The Seattle Mariners, all season long, kept pitching Luis Castillo and lost so many games because of it. Then President Jerry Dipoto traded the disgruntled Castillo to the Chicago White Sox for Seranthony Dominguez and prospect Boston Smith.

The White Sox took on all of Castillo's contract and sent more money on top of it to the Mariners.

At first, this trade looked like a huge loss. Dominguez for the Mariners allowed 4 runs in 1/3 of an inning, while Castillo, against a horrible Cincinnati Reds offense, pitched a seven-inning shutout with 10 strikeouts.

Castillo has reverted back to who he is, allowing 5 runs in 4 innings, 3 runs in 4.2 innings, and recently gave up 4 runs in 2.2 innings, allowing 8 hits.

For the White Sox, he's 1-1 with a 5.89 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, and 2.5 home runs per 9 innings. The White Sox are 1-3 in his starts.

Meanwhile for the Mariners, Dominguez, after that disastrous first outing, has pitched well.

Since that one awful outing, which messed up his numbers, Dominguez has allowed three runs in seven innings in his last nine appearances. Dominguez has played a critical role in the last four Mariners victories.

The crown jewel of the trade is catching prospect Boston Smith.

Smith for the Arkansas Travelers is hitting .302/.422/.774 for a 1.196 OPS with seven home runs in only 53 at-bats.

Keep in mind the Texas League is a pitchers league, and most of the Mariners best prospects have struggled to hit there.

It's as if Dipoto pulled off another incredible deadline move once again.

Dipoto somehow managed to get a top prospect, the White Sox, to take on the entire contract and still found a way to take back a player who can contribute to this team.

These kinds of trades and farm building are why I've been hesitant to call for Dipoto's firing.

Keep in mind that Dipoto did not hire Dan Wilson; John Stanton did.

Dipoto has done his best to give his incompetent manager all the help he needs.

Hopefully, getting rid of Castillo, as I predicted, was a huge addition-by-subtraction trade to win the division.

The Seattle Mariners got a reminder of how their bright future could help their present playoff hopes.

The much-anticipated Major League debut of LSU Tigers National Champion Kade Anderson didn't disappoint.

Anderson, who was so relaxed prior to the game, was signing autographs, which is rare for a game-day starter to do.

Anderson looked poised out there and dominated the Chicago Cubs for four innings, then battled through a fifth inning.

All year long, down in Double-A Arkansas, they've been having Anderson throw around 70 pitches, with 80 being his highest.

At 72 pitches and facing the Cubs lineup for a third time, manager Dan Wilson had Anderson start the sixth inning.

The national announcers on Fox questioned it, and Hall of Famer John Smoltz said if a guy gets on, then you pull Anderson.

Facing the possible National League MVP on an 0-2 pitch, Anderson nearly gave up a game-tying home run to Pete Crow-Armstrong. Anderson then got a double play due to a terrible base-running mistake by PCA.

Facing Alex Bregman, who is right-handed, and having thrown 79 pitches, it would have been a perfect time for Wilson to pull Anderson and have his debut be 5.2 innings, 3 hits, 1 run, and 5 strikeouts to a loud, standing ovation.

Unfortunately, Wilson is the worst manager in baseball. To all our new fans from the states of Louisiana and Arkansas, be warned that manager Dan Wilson is unqualified for this job.

Wilson left Anderson out there to give up back-to-back home runs on pitch number 80 and 81.

Anderson, then, was pulled, but he looked dejected, and Wilson couldn't have screwed up his debut any worse.

Luckily, the players found a way to win in spite of Wilson's gross incompetence.

The positive is that Anderson, against a really good Chicago Cubs lineup, looked like a major league starter, and in September, as he builds up arm strength, perhaps he can go deeper into games.

At the same time Anderson was starting, the Mariners other top pitching prospect, Ryan Sloan, was pitching for the Double-A Arkansas Travelers.

Sloan was dominant, going 5 innings, allowing only 1 hit, 1 run, no walks, and tying a career high with 11 strikeouts.

Sloan threw only 69 pitches, yet had 21 whiffs (swings and misses).

Ryan Sloan since May 9th: 14 games, 2.74 ERA, 69 IP, 59 H, 5 BB, 91 K.

