    Anaheim Angels @ Seattle Mariners May 31-Jun 2...

    But don't count out the Astros and Rangers yet. They both have two of the biggest payrolls in the MLB at $236 and $223 million, and they've both shown signs of getting better (and healthier). It might end up taking more than 90 wins to take the division. And for those of us complaining about...

    Hitting coach fired

    It's a results-oriented business. The hitting was terrible. Of course the batting ccoach has to go. At the very least. It was the right decision. There has to be accountability. At the very least, you hope that it will shake things up.

    Houston Astros @ Seattle Mariners May 26-30 (updated again)...

    But can it get better? I suppose it depends in large part on whether the two Mitches and Polanco can return to their previous form. As much as I hated to lose Geno, that hasn't turned out to be too bad, letting him go: I think we miss Teoscar Hernandez more. Here's a comparison of the corner...

    Houston Astros @ Seattle Mariners May 26-30 (updated again)...

    Haniger and Rojas came up big in the 8th, but the small things like Bliss drawing a walk and his speed made a difference, too. Putrid offensive performance from the 2nd to the 7th innings. And what was Julio doing in the 1st? Ran us out of a potential big inning.

    Eskridge

    True, I agree. And it really must be the off season that we're digging so deep into the question of what to do with the 6th or 7th receiver on the depth chart, lol.

    Eskridge

    True, we don't know who wanted Eskridge more. But it was documented in a Peter King article that I can no longer find that it was Schneider who went to Pete with the Harvin idea. This article below confirms that it was the Vikings who first approached Schneider to see if he was interested in...

    Eskridge

    Totally agree. I certainly don't defend drafting Eskridge in any way, I'm just theorizing about how JS got there in the first place. Of course, we all know that after we cut him, the Chiefs will pick him up and Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes will turn him into a superstar.

    Eskridge

    Eskridge has been a bust, and I have no trouble cutting ties with the guy at this point. And I do think he was a reach with the 56th pick, so I won't defend drafting him, but I understand the reasons for the pick, and I give you two words that will help you see what JS and the scouts were...

    Colin Coward

    I liked Cowherd when he first started doing radio 20 years ago. I thought he was a good change from the usual angry fan/ex-jock types, and had some interesting and reasonable takes on stuff. More recently, it seems that he's figured out that more extreme opinions are better for his ratings, and...

    Seattle Mariners @ NY Yankees May 20-23...

    I love going to Yankee Stadium. Saw many Mariner games while I was in exile there, sometimes with my son, sometimes with my friend who is a diehard Yankees fan. I was also fortunate to go to a couple of the historical 2004 Red Sox/Yankees playoff games there.

    What has Dylan Moore been eating, and can he share with his teammates? And if only Garver and Polanco were producing like Luke Raley.

    2024 SEAHAWKS Depth Chart and Roster Moves

    The additions/subtractions list with @jammerhawk corrections. Despite losing two starters, I like this year's O-line potential. I also like the safeties we have this year over last year. Pat Kirwan and Jim Miller on SiriusXM NFL channel said they thought the Seahawks safeties room was top five...

    In case you didn't see Taylor Saucedo go crazy on Instagram: He does a great Pete Carroll: "Can you win in the 5th inning? Can you win in the 3rd inning . . . "

    2024 SEAHAWKS Depth Chart and Roster Moves

    Yes, you're right, at least about adding Laken Tomlinson and George Fant (and Nick Harris). The others I think are not going to be significant contributors.
