So Let's Compare the "Consistent Success"

Kenny Gajewski is in year 8 at Oklahoma State and has done a great job. His teams are 6 for 6 in qualifying for the NCAAs but they didn't host their first regional until his 4th year (excluding the Covid year) and didn't host a Super Regional until his 5th year. Pete D'Amour is in year 5 at Virginia Tech and is 3 for 3 in qualifying for the NCAAs and his team hosted a Super Regional in his 3rd year (excluding Covid year) I would say at this point, the two teams have similar trajectories. Certainly VT needs to keep it going, but Coach D'Amour has done an excellent job in a short amount of time. . ** Edited by VTChip at 1/19/2023, 4:01:58 PM

Bre Peck is ranked as the #12 Third Baseman
VTChip • 01/18/23 08:37 PM ET
They could move Bennett to 3B and use Thunk at SS
Hockeydad • 01/24/23 06:24 PM ET
Cameron ***an ranked as the #5 Second Baseman**
VTChip • 01/19/23 03:18 PM ET
Our pitching depth should be much better this season.**
RJHokie • 01/19/23 09:33 AM ET
Good news. Let's go Hokies !!!**
william floyd • 01/18/23 09:22 PM ET
High probability Emma is higher up that pitcher list by the end of the year
Hokie Proud • 01/18/23 12:33 PM ET
Yes if she progresses and gets better, absolutely higher by end of year
VTsportscaster • 01/18/23 06:53 PM ET
I’ve never understood the love for Kelly Maxwell for OK St
VTsportscaster • 01/17/23 09:56 PM ET
She was basically THE reason they won the B12
hokiepro • 01/19/23 10:40 AM ET
It takes more than a pitcher. Angela Tincher could not win a World Series.**
HokieJack • 01/17/23 10:01 PM ET
Yes it takes a team, but…
VTsportscaster • 01/17/23 10:23 PM ET
Does ANYONE beat OU? Well…she did**
hokiepro • 01/19/23 10:41 AM ET
Actually Maxwell only went 3 IP, Morgan Day got the W vs OU**
VTsportscaster • 01/19/23 08:35 PM ET
And Keely had multiple chances to take her team to the WS and did not. **
VT4Natty • 01/18/23 01:30 AM ET
Why the shot at Keely?
VTChip • 01/18/23 09:09 AM ET
Why the shot at Maxwell? Just stating facts on WCWS success vs failure**

I think most...

Good point. I actually got a text from a parent today
VTChip • 01/19/23 12:58 PM ET
This is an independent site so people can be open with their comments ....
nkhooch • 01/20/23 06:56 PM ET
I totally agree people should think before they post.

Would just like to add here that the team that Coach D'Amour inherited
HokieAllMyLife • 01/23/23 01:03 PM ET
I love it when you talk facts.**

2hhoop3 • 01/19/23 05:25 PM ET
Fair comparison except for ability to make it the WCWS
VT4Natty • 01/19/23 04:35 PM ET
Sad postt, Chip. Sorry to hear that.🤢😢**
saret • 01/19/23 01:09 PM ET
As I mentioned above, I coached my answer to more of a shot at Ok St
VTsportscaster • 01/18/23 06:49 PM ET
Who’s #1??**
hokiepro • 01/19/23 10:42 AM ET
Well if the comparison is to OU then everyone falls short.
VT4Natty • 01/18/23 07:00 PM ET
I think it is about how 1 pitcher can't carry a national champ
UpperQuad • 01/18/23 09:14 AM ET
Yes, why? **
william floyd • 01/18/23 09:12 AM ET
AT is as close.......
2hhoop3 • 01/17/23 10:17 PM ET
And she beat the "professional" Olympic team 1-0.
Atlee Hokie • 01/19/23 09:38 PM ET
I've posted before but it's worth a repost
VTChip • 01/17/23 11:02 PM ET
AT was in a class by herself at her time in the game. Still underestimated **
VT4Natty • 01/18/23 01:31 AM ET

2hhoop3 • 01/17/23 11:24 PM ET
True. That is where I would sit, and the movement on the ball was amazing.**