The Mariners also saw top-hitting prospect Lazaro Montes, down in Triple-A Tacoma for the Rainiers, hit his 37th home run as he went 3 for 3 with a home run, 3 runs scored, and 2 walks.

The Mariners have a talented roster, although it doesn't show due to a terrible manager, Dan Wilson.

The Mariners have four young prospects who could make a difference: Kade Anderson, Ryan Sloan, Michael Arroyo, and Lazaro Montes.

I hope the Mariners consider calling up Sloan and having him in the bullpen, as the bullpen needs help.

As for Anderson, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if he ends up being one of the Mariners playoff starting pitchers.

Hopefully, Manager Dan Wilson can stop making these games harder than they need to be.

The Seattle Mariners just witnessed one of the greatest individual performances in franchise history yesterday with their lone All-Star representative, Randy Arozarena.

Arozarena became just the third player in Major League Baseball history to hit a home run on the first pitch of the game, then a home run on the last pitch of the game.

In a twist of fate, earlier this week, Chicago Cubs star Pete Crow-Armstrong became the second to do it.

The Mariners, thanks to manager Dan Wilson's incompetence, found themselves trailing 4-2 entering the bottom of the 9th inning.

After a two-out rally by Weston Wilson and Leo Rivas, Arozarena hit the ball dead centerfield for the walk-off.

Arozarena had three hits, two home runs, including a walk-off, and also stole a home run.

The only guy in franchise history capable of such a game would have been Ken Griffey Jr., until Arozarena did that.

What made the moment so special was the first guy to congratulate Arozarena by dumping Gatorade on him and hugging him: Cal Raleigh.

There was a ton of unnecessary drama over the World Baseball Classic, and hopefully, fans can stop talking about it.

The Mariners rallied from 4-2 down to win, while simultaneously, the Houston Astros, who led 3-0, lost to the lowly Athletics.

Arozarena has his flaws, but as I've been saying all year long, his positives outweigh the negatives.

On October 7, 1972, the 11th-ranked Washington Huskies, under the leadership of Ashland, Oregon native Sonny Sixkiller, clashed with the Oregon Ducks, spearheaded by future Pro Football Hall of Famer Dan Fouts.

The two teams had previously split their matches, with the Huskies securing a 25-23 victory in 1970 on a last-second field goal, while Fouts propelled the Ducks to a 23-21 triumph in 1971.

The Huskies ultimately emerged victorious in the decisive match, winning 23-17 in another exhilarating contest.

Despite battling injuries and illness, Sixkiller threw three touchdowns, whereas Fouts completed 21 of 47 passes for 231 yards and a touchdown.

The Huskies dominated the first half, leading 16-0, but failed to score on three series inside the Oregon 10-yard line in the second half.

Trailing 23-10, the Ducks scored a touchdown and recovered an onside kick, with Fouts leading them down to the Huskies' 10-yard line with 39 seconds remaining.

However, the Huskies' secondary, led by All-American corner Calvin Jones, successfully thwarted all four of Fouts' passes, including the final attempt, which Jones deflected.

Interestingly, 51 years later, the Huskies defeated the Ducks 36-33 in an epic game featuring standout quarterbacks Michael Penix Jr. and Bo Nix.

The Seattle Mariners overcome manager Dan Wilson horrific managing to walk off the Chicago Cubs 5-4 on a Randy Arozarena two run home run.

Arozarena had three hits, robbed a home run and hit a home run on the first pitch of the game and the final pitch of the game.

Mariners Kade Anderson in his major league debut dominated through 5 innings allowing one run and five strikeouts.

Anderson had only pitched 80 pitches once and Wilson left Anderson in to give up home runs on pitch number 80 and 81.

The Mariners were down to their last out then Weston Wilson had a two out double, then Leo Rivas last nights hero had an RBI base hit to pull within 4-3.

Then Arozarena went dead center field for the walk off home run as the Mariners win it 5-4. The Texas Rangers and Houston Astros also lost as well.

Breaking News: Seattle Mariners Brendan Donovan was hit in the head by a baseball in the batting cages prior to the game.

Donovan is currently being evaluated.

Donovan in his last 7 games was hitting .379/.455/.448 with 7 RBI’s and 4 walks to only 4 strikeouts.

Hopefully for Donovan this injury isn’t too serious as he’s been a huge reason why the Mariners offense has had a resurgence.
