Not one Texan on Michigan roster.

 

To their credit, no Okies either.

[Moby Ric 2058]

Michigan playing out of their pay grade.  Wonder if they can keep it up, hope hot.  Fuck that whole conference.

[Doyle Hargreaves 301]

Michigan is definitely a nice ball club. Hard as hell to get to the CWS on the road the whole tournament. Now they are 2-0 and they are salty. I imagine they have an army of fans on the way to Omaha to pile on.

From my experience, they are the greatest college baseball team of all time.

Never saw UCLA play until the last game. Just my snapshot assessment was they seemed like they were shocked they weren’t steamrolling. When Coastal Carolina made their run that was pretty much the same look Tech players had.

It would be a great thing for College Baseball if Michigan could win the whole, I am not entirely sold on them but still: three wins away.

Pretty much.  This was a better team than our NC team of '13.  Just forgot that it's baseball and anyone can get hot.

Baseball is the cruelest fucking sport. For example. You probably heard this story a thousand times...but I was on the 1979 Wise County Little League Mets. A group of castoffs that went undefeated 2 seasons. Anyway, in the championship of the qualifying tournament to decide who qualified for the qualifying tournament, we got beat because the umpire called 16 straight balls against the best Latino 9 year old to ever pitch. Ishmael Rivera. That’s right. Years later, Turns out our coach was banging his wife and his sister.

This happens so often it's almost a cliche.

Did a little research.    Leads team in errors (12),  low BA (.252),  but leads team in HRs (10).

We'll see how this story ends.   Maybe the single gives him confidence in the field.

Announcers said he was pretty much DH exclusively last season for a very apparent reason. 

[spystud13 2371]

That, however, was a badass play by their 1B. 

[Tailgate 3022]

Those wall pads need to reach the ground...that could have been uglier.

He did have their first 3 RBIs in the first game.  So in a way it was his lead to blow.

That was a terrible send.  2B in the shift field balls deeper that that.

[msudawg 371]

Hahahaha GOT EM. Dead at the plate. what a throw from the RF.

Weather doesn't look good for today.    60-80% chance.

[spystud13 2371]

More bad Aub defense, 4-1 now. 

[msudawg 371]

Dear Auburn. next time you think you should throw a ball in a rush. Don't ... wow. 4-1 Louisville.

Compounded by P slipping on the wet grass and twisting a knee. 

[CDAK 216]

Didn't look like an error caused by the rain either

As long as the lighting stays away.. should just be wet. Low QPF amounts .

Auburn walks in a runner, then changes pitchers.  Grounder to second, with bases loaded, bumbled by 2nd baseman, then throws wild to home.  2 runs score.

[Cairn Horn88 8277]

B 4:   4-1. L'ville

[msudawg 371]

Nice diving catch by lousiville rf. 4-1 to the 5th.

Tarp’s on, we’re done for awhile.

RAIN DELAY

After first 6 games, all decided by 2 runs...or less, with 9 HRs.

2B was charged with 2 errors. He misplayed the grounder into an in-between hop that ate him up (maybe helped by the baserunner passing in front of him).  The subsequent throw may have been affected by a wet ball. 

[CDAK 216]

Ok, that's fair.  A wet ball could have contributed to the second error.

[msudawg 371]

Well CRAP... MSU / Vandy moved to Wed at 1pm. Loser gets screwed with short rest. 

[msudawg 371]

Auburn / Louisville won't resume until 9pm at earliest.  Maybe they get pushed to resuming tomorrow morning. Game can't start past 11pm tonight.
