That's a very non-specific comment. Many runs, phenomenal , high IQ

You are comparing her to having no SS at all. But, that's not the question is it? So, the issue is how many more runs, how much higher an IQ, how much more phenomenal than the player she would be competing with? Vs. the offensive production of the person she is competing with. Of course she is a great SS. Do you know how good Mizelle is at short? Then how can you say I am way off base? That was my caveat. "If Mizelle is a good SS". Rohs had 119 chances at SS. That's a little over 2 per game. Vs 4 ABs per game. And it's not just batting average. It's Xbhs, run production and potentially speed. And before you say that SS is the most important position, note that 2nd and 3rd base got an equal number of chances. Who is our best left fielder? I would say Blackwell is. Why did she get replaced? She was hitting .270. So, earlier in the year would it have been "Way off base" to suggest Martin would replace her? I hope AR improves her hitting. I know she will work hard at it. ** Edited by nkhooch at 5/20/2025, 5:14:36 AM

If you lose someone, it only really hurts if the player isn't replaceable
VAHokie89 05/19/25 10:46 PM ET
That is true.**
nkhooch 05/20/25 02:50 PM ET
Agree.
RJHokie 05/19/25 04:57 PM ET
How can she not be in the lineup?**
Hokie PE 05/19/25 04:58 PM ET
If there are others who can have the same or better impact
VAHokie89 05/19/25 10:48 PM ET
She definitely should be.
RJHokie 05/19/25 05:02 PM ET
Should be able to work out 3 & 4-player platoons
schubee 05/19/25 05:57 PM ET
Platoon
Hokies4life75 05/19/25 06:12 PM ET
And platooning or rotating DP stunk a couple of years ago**
VAHokie89 05/19/25 10:49 PM ET
Wouldn't be a huge reduction, but I'll admit that CPD hasn't been one

MrFantastic! 05/19/25 03:28 PM ET
I think Pete needs to stick with her early season to get her OBP up
hokiepro 05/19/25 04:44 PM ET
She is a possible starter, no guarantee though.**
hokietony 05/19/25 03:09 PM ET
Nothings guaranteed, but started at least half of the games in LF this year
