Rally Cap Thread!
Can’t hurt to try something to spark the boys for the last 6 outs. Down 3... LETS DO THIS!!!
And for good luck.... FIRE BAKICH!
I feel a big rally in the bottom of the 9th. Go Blue!!!
In other news that seems positive.....
Update on Franz Wagner
I’m told Michigan’s admissions office received Wagner’s academic paperwork today. This DOES NOT mean he is officially committing/enrolling. However, if he wants to ultimately choose U-M, both sides need to be sure he’s academically qualified and eligible.

Would say that this at least makes it look like he is still undecided and not committed to staying in Germany... that’s a good sign as any
weird feel from this game today. Could have been a lot different with clean catching and fielding, but also feel like they resigned to the fact they would score like two runs max. Oh well. LET’S RALLY
I swear this university can’t ever win the big one. I’m going to die with all these heartbreaking losses in my memory.
There's another game to play and their ace is done. I think optimism is called for here.
Eh, anyone who has been a Michigan fan for more than a few years knew they weren't going to win tonight. These tourney runs in different sports are always fun, but they all end the same way. Better build up that callous around your heart a little more before football season starts.
I feel bad for people who weren't alive in 89 and 97.
Baseball is not football. There's no negative history here so don't let your bias take over.
Don't sweat it. We were a pretty big underdog yesterday with Paige going against Rocker. He is about as good as there is right now in college baseball. We are set up very well with our pitching today and our hitters will get some much better looks today as well.
That guy is going to be scary good if he develops a change up in addition to his other stuff.
It’s setting up for a walk off Home Run by Brewer or Kerr!
Here we go!
Lets do this in the bottom of the 9th. What a way that would be to win it all...
Well, we played not to lose. Looked a little tight out there. Tomorrow will tell whether it was the right strategy.
IDK. We were up against arguably the best pitcher in college baseball. I think Bakich pretty much knew we weren't going to score much. That combined with putting out a pitching by committee lineup, almost guaranteed a loss. Bakich is a strategist and he figured against that team, our best shot would be game 3. Tough call on his part, but he knows much better than we. Also, I think the team knew we weren't putting one of our best pitchers out there today and maybe that had some effect on them. Either way, I like our chances tonight. Go Blue!
Tomorrow will be better. Tonight we faced the best pitcher in college, booted the ball around, but kept it close. Kauffmann is better than what Vanderbilt has to throw at us, and we won’t play as bad in the field. Do it for the eight letters on your chests.
I wore a rally cap for the first time in my life today. It did not work. Fuck rally caps.
