M Baseball beats Nebraska 18-8. 2nd game at 6 pm.
Results from the first game and a start for a second thread. Time for the second game is per the Detroit News. It may be different depending on the Minnesota-OSU game, I suppose.
The winner advances to the championship game Sunday.
Game will start at about 7:40 pm EDT.
Thank you. It's too bad I can't edit the OP.
BTN just said 7:43 Eastern
7:40 or 7:43 start? It doesn’t seem like anyone knows.
19:43
Minnesota just beat The Ohio State which is good because first anytime The Ohio State loses that is good and second it forces them to play again late tonight so if we win this evening our opponent will be tired.
Are we still firing Bakich?
No, just moving his desk to the basement and taking his stapler.
Eh, he's a heckuva coach. Doesn't mean I'd let my kid play for him.
Are there any rules about how late Minnesota/OSU can start?
I heard 9:59 local time curfew, so there is no chance they will play tonight if that’s the case because they require 1 hour between games for warmups, our game will be lucky to be over by that time.
In the other thread MaineGoBlue said they have to get the first pitch in by 10:00. Here's hoping they have to play their play-in tomorrow.
B1G site says 10:30 but the curfew is confirmed as 9:59 first pitch... maybe they’re making an exception for the tournament. Back 2-3 years ago there was a controversy because it was about 9:15 when the last game finished but they refused to allow the next game to start.
Either way it is not a good situation for minn or the other team.... finish a game at 2-3am or get rest and play two.
Perfect. They won't even be getting much rest tonight since they have to hang around just in case this is a 1-0 quick game. Hopefully UM can keep the bats hot.
Tournament exception... 10:59 local time is curfew. Here’s to finishing the game at 10:00!
Let’s go Gelo! Give us some good innings.
Would set up nice for Michigan if they don’t choke like they usually do.
Sure "choked" on Thursday when you declared the game over and Nwogu hit a walkoff 2-run double.
You know what you can go choke on.
cumong WD you're better than that don't engage
So, the baseball tournament is in Omaha through 2022?!?!?! 5 straight years of the tournament being in the least centrally located place it could possibly be.
Imagine if the tournament was at all central geographically and UM plays OSU tomorrow... I'd be there in a heartbeat.
How stupid.
Yeah, it's going to be in Nebraska or Minnesota every year for almost 10 years. It's ridiculous.
I understand this is a great college baseball venue, but they need to rotate it. One problem is that you can't put it in Indianapolis because of the Indy 500.
So...Toledo? Columbus? Fort Wayne?
Yeah, that's worked real well for NCAA hockey -- put post-season tournaments where no locals give a shit.
Delany has tried rotating the tournament -- Omaha hosted in 2014 and 2016. Huge crowds in 2014, decent crowds in 2016 despite NU going 0-2. 2015 was at Target Field and 2017 was in Bloomington. Attendance sucked.
Omaha has hosted the College World Series since 1950. Their fans show up, regardless of whether the Huskers are there.
No brainer to give Omaha a 5-year deal in 2018 through 2022. It's about selling tickets.
The baseball team should wear the skinny M hats instead of the block M ones. Looks much better with a skinny M imo.
I approve. But would Dave Brandon?
First test...
God damnit. Nelson with 2 potential fuck ups in a row. Tough but still.
3B man is fucking killing then in this inning
Phew good run Thomas
wasn't that good lol
The “running” was NOT good, but the “run” was fantastic!
Those pinstripes with the M are slick
Lol why didn’t the 1B runner advance in that?
Tough missed opportunity in that half inning. Didn't necessarily factor in but the called second strike on Bullock was brutal. Anyone else think the strike zone is smaller because the games are behind schedule tonight?
Wow, that second called strike was 6” off the plate.
The 0-2 to Palensky was as much over the plate as the one to Bullock was off it and got called a ball. Woof.
Baseball should be the first sport to automize officiating. This umpire is complete trash.
To be fair, until that last call he has had a very wide strike zone, consistently all game. He just fucked us hard on that one
Michigan is making 2-3 mistakes an inning and it’s cost 3 runs
Despite the 3 runs that was an outstanding outing by Angelo. The first 2 were on consecutive difficult but makeable plays, the last one was after the batter was struck out but the ump fucked him over.
well done Angelo. Grab the bats boys, this one is far from over.
He threw a great game outside of 6 crazy wild pitches
HERE WE GO!!
Omg you gotta go man.
Dude get your heads out of your fucking asses Michigan
JFC
Bases loaded.
Sacrifice tie run. Ten feet from grand slam.
They were lucky to leave the inning tied. That may have been the game.
With our pitching already stretched thin, this has GOTTA be a big inning.
Tie game! 3-3, runners on the corners with 1 out.
