CWS Game 1 Thread
Great start! Super important to draw first blood - 2-0 Blue!
We went all Rambo on that ass!
Great start.
Go Blue.
Even though he was safe, it was an awful decision to have Jordan heading to third at all there. This is such a big moment that additional run could be huge. Hoping not
I know it didn't work, but IMO Michigan has to push things on the base paths.
Speed and aggressive base-running are our strengths. College kids make fielding/throwing mistakes, especially under pressure.
I really like Bakich's philosophy of applying pressure.
One pitch, one down for Vandy. Score it 5-3
Nice start boys.
GoBlue!
Had to turn the AC on from all this Michigan heat being thrown!
Tommy Henry is getting way ahead of each batter.
Tommy Henry, the pitcher so nice, they gave him to first names.
Gets the Vandy side in order, we go to the second, 2-0 Blue.
Who was he given to? Never heard of em
he also has two first names
Dammit (good catch.)
Nothing but strikes by Tommy---on an 0-2 pitch, ground out unassisted to Kerr at first, then a 3-pitch K to end the inning!!!
7 pitches, 7 strikes, no problem!
Wow, fast inning.
8 more please!!!!
MANY MORE 7 pitch innings please
ICE in his fucking VEINS!!!!
If the next 17 innings go as well as this first it’s gonna be a fun couple days
I’ll feel good with a touchdown lead. I mean, it’s Vandy. Though they usually have a good kicker.
Score moar!
Damn, Tommy.
7 pitches. 7 strikes.
You can say that again.
7 pitches. 7 strikes.
You can say that again.
EDIT: Dammit! The dreaded mobile double.
Seriously, no pun intended.
Vandy not used to playing in the cold north that's it!
Just the start we needed, score and then a quick bottom half. Keep the pressure on them, men!
No offense, budlinks, but--it's Omaha! How many members of the Coast Guard are in attendance!
Vanderbilt FuN fAcTs:
The Commodores mascot is the nickname of their benefactor, Cornelius Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt picked up that nickname, not from any military service, but because he had the biggest yacht on the Hudson. He was also a notoriously crude asshole.
This Vandy pitcher is going to have 100 pitches by the 3rd. If he makes it that far.
Jack Blomgren works him for a lead-off walk on a full count, then moved to 2nd on a passed ball!
There's that PRESSURE!
Already 29 pitches for the Vandy starter
crank the kenny
Someone who knows NCAA Baseball better than I do, a query:
Was it a coin flip for home/away? Was it that Vandy is the better seed and will be home in Games 1 and 3?
We’ve been on the road so much the last month or so the team told them they weren’t interested in anything related to being the home team
The second one. Better seed is home games 1 & 3.

I like this
God, this team is so fucking locked in. Third base coach just bare hand snags a hard foul ball.
Full count on Donavon....and another walk.
Go Blue!!
Man. The bats are goin tonight!
High-Five girl, yes indeed.
Yassssss!!!!!
AKO!!!
DOUBLE SCORES ANOTHER RUN, 3-0 MEEEEECHIGAN
Bunt..? For what?!!! LOL
Glad he didn't get the bunt down. I hate giving a pitcher an out when he is struggling, regardless of the outcome.
Well, this is an enjoyable beginning to this. Hearing "The Victors" in Omaha sure is nice. 3-0 Wolverines.
LFG 3-0!!!!!
Nwogu grounds out 5-3, runners stay put on 2nd and third. One down
Warde brought Juwan, KBA, and Hutch. That's good on-camera presence right there (even if only Juwan got a graphic.)
ESPN streaming is screwed up saying the game will star around 8PM. (http://123tvnow.com/watch/espn/)
