Fair criticism….sometimes hitters will hit anybody it doesn’t matter who ….

See Tennessee pitcher Pickens with her 7 loses. I thought UVA had a chance against her, as her and Canady can lose concentration and get ‘lazy’ in the circle just like everyone else. On any given day………..

Coach Pete has to take a really hard look at VT
BAMAHOKIE • 05/18/26 08:36 AM ET
LSU had a great gameplan and executed. VT never countered. **

Come on Brother....that's a bit Over the Top

Some fans are just intoxicated with success
Techdady • 05/18/26 11:00 AM ET
This team was picked 4th in the ACC & had no all ACC players
VTChip • 05/18/26 10:24 AM ET
Couldn't agree more. This team over-achieved, and for that I am

This was supposed to be a “rebuilding” year. Bree and Avery came out of

Foster and Mizelle were solid outfielders.**
TomTurkey • 05/18/26 10:42 AM ET
Both playing out of position I assume and playing well**
Techdady • 05/18/26 10:56 AM ET
G2 (Mizelle) will move to 2nd if I read the early tea leaves correctly.
TomTurkey • 05/18/26 11:47 AM ET
Love Rachel…a great Hokie. Mizelle though could raise our defensive ceiling
hokiepro • 05/18/26 12:02 PM ET
As a former RF, I disagree dependent on fly location and RF position. 😬
TomTurkey • 05/18/26 12:39 PM ET
Straight in? Yes, I’m talking about ball pretty much right over 1B head
hokiepro • 05/18/26 01:16 PM ET
Point being, someone calls the other 2 off. And they scat.
TomTurkey • 05/18/26 03:28 PM ET
Perfectly stated...another success story from this fan's viewpoint. **

Collapse is a wee dramatic **
Hokie98 • 05/18/26 09:33 AM ET
The "wee" dramatic is more like "pee" dramatic.**
laphroaig • 05/18/26 10:46 AM ET
Well can you argue VT didn’t play their best ball at Regional
BAMAHOKIE • 05/18/26 10:24 AM ET
Last sentence actually states the fact.
TomTurkey • 05/18/26 10:45 AM ET
Did the team 'collapse' in Baton Rouge? I'm not sure. Remember . . .
MidloHokie • 05/18/26 09:04 AM ET
I’d also say venue was a huge help to LSU. Not just the crowd
hokiepro • 05/18/26 11:52 AM ET
Thank You..You know the game..

Being such a follower of Hokies sports your comment that our coaches should
Techdady • 05/18/26 12:05 PM ET
Definitely a pattern here ...
hokietony • 05/18/26 09:35 AM ET
The ‘better SOS’ is a riddle
Techdady • 05/18/26 10:51 AM ET
Excellent analysis. I do question the price tag on the flight west.

I’m guessing 75k to play at Clearwater since it was

MidloHokie • 05/18/26 03:57 PM ET
I agree you really can't solve it without playing in Clearwater.**
hokietony • 05/18/26 12:08 PM ET
You nailed it...**
JoseyWales • 05/18/26 09:30 AM ET
You bring up a good point about the “short game”.
GCHokieof91 • 05/18/26 09:15 AM ET
Mike Candrea would agree :)**
MidloHokie • 05/18/26 09:19 AM ET
Way I saw it was…younger team (VT) relative to NCAA experience
hokiepro • 05/18/26 08:46 AM ET
I think its a combination of things. Facing tougher opponents, better
HokieAvalanche • 05/18/26 09:23 AM ET
That batting slump was not 'oddly timed'. It was related to facing . . .
MidloHokie • 05/18/26 11:12 AM ET
Lynch was WAY off. Nora too

What "resources" are missing for the program to step up its analytics game?
VTHokie2000 • 05/18/26 12:59 PM ET
Softball is very heavy on analytics. That's not the problem. So what

Actually, my question was not asking for that at all because I would
VTHokie2000 • 05/18/26 02:25 PM ET
What does that even mean? Lynch & Abromavage are So. Mizzelle a Fr. Carrico
King of Hokies • 05/18/26 04:47 PM ET
I never said or assumed it would be easy. Also, I never said they were
