Mariners Beat Angels Again

The Mariners beat the Angels

9-3 to have a minisweep and

win the seventh series in a roe.

The Mariners offense is still

doing the job getting runs early

and having a big inning even

late in the game.

The Angels scored a run in the

first inning than the Mariners 

scored two in the second. The

game was tied at 3-3 until the

seventh when the Mariners

scored six. Arozarena  had a

solo home run in the second.

The Mariners played small

ball in the seventh. Leo Rivas

had a big game and getting

two hits in the seventh. He led

off with a single then Samad

Taylor in his first start after

being called up put down a

bunt single. JP had a single to

drive in them both. Julio had

a double to drive in JP. Cal

had a single to drive in Julio.

Arozarena had another hit.

After a couple outs Rivas

had his second hit of the

inning hitting hard off the

first baseman scoring scoring

Cal and Arozarena.

Though Williamson didn't

get a hit the bottom of the

order has done done a fine

job in recent games. 

Emerson Hancock started 

and went six innings though

not as good as his previous

start he kept the team in

the game giving up the

three runs on nine hits. The

three relievers who went

shut the door only allowing

one hit and a walk in the

three innings of pitching.

This game allowed Andre 

Munoz not having to pitch.

The Mariners have Thursday

off so if the Mariners have 

to use Munoz on Friday in

Texas he has the two days 

off.

The Mariners brought up

outfielder Rhylan Thomas

from Tacoma. Luke Raley

is expected to miss six

weeks. Thomas is a left

handed bat so we will

see him and Taylor a 

righty we should see these

two to platoon at least until

Dylan Moore comes off the

injured list next week. 

Bryan Woo is scheduled to

start on Friday against the

Rangers. Luis Castillo most

likely on Saturday and Logan

Evans on Sunday. Woo's last

start was last Thursday so

a lot of rest. Castillo and 

Evans will be a week apart.

The day off Monday and

this Thursday giving the

starters good rest. Help 

them all. Go M's.

Another Win For Mariners

The last six series the Mariners

lost the first game than won

the two remaining games in 

each.

Tuesday night the Mariners beat

the LA Angels 5-3.

Bryce Miller pitched five innings.

He gave up only two hits and walked

five. He didn't give up a run.

Collin Snider came in the sixth

and gave up a hit. Carlos Vargas 

gave up a run in the seventh.

Gabe Speier gave up two runs

in the eighth. Second outing 

giving up runs after none before

then. I hope he doesn't have an

injury however it wouldn't surprise

me. Again Andre Munoz took care

of the ninth.

Jorge Polanco who was player of

the week keeps his hot hitting.

He had two home runs and drove

in all five runs. We hope when he 

cools down he still continues

hitting.

The Mariners and Angels play

Wednesday afternoon in second

of a two game series. Emerson

Hancock will start. Go M's.

Luke Raley hurt himself  in

batting cage so he missed

the game. We will have to

see whether he will have to

go on the injured list or be

day to day. So Wednesday

a day game won't be surprised

if he is out for that game as a

caution..

Huskies Men's Basketball Transfer Portal News and More

Tge Washington Huskies men's basketball team took a hit on this

coming season recruiting class.

Incoming freshman and McDonald

All-American power forward Niko

Bundalo has decided to enter the 

transfer portal after committing

to the Huskies back last November.

Probably the main reason is the

Huskies signed two power forward a

since his commitment. He may feel

that he won't get the playing time

he anticated when signing with the

Huskies. This could be true and his

agent or coaches may have spoken

those words to him.

The NCAA needs to make some

rules in regarding to the transfer

portal and incoming freshmen

recruits.  I have mentioned before

that when a player leaves a team

they shouldn't be allowed to play

for a team in the same conference.

Schools should not go after players

as well. If the player seeks out a

school that makes sense. I believe

a player can only accept from one

school during the year. Other words

he can't change his mind. The only

exception is that the coach gets 

fired or leaves for another job. If 

the coach gets fired and is hired

elsewhere the player can follow to

that school. If the coach leaves

the player can to but not to the

school the coach goes to for a

year anyway. Those are not the

rules now but my opinion.

Tuesday Dylan Moore went on

the injured list for ten days for

a hip injury. The Mariners have 

brought up Samal Taylor from

triple A Tacoma. He most likely

play against lefties in right field

though he has played some 

infield as well. Miles Mastrobuioni

is the top utility player now though

he hits from the left side. He and

Leo Rivas will likely share second

base and he may play third base

against some righties. It looks

like Dylan won't be gone long

since retroactive to March 26.

The Mariners have a short series

having two games at home Tuesday

and Wednesday. The Mariners go

for three games beginning Friday 

At Texas Rangers then the A's at

Sacramento before coming back

home for two series against

Toronto and the New York Yankees.

Bryce Miller will start Tuesday nights

game against the Angel. Emerson

Hancock will start the second game

on Wednesday afternoon. 

Jorge Polanco was named player

of the week in the American League.

The Mariners are now in first place. 

Go M's. 

Mariners Minor Leaguers

We have already seen a few of

the fruits of the fruits of the

minor leaguers because of

injuries to there major league 

players.

The Tacoma Rainiers are now

11-16 and 3-7 in their last ten

games. Logan Evans the top

pitcher for them made his

major league debut on Sunday

and recorded a victory.

Tyler Locklear has been hot

lately now hitting .333. The

first baseman could be called

up anytime if the position 

continues to be an issue.

Harry Ford is hitting .220.

