There are good games, bad games, dropped points, disappointments, unexpected victories, and missed opportunities in this beautiful game. For the #Reign, however, playing up two and losing by two is a new one. cascadiafc.com/seattle-reign-… for @Cascadia_FC:

(continued): -apparently the Thorns don't need Bella Bixby or Mackenzie Arnold because they have Morgan Messner -Despite the Reign constantly getting in their own way, a lot of that was the very shorthanded Thorns absolutely balling out. (2/2)

FT thoughts @ThornsFC 🟥🟥2 - 0 @reignfc: -Seattle was up a player since the 9th, up two since the 57th. The #Reign had 74% of the possession in the second half, with 10 shots to one and four shots on goal to one ... and managed to not score. (1/2)

Reyna Reyes is shown the red for her 55th minute foul after VAR review, giving the #Reign a two-player advantage. 57' | 🟥🟥 @ThornsFC 2 - 0 @reignfc

🟥@ThornsFC 2 - 0 @reignfc HT Thoughts: -Reeallllly bad game for Seattle's midfield -Not great game for Seattle's backline -Maddie Dahlien has had some good runs, and that's kinda it for the positives from that half despite the Reign being up a player

Reilyn Turner doubles it up for Portland on a breakaway, giving the Thorns a 2-0 lead despite being shorthanded since the 9th minute. 37' | 🟥@ThornsFC - @reignfc

Pietra Tordin knocks it in for the Thorns, deflecting an inswinger from Moultrie right into the corner of the net. 29' | 🟥@ThornsFC 1 - 0 @reignfc

A lot went right for the 2025 #Mariners. On the list of things that did not go perfectly, Logan Gilbert’s season, at least in terms of meeting lofty expectations. Will he return to elite form in 2026? ow.ly/PfVK50YvF2Y via @NickLee51

The news on JP Crawford appears to be good. He’s returned from Texas where Dr Meister’s assessment was congruent with the team’s. Crawford received an injection, should be back on the field in a couple of days. They will then determine if he can be ready for Opening Day.

LIVE: #TrueToTheBlue Episode 10! 🔷How will the #Mariners work around J.P. Crawford's injury if he's out for the beginning of the season? 🔷Bryce Miller has a positive update. 🔷Is Brock Rodden increasing his prospect stock with his strong spring? youtube.com/watch?v=gcqUQ9…

Both Spring Training and the World Baseball Classic have produced a few points of concern for the #Mariners, but some of these worries are more warranted than others. How should these concerns be ranked in terms of severity? ow.ly/susl50Yv5aJ via @CalBluechel

People forget how strong the Iron Islands were during Aegon's Conquest. Everyone remembers Aegon but forgets that Ser Payton Greyjoy and Detleff Shrum the Braavosian took him and his dragons to day six in the Burning of Harrenhall. High time the Iron Islands get a king back.

The #Reign opened the 2026 season with a full three points against a side that was just above Seattle in last year's table. In the end, it was both luck and skill that made the third time the charm in Orlando. cascadiafc.com/reign-win-2-1-… for @Cascadia_FC:

Pretty good Ichiro impression from Aaron Judge

FT thoughts @ORLPride 1 - 2 @reignfc: -First road win in a WHILE -Ratcliffe/Adames subs made key difference -Mondésir regained her edge as the half progressed -Seattle got really lucky with Orlando missing chances on Reign giveaways -Part of that luck was Phoebe McClernon's skill

Brittany Ratcliffe expertly heads in Coco Mondésir's lofting cross for a go-ahead score in the late minutes! 83' | @ORLPride 1 - 2 @reignfc
