Electronic sports or ESports are played either on traditional video game consoles or personal computers. You may have recently heard of sixteen-year-old Kyle Giersdorf who won $3 million dollars playing in a Fortnite World Cup. ESports have become a billion-dollar industry in a very short period of time. As of 2019 over 115 colleges and universities are now offering some sort of ESports scholarship program. Compare that to just five years ago when there was only one program – Robert Morris U...

Tim Beckham recently tested positive for Stanozolol, which is an anabolic steroid. This is his first suspension, so the penalty is 80 games. Since there are fewer than eighty games left in the season he will have to serve the suspension for the remainder of this season and the first 32 games next season. Beckham will be arbitration eligible next season. This is the second season in a row the Mariners have had a suspended player. Robinson Cano was suspended last season for 80 games. Tim made the...
OLYMPA-The Washington State Parks Boating Program is urging stand-up paddleboarders to be safe by always wearing a life jacket and leash. According to Washington state recreational boating accident data, there have been only six stand-up paddleboard fatalities in the last 29 years, however, four of those have occurred in the last 30 days, according to a State Parks release. "The fact that we've had four back-to-back fatalities is alarming," said Rob Sendak, State Parks Boating Law...
WAITSBURG-Dayton and Waitsburg volleyball players took advantage of coaching from Whitman College Head Coach Matt Helm at a three-day volleyball camp in Waitsburg last week. Camp organizer and middle school head volleyball coach Wendy Richards said she reached out to several colleges and universities and is grateful for Helm, who has more than 30 years of coaching experience, who was the only one willing to provide the home camp. Helm worked with 21 middle school athletes in the mornings and...

Located in downtown Toronto, Canada, the Hockey Hall of Fame is definitely worth a visit if you are a hockey fan. The museum takes up two floors. Most of the exhibits are on the first floor with the trophies and players who have been inducted on the second floor. There are exhibits for every team in the NHL. A special exhibit with a film covering the careers of Wayne Gretzky and Gordie Howe played on a loop. Another section covers hockey in the Olympic Games with jerseys representing each...

From the editor: It's not every day that a Times staff writer gets to attend the Baseball Hall of Fame. In fact, this may well be a first.

This week, Eric shares his experience watching as former Mariner Edgar Martinez was inducted into the club of baseball elites.

With the All-Star break behind us and the trade deadline just a couple weeks away, which Mariners are most likely to be traded? Most fans would like to see Félix Hernández or Kyle Seager moved but both have high salaries, have dealt with injuries this season and have produced well below expectations. These two aren't going anywhere. The Mariners do have a couple of players left that have had good seasons, low salaries and are currently healthy. Domingo Santana's outfield defense is the one blemi...

Since we are at the All-Star break, it's a good time to take a look at some of the players the Mariners traded away this year. Fans are usually very critical of trading away their favorite players and are often surprised to learn how things are going with their new team. Let's start with Robinson Cano. Cano is having his worst season thus far in his major league career. His triple slash line of .240/.287/.360 (batting average/on-base percentage/slugging) are all career lows. With only four home...

Daniel Vogelbach will be going to the baseball All Star Game for the Mariners this year. He was picked up in a trade with the Chicago Cubs on July 20, 2016 with Paul Blackburn for Jordan Pries and Mike Montgomery. This turned out to be a great trade for the Mariners as Pries never made it out of the minors and stopped pitching after the 2016 season. Montgomery currently has an ERA of 6.08 with the Cubs this year. I think it is safe to say the Mariners won a trade! Vogelbach is currently hitting...

Since the season has gone off the rails and more trades are likely on the way, I thought it would be a good time to look at some prospects that are close to major league ready in the farm system. Justin Dunn, an AA pitcher at Arkansas, has a 5-3 record with a 3.46 ERA in 13 starts. He is averaging 11.2 strikeouts per nine innings at double AA while his walks are down to 2.8 per nine innings. Justin was part of last year's trade with the Mets and he could move up the system quickly. Evan White,...
Another Mariner player was traded over the weekend. This time it was the current American League home run leader Edwin Encarnación. He was sent to the New York Yankees for minor league pitcher Juan Then. If that name sounds familiar it is because the Mariners originally drafted Juan and traded him in November of 2017 for Yankees AAA relief pitcher Nick Rumbelow. Juan, now 19 years old, has yet to pitch this season as the rookie ball league he was assigned to hasn't started yet. Apparently, his...

The Mariners took pitchers in nine of their first 11 picks in this past weeks baseball player’s draft. Overall, out of their 41 picks they took 23 pitchers. That works out to 56% of all picks in this year’s draft. The average team takes about 54% pitchers to 46% position players. If you were listening to the local sports station you may have heard them criticize taking so many pitchers so early in the draft. With the Mariners pitching staff currently giving up over six runs per game, pitching is definitely a need. Pitchers drafted, make the...
