Great win for Michigan. It's nice to see that they aren't taking any risks with pitching anyone but the 3 regular starters.

Florida State is next....

Another sport the SEC is figuring out how to dominate. Rooting for the Wolverines in this match Vs FSU.

edit: Fantastic pitching outing by Tommy Henry. 9 inning shutout.

This is surreal. Michigan's pitcher just dominated tonight, and was about twice as efficient as Florida State's starter who had over 100 pitches in less than 5 innings, which was roughly Michigan's total for the game.... They'll face Texas Tech or Florida State again on Friday to potentially clinch a trip to the championship series (they'd play again Saturday if they lose).

Very cool, Go Blue!

It's always so much nicer to play from the winner's bracket.

Step 1:  have short winters so you host all early season games
Step 2:  flood the postseason with like 10 teams

I guess that puts Michigan in the "Final Four." It's nice to get the extra rest. Only needing one out of two games to reach the Final is pretty nice too.

Which remaining teams (in the other half of the CWS) are making the most noise or are the best remaining? Vanderbilt and MSSt?

So a Texas Tech - Michigan rematch in Bracket1 tomorrow night, should be fun.

The luxury of hanging out in the winner's bracket should have kept Michigan's arms fresh, while Tech has been burning arms to get through the loser's bracket.  This is always the peril of losing early-- or at all.  But teams have won it all out of the loser's bracket, it's certainly not impossible.

Michigan has a great (and fresh!) pitching staff, with three high level starters. But big bats are coming in the form of TT and, hopefully, Vandy/MSSt. 

Thinking about Michigan's fresh pitchers and the final: whereas taking one from TT is essential, winning on Friday would be a massive advantage, as two of the top three pitchers would have 7+ days of rest before their game v. the winner of the other bracket-half.

Things I never thought would be an issue: whether UMs CWS would interfere with my sister and her fellow UM alum fiance's wedding plans this weekend.

Ha!

July is really the only month that is safe from college sports.  My anniversary?  July 14th.  

(Yes CD, that is also Bastille Day.  How do you think I remember it so well??? ;) )

Wow, Michigan is now laying the wood to Texas Tech.  Congrats to the Wolverines, I have no problem at all watching you pasty-white yankees kick arse at our "southern" sport.  Well played. ;)

GO BLUE!

This is unreal. When's the last time such a low/un-ranked/seeded team made it to the Championship series??

Michigan underachieved somewhat in the regular season as I understand it, but the only great win they had in the whole regular season was the regular season game against UCLA, and they had a couple losses to bad teams, too, not to mention Texas Tech dominated them in 3 games.

We'll see what happens next week....

I know a guy who was up there at the CWS earlier this week.  He reported that Michigan had the most tanned players of any team.
