I didn’t say they took OUR spot

But their rankings will get them a host slot especially their conference record IF they keep winning We have to win series at Cal PLUS min 2 games IMO…either 2 vs FSU or 1 vs FSu plus W in ACC quarterfinals What I meant is them winning vs UCLA likely gets them inside track to one host slot (plus helps committee geographically to be able to send a couple western teams to Oregon) which reduces any margin of error we have left (which is much less than it was before last Thursday) ** Edited by hokiepro at 4/20/2025, 10:50:14 PM

Oregon will jump us and be a host. There’s one more slot gone

Ah Mr. Positive! Well good news is we have more games to play.**
UTPr0sim • 04/21/25 11:17 AM ET
Yeah the positive is that we still control things and that others also lost

Softball America disagrees with you - their SOS is terrible

I think your point about Oregon's geographic location...
Old Line Hokie • 04/21/25 09:20 AM ET
I agree with your assessment of what we need to do to make it. And if UCLA
nkhooch • 04/21/25 02:46 AM ET
They will be above VT in RPI but their SOS will keep them from hosting
VTChip • 04/21/25 01:00 AM ET
Your trust of the committee is much greater than mine. :-)**
Atlee Hokie • 04/21/25 05:11 AM ET
Interesting Chip. The RPI already contains a strong SOS component as
nkhooch • 04/21/25 01:23 AM ET
History will say that the committee will consider SOS strongly
VTChip • 04/21/25 09:51 AM ET
Thanks.**

Ironically missed one of the greatest moments in Lane
hokiepro • 04/20/25 10:52 PM ET
You could be right. The RPI Live has them at 16 and us at 15. But, it's
nkhooch • 04/21/25 01:18 AM ET
It’s a shame. This is likely a top 5 team with Grein **
hokiepro • 04/21/25 08:32 AM ET
Since you know everything

I hope this isn't true. One player's attitude impacted the other 20+ . . .

Interesting. Didn't know about the Navy Seal program. And I do understand
nkhooch • 04/21/25 03:20 PM ET
Last year's overall team ERA was 2.99 this year 2.44 but a long way to go

Never heard of the 'one bad apple' saying?**
Techdady • 04/21/25 01:57 PM ET
Ok…so it’s still a shame we had her here and whatever the reason it didn’t
hokiepro • 04/21/25 09:50 AM ET
The bottom line with Grein, she just wanted to be the ace and not ace B.
PokieHokie • 04/21/25 11:58 AM ET
Great points. I agree. Grein wanted to be the ace. And that was part of
nkhooch • 04/21/25 03:54 PM ET
So true, many good pitchers have left our program to be the top dog!
PokieHokie • 04/22/25 03:54 PM ET
Never mentioned anyone by name as the 'element' but keep digging your hole.**
Techdady • 04/21/25 10:16 AM ET
So that element is or is not gone?
