Michigan vs. Maryland baseball thread
Michigan is playing Maryland today on BTN. I'm not sure why Michigan didn't play a doubleheader on friday given the conditions. Michigan is 7-0 and in first place in the big ten.
No they're not. It's still in a weather delay and I don't see that ending any time soon. Likely gonna be cancelled.
Was supposed to start again at 4 but now waiting for the temps to rise.
Sooooo, they’ll resume play around the 5th of May, then?
Game is on!
According to twitter
0-0 after one, Mich had bases loaded with 1 out and did not score.

Michigan just left them loaded in the bottom of the 1st.. no score going to the 2nd inning.
We just had bases loaded with one out & failed to score. :(
During the delay, BTN showed top 10 weather games in B1G history! Michigan was in 7 of the 10 games!
I attended two. The first game of the Hoke era vs WMU where the game was stopped and never restarted. And my first visit to East Lansing my sophomore year in 1973. We beat them 31-0 in a monsoon! I was 18, which was the drinking age then. Needless to say, we stayed the whole game & felt no pain!
Remember, koklaw?
1) your username---is it in honor of 10-year MLB player/former Detroit Tiger Harry Chiti, the first (and apparently only) major leaguer traded for himself?

2) Did you formerly post on the WorldCrossing Detroit Tigers forum? I was a very active poster there myself until WorldCrossing (WX) shut down their free forums as they had become obsolete and constantly crashed.
Anyway, a custom on that forum community was established when Harry Chiti passed away in 2002, as few had ever heard of him---his career ended in the early 60s and he had only been a Detroit Tiger for barely over a year late in his career. From that point on, any time there was a death of a former Tigers player, no matter how unknown, it was noted that "(name of deceased) joins Harry Chiti".
Eventually, a single long-running permanent thread was created as the website's obituary page, where it grew to also include other MLB players, other athletes, and even celebrities from other walks of life.

(OOPS, double post. I guess that's 4 questions, not 2)
And I believe I answered you on my football thread where I was unjustly severely downvoted by insecure posters.
NBD. Can never chat enough about Harry Chiti!
in that thread, as I last checked in there several hours ago.
Yeah, that was a tough crowd in your thread last night. As foul as the weather.
Bases-loaded walk, now 1-1.
I can't believe they're playing this game now.....Mich up 2-1 with men on 2nd and 3rd and 1 out in the B2
2-1 after an RBI groundout, score that a 4-3 play with an RBI.
Also the Pacers drubbed the Cavs 98-80 in Cleveland, I love it!
4-1 Michigan lead
Twi-run double to the opposite field, now runner on 2nd with still just one down.
... BAD baserunning followed by a foul pop for the 3rd out ends our rally with a THUD.
how many innings make it official?
and they said Maryland has to leave AA by 7:45 for flight....
Well, should be enough time for about 7 innings.
Still surprised they didn't play two on Friday.
4-1. Great sac bunt! Lost art.
Second and third. One out
knew that lost art: for his MLB career, Harry was successful 18 times in 20 sacrifice bunt opportunities.
And I thought he was just a good handler of pitchers!
5-2 Michigan. Top 6. Two outs.
So you do know of Harry!
after 5 bone-chilling innings.
Despite it being announcd around 2:45 today that it would be free admission for today's game, it looks like the crowd there might number under 100 fans.
Brrrrrr...
fuck you and your Terp excitement on their HR
I thought the announcers were kind of pro-turtle but I thought it was just me.
Second bone head base running play of the game. Looking like the Tigers.
my man, the fervor in his voice was annoying
after 5 1/2. Maryland scored one in the 6th on a solo HR. Michigan now up in the 6th.
at baserunning.
For the 2nd time today, a Michigan baserunner overslid the bag after a stolen base. Both times the end result was being tagged out.
in to pitch as we begin the 7th.
BABY!!!
IT'S GREAT TO BE A MICHIGAN WOLVERINE!!
1-2-3 inning for Kauffmann.
5-2 us, bottom of 7th.
Just call me Emily Littell
I forgot it's 9 innings .Showing my age!
you'd be 85 year old.

62. That's old enough! Class of 1976.
Best time ever to attend Michigan. Drinking age was 18 & $5 fine for pot during my whole 4 years! Tuition was $330 a semester my freshman year. Football & hoops were incredible! 38-0-2 in regular season against all teams except OSU . 0-3-1 vs Buckeyes. Hoops in national championship game my senior year. Many great concerts in AA for peanuts .Saw Allman Bros give 3 hours plus concert at Crisler for $4!!
excitement from the PxP guy!
Solo shot Michigan!!!
GOES YARD!!!
Now 6-2 us!
Maryland has to book. No inning can start after 7:45. Only 19 minutes to go!
Why is that the rule?
Maryland needs to leave for the airport. The visitors have to declare a "no inning starts" time before the game.
(after 7 innings), 6-2 MEEECHIGAN.
Will they reschedule the third game of this series?
as there was nothing on MGoBlue.com when I looked earlier.
In the meantime, suddenly we're in trouble here, as Maryland has loaded the bases with one out.
The Big Ten rule is that any game they can't get in during the three days scheduled for the series is not allowed to be made up.
Thanks. I didn't know that was the rule. But makes sense knowing how short the B1G season is.
Back in the 1970s, teams could make up games if they and their opponents could agree on a makeup date. It led to several shenanigans with teams scheduling and then cancelling makeup games depending on whether the games would potentially help them or hurt them in the standings. So to put a stop to that, the conference just made that standard rule.
