February 15th, 2020 at 2:48 PM ^
The games are not on MLB TV which sucks.
February 15th, 2020 at 2:55 PM ^
Ozzie Smith. Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time. Long time.
(Except for a few weeks ago since the wife & I started binge watching Simpsons from the beginning. Other than that, a long time.)
February 15th, 2020 at 2:57 PM ^

February 15th, 2020 at 3:05 PM ^
Is that link working for anybody? I just get a black screen.
February 15th, 2020 at 3:08 PM ^
Agreed. Same thing from the last game link that was posted. not sure why this is either.
February 15th, 2020 at 3:22 PM ^
Works for me
February 15th, 2020 at 3:31 PM ^
In trying to find another link for people that cant see the link posted
February 15th, 2020 at 3:22 PM ^
Michigan 1-0 thanks to an error by the SS tossing to 2nd base. That's already the 2nd time the SS and 2B of Cal have screwed up
Cal Poly pitcher already at 25+ pitches in the 1st inning
February 15th, 2020 at 3:25 PM ^
Michigan 2-0. Cal Poly SS fielded the ball and tossed to 3rd but their 3rd baseman wasn't on the bag lol
February 15th, 2020 at 3:25 PM ^
Link is working for me
Michigan up 2-0 bases loaded 1 out 1st inning Michigan batting
February 15th, 2020 at 3:26 PM ^
3-0 Michigan still up bases loaded 2 out 1st inning
February 15th, 2020 at 3:27 PM ^
The link is working for me, but I'm in Brittany on a French server.
Much appreciate the links, as this is the only way to connect to UM sports from this neck of the woods.
February 15th, 2020 at 3:28 PM ^
Getting the Ca Poly pitcher to throw 38 pitches in the top of the 1st is something.
February 15th, 2020 at 3:38 PM ^
Michigan starter had as easy an inning as it gets in the bottom of 1st
11 pitches,all soft grounders
3-0 Michigan heading to top 2nd,top of the Wolverine order due up
February 15th, 2020 at 3:45 PM ^
Here's a link to Live Stats from the Cal Poly site. MGoBlue's site link not working, as happens quite often on the official M Go Blue site.

Joey Velazquez in the lineup?
February 15th, 2020 at 4:17 PM ^
Nope, not today. Michigan has a lot of outfield depth, enough that I'm not necessarily sure how he works his way into the regular lineup this season, especially since he's going to miss a month and a half with spring football practice.
With Bullock, Clementi, Franklin and probably Nwogu gone after this season, he has a real shot at starting next year.
February 15th, 2020 at 4:06 PM ^
Can somebody help me understand why we are playing two games today? Seems like a challenge to schedule 4 games in 3 days right of the bat this season.
How big is the college baseball roster? Do we expect most position players to play both games or do we have enough bodies to rotate?
February 15th, 2020 at 4:19 PM ^
College baseball usually play Wed (mid week) then Fri-Sat-Sun and you will see a few double headers,based on weather
The rosters have between 35-40 players.i think Michigan has 39 ..We have a ton of pitching,so 4 games in 3 days seems ok
One bright spot .. Michigan has two guys injured that are very close to returning their Closer Willie Weiss who will be a MLB in a couple years

Yep. Coach Bakich and his staff have done a great job of getting next level talent to Michigan.
Now it's time to reign over the Big Ten like it's our personal fiefdom and then ball on the national stage
.
February 15th, 2020 at 4:25 PM ^
It's a challenge, but only given the strength of the opponents. It's pretty normal to schedule 4 games the first weekend of the season, but Michigan always preferred a cupcake opponent in Florida. Michigan is going for a top 16 seed this year so they are skipping many of the usual February cupcakes in favor of some RPI top quadrant games.
Four games a week isn't all that hard on anybody other than the pitching staff. We probably see Jimmy Obertop catching the second game, and Donovan at DH, because it's hard to catch 18 innings in a day, but the rest of the lineup shouldn't change much other than for platoon purposes.
The strange thing about the extra game today is that it's in a different stadium about 20 minutes away by car/bus, so Michigan will have 2 hours or less in which to make the 20-minute drive from Scottsdale to Tempe.

Michigan up 3-0 heading to top 4th
February 15th, 2020 at 4:46 PM ^
An error, a walk, a balk, and a 2-run single put Michigan up 5-0 in the top of the 5th.
February 15th, 2020 at 5:52 PM ^
Michigan up 5-3 2 out bottom 7 .. Cal Poly has bases loaded and #3 hitter up
February 15th, 2020 at 6:12 PM ^
Michigan up 6-3 top 8
Michigan batting with bases loaded 0 outs
February 15th, 2020 at 6:15 PM ^
Bases loaded in the top of the 8th too.
Cal Poly walked in two runs, 7-3 and a pitching change coming.
Six errors by Cal Poly.
February 15th, 2020 at 6:20 PM ^
Matt Schmidt seems like the real deal
February 15th, 2020 at 6:56 PM ^
Got away with the win, 8-5. Cal Poly loaded the bases in the bottom of the 9th, but some typically great defense from Blomgren at shortstop gets the last 2 outs to preserve the win.
Now it's on the bus for the drive to ASU. That game will start a little late, I would think.
February 15th, 2020 at 7:01 PM ^
Don't they play Uconn tomorrow at noon?
February 15th, 2020 at 7:10 PM ^
Yep. 10 am MST.
But they play ASU tonight in a game scheduled for 6 pm MST.
February 16th, 2020 at 10:23 PM ^
This is a really stupid question because I haven't followed Michigan baseball since before last season's run. How the F does Michigan play home games in February and March? Weather is not optimal, obviously. Just grin and bare the 30F or less temperatures and occasional snow?
