Head-to-Head Records

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Seattle Seahawks fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.

It’s Seahawks Reacts time!

As always, the first question is whether or not you believe the Seahawks are headed in the right direction. It’s a weekly confidence poll, which last week was at 94 percent. I would expect this week to remain at a very high percentage, but maybe I’ll be proven wrong.

The next question is about the New England Patriots game. Jerod Mayo won his debut as Patriots head coach after a 16-10 road win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Seattle is still a road favorite despite New England’s upset victory, but do you believe the Seahawks will improve to 2-0? Just like last week, the answers are divided by margins of victory. The majority of you were spot on with your pick of Seattle winning by 1-8 pts over the Denver Broncos.

Speaking of that win over Denver, let’s talk expectations. The Seahawks might have won but it was far from a clean game. While the defense was excellent, the offense started poorly before getting into gear in the second half, and special teams was a mixed bag. If we assess the overall performance of the team, did the Seahawks meet, fail to meet, or exceed your Week 1 expectations? This is a roundabout way of asking if you expected them to win, expected them to win more cleanly, or didn’t even expect them to win in the first place. Choose wisely in the survey below!

Check back on Saturday for a separate article with all of the results.

Congratulations are in order for Seattle Mariners prospects Juan Mercedes and Jared Oliva, who were honored by the Texas League for their performances last week with the Double-A Arkansas Travelers.

Per Mariners Player Development on social media:

Have a week!  

@Juan_Mer03 is your @MILB Texas League Pitcher of the Week, and @Jared_Oliva41 is your Texas League Player of the Week!

Neither Mercedes nor Oliva are in the organization’s Top 30 prospects, per MLB.com.

The 24-year-old Mercedes is 9-5 this year on the mound with a 2.86 ERA. He’s made 26 starts for Arkansas, helping them advance to the Texas League playoffs. He’s struck out 119 batters in 138.1 innings and pairs with top prospect Logan Evans to make up one of the best rotations in the Texas League.

Oliva hit .600 this past week with a 1.317 OPS. He is 28 years old and was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the seventh round of the 2017 draft. He played his college ball at Arizona. This year, he’s hitting .294 with seven homers, 32 RBI and 33 stolen bases.

He’s actually got 56 major-league at-bats under his belt. He’s a .179 hitter with two homers and three stolen bases.

The Mariners farm system is widely regarded as one of the best in baseball, but it’s good to see the non-Top 30 guys get recognized for their contributions as well.

At the major-league level, the M’s will be back in action on Tuesday against the Padres. First pitch from T-Mobile Park is 6:40 p.m. PT.
