Super Regional open thread: Michigan-UCLA G1
First pitch for game one of the super regional will be roughly 9 pm eastern.
Michigan lineup is as follows: Nwogu DH, Franklin CF Brewer RF Kerr 1B Nelson 3B Bullock LF Blomgren SS Donovan C Thomas 2B. Kaufmann gets the start for the Wolverines.
The top-ranked Bruins are starting 2nd round pick Ryan Garcia. UCLA had 8 position players and 5 pitchers drafted in this week's MLB draft.
Game is on ESPN2.
Let’s go blue !
also glad to finally have the game on one the espns (not including espn3)
Good night of tv. Can flip to the nba finals between innings
holy shit... 13 drafted players on their squad vs... our 3?
Yeesh
5 for the good guys, but, yeah, not ideal
We're gonna steal their picnic baskets.
Well ..... UM better figure out this pitcher in a hurry.
We’re all behind our baseball team. Go get ‘em, Wolverines!
UCLA SS Ryan Kreidler was a 4th round pick of the Tigers for any Detroit sports fans on here.
UCLA pitching is a whole different animal.
And, they are missing their Friday starter, Zach Pettway.
Kaufmann has it working early again. Rockies got themselves a good one.
Not a fan of the sac bunt call there. Not executed well either.
You’re absolutely crazy... one of the best pitchers in the nation, and you get a guy into scoring position with 1 out... yes please. And guess what, if he executes that’s a run
Yeah, plus that was the #8 hitter at bat. Of course you bunt, if it works you're guaranteeing Nwogu bats with a runner in scoring position.
That would have been a run if the bunt was better . . .
SWEET!
BOOM!!! Nice rip....
Lulz right after the Bruin mascot got told to back the hell away
Bruin mascot or Wolverbear in disguise?
!!!! Go Blue !!!! 2 run single
WOOOOO!!!!!! Clutch at-bat by Franklin.
Let's go!!!! Franklin plates two with a two out single. 2-0 UM in the top of the 3rd.
Fairball Franklin!
Woo Fire Bakich!!!!!
Let’s gooooo!
HAIL YESSSSSSS!!!
Jesse Franklin 2-rbi single!!!
Now that's what the fuck I call a chain reaction.
Loving the pace of the game tonight. Whoever is in charge of running the commercial breaks tonight should do every Michigan football game this fall.
Jack Blomgren with a stellar stop and throw to rob UCLA of a single.
How great is it to hear the UM crowd be loud even on a defensive play?!
Trammell goes deep in the hole to snag a one hopper...AND GETS HIM AT FIRST!!!!!
hell of a play by blomgren in the hole there
I have a feeling Michigan is going go shock the world.
High Road Ty--I'm with you. This could be our year to get to Omaha.
Michigan crowd is rowdy.
Kauffmann MOWS THEM DOWN!!!
Another 1-2-3 inning!
Kaufmann has faced the minimum through three *wink wink* 4 Ks.
all of his stuff seems to be working, and looks like he's locating where he and the catcher want it. pretty fun to see.
#SpeedOnBase
nearly threw the first pickoff away. then he successfully threw it away on the second!
Perseverance!!!!
do people think those pitches inside to bullock were strikes? hard to tell with this angle. but k zone does look wide
They missed the glove badly but it was close... I like wide strike zones with our bullpen accuracy issues
Nice.
Kauffman has been successful so far because he’s keeping it down, great pitching.
UCLA is hit-less so far, but they are starting to see the ball and make contact.
We need some runs here.
Way to turn two!!
Should stand. But will it?
That review should have been decided in 15-25 seconds, not 3 minutes. It looked damn conclusive from the 3rd-base angle immediately.
That DP needs to stand
Taking too long
