I know this is whiny but I just wish VT would win a game that way just ONCE

VT literally never wins on a close call or by fluke. They only lose. And, all those freaking ugly bloopers and Baltimore chops that UCLA got for hits/runs. The bounces off the wall for UCLA or lucky catches by their fielders. Jeez man. How many lucky bounces can you get in one night? Don’t get me started again on the play at the plate. ***an was out of the base path (which doesn’t exist between 3rd and home) BECAUSE the catcher was blocking the plate without the ball. It’s not difficult. But our friends at the Pittsburgh replay center had different ideas. Sorry for the whine. Onward and upward. Let’s go surprise everyone later tonight and tomorrow. Always proud of these ladies. ** Edited by HolidayInnHokie at 5/18/2024, 8:25:38 PM

Who's 1st baseman dropped a routine throw against us this year?**
VTBAMA • 05/18/24 08:59 PM ET
Duke?**

Mea culpa. I certainly forgot that one. About as fluky as you can get.
HolidayInnHokie • 05/18/24 09:25 PM ET
It's because fans tend to remember painful losses more than fortunate wins.

Darius Maddox. Only one I can think of **
hokiepro • 05/18/24 08:35 PM ET
C'mon. There have been winning field goals, walk-off hits, overtime wins.**

In postseason??**
hokiepro • 05/18/24 10:14 PM ET
There's always a convenient justification.

99% of my angst goes to crucial Ls late in regular season that affect
hokiepro • 05/19/24 11:19 AM ET
One correction. There is a base path between 3rd and home.
TomTurkey • 05/18/24 08:29 PM ET
But do you think the 3B to home base path is always enforced?
HolidayInnHokie • 05/18/24 08:41 PM ET
She was tagged out; the call that was overruled was interference
hokiepro • 05/18/24 10:16 PM ET
Then the rule is idiotic. We are rewarding poor throws to the plate.
HolidayInnHokie • 05/18/24 10:37 PM ET
"Running out of the base path is called when avoiding a tag by the fielder.
TomTurkey • 05/18/24 09:13 PM ET
Agreed as you round third you will always end up fairly wide of baseline
HwoodHokie • 05/18/24 08:53 PM ET
VT has won plenty of fluke games in all sports**
Brewing_Hokie • 05/18/24 08:29 PM ET
Name one. Specifically. I’ll name 10 that we’ve lost on flukes.**

Remember Les Henson's full-court heave to beat FSU in BB back in the 70s?
