Don't apply it to Softball, WBB, MBB. Baseball, women's soccer, etc

I understand what it means to football. It does not even need to be mentioned on a softball board when Pete D'Amour has 2 total losses to Pitt in Pitt in the last 7 years. TWO. The last loss to Pitt before these games was 2021. WBB has beaten Pitt a lot, including in Pitt... WBB then goes against whatever perceived norm there is. Mens' Ball is hit or miss with Pitt; recently, Pitt has simply been better/ranked so VT men SHOULD lose. But VT won in Pittsburgh in the 2020-21 season...actually won back-to-back home and away games Women's soccer beat Pitt in Pittsburgh in 2021 and at home in 2020, but lost in Blacksburg in 2022 and at Pitt in 2023... Baseball went 2-1 against Pitt last year, 1-2 at Pitt in 2023, 2-1 against Pitt in 2022, and a 3-game winning sweep against Pitt at Pitt in 2021... So basketball is 8-4 against Pitt in the last 3 years. They play later this year. I understand the point but why mention it here at all. It isn't a thing at all when it comes to Softball or several other sports. It is just something to say.

We were averaging 3 walks per game prior to Pittsburgh
VTChip • 04/21/25 02:45 PM ET
The other issue were a number of wild pitches/passed balls
VAHokie89 • 04/22/25 04:46 PM ET
And it was not because of the ump

It was not just trouble with the strike zone. Many of Kleiman's pitches1

There's no "mound" in softball. It's a flat circle but something could

Yep. Walk rate tripled in Pittsburgh for some reason **

Most puzzling was Mazz having a comfortable lead and still not being able
nkhooch • 04/21/25 06:00 PM ET
Every pitcher but Grizzard had issues with control
hokiepro • 04/21/25 07:25 PM ET
Right, Cassie did what they told her. Throw strikes. And they couldn't
nkhooch • 04/21/25 09:18 PM ET
It would be interesting to know what pitches were called vs. thrown
VAHokie89 • 04/22/25 04:45 PM ET
It's funny you said that, I was thinking the whole time that their was
PokieHokie • 04/22/25 04:25 PM ET
Lemley has had zero issues throwing strikes this year. I'm telling you its

It is not the Pittsburgh curse. Those 2 losses were the FIRST losses to Pit
VAHokie89 • 04/21/25 01:46 PM ET
This isn't just a softball thing. VT Sports across the board have struggled

She was way off Thursday and Friday with her command, no doubt
hokiepro • 04/21/25 01:19 PM ET
Walks were a bit of an issue but they became way worse this week
hokiepro • 04/21/25 12:09 PM ET
GIANT pitch clock right behind batters**
HokieAllMyLife • 04/21/25 12:16 PM ET
That clock is big enough to be seen from Morgantown WV.**
laphroaig • 04/21/25 01:25 PM ET
Yes, 'twas.**

I was telling my son yesterday that it must be a VT thing. Baseball is
