This MSU radio call is bad.. You can hear the disrespekt in their voice. The color commentator went off on a rant about "one of the things that bothered him about this Michigan team". How they were disrespectful for starting to run off on a pitch in the black that ended up being a ball. And to not get him started about other things about this team. State was just as bad at that last night and the BTN guys called them out for it. Sparty gonna sparty.

My son caught a foul ball off of the Michigan side dugout. They said that they will give you a prize if you caught a foul ball. So my boy and I went to see what the prize was to see if it was worth it. They demanded the ball because the spartans use them for batting practice. They gave him a spartan small toy basketball. My son is crushed cuz its a souvenir to him. Do they do the same thing in Ann Arbor?

It's baseball, shit happens. 

 

The team is on an undeniabe upward trajectory over the past few seasons and all of this pessimism is a bit ridiculous. I get that losing sucks, but complaining about being 29-11 like the sky is falling is dumb when we're just a few years removed from 3 straight losing seasons, including a 17-37 effort.

Not going to take the next step and become a relevant sport on campus by blowing leads in important games.

sitting behind their keyboards accusing the Michigan Baseball Team of "choking".

How many of you have played baseball?

Go choke on your Gerber applesauce.

Ive seen in M athletics in long time..Control and dominate the game then blow it totally in the 8th give up 6 runs and the bullpen was a disaster. If thats not a choke job I dont know what is

of "choke" and WD's "not ready for the big stage" crap for your pro teams. They're paid the big $$$ to perform so it comes with the territory.

But these are student-athletes you guys are insulting and it's a bad look to act like entitled crybabies. Pretty pitiful, IMO, for Michigan 'fans' to act like that.

Are you serious? Really?



So we're all just supposed to act like we did not just blow a 5-0 lead in a pivotal game? After blowing a 3-2 lead last night.



I'm not insulting the team by saying they're not ready yet. It's just there. It takes time to build up a culture of consistent winning.



Everyone is guilty of expecting too much too early. Only year 4.

Last year was a wonderful surprise. The downside was it being a little too early and shooting up everyone's expectations.

Tomorrow is the biggest game since the championship game last year.

a step back and realize MSU is a pretty good team too with a starting pitcher who pitched a really good game after the 1st.  Michigan's bullpen faltered a bit but State hit the ball HARD in the 8th.

 

Relax man its baseball, stuff happens.  In the Big Ten the most important thing is making the tournament and doing well there.

just couldn't throw strikes.  MSU got good balls to hit on good pitch counts and drilled them in the 8th.

 

The two miscues on fielding by the pitchers were costly, twice the UM catcher couldn't keep a poor pitch in the dirt in front of him that took them out of potential double plays.  Caused a lot of stress on relievers that weren't throwing strikes.

 

Those are two good baseball teams.
