I'm looking at this on the iPad app and it is impressively arranged as block M. Not so much on desktop, but great effort!

Thanks, I tried.... will try again. Good to know it worked on the ipad. I viewed it from my labtop and not so much so went back to the original. Will work on it later for the desktop.

Driesenga and Blanco warming up in the bullpen, Betsa with the infielders.
February 13th, 2016 at 12:04 PM ^
I heard Florida has been practicing leaning over the plate all winter.
February 13th, 2016 at 12:07 PM ^
Disgusts me. That should be called an automatic out.
February 13th, 2016 at 12:16 PM ^
That's part of the game. Baseball and softball players crowds the plate to restrict the strike zone. Only way to get them to back out is to give them a step back pitch. Nice and high but doesn't hit em.

But isn't that the point of crowding the plate in softball? The batters want to get hit by the pitch so they can take first base. They even step in and lean into the ball to get themselves hit.
February 13th, 2016 at 2:49 PM ^
The rule is if part of your body is over the plate and gets hit it's a strike. Umps should be calling that.
February 13th, 2016 at 2:57 PM ^
The college game of softball is really hurt by the way the rule is and how it is enforced,
A ball that is only partially over the plate is a strike. Thus, the batter should be required to be at least a ball's width away from the plate.
Any part of the batter's body that is within a ball's width of the plate, and the batter gets hit (regardless where), and that batter should be called out.
That would cut back on a lot of that shit.

nowhere near enough seats to accommodate this turnout! Hopefully there are more available at 4:30, but we're sitting in the outfield for now.
February 13th, 2016 at 12:11 PM ^
Standing over the M dugout, too much orange but still an incredible showing for M.
February 13th, 2016 at 12:12 PM ^
Similar to the Citrus Bowl.
February 13th, 2016 at 12:09 PM ^
Go Blue
February 13th, 2016 at 12:11 PM ^
in the circle. Sara as DH.
February 13th, 2016 at 12:16 PM ^
They just changed it. No DP now.
February 13th, 2016 at 12:13 PM ^
Will this be on TV?
February 13th, 2016 at 12:14 PM ^

I did a little more research on Florida. It looks like we will be facing their freshman in Barnhill in her debut. She was the #1 pitcher out of high school last year and is supposed to be very good. This is the 3rd year in a row Florida unveils their star freshman recruit versus Michigan. Gourley, Ocasio, Barnhill
February 13th, 2016 at 12:29 PM ^
Down in order top of the 1st, 3 pop outs.. Michigan's first scoreless inning of the season.
February 13th, 2016 at 12:32 PM ^
their first batter gets HBP
February 13th, 2016 at 12:32 PM ^
Florida - Hbp and then a hit. Michigan facing 2 on trouble early.

Florida - another hit to score 1...still 2 on. No outs.

What a surprise. A hbp. Fuck off, florida.
February 13th, 2016 at 12:36 PM ^
Pop up to pitcher....dropped. Bases loaded...nobody out. Not good.

That error was huge. Everything breaking Florida early.
February 13th, 2016 at 12:40 PM ^
was that pop up high enough for a Infield Fly? Did Coach Hutch argue the call?
February 13th, 2016 at 12:41 PM ^
there were no force outs
February 13th, 2016 at 12:56 PM ^
I just heard the announcers talking about the Infield Fly. So runners were on 2nd and 3rd?
February 13th, 2016 at 12:59 PM ^
That was after. I think the next AB, could have been two.
February 13th, 2016 at 1:13 PM ^
first fly runners were on 2nd and 3rd because of the wild throw to home by lawrence.. they later did get an infield fly for the first out I think
February 13th, 2016 at 12:37 PM ^
Yup cause Florida crowds the plate. Can't believe they still allow that after the college World Series

The batter's box dimensions need a slight modification paired with strict enforcement by the ump, behind the plate.
February 13th, 2016 at 12:40 PM ^
After first pitch strike....4 straight balls to walk in run. 2-0 FL with bases loaded. Need to limit damage here!!!!

Fuck the SEC, let's Go Blue!
February 13th, 2016 at 12:44 PM ^
Well that error just killed them. Ground out should have ended inning....instead 3-0. Now inning over. Bats need to chip away!!!! Go Blue!!!

Yes, we need this....
February 13th, 2016 at 12:44 PM ^
we will score runs, so no problem.
February 13th, 2016 at 12:53 PM ^
As the saying goes: "It's the little things that count".
February 13th, 2016 at 12:57 PM ^
a Coach nuts is the "Struck out looking". Grrrrr!
February 13th, 2016 at 1:02 PM ^
made a few good plays that inning, including a base hit. Faith fully restored.
February 13th, 2016 at 1:05 PM ^
We keep grounding out to ss.
February 13th, 2016 at 1:08 PM ^
Another wasted inning.
February 13th, 2016 at 1:11 PM ^
base hits for FL. Sara Driesenga is warming up.
February 13th, 2016 at 1:12 PM ^
Frustrating - mistakes giving away runs, and the offense still stagnant. There's a lot of game left, but we need to raise our level of play pretty soon here if we're to avoid a disappointment.
February 13th, 2016 at 1:15 PM ^
ground balls to Romero, both end in force outs. 2 down, 1 to go.
February 13th, 2016 at 1:17 PM ^
doing a fairly good job. Fair and Balanced. The Color Person is better than average.
