. . . negative". The season is nearly 1/3 complete and Emma has pitched 1.1 innings. That's factual. No knock on her, just a circumstance of the roster. It's the number of pitchers on the rosters that is the topic of this thread. I understand there are some here that are only VT softball fans. That's not me. I'm into the game and have been for 3+ decades. I'm a Hokie but have relationships and allegiances in the game that extend far beyond VT. If anything other than 'atta girl' posts are not welcome here then it's going to be different than any other sport-specific board on Techsideline and, frankly, not very interesting.

With WNBA, most of the increase in viewership is due to Clark.**
