How do you put USC ahead of VT? All their games have been at home and we're
the only ranked team they've played.

EVERY school has fans that say βwe choked again, like alwaysβ. And we have
ours. At least when our fans choose to take that path, they can make it rhyme.

While weβre at it donβt forget the 3-0 ball 4 that blue called a strike.
Assuming things transpired the same at the next bat, it would have been a game tying 3 run bomb and still no outs.
Couldnβt catch a break this weekend but we also could have played cleaner. Could be the SEC bias putting a thumb on the scale or just the way the ball bounces but sucks for this team either way. Good bunch and fun to watch.

She knew the situation and she knew she had a chance to back pick.
Only suprise to me is that the Stanford player on 2nd didn't wait halfway to see that ball get through b4 she took off.

I find this post to be short sighted at best
and ignorant at worst. I expect the coach lies awake at night thinking about lineup options and trade offs between fielding ability and hitting ability. Bre is probably more comforable at 3rd but she's in the best spot coach can find to keep her stick in the lineup. By you saying coach made a bone headed decision you have clearly taken your "questioning" post and made it a "negative"post. Please do us a favor and try to grasp that like most of us, you don't know $hit from shinola, and try to keep your posts positive. Errors happen, howling wind can make a fly ball near impossible to catch. If Emma walks the bases loaded in the last inning of the college world series we should be there to support her, not *****ing that coach should have know better than to run her out there for one more inning.

My son played D3 Baseball and 95% of their games were streamed. Unless
the home team was in East Jesus with a field next to a cow pasture you could catch a live stream. Top tier travel tournaments are streamed. Heck, low level travel tournaments are streamed. High School games are streamed. Pee wee games are streamed. There is no excuse for not streaming all these games.
...I feel better now that I've gotten that off my chest.

Point being 3-1 is not a TAKE count. Maybe he he got fooled on the pitch
or just missed it and got the result we saw but he should not have been taking. This game isn't going our way at the moment, but I gauran-fing-T you that the last kid on the bench has more baseball knowledge than most of us fans will ever dream of getting. Hitting is a tricky biscuit.

They were beating wooden spoons to make noise. No respect for the game
...and apparently no rules to mitigate that crap.

It quite litterally was not an error and catch tags are a crap shoot.
If you are going to be so opinionated... Please try to know the game. The pitcher committed the sin of walking that batter.

Especially against the 8 hole hitter. Didn't come close to throwing a
strike the entier at bat. That's whistling past the graveyard right there.

8,9,1 up we walked the first batter.She stole 2nd & went to 3rd on a WP
That catch tag wan't an error it was just a 50/50 play that we didn't make. After the runner was on third they rolled the lineup and were off and running. This was a meltdown on the mound that the D wasn't able to stop. SS should have conceeded the run and gotten the out but hell, you gotta go for the glory, right?

Emma's gotta be better than that. She didn't throw a strike in the first AB
and then everything has rolled downhill from there. Hopefully she can grow from this and will be mentally stronger in games/years to come but this team neads a bellcow and Emma isn't that just yet. Hoping the bats will come alive in the bottom but can't help but feel like this ship has sailed.

95 - I feel like it's ~1990 all over again and we get to see how far we
can get this time. The team is 1990ish but the VT brand is much better than back then so the hill might not be as steep. But if it is, I'm fine with that too. Let's just get back to the blue collar physical team that none of the blue bloods want any part of. We do that, and I'm a happy fan.

My dad got his graduate degree of divinity from Vanderbilt. Vandy cares way
more about actual Christianity than Liberty... So there's that.

Notre Dame has just done all the little things wrong tonight. Hope they
can get their heads out of their rump and get us at least one win.2 on and no outs two innings in a row and they can't even advance a runner to third. Two-out walks that lead to Miami runs... Miami wasn't impressive but ND just rolled over tonight. That said... I do hate the all green uniforms.
