Pitching is everything

Especially in the post season of course. It was funny … I wasn’t able to make our game yesterday so was watching the ACCN broadcast, and after NC State got off to a good start the announcers were going on and on and on about how NC State had come out with a renewed sense of purpose, their coach had challenged them or lit a fire or whatever, and they had made all these adjustments etc etc And look I’m not trying to be critical of the announcers here, that’s a tough job for sure and I imagine it’s hard to keep thinking of interesting things to say … but the whole time they’re heaping all this praise on NC State, I’m simply thinking that … No. This isn’t a case where NC State made all these successful adjustments. Rather, they are simply going against our #4 (ish) pitcher instead of our #1. And then boom Bree comes in (who I view as coach’s #2) and shuts them down for the rest of the game. Pitching is everything. Hopefully Mazz and Bree can keep it rolling and Layton and Fish continue to develop!

Well, the idea of a pitching 'staff' has, predictably, gone by the wayside.

I don’t think Carrico “came out of nowhere”

True. But these rankings aren't really worth much (I could sight . . .

she's from Appomattox. I'm sure the coaches had "eyes" on her**
Chesapeake_Hokie 03/22/26 11:24 AM ET
Yes, I'm well aware of where she went to HS. And, of course, the coaches .

Mazz and Bree are very good compliments to each other

I think you’re selling Layton very short. She’s had some ups and downs
hokiepro 03/22/26 10:12 AM ET
I've stated numerous times I think she's the third piece to the puzzle.**

Actually, that comment made me a little nervous...

It's called 'fastpitch' for a reason. I'm putting 75% of any NIL $$ . . .

I was pretty much thinking the same…**

They make stupid comments, like calling home plate a dish.**
