MICHIGAN SOFTBALL: REGIONAL CHAMPS
The game is at 1pm on ESPN2.
This year has been really exciting for the underdogs. There have been many seeded teams that have lost games.
#1 Cali lost to Arkansas. They play for the Regional Championship today.
#5 Florida lost to South Florida, in the final game. Florida dismissed their 3 top players for a racial incident against a black teammate. I applaud Coach Walton for doing the right thing here. He knew his team would be weaker. He could has kept this all quiet until the tournament was over but he didnt. Too bad marky mark didnt do the same thing with Chris L. Rucker. marky mark was in the hunt for a B1G Title and possible NC. marky mark is a loser.
#7 Tennessee lost to Virginia Tech. They play for the Regional Championship today.
#6 Texas lost to Northwestern. They play for the Regional Championship today.
#8 Texas A&M lost to LSU. They play for the Regional Championship today.
And the most shocking is #12 UCLA is OUT. They lost to my sleeper pick Hofstra and SD State. UCLA was playing at home too. Yikes. Hofstra and SDSU play for the Championship.
My other sleeper pick; La-Layafette is 2-0 and should win their Regional today.
BTW: #11 Oregon won their Regional last night. Wonder why they played early? They had BYU in their Regional and BYU does not play on Sundays.
Get hot at the right time and BUCKLE UP.
This team looks like it does not want to be done with the season yet
Chiddy puts one more on the board 4-0 now good guys.
with Louisville batting in the bottom of the 4th. Haylie is pitching great and the bats are banging.
are you a future recruit?
Great Defense
How often does a team get three dp's in a softball game?
NEVER. Im going to have to read the box score just to actually believe it. Way to go defense.
board. We dont have very many softball "regulars". As you can imagine, this board is heavily slanted to the men's sports. However, we have held our own here and put a stake in the ground. We dont get heckled too much anymore.
So your daughter is a freshman on LAX team #2?
that hurts like a son-za-biatch. Many pitcher wear braces now-a-days.
This occurs when pitchers try too hard and play outside of their ability.
This girl is in real pain. Ass hole coach should have pulled her when she tweaked it a few pitches ago. What the hell. Did the coach think it was going to get better over time without rest? Some coaches are just plain dumb.
Wait the starting pitcher is back in the game? Softball is weird.
may re-enter the game once, in the same batting order. A starter and her sub cannot be in the line up at the same time. If a starter gets pulled twice, she is done. If a starter re-enters, the sub is done.
Its complicated i know.
Scorekeeper will have to answer than one. I think the rules prohibit win and a save for the same person.
can't get the win and save.
ouch. I feel for the Louisville pitcher. Thats what happens when you try to tough it out past your breaking point. yeah, I agree with mgosoftball. That louisville coach is a complete a hole.
"Sweep the leg, Johnny..." and Johnny's all like "But, I'll be disqualified." and he's all like "No Mercy." Except in this case, it's no mercy for his own player. Where's Miyagi when you need him?!
is a re-entry rule. This is a perfect example. Did the coach expect the girl to pull herself in the Regional Finals? WTF?? Fire that coach.
welcome to the Michigan Family.
that you have to have a bit of money to feed that big of a belly. Nom, Nom, Nom.
double beef/bean buritto and cant walk up the stairs. The ADA covers him.
That burrito might have been his mid-lunch snack. His calves have double-chins.
Good Lord. Someone should tell him that gravy and ranch dressing are NOT 2 of the 4 major food groups.
chiddy anything closr to hit Smart pitching, with first base open.
Oh, wow. That was one hell of a snag.
what a stab by kirkpatrick and quick to her feet to get the out. nice
WOW!
This is the Michigan team that we all know and love. We could beat anyone today.
Someone needs to proof-read those motivational banners.
That's okay. On ESPN today the banner said that Texas would be eliminated with a lose. *shakes head*
what did it say?
Something about a team not about being better than on another, but making one another better. Someone took a sharpie and put the appropriate "e" in there.
bunt. They really look good today. Solid fundamentals. Love the Marigold too!
