Michigan vs. Oklahoma softball open thread
It's the CWS so we're getting this one started early. Arizona State vs. Texas 7 PM Michigan vs. Oklahoma 9:30 PM
Mod edit: Taking a page from Seth's book and bumping the timestamp. If I'm not mistaken this is the last Michigan team playing, and their live event should be at the top over some other stuff. JGB.
What network?
ESPN2
Michigan should be on ESPN 2 tonight IIRC
Taters will be Totted
Careful with that, I understand that can lead to getting kicked off teams.
...but they were ridiculous. Have to buy tickets for 5 games and it is about $150.
Also, Killswitch Engage is playing at the Ballroom in Oklahoma City, so I was considering that as well. Game day is here and I have decided to celebrate my Birthday at home with the wife and kids.
Go Blue. I will watch softball on TV for free.
They wouldn't shut up about it in Louisville, and I'm sure it was the same in Ann Arbor.
Here's a link to the game notes from MGoBlue (LINK).
Per the notes, the probable starters by position are:
(and I do think it's a pretty big if) M can win tonight they just might be able to go all the way. Oklahoma is a very, very scary team, although that's not to say Michigan is a pushover or anything.
ASU v. Texas first pitch just thrown on ESPN2. Winners of this game and the Michigan v. Oklahoma play, losers of the two games play an elimination game.
I was wondering why Michigan wasn't on ESPN, and was hoping it wasn't because of some crap NBA game. However, now that I see the Spelling Bee is on ESPN, I totally understand ESPN's reasoning. Although I was more of a Geographic Bee guy, I have total respect for the participants. Go Blue!
to the airport for the flight down but the weather cancelled my flight. Looks like I will try tomorrow. It is an easy 3 hour flight and the fields are only a few miles from the airport.
Im not sure if Haylie is healthy to pitch.
at liberty to share that information. It has NOT been made public and I was told in confidence.
to DTW when the storms came in. I checked the airline and they said "delayed". So being a pilot myself, I called Flight Service and asked them what they thought my chances were. Lansing Flight Service Station have great weather men. He put my chances at under 50%.
So I tried to make it home before the start of the Texas/ASU game. I will try it again tomorrow.
Southwest has $200 round trip tickets right now. That is almost free.
wow that sucks for the ASU LF
a the DVR and she kept her eyes open all the way in. Her glove did not hit the wall. It is just a lack of focus. Maybe she thought it was going over.
well, she was right at the wall which is a tougher play than peolpe think when you are trying to feel for the wall and focus on the ball flight,
she made the EXACT same play against the same hitter a few innings before flawlessly
if I am the official scorer, Im giving her an error, a 4 base error. No home run.
oh no doubt about it, i'm jsut saying it's not as easy/routine as people think
I wonder if those spellers on ESPN are ever allowed to play outside.
M+4.5, O/U 9.5 (NTO/U). Going by Brian's football method the MGoPrediction would probably be 7-2, them.
M needs to make this a shootout to win, IMO. Thankfully Michigan is probably the second best offense in the country, so anything could be possible.
same field, same channel.
The World Series Complex has only 1 showcase diamond. There are 3 others for practice.
is in the circle tonight.
Come on ladies, lets do it Wolverine style.
Ready to play best team in tourney. Let's get it. Will anyone torrent the college world series games on ESPN2? mgovideo?
Oh wait, this is something else this time.
My goodness. This game will have been delayed 45 minutes when the first pitch is thrown. Am I really going to stay awake until midnight for a softball game? My magic eight ball says, "fuck no."
throw hard. Already she has hit 71 MPH on the gun. We need to swing the bats tonight.
...underhand!?
Doyle struck out. Official game start time was 10:16 PM
Three up and three down.
Lets do this.
OU is pretty good at softball
