On that last out at the plate …

It looked like Coach started waving her as soon as the throw into 3rd started coming in high and off target (behind the runner). Defense had to make a perfect play to get the out … and they did. Tip your cap. For what it’s worth it looked like our runner slid in under the tag. Oh well.

Do we keep a stats on players thrown out at the plate?
TheAmishHokie • 03/08/26 12:21 PM ET
Aggressiveness also earns runs that wouldn't have scored otherwise. So

Hokiedanville • 03/08/26 03:19 PM ET
Back in the day coaches were too conservative and played losing strategies
King of Hokies • 03/08/26 04:19 PM ET
Just make a statement! Don't your Panties in a bunch.
Hokiedanville • 03/08/26 04:44 PM ET
So you don’t want people to disagree with your posts?**
Jackie VT • 03/08/26 04:47 PM ET
I didn't say i disagreed! Just saying is thinking of coaches have changed!
Hokiedanville • 03/08/26 08:32 PM ET
You seemed to take offense at someone disagreeing with you…..
Jackie VT • 03/08/26 08:40 PM ET
what do you never see - someone *****ing about a player being sent from 3rd
VermontHokie • 03/08/26 02:59 PM ET
Good post. I thought of your last point earlier today. If other teams know
WestEndHokie39 • 03/08/26 08:37 PM ET
Exactly. Confirmation bias is one of the worst kinds of stupid. **
King of Hokies • 03/08/26 04:20 PM ET
Except for your kind of stupid**
Italian Stallion • 03/09/26 04:48 PM ET
I can't understand why we didn't bunt more vs Charlotte. I mean, we lost,
King of Hokies • 03/09/26 05:04 PM ET
I have found only 5 times we have been thrown out

I was sitting behind the plate and had a good view of the play
VTChip • 03/08/26 02:47 PM ET
Thanks for bringing an objective analysis.**
WestEndHokie39 • 03/08/26 02:09 PM ET
Who's coaching 3B?**

Lewis, I believe**
Italian Stallion • 03/08/26 12:46 PM ET
Cutoff player had the ball as runner was rounding third, should have been
Italian Stallion • 03/08/26 12:26 PM ET
The coaches are aggressive with sending runners. Always have been.
RVAHokie05 • 03/08/26 12:25 PM ET
Well there is aggressive base running and then there is also a dumb call
Italian Stallion • 03/08/26 12:28 PM ET
Are you still around to tell us how we should also be bunting more? **
King of Hokies • 03/08/26 04:22 PM ET
When the situation calls for it, yes.**
Italian Stallion • 03/08/26 07:40 PM ET
I'll take the HRs and the other extra base hits. Lots more runs that way.
King of Hokies • 03/08/26 07:49 PM ET
You can call it dumb, but you’re not getting paid north of 300k to coach
RVAHokie05 • 03/08/26 12:44 PM ET
He's an old man with an old strategy. (Or should I say multiple old

I did not see this particular play, but getting runners thrown out by
SHPHOKIE • 03/08/26 12:51 PM ET
Nobody got thrown out by large margins. I love how you started your advice,
King of Hokies • 03/09/26 06:42 PM ET
This was not by a large margin. It was very close
VTChip • 03/08/26 02:48 PM ET
LOL, Very tired argument**
Italian Stallion • 03/08/26 12:47 PM ET
So is the whining about runners getting thrown out at home 🤷‍♂️ **
RVAHokie05 • 03/08/26 12:52 PM ET
Actually, it is a legitimate concern when it continues to happen. **
SHPHOKIE • 03/08/26 01:09 PM ET
Do you consider.......
2hhoop3 • 03/09/26 05:14 PM ET
No it's not. It's part of the game. Stranding runners at 3rd is for

I assume you are young and have not been around the game very
Blueboy • 03/09/26 07:52 PM ET
Lol. I assume you're old and have been around a game that has long passed
King of Hokies • 03/09/26 08:16 PM ET
Looks like your dumb ass comments never end. You can have
Blueboy • 03/09/26 08:24 PM ET
If that is your strategy why have coaches on the bases? When someone hits
SHPHOKIE • 03/09/26 06:10 PM ET
Nice strawman. Be aggressive. **
King of Hokies • 03/09/26 06:34 PM ET
If you know the reason they sent them and even if they sent them.
WestEndHokie39 • 03/08/26 02:05 PM ET
Pointing out an error in judgement from our coach is not whining**
Italian Stallion • 03/08/26 01:04 PM ET
Another example of trying to stifle
LTHokie • 03/08/26 12:59 PM ET
Disagreement isn’t an attempt to stifle. **
Jackie VT • 03/08/26 04:51 PM ET
IS is always *****ing about the same thing over and over.
WestEndHokie39 • 03/08/26 01:56 PM ET
Sharing my POV on a tired talking point isn’t an attempt to stifle.
RVAHokie05 • 03/08/26 01:11 PM ET
Happens most every time on this board. I guess the coaches never make a
Italian Stallion • 03/08/26 01:02 PM ET
I will always defer to the coaches who are with the players every day.
WestEndHokie39 • 03/08/26 02:01 PM ET
I'll just put you in the camp of the "coaches can do no wrong".**
Italian Stallion • 03/08/26 07:43 PM ET
The throw could be offline, over the catcher’s head, dropped
