Without some reliable change of speed it's going to be tough to . . .

. . . pitch in 'the league'. It will not take these hitters one or two times through the order to time her up. If the games I've seen thus far are any indication the umpiring philosophy is to favor the hitters making the changing speeds absolutely vital. ** Edited by MidloHokie at 6/14/2025, 12:50:51 PM

Offspeed pitching, 6 area zone pitching, and two to three change of speeds

Was Lemley calling her own pitches?**

Probably not with a sophomore catcher! I would say coach Johnson was!**
PokieHokie • 06/16/25 01:17 PM ET
Except she pitched 5 inning in her last outing and gave up 1

100% on that Hokiepro!**

Midlo will never give Emma credit for pitching well.
VTChip • 06/14/25 03:26 PM ET
Were her non-strikes subject to ump bias or was she just off-base[sic]?**
TomTurkey • 06/14/25 06:02 PM ET
Don't think that's true. I've often said 'she's a very good pitcher'.

Midlo 'Highlights' pitcher's shortcomings.........
Techdady • 06/14/25 05:10 PM ET
I wonder how much of it was the coaching staff's shortcomings as opposed
dallasvt • 06/14/25 05:26 PM ET
No need to wonder.......It's always both. **
Techdady • 06/14/25 05:40 PM ET
Well, we get some more data on that question based on . . .

Mazz already has a nasty change. Her issue is consistent command **
