CWS Open Thread: Michigan-FSU
First pitch just around the corner on ESPN. Go Blue!!!!
Would be nice to win this one and not have to do it the hard way this time
We won the first two in the regionals, we haven't done it the really hard way yet.
Here we go! Let’s be some dudes!!
Nice! 1-0 on a bomb!
Decent start.
Another massive UM crowd
Aw. there goes our first four guys have 12 home runs each stat. ;)
1-0 M.
We just need to get the other three to 13.
1 pitch groundout, 1 pitch homer, 10 pitch walk.
JESSE
My wife's watching the season finale of Alaskan Bush People. Aw Nerts. ?
Need a free Internet streaming link?
I’m saving the Bachelorette for tomorrow night
Don't know why, but this is the first thing that came to my mind when I read your post.
NSFW or kids language
Of the 1st four batters, 3 hit the first pitch. In between Brewer had a 9 pitch walk. In all, UM worked the FSU pitcher for 15 pitches.
Good scouting and they are keeping him guessing !
Get one more out to get out of trouble in this inning and leave that guy stranded on 2nd.
Is this fucking ump blind or on the take?
Low strike not getting called the way it was last weekend.
I'm streaming on WatchESPN.com, and there is sound but no announcers (play-by-play or color). Just the sounds of the stadium.
Go Blue!!
You're not missing much.
Me too. No ESPN on my account.
Advanced to 3rd on bad pitch...stay calm.
Dodged a bullet.
Is this the same HP ump as Saturday? Strike zone is brutal. You reward pitchers for painting the corners. Henry being punished for it.
Yeah his control looks great. Up and in or down and away.
None of the calls have really been that bad, you are asking for a generous zone but as long as he's consistent its fine. This FSU pitcher looks tough, not sure we want a generous zone.
LET’S GO BLUE
Espn must’ve learned from WD that Branch Rickey coached at Michigan
Who was that?
So far these strike zones aren’t even close!
Woah never knew that story about Branch Rickey. Glad to see MLB getting inner city kids interested in baseball again.
That Seminoles pitcher is tossing too many strikes.
Vaneyk getting the corner strikes called early, Henry not so much.
Not talking about the game at all but Michigan and Bakich getting a fair amount of love from the announcers
Can't hurt recruiting one bit! That's for sure!
AKOOOOO
They are seeing this pitcher very well.
Awww damn it.
43 pitches thru 2 innings? They'll have to go to the bullpen early for sure.
came up empty there, but at least that pitch count is climbing.
Made him work, over 40 pitches through 2.
Why hasn't Harbaugh attended a game wearing his glove yet?
LOL I haven't attended a baseball game in about 10 years, but I did the same thing. I used to take my nephews to Tigers games, and we'd all be sitting along the first or third base lines wearing gloves. When I heard that about Coach Harbaugh, it made him even more likeable.
Alright, let's make some noise on offense. Henry had a nice inning, let's get him a little cushion!
The ump cam is really cool. It shows the pitch/swing timing much better than the traditional center field camera does. I think the center field camera does a better job of showing the strike zone though. That might be because I'm more used to that perspective I suppose.
Let's keep the revenge tour going. Knocked off Texas Tech for the hoops team and we owe FSU for the bowl loss a few years ago. Get 'em Blue!
Sssssh! Don't say "r*v*ng* tour"
Fucking plate ump clearly favoring FSU
Yeah this ump seems biased
Subtle note during franklins second ab... ump gave the pitcher a wide strike on a curve ball. Franklin inched toward the plate to cover the outside better. Smart move despite the strikeout
Fuck this plate ump!!
