cuts just aren’t cutting it.
Remember how second base-
man Dylan Moore managed to
be second on the team in WAR

could even play.”
A new crop of leaders is pav-
ing the way for the Redmond

suffering, they’re still 17-15.
But that doesn’t excuse the fact
that, from a hitting standpoint,
they’re about as frightening as a
Labradoodle.
“We’re not swinging the bats
great right now,” said Mariners
manager Scott Servais, adding
that flip-phone sales and Block-
buster’s profits aren’t great right
now, either (not really). “We
gotta get it going offensively.
We know that we will. I’m con-
fident in our guys, but we’re
in one of those stretches right
now.”
So now that the problem has
been introduced, what’s the
solution? Is it to fire the hitting
coaches the way the Mets did
earlier in the week? Um ... no.
Is it to bring up stud prospects
such as Jarred Kelenic or Julio
Rodriguez? Not sure that’s the
answer, either.
Yes, on Wednesday there was
a fan escorted by T-Mobile Park
security that was shouting ex-
pletives at Servais and scream-
ing, “Bring up the kids!” But as
keen an intellect as that man
likely has, the M’s shouldn’t de-
ter from their plan.
Going hitless may be more
noticeable than scoring one run
one off two or three hits, but
it doesn’t say a whole lot more
about one’s offense. And if the
Mariners weren’t going to make
a move after a poor hitting per-
formance in their final game of
the homestand, they shouldn’t
make one after a no-hitting per-
formance.
This season wasn’t supposed
to be one without adversity. The
fact that the M’s are above .500 a
fifth of the way through the sea-
son is above expectations.
Right now, painful as it may
be to hear, Seattle’s best course
is to stay it. The pitching pros-
pects are the best Servais has
ever seen, and the young hitters,
well, their time will come. And
perhaps the veteran hitters’ time
will come, too.
medial specialists, and in an ed-
itorial last month in the British
Medical Journal. It said mass
events like the Olympics are
“neither safe nor secure.”
Organizers say they will need
10,000 health workers to sup-
port the Olympics. They have
also requested 500 additional
nurses — a nurses’ federation
balked at the request — and 200
sports medicine specialists.
The petition was organized
by Kenji Utsunomiya, a law-
yer who has run several times
for Tokyo governor. It regis-
tered about 50,000 signatures
in the first 24 hours after being
launched.
“Government policies are
being set with the Olympics in
mind, and measures to curb the
coronavirus pandemic are be-
ing neglected,” Utsunomiya told
The Associated Press. “Hospi-
tals are stretched thin, and some
people are dying at home.”
The headline in English over
the petition reads: “Cancel the
Tokyo Olympics to protect our
lives.”
The petition suggests the
Olympics cannot be held
safely and says the games have
drained finances away for other
needs such as the rollout of a
COVID-19 vaccine. Only 2% of
the Japanese public have been
vaccinated. Japan has attributed
10,500 deaths to the virus, good
by global standards but not as
good as many Asian neighbors.
pion, and Breaden Brooks, who
finished third in the singles
state tournament in 2019. Now
it’s the younger Saito brother,
Yoshi, and Skyler Jones, the sec-
ond half of the doubles cham-
pionship duo with Benny Saito,
in charge of guiding the team.
“I just hope to inspire the
younger guys and help improve
their skills and just make them
better,” said Jones, a senior
playing his final weeks of high
school tennis before hitting the
hardwood for basketball. “I
want to get better and improve
my skills but I also want them
to succeed as well, pushing
them and encouraging them
and cheering them on.”
In an individual-driven
sport like tennis, keeping skills
sharp is important so as not to
get passed up by other players.
Jones and Yoshi Saito play mul-
tiple times per week, and from
time to time, square off against
each other to improve.
“We will occasionally hit at
Eagle Crest (Resort) because it
is good to challenge yourself by
playing people of equal or bet-
ter ability than you, so it is im-
portant for us to be hitting and
playing each other,” Jones said.
“When I can hang with him
it’s fun,” said Yoshi Saito, a ju-
nior. “When he is whooping
me it isn’t.”
Although there is some dis-
appointment that there is no
state tournament this year, the
Redmond program is enjoying
the home stretch of the sea-
son with upcoming dual meets
against Hood River Valley and
Crook County next week, be-
fore the Intermountain Confer-
ence Tournament returns.
“It will be fun to make a run
at districts,” Yoshi Saito said. “I
think our eyes were set on state
this year and last year. But it is
too late for that now. We are
just out here having fun.”
