Look more closely at Villanova (3rd inning), UVA. Not about HRs

It does not have to be about HRs. It can be her singles and doubles. Look at the 3rd inning vs. Villanova Against Villanova, McMillan HRed in the 3rd innning after after Martin struck out swinging and Rohs popped up. We lost by 1 run. Lymch was 2-for-3. Scored 2 runs Against UVA, McMillan was 1 for 5. In the 4th inning, she singled with 2-out after Blackwell struck out swinging and Rohs struck out. VT was up 2-1 at the time. Against Pitt, she was 1-for-5 with that one hit being a HR as the first batter in the inning. So assuming she does not get any hits if someone is on base in front of her in the ABs (one was a fielder's choice with Rohs on), then fine. Against Pitt, in the 3rd inning, she flied out to make the 3rd out. Martin and Rohs did not get on base. While I won't count this, I would bet she gets pitched to differently if people are on base. Against FSU, she was 4-for-4... Lynch was 0-fer. The other 4 hits came from people down in the lineup.. So likely if performances repeat.

So has anyone tried to just walked her every time?**
UTPr0sim 05/05/25 04:55 PM ET
This is a great reason she’s batting lead off instead of the 3/4 hole…..
HokiefromBedford 05/05/25 05:11 PM ET
Yeah, but leading of limits her RBI opportunities**
VAHokie89 05/05/25 06:23 PM ET
She has had a great season.......

If you don't have other players with good OBPs, continuing to lead Cori

I coined it to be "if it ain't broke, don't break it!"**

Odds are we win a couple of more games with a hitter like Lynch
VAHokie89 05/06/25 12:30 AM ET
I agree I would have hit her 3rd. I am going to look at losses
nkhooch 05/06/25 01:42 AM ET
Note Lynch got on base 64 times as of now. 17 doubles

VAHokie89 05/06/25 08:16 AM ET
29 of her RBI are her hitting herself in / She only has 30 other RBI

I just looked at our losses below. And I only see the potential upside of
nkhooch 05/06/25 01:46 AM ET
nvm
VAHokie89 05/06/25 08:15 AM ET
It does not even have to be a HR. I see Villanova, UVA and maybe a Pitt
VAHokie89 05/06/25 08:01 AM ET
Looking at anything besides HRs opens a large
nkhooch 05/06/25 10:50 PM ET
Of course, but those were two situations that also illustrate the problem
VAHokie89 05/06/25 11:54 PM ET
VT’s record is 27-7 with her as the leadoff batter. **
RJHokie 05/05/25 06:42 PM ET
12-3 before. I post it below: 19 RBIs in 35 games that are not
VAHokie89 05/05/25 06:58 PM ET
Cori didn’t start as the leadoff batter until game #16 this season
RJHokie 05/05/25 06:28 PM ET
I did not realize it was that far back. Interesting.**
nkhooch 05/06/25 12:45 AM ET
Thanks to both you.....

In 35 games since becoming leadoff, 19 RBIs that are not herself

Even if you are off by one or two items they are definitely still quite
RJHokie 05/05/25 07:01 PM ET
Most teams will pitch to her at least once. Don’t believe she’s been
RJHokie 05/05/25 05:04 PM ET
Agreed. Though Peck has not been "dangerous" recently**
VAHokie89 05/05/25 07:11 PM ET
Right, until Sunday, Peck has had a weak (for her) ACC season.**
nkhooch 05/06/25 01:43 AM ET
Against a top 5 team too!**
