Julio woke up, Bryce Miller is mortal and Kolten Wong did not have a hit. That and more in your weekly round-up of significance news regarding your Seattle Mariners.
At the risk of looking a dead horse in the mouth, Seattle's victories over Oakland this season should come with an asterisk and an apology.
Forty-six games into the season, it's going to take more than diet and exercise for this Seattle lineup to change some very troubling signs with regard to its longevity.
It's more about what I wanted from my job than what my job asked of me.
Seattle balked at signing Kolten Wong two years ago when he would have made a real difference. The fact he's here now is driving me nuts, and that's not a criticism of him. At all.
I was shocked the Seahawks didn't draft a quarterback this year. I shouldn't have been. The most consistent this team the past 14 years is its aversion to picking quarterbacks.
The attempt to quantify the likelihood of Will Levis's draft-day tumble into the second round made us all dumber. I'll explain.
The Seahawks certainly have a type, and if you've got an RB next to your name, they pay extra attention in the first rounds of the draft.
I'm wondering how exactly Seattle plans to stock the middle of its defense given the direction it went with its pair of first-round choices.
I can come up with a lot of reasons why Seattle will pick Jalen Carter No. 5 overall. I can come up with almost as many why they won't.
The Seahawks won't be taking a player at the position they've valued most in the draft under John Schneider. They probably won't use the fifth pick on the position they value second-most, either.
For years now, the Mariners have been unreasonably good in close games. That's tough to sustain, though, as we've seen through the first three weeks of this season.
