Sadly, it may come down to money

NiJaree Canady gets the headlines for her NIL deal in excess of $1 million but it seems that there are a number of transfer pitchers that landed six figure deals during the last portal period. I'm just not sure how competitive we are in that world.

I was kind of surprised they didn't go for a big transfer pitcher. Maybe

Your mind is not simple. Pitching will tell the tale. Will it be . . .

So when Coach Mata pitches does he slow the speed down any or pitch his

If Mazzarone only allowed 2 hits, all those other hits and walks by batters

Lemley was a true freshman when she was ACC freshman pitcher of the year!
PokieHokie • 01/25/26 01:25 PM ET
So, not to purely question anything
VAHokie89 • 01/26/26 08:03 PM ET
Coach Mata gave up at least four runs - 3 by HRs**
VTChip • 01/24/26 04:10 PM ET
Nice!!!**
VAHokie89 • 01/24/26 04:13 PM ET
I'm concerned pitching will be our Achilles heel.**
Atlee Hokie • 01/24/26 12:33 PM ET
Is that just based on the reports or have you seen the team this year?**
UTPr0sim • 01/24/26 04:23 PM ET
Just from what I've read. I don't live close to B'burg.**
Atlee Hokie • 01/24/26 04:41 PM ET
I understand. You never know about young pitchers, but ours will be good.**
UTPr0sim • 01/24/26 04:54 PM ET
Nice summary. Thank you.**
