Michigan vs Ohio State: B1G Baseball Tournament Elimination Game [POSTPONED]
Game postponed after only 1.5 innings of play due to rain.
Michigan down 2-5 when (if) it resumes.
If either of these teams reaches the championship game, they'd have to win 3 games in 24 hours just to get to the championship.
I seriously question if this thing will cancelled.
Go blue !
Typical B1G Tournament neutral site crowd.
Game isn't starting just yet. Lights on the scoreboard are out.
Jake Bivens and Ako Thomas BOTH get hit by the pitch and are on with none out to start the game.
Is there a reason why these games start so late?
We should've played at 8:30 but the Quarterfinal games were postponed due to rain. Those were supposed to be played last night, instead they were played this morning.
Bruder is on with a single and Michigan loads the bases in the top of the 1st inning with none out.
Bases loaded, no outs for the Wolverines
Michigan goes up 1-0 on a sac fly from Lugbauer.
OSU totally screwed that one up. Easy run! 2-0

Great play there to manufacture another run.
With two outs, Ako Thomas scores on a delayed steal by Bruder who is tagged out after the run scores to give Michigan a 2-0 lead after the T1.
gets us another run, but at the cost of the 3rd out. This time, a trade-off I'll gladly take!
2-0 lead gone in less than half an inning. Shocking.
The offense starts to score runs early and of course the bad pitching returns. Opposite of yesterday's game.
Our pitching has absolutely sucked since that MSU blown game.
This is such a frustrating team to watch.

We've already lost 4 games to this mediocre Ohio State team.
You forgot those lovely mid week showings against CMU and Oakland recently.
I don't know who's to blame for this. I don't understand how every pitcher of ours has seemingly forgot what they're doing.
This pitcher. Wow.
Baby steps, let's get an out

6 hits in the first inning. Enough.
I just don't get the kind of voodoo complex Ohio State has where we can never beat them in anything. We couldn't stop them in Yost and we lost to their worst ever Matta led team handily.
This meme is dumb.
We did the same thing to PSU this year. We did this to OSU in 2011-12. Bad years happen.
We have beaten them in things. They may not be football or basketball, but we still beat them in hockey. We didn't win the series in hockey for the first time in 15 years. Who cares? We'll kill them for the next 15 years like we did last time we lost the series.
Softball swept them.
Wrestling beat them a year removed from their national title.
M & W Swim crushed them.
W Gym, W Soccer, Field Hockey etc.
Plus, I'll take our MBB season over theirs with their NIT and 4 of 5 freshmen leaving.
Well we haven't had one of those years where we beat them in all the sports since the 90s and we've beaten them once in basketball/football down there since 2002.
What are you talking about?
Again, we beat them in hockey this year. Yeah, the big 3 sports had a bad year against them. Suck it up, deal with it and move on.
Football and Hockey both had really good seasons.
Thad is mostly correct. That 2014 win is our only one in Columbus in either sport since '03.

45 minute 1st inning. Ugh.
The problem is these white pants are way too tight.
They need a Swoosh.
Baseball won 3 straight B1G Championships from 2006-2008. 2008 was the final year with Nike.
0 with Adidas including two nightmare seasons in the early 2010s that got Rich Maloney fired.
Fare thee well.
As always.
Blame it on apparel.
As you would say, "Get over it!"
I'd heard the assistant to the traveling secretary made the switch from polyester to cotton pants, in hopes that the lighter more breathable fabric would keep them cooler and therefore playing better...But with all this rain in Omaha...
GEORGE: I can't believe you're not playing in cotton.
TARTABULL: Well, this is what they give us.
GEORGE: You know they used to make leisure suits out of this fabric?
TARTABULL: You really think cotton's better?
GEORGE: Of course! Alright, maybe I'll say something to Buck.
Weather delay at fucking 11pm.
How are they gonna make this game up? What a disaster this has been the last 24 hours.
That's baseball, though (and softball). Diamond sports are the only ones that are dictated by Mother Nature.
Except for the WMU and Utah (horrible time) games in the Big House.
I think the worst came after that Western game. I've never been caught in a worse downpour.
Not true re: diamond sports being the only ones.

What is the score?

Getting housed 2 out of the last 3 nights is not building positive vibes going forward. Let's hope for a change of chance

No it's not but there's a lot of game left to be played.
Who the hell knows? There's a chance this tournament may not even finish.
Last year, they said if the championship game got rained out, the highest seed would receive the automatic bid.
What happens if the whole thing is rained out? It's supposed to rain in Omaha all weekend and the tournaments have to be finished up on Sunday because the selection show is Sunday night.
Selection show is Monday at Noon on ESPNU. But championship would still need to be finished by Sunday night.

Top 3 seeds are out w OSU highest seed left. Ought to be interesting. Of course, teams in winners bracket are lower.
Game has been postponed. Will resume tomorrow at 2pm.
I have no idea how they're going to get this tournament concluded. Weather doesn't look good for the rest of the weekend in Omaha.

So I don't understand you're anger. Do you want the tourney played in a dome? Do you control the weather gods in Toledo (your site of choice)?
The B1G footprint is in the Midwest. The last week of May is stormy here. What's your damage?
Your anger.
I don't understand you're need to run around to everything I post and whine about it.
