She was trying to compliment her new program but

isn't mature enough to realize how the "compliment" threw her previous program under the bus. Just like she isn't mature enough to be a true team player by playing any position open to her. Few players are truly and exclusively known for the position they play like pitchers are - most are known by what they do with the bat in the lineup. The goal is to get your at-bats any way you can. For the great majority of players their performance when wearing the batting glove is more important than their performance with a fielding glove. Perfect example is Cori McMillan - played 3rd most of her career, comes to VT with Bre solid at 3rd so she takes right field in a totally team-supporting move so she can get her place in the line-up. Bre herself moving to center field when Jordan Lynch makes her mark to be in the starting lineup from fall ball is another totally team-supporting move. And she did that for her senior season! Would anybody doubt the maturity of Bre and Cori from the moment they walked onto the field at VT? How many players in MLB history were moved to 1st base to KEEP THEIR BAT IN THE LINE-UP? The designated hitter in baseball and designated player in softball were adopted to get another BAT INTO THE LINE-UP. Team players play anywhere to GET INTO THE LINE-UP!

Would love for these things to be communicated earlier in the year

My impression is that everyone tried very hard to make her successful
VTChip • 05/30/25 05:40 PM ET
Right, sometimes kids are just a bad fit. I hope things work for her . . .
MidloHokie • 05/30/25 06:05 PM ET
I'm the opposite. I hope she fails.
Atlee Hokie • 05/31/25 09:46 AM ET
Wow!
J2KHokie • 05/30/25 04:49 PM ET
Rough talk from the team's number 2 fan. But, so be it.

Hokie-2x • 05/30/25 02:21 PM ET
Sucking up! Are you suggesting CPD does NOT "check those boxes?"**
TomTurkey • 05/30/25 01:39 PM ET
Certainly breaks one of the cardinal rules I emphasized with my daughters
