The Rainiers lost the final game in Las Vegas on Wednesday, 11-4, ending the team’s five-game win streak.
The team is off on Wednesday before opening a big holiday weekend series against Fresno on Thursday night at 7:05. Tickets are still available for all four games, including both fireworks nights (Friday and Sunday).
As you may have heard, I’ve been asked to work the Mariners broadcast with Rick Rizzs on Wednesday (12:40, 710 AM). It’s an honor to get the opportunity to call a Mariners game, and hopefully I won’t mess it up too badly.
It’s a one-day assignment – I’ll be back with the Rainiers on Thursday. I’ll do a post about the experience on Thursday or Friday.
Special thanks to Randy Adamack of the Mariners for giving me the opportunity!
Looking forward to listening to you!
Congrats!
break a leg!
You sounded great Mike, good job. Question for you. Since the Mariners called up both Rainiers catchers, who will be catching for the Rainiers now?
Great job!
Mike, I was at Wednesday’s Mariners game with my son, but we were able to hear you broadcasting at times as well. You did a great job, as you always do. The Mariners would be smart to give you more than a one-day assignment…your experience and abilities clearly merit a long-term stint. Hope you get it.
Greg
Mike,
You sounded great!

Great job on the radio Mike. I’d like to see you get the permanent gig alongside Rizzs next year, though I’d miss not hearing you call Rainiers games.
