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.
Basically three hard hit balls all night, two of them outs. Argh.
Yep, damn fine outing
Really needed that DP that went off Kaufmann's glove.
Need a strikeout or we are going to blow another 3 run lead in the ninth.
Will Bakich ever be proactive changing pitchers?
Worst take ever.
I posted that gif last game and it worked out so...
In that case, well done!
If at first you don't succeed, try, try, one more time.
That's a huge out.
One more out cmon!!
Great slider to get the pop out there.
Dude just asked if 3rd base runner should've tagged and faked going....what?! That was such a shallow fly ball, in what world would someone mess around there?!
Back in 2007, first game of the Super Regional at Oregon State, Zach Putnam had a no-hitter Into the 9th. We lost 1-0. Got blown out the next night.
Didnt it finish as a no hitter with a loss?
Only hit of the game for OSU was a 2 out single that knocked in the winning run.
Seriously...what freaking lucky dribblers to keep them alive. After such stellar pitching.
Wow, that's a big outside corner.
What a shame.
A "long single" is not going to win UCLA the game...moronic. now he's bitching about the strike call/ump.
Don't know or care who he is, he sucked.
Everything was UCLA this and UCLA that.
Fuck him and the horse he rode in on!
Hr was bitching about it when they gave it to UCLA pitchers in the 3rd or 4th too though. My take was the ump gave both sides that pitch all night so he should shut up.
Wow wide strike
Oh man, deep outfield...game over if not
If you play normal depth in the outfield that was the game.
BOOM!!!
Another awesome win for Bakich and the Michigan men! Goodnight concern trolls - happy weekend Michigan fans!
Wow... too fucking deep to catch that. OMFG
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
GET ME A BEER!!!!!
There it is - no dong punch tonight!!! But DAMN it was close!!!
Fuck yes
Take that, you lousy pro-UCLA announcers!
Wow. Closed it out, hell yeah.
Nerve-racking but we’ll take it. GO BLUE!
Wow Crisswell nice pitch!
The ump had been calling that outside pitch a strike all day. He didn't have a choice but to swing.
That ump was rough....but pretty much consistently rough.
Criswell took his food.
Awwwyeah!
Hellz yeah!!
One down, one to go! Go Blue!
Holy fuck, we survived.
With apologies to Mel Allen...
HOW 'BOUT THAT!?
I may have had a heart attack and died. Holy hell!!
Phew! Way to go!
fuck yeah!
Hell yeah, props to Bakich for riding his horse as long as he could.
Great win for Kauffmann and the bullpen guy!
That was no bullpen guy, that was a starter who is a first/second round pick next year
Are these announcers pissing anyone else?
Everything they are saying is anti whatever Michigan was doing.
Even in the loss they Laud UCLA more than Michigan.
Fuck them
