Michigan baseball : Big Ten Tourny 5/26/23

[biggunsbob]

Lost again 9-5 in Columbus fall to 13-10 in conference and 26-25 overall.

 

[biggunsbob]

Only top 8 make the big ten tournament. Osu could sweep us tomorrow and still not make the btt. Osu has won 8 in a row but they are 8-15 in the big ten. Looks like Michigan is locked into the 5th, 6th or 7th slot of the btt depending in the games coming up.

Big ten tournament
Michigan vs Iowa

Btn broadcast and umpire crew is so anti- Michigan it?s not funny?Michigan should be leading but Umpire said batter leaned into the hbp. Such horseshit he was turning away. Then he K?, and then the next batter k?s both with bases loaded. Holy shit is umpire is terrible. Frustratingly Michigan leaves the bases loaded with no outs. All three batters K after umpire misses hbp??I could care less that they reviewed it. It changes the whole game he was twisting out of the way. Then umpire starts calling balls off the plate strikes so our batters have to swing at anything close on 3 and 2 counts.
Still

Michigan trails now 3-1 as pitcher gives up a (1-2 count) single with two outs and two on. Freaking terrible pitch .Can?t throw it right down the middle on that count.. sadly pitcher is falling apart now. That?s that?s. He falls apart and gives up a grand slam. Game over 7-1. Btw also on a 1-2 count.Just another awful pitch. Just a another terrible pitch. Michigan isn?t coming back the way our bats have gone the last few weeks..Both hits were in 1-2 counts. Terrible pitching from our best guy? Heading to losers bracket unless a huge comeback happens .
Trail 7-2 heading to middle of the sixth. Solo homer. Middle 7th. Michigan has 10 lob?s
Michigan heading to the losers bracket at 26-27 and in a 5 game losing streak. Trail 11-2 late on game one.

Michigan verses Illinois elimination game

Michigan was up 1-0 .then 4-0 on a three run Homer. Then they got a triple with one out?.The next batter had a 1-2 count and the Michigan coach had the batter squeeze. On a freaking 1-2 count. Well guess what he fouled it off for a out. Luckily the next two batters walked and singled to bail the stupid play out. 5-0 still batting.

 

[biggunsbob]

Again Michigan coach has batter bunt with a 1-2 count with 2:runners on and zero outs. He fouls out again.. how stupid is that ? Michigan fails to score any runs. This could cost Michigan because Illinois is rallying its 5-2 mow with runners one. We have a really dumb team. Last hit was a 0-2 pitch right down the middle runniers on the corner now pitching change. Just a dumb pitch.5-3 with runners in 1st and 2nd one out. Michigan can?t get anyone out. Now 2 outs.
Michigan leads 5-3 heading to bottom of the 6th

 

[biggunsbob]

Michigan needs some insurance runs. I just don?t understand what the batter is looking for on a 3-2 count .
Poured a fast ball right down the middle with a duck on third. He never swings. And next batter fails to .(he try?s to bunt too with 1 strike lol)
Um wastes a freaking lead off double. A real poor hitting team with runners on base.

None of the bunts were close to being hits.

 

[biggunsbob]

Michigan 8th still 5-3

1 out homer gives Michigan the 6-3 lead.
Heading to the 9th. Lots of rain in the area . Comes and goes.

 

[tinselwolverine]

Solo homer and Michigan up 6-3 now.

 

[biggunsbob]

Michigan stays alive in btt and wins 6-3 improving record to 27-27.
They get a day off and play the loser of the winners bracket game.

Solo homer and Michigan up 6-3 now.

Yup
See my post right above yours Lol !

I guess the winners bracket game hasn?t happened yet, right?

Do we know when that next Michigan game will be?

 

[tinselwolverine]

Looks like Friday, 2 pm Eastern, vs the winner of Iowa and Indiana, who play tomorrow.

My bad, I guess they play the loser of that game.

 

[Michchamp]

so the new coach is no Erik Bakich, sounds like.

 

[biggunsbob]

Michigan makes 3rd straight big ten tournament semifinals pounding 18 hits and crushing the #2 seed Indiana 13-6. Michigan now needs to beat Iowa twice on Saturday just to make the big ten title game I think. Michigan stays alive and improves to 28-27.

Mitch Voit I think he is the Michigan closer. They asked him to start and he went 5.2 and 5k 1bb performance and he went 4 for 5 at
The plate as they stay alive.

Michigan kept getting out a pretty big leads, then Indiana kept chipping away at those leads, and this went on, and on all game until Michigan pretty much blew it wide open, and I think the eighth inning.

Play Iowa tomorrow, game time not yet posted on the athletic department board.

 

[biggunsbob]

Holy cow it was Voit?s first start on the mound today ! Well done young man !
