Seattle – This promises to be a fun summer in Seattle sports.
The storm beat two first -place clubs and improves every day.
The Seahawks open the training camp in a month for what is really a new chapter in the history of the franchise.
What about sailors? Well, a man promises to make him engage in whatever happens.
Let’s be clear, despite the famous first place at the Astros in Houston, the hopes of the navy in the playoffs remain rather positive. At the time of writing these lines, the baseball reference gives the M 60% chance to make the playoffs while Fangraphs places these dimensions at 56%.
It’s not bad.

The navies have the last Joker point – at the time – and all this after what was a really difficult early June.
Although it can be vain to analyze the dimensions of the playoffs in June, nothing prevents us from admiring the spectacle which is the performance of Cal Raleigh.
“Big Dumper” struck his 31st circuit at the head of MLB on Sunday, continuing a hot section of four circuits in a series of three games against the cubs of first place.
Along the way?

Raleigh has become the first Switch Hitter, in the history of Major League Baseball, reaching 30 circuits before the stars break.
It is the fastest at 30 circuits from Barry Bond. Yeah, this guy who reached 73 in 2001 to establish the record for a season in a single MLB season.
He is the second sailor to have reached 30 circuits before the stars break; Ken Griffey has done it several times. The brand of La Griffey of 35 before the break in 1998 appears well at hand with 20 games to do up to this break.
It is normal that her next milestone is 1998, because even if she was tainted later by allegations of steroids, at the moment, the pursuit of the Home Run of this summer has captured the nation.
Mix the most at home both by a receiver and a switching striker before the stars break – the hall of the famous Johnny Bench and Mickey Mantle, respectively.

This time, propelled by the hard work and the love of Seattle, Raleigh seems ready to give the fans of Seattle something to encourage. He reaffirmed his commitment to our city by signing this six -year extension just before the opening day.
It shows how special it is with the figures already.
In short, Cal’s career year is simply historic by navy and the baseball standards of major leagues.
And with the dimensions of the playoffs on the side of his team at the moment, maybe Cal’s clutch game can also blow up the navies at the playoffs – just as he did with this incomparable home run to win in 2022.

NOW? He has the makeup to be a season that we will never forget.
