On Thursday, a UVA usher told me she worked behind plate for FSU game &

Want calls, improve play behind the plate**
Seikoh_04 • 05/10/26 09:40 AM ET
The home plate ump is from Texas and apparently has been
RJHokie • 05/10/26 09:17 AM ET
Correct. What turned out to be the winning run was an unearned one.**
HokieHeartNSoul • 05/10/26 11:35 AM ET
She was consistent calling above belt high
hokiepro • 05/10/26 10:27 AM ET
Point stands, we had our chances. **
RJHokie • 05/10/26 10:38 AM ET
Our catcher position appears weak defensively. Just an opinion.**
Archdale • 05/10/26 03:21 PM ET
She definitely has her moments.
RJHokie • 05/10/26 03:29 PM ET
Can't WAIT until ABS is a normal thing in softball**
Hokie Koooster • 05/10/26 09:10 AM ET
Ditto**

Appreciate your passion for our University and devotion to our teams…
VT825 • 05/10/26 07:55 AM ET
I thought that we were in trouble with the ump when I noticed that her hair

I don't think favoring a coach based on gender of the ump and coach

Better Known Team Bias....FSU > VT.....Goes Their Way

Don’t kick FGs all night
MrFantastic! • 05/10/26 10:47 AM ET
This^^^ this is the issue
hokiepro • 05/10/26 10:25 AM ET
Well…
hokiepro • 05/10/26 08:39 AM ET
Yeah that one clearly needs to be taken back**
Vippie1 • 05/10/26 08:19 AM ET
This Rhetoric is Exhausting
ForgeHokie • 05/10/26 07:02 AM ET
Agree. Personally I think its hard enough to call balls and strikes. Yet
GBOHokie • 05/10/26 12:23 PM ET
You forgot why we really lost- very few hits - our pitching
sacramento hokie • 05/10/26 08:55 AM ET
I see an ongoing issue of too many batters taking early called strikes...
KiloZulu • 05/10/26 12:55 PM ET
The earlier criticism was swinging too early in the count. 🙄🤔😳**
TomTurkey • 05/10/26 01:18 PM ET
Lol. Yep. Swinging too early! Taking early strikes! Allowing too many
King of Hokies • 05/10/26 05:25 PM ET
If the pitch is in the zone, a swing versus a called strike is obvious.**
KiloZulu • 05/10/26 02:26 PM ET
Some posters would disagree, especially on weak pop-ups or grounders**
TomTurkey • 05/10/26 05:11 PM ET
I’m not sure they were the better team. We had one more hit
hokiepro • 05/10/26 07:27 AM ET
There may be some element of truth to what you say. Guess what
VTCALS72 • 05/10/26 05:17 AM ET
Let it go brother. **
HokiesACC2004 • 05/10/26 04:54 AM ET
This kind of commentary gets so old. Did you watch the entire game
nkhooch • 05/10/26 04:15 AM ET
Yep watched it all the way in person
hokiepro • 05/10/26 07:21 AM ET
Sorry, but I do not believe you watched the entire game, and evaluated ALL
nkhooch • 05/10/26 12:36 PM ET
Well I didn’t leave the seats from inning 1-7; watched it all live &
hokiepro • 05/10/26 01:09 PM ET
I didn’t say you didn’t watch the game. I said I do not believe you looked
nkhooch • 05/10/26 02:03 PM ET
Umm when the count isn’t 3-1 and the ball is outside and low
hokiepro • 05/10/26 12:39 PM ET
Ummm and game over? We win?**
nkhooch • 05/10/26 12:56 PM ET
Sadly, it looks like you and I went to the wrong school. It’s hard to win
nkhooch • 05/10/26 12:21 PM ET
I agree the ump was inconsistent and I let it be known from my seat in
Hokie_Forester • 05/10/26 08:31 AM ET
I’m good with this discussion! Passion of our loyal fan is awesome **

Gaby & Annika had good ABs…they were forced to protect w/ 2 strikes
