Well, I know enough to be dangerous

Pete intended to have Jayden Jones pinch hit for Lyla Blackwell but told the umpire "17 for 11" instead of "17 for 21." Jayden walked, which loaded the bases, but UVA then raised the issue of batting out of order which caused someone to be called out for batting out of order. Pete completely owned the mistake post-game. ** Edited by VTChip at 3/9/2025, 5:54:34 PM

Know what's weird? Yesterday our catcher, Zoe, hit two dingers.
laphroaig • 03/09/25 05:29 PM ET
Yes**
TomTurkey • 03/09/25 06:05 PM ET
Yes I'm wrong?**
laphroaig • 03/09/25 06:06 PM ET
No**
TomTurkey • 03/09/25 06:07 PM ET
No I'm wrong?**
laphroaig • 03/09/25 06:08 PM ET
No, not yes you're wrong. Yes you're correct.
TomTurkey • 03/09/25 06:10 PM ET
I'm looking up at you from the pit! :-)**
laphroaig • 03/09/25 08:30 PM ET
And it ain't a pretty sight!**

You wearing a kilt again?**

There's an image nobody needed. :-)**
laphroaig • 03/10/25 05:12 AM ET
For the record. Today is the catcher in Who’s on first. Hope that helps. **
GBOHokie • 03/09/25 07:20 PM ET
Remember the first time I saw that routine as a kid. Clever!**
laphroaig • 03/09/25 09:02 PM ET
Wasn't she pinch-hit for today with the bases loaded ? Analytics?????
MidloHokie • 03/09/25 05:40 PM ET
Must have missed it. Was hoping Rachel Castine's mom would start
laphroaig • 03/09/25 05:47 PM ET
Splains it. Thanks.**
MidloHokie • 03/09/25 05:45 PM ET
She was NOT pinch hit for today
VTChip • 03/09/25 05:44 PM ET
Thanks for that information. I wondered why Aldridge went in.
dallasvt • 03/09/25 06:05 PM ET
Chip: Do you have any direct insight about exactly what happened . .
MidloHokie • 03/09/25 05:48 PM ET
Well, I know enough to be dangerous ◄
VTChip • 03/09/25 05:54 PM ET
The batting out of order makes sense but why the long rule search?
TomTurkey • 03/09/25 06:03 PM ET
Well it doesn't happen very often...
VTChip • 03/09/25 06:11 PM ET
Tough error. It happens but may have changed the momentum. If that was . .
MidloHokie • 03/09/25 05:57 PM ET
Umps were probably looking for a way out of the mistake. Pete means to
laphroaig • 03/09/25 08:44 PM ET
Pinch runner enters the game but incorrect number given to umps I think.**
laphroaig • 03/09/25 05:52 PM ET
Really seems that the ump to whom Pete reported the # should have . .
MidloHokie • 03/09/25 08:55 PM ET
Looks like he didn't look. I'm still concerned about "before the first
laphroaig • 03/10/25 05:18 AM ET
Guess that's what brought out the rulebook. Been a while since I've had
laphroaig • 03/09/25 09:01 PM ET
As I stated neither staff impressed. 17 walks in three games? Not good.**
MidloHokie • 03/09/25 05:16 PM ET
Better umps have to be available to the ACC. Not good. **
laphroaig • 03/09/25 08:49 PM ET
HRs 4 and 4?**
TomTurkey • 03/09/25 04:51 PM ET
Wins: VT - 2, UVA - 1 (for some perspective)**
GCHokieof91 • 03/09/25 04:36 PM ET
Everybody knew that.
hokietony • 03/09/25 04:44 PM ET
My wife didn't. She does now...**
UTPr0sim • 03/09/25 05:10 PM ET
LOL. Good one!**
laphroaig • 03/09/25 05:20 PM ET
Doubtful that everybody knew........
2hhoop3 • 03/09/25 04:58 PM ET
But nothing wrong with repeating it (for many reasons).**
dallasvt • 03/09/25 04:57 PM ET
It's our way of making a face at the HOOS. Like "Yo mama!"
TomTurkey • 03/09/25 04:54 PM ET
Looking at those numbers we were fortunate to get 2 wins. And had

Our fielding was stellar. **

I wouldn't use dominant because it was anything but that ....
hokietony • 03/09/25 04:46 PM ET
Yeah, what they gave us in game 2 we gave back in game 3.**
nkhooch • 03/09/25 11:41 PM ET
Tech had 14 LOB. I think two were not attributed to a batter (the two left
