Baseball BTT: Semi-final vs Minnesota Open Thread

Submitted by formerlyanonymous on

Pregame reading:

Game is on the BTN at 7pm ET, just over an hour away.

Brosnahan on the mound for Michigan. He's a redshirt freshmen lefty. Lots of emotion behind his pitches. He can be a little wild, but he's done well about it for the most part. He was a All-Big Ten Freshman teamer.

No word yet if the bar I go to will have their wifi fixed. I'll be tweeting thoughts sporadically. If it's via phone, they may not be as valuable.

Go Blue. Beat the Gophers.

Also worth noting, Purdue has just the bottom of the 9th to pull out an epic comeback. It's 8-2, Iowa leads and is batting in the T9. By the looks of it, this game should be done by 6:40, so Michigan's game may start a few minutes late.

....we may have something developing.  Lorenz led off with a base hit to CF then Dennis was HBP.  Biondi moved both runners up with a beautiful bunt.  Runners on 2nd and 3rd, 1 out.

...with a groundball who flips it to the plate for the tag out.  1st and 3rd, 2 outs.  They're checking Oakes out, but it looks like he'll stay in the game.

...for Oakes.  3-0 Michigan.  2nd and 3rd, 2 out.  Full count for Crank.

Crank pops out to foul territory and we go to the bottom of the 7th, 3-0 Michigan.  No way Oakes comes out for the 8th.

...and it's now 3-1.  Throw from RF was high.  Brosnahan will last 6.2.  Great job by the frosh lefty. 5 H, 1 R (earned), 3 BB, 5 Ks. 

Tyler Burgoon enters in relief.  2 outs, tying runs standing on 2nd and 3rd.

....have runners at 1st and 2nd, no outs in the bottom of the 8th and Burgoon is getting a visit from Maloney.  No one is working in the pen.  Expect a sacrifice attempt to move the runners along.

That last called strike on Biondi was dubious, ime.

Also, I do not want this particular Tyler Burgoon scenario.  Two singles? Make it stop now.