It would be nice if his average

was higher which it could be

if he were playing more often.

Samad Taylor continues to hit

well at .321 and leads the Rainers

with five home runs. He mainly

is playing the outfield though

he can play the infield too.

Matt Brash continues his rehab

assignment at Tacoma. He has

pitched  in five games so far. The

Rainiers will be going on the

road this week after being at home

this last week. They will be playing

at Las Vegas. We see whether Brash

will go with the Rainers or be called

up to the Mariners. 

The Arkansas Travelers are at top

of their league with a record of

14-7.  Outfielder Jared Sundstrom

leads them with an average of

.294. They are not a home run 

hitting team as he leads with two.

Center fielder Billy Knight has

a .286 batting average and leads

with ten stolen bases.

In the pitching department Garrett

Hill has an era of 1.09 in four starts

and Adam Seminaries has 1.47

in same amount of starts. Neither

has pitched a lot of innings. The

strength is in the bullpen where

five have had outstanding seasons

so far with three not given up an

earned run yet.

The Everett Aqua Sox are still

at slow start with 8-13 record.

Top prospect Colt Emerson

is hitting .273. Still looking for

his first home run of the season.

Lazaro Montes is hitting .250

with five home runs and 14 RBIs.

He has 18 walks.

Last year's number one pick

Jurrangelo Cijntje has pitched

in six games with four starts.

Throwing both ways he has

pitched right handed primarily

in his four starts while throwing

left handed in his two relief

appearances. He has gone 17

innings total giving up ten hits 

with three being home runs.

He has walked 13 while striking

out 22. The opposing team

batting average is .167. He throws

around 96 miles an hour on average

from both sides.

Reliever Tyler Cleveland in seven

relief appearances hasn't given 

up a single earned run yet. He has

walked four while striking out

ten in 11.1 innings. The Mariners

are showing they have some good

relievers in the minor leagues.

The Modesto Nuts continue to

do well at low A class having a

15-6 record.

Second round pick from 2024

Ryan Sloan coming  out of high 

school has started three games.

He is being pitched carefully

going only 8.1 innings so far. 

He has four walks and 12 strike 

outs.

The Mariners number two 

shortstop prospect Felnin 

Celesten continues to do

well hitting .343. When 

Emerson moves up to

double A then Celesten will

move up to Everett. 

The Mariners have Monday

and Thursday off this week.

We will update this again 

next week.

Mariner Win Another Series

Tge Seattle Mariners win their sixth

series in a row. It hss been interesting since they lost the first game in a

series.

Final Mariners 7 Marlins 6

The Mariners got a big lead then

Trent Thornton gave up a three-run 

homer in the eight inning.  Not

sure why he has been pitching

that inning since has had trouble

giving up homers. He has an era

of 7.71 on the season. He did

the same in Boston.

Logan Evans went five  innings

in his major league debut giving

up two runs. Able to get the win.

Jorge Polanco continues to hit

having three hits. Cal hit another

homer run and JP Crawford hit

another key homer. 

The Mariners have Monday off

before facing the Angels on

Tuesday at home. Go M's

Seattle Seahawks Undrafted Free Agents

The Seattle Seahawks signed

eleven players after the draft 

was over as free agents. Five

on offense and six on defense.

None of the names are familiar

though a few from the Big Ten.

On offense they signed a running

back, wide receiver, tight end, center

and tackle. All positions they

drafted  except center. See how

much of a chance to make it.

On defense they signed three

edge rushers, a linebacker and

two cornerbacks. The best chance

is being on the practice squad

however one or two could make

the team though a long shot.

Unlike last season Carson Bruener

was the only  draft from the

 Huskies by the Pittsburgh Steelers

at linebacker. His best chance for

Bruener is on special teams. Kyle

Williams was the only Washington

State Cougar by the New England

Patriots at wide receiver in third

round.

A few Washington players who playedi

were drafted. Wide receiver Emeka

Egbuka from Ohio State and Steilacoom high school in the first

round by Tampa Bay. Josh Conerly Jr.

offensive lineman from Oregon was

drafted by Washington Commanders

in the first round.

JT Tuimoloau edge rusher from Ohio 

State and Eastside Catholic was🤗😉00 drafted by Indianapolis Colts  in the 

third round. 

That is it for lp

Mariners Shutout Marlins Easily

The Seattle Mariners took care of

the Marlins easily Saturday night.

Final Mariners 14  Msrlins 0

Thr game started out with Julio

and Polanco hitting back to back

home runs. By the time the first

Winning was over the Mariners had scored six runs. In the fourth 

inning Polanco hit his second

home run of the game. Later

on Mitch Garver pinch hit for

Cal And hit his first home run

with one run on base.

Rookie Ben Williamson and

Miles Mastrobuoni each had

two hits. Williamson drove in

four runs while Mastrobuoni

had three. I all the recent 

series where the Mariners 

came back after losing the 

first game we will see if

the Mariners can do it again.

Luis Castillo went six innings

giving up only one hit. He 

walked two and struck out

five batters. He looked much

better in this outing.Troy 

Taylor who was called up

pitched the seventh inning.

He gave up a hit and that

was it.He was followed by

Casey Legumina who gave 

up one hit. Much better than

his last. Tayler Saucedo who

came in the ninth to finish.

The Mariners have called up

Logan Evans to start on Sunday.

This will give the starters an 

addition days off. The Mariners

will have another day off on

.Monday. This will give the 😁

Mariners additional  time off.

Go M's.
