

like a runaway. Jorge Polanco 

had a double driving in two runs

then Cal Raleigh scored on a wild

pitch from third.  That was all the

scoring on the day for the Mariners.

Luis Castillo lasted six innings. Tayler

Saucedo started the seventh inning

giving up two runs. Collin Snider came

in to get final out however he gave IP

the third run making anything possible

George Kirby starts Wednesday's

game which starts just after 1pm

Seattle time. We hope the Mariners

can win the series.

The Mariners were only able to

make one trade on Tuesday before

the trading deadline acquiring

reliever JT Chargois from the

Miami Marlins. If that name

sounds familiar he once pitched

for the Mariners in 30 games before

being traded for Diego Castillo.

Chargois has been hurt for much

of the season. Though his numbers

haven't looked good this year he

has pitched well for the Marlins.

I am sure everyone was hoping for 

another bat however they did pick

up two in recent days. 

We see how things go for the Mariners. in August. Hope to have Julio back soon.

Mariners Were Blownout

Monday evening Mariners lost

so bad it is a game they want to

forget. Tuesday will be another

game they hope to win.

Final Boston 14  Seattle 7

The Red Sox scored seven runs in

third inning. Logan didn't get through

the third yielding all those runs.

He left with two outs in the third.

There was a questionable call that

went for a walk instead of a strikeout.

Might have made a whole difference

in the game. Of course will never

know.

Trent Thornton who came in for

Gilbert didn't fair any better going

for two innings and giving up five

runs.Gabe Speier pitched an inning 

and a third giving up the final two

runs. What all had in common was

each gave up a home run.

Any pluses in the game Randy 

Arozarena had his first home run 

as a Mariner. Also Cal Raleigh 

who loves to hit home runs in

Fenway Park had one two.

Luis Castillo will start on Tuesday

against former Mariner James

Paxton who recently returned to

Boston after pitching for the

Dodgers.

The trading deadline is on Tuesday.

So we hope the Mariners add another

best as well as a reliever. The Mariners

haven't given up any high prospects

as of yet so they could do so if 

necessary in a high blockbuster trade.

We will find out. 

 

Mariners Make Couple Moves

The Mariners made a couple moves

that are not life shattering however

help them in a way. 

The Mariners were able to trade Ty France

to the Cincinnati Reds for a minor league 

catcher. That adds depth to a position

that is weak. The Mariners recently drafted

couple catchers who were in the top ten

rounds and now another to go with Harry

Ford whis currently on the injured list

with a concussion. Whether that is a

blessing where a team won't ask for

him in a trade we may find out or not.

I am sure he isn't traded words won't

come out that he was hurt. He may not

have traded him anyway.

The Mariners acquired Justin Turner

from the Toronto Blue Jays. Toronto 

received a minor leaguer not among 

the top of the prospects. Turner may

help at first or dh or pinch hitting.

They still need to go and get another

bat over the next 24 hours or so. 

The Mariners take on the Red Sox in a

few hours. It would be nice to win the

opening game of the series. The Red Sox

are having a good season though.

Go Mariners. 

Mariners Sweep White Sox

When you are struggling yourself

it doesn't hurt playing the worst

team in the major leagues. 

Final Seattle 6 Chicago 3

The Mariners scored their six runs

in the first four innings which is a 

far cry from what they have produced

for a while. Randy Arozarena was on

when Cal Raleigh hit a two-run homer

in the first inning. Leo Rivas starting

at shortstop grounded out scoring

Dylan Moore who was playing at third

scored in the second inning. In the third

inning Jorge Polanco and Dylan Moore

each scored. The White Sox their first run

making it 5-1. Cal Raleigh singles driving in Victor Robles the final run in the fourth 

inning. Paul DeJong hits a two-run home

run in the seventh inning.

Bryce Miller pitched well going well into

the 7th inning. He gave up the three runs

and getting only one out. Austin Voth 

finished the inning. Garcia pitched the

8th and Munoz the 9th. The Mariners

bullpen didn't give up a hit. 

The Mariners now go to take on the

Red Sox. Logan Gilbert will start Monday

followed by Luis Castillo on Tuesday 

and George Kirby on Wednesday. Go 

M's.

We will have to see whether the Mariners make anymore moves before the trading

deadline.  

Mariners Take Game Two

When a team is struggling it is

nice to take on the worst team

in the major leagues to recover.

The Mariners had another game 

where they could score some 

runs an Saturday evening was

that again.

The White Sox scored first in 

the third inning came up with

one run.  Luis Robert Jr.  scored

on a single after he got on base

on a throwing error by Josh Rojas

that Tyler Locklear couldn't handle

at first.

The Mariners didn't take long with

Jorge Polanco hitting a solo home

run. Dylan Moore and Josh Rojas each

had dingles driving in two ones making

it 3-2 in the fourth. They scored two

more runs in the fifth when Cal Raleigh

hit a home run followed by Polanco 

second one of the day. Later in the 

eighth Randy Arozarena had his first

single as a Mariner than scored on Polanco's third hit of  the day a single.

As you can imagine Polanco wanted 

to hit a home run however extending 

the lead was what important. The 

White Sox had their third run in the eighth.

Final  Mariners 6  White Sox 3

Bryan Woo started out well however only

went four innings throwing seventy pitches.

Collin Snider pitched the fifth followed 

by Austin Voth in the sixth.

Yimi Garcia made his debut in the seventh.

Gregory Santos was back in the 8th 

struggling a little bit giving up the third

run. Wouldn't expect him to.pitch Sunday.

Andre Munoz took care of the ninth.

The question is will the Mariners make

another deal before the deadline. At

this point they have only traded three

prospects. The only top one traded 

was Jonatan Clase trade to Toronto.

The two for Randy were further done

in the second part of the top 20.

Room to do more damage. The could

trade a couple in the top ten and someone

else between 11 and 20 along with 21

through 30. 

The recent draft brings two more 

pitchers into the top ten and a few

maybe into the top 20. Leaves a lot of 

prospects they could move a few along.

Bryce Miller will start Sunday afternoon

in Chicago. The Red Sox series hasn't been

listed yet who will start. Good chance 

Logan will start Monday followed by Luis

Castillo on Tuesday. Wednesday not sure of. Go M's. 

Mariners Come Alive

It is a good time when your team

is struggling to come play the

worst team in baseball.

On Friday night the Mariners

won 10-0 over the Chicago 

White Sox in  Chicago.

The Mariners hit three home runs

in the first inning in a row. Josh

Rojas started off with a three-run

homer followed by Dylan Moore

and Victor Robles.  Ended the

first with eight runs.  A few innings

later Jorge Polanco hit a two-run

homer to end the scoring.

George Kirby had another quality

shutting out the White Sox for 

seven innings. Bryan Woo will go

Saturday  afternoon and the game

will be on Fox TV.

The Mariners made two more 

trades on Saturday. They acquired

veteran right handed reliever from

the Toronto Blue Jays for outfielder

Jonatan Clase. With the stack of

outfielders Clase was one who could

be traded. He was able to show 

what he had in limited time up

a couple times with the Mariners

this year. We wish him the best.

The Mariners traded reliever Ryne

Stanek to the New York Mets later

in the day for a minor league outfielder.

Stanek showed some stuff with the

Mariners however was wild at times

as well. Garcia will take his spot while

Gregory Santos looks to come back

after bring hurt in the leg on Wednesday.

We will see if any additional trades are

made soon. 

We do hope the Mariners can take 

care of the White Sox before heading

to Boston for three games against

the Red Sox. Go Mariners!
