killing us behind the plate. I am not sure if it is 1) injury 2) unwillingness 3) inability or 4) lack of situational awareness or some combination thereof. I have seen many times on a pitch with no movement and within the frame of the plate simply drop to the ground. I have never seen her drop to her knees to block a ball. I Have seen her labor to get up from her crouch to retrieve a ball that has gotten past her because of poor technique. Tonight on the play at home, I saw her take at least 2 seconds to respond to the ball getting past her and going to the backstop allowing both runners to advance. To be honest I'm shocked that teams do not have more stolen bases against us. I do know their win % on SB is high. Don't get me wrong. Love Zoe. She does very well. But she HAS to get better. If she's hurt, let her sit the 'Cuse series. I know we are reluctant to use Kylie to catch much because of her injury history (Concussion) but maybe give Bishop a shot. Hell, I bet Mighty Mite can do a heck of a job back there. I don't know what the answer is but if we want to make any kind of run we are going to need better play behind the plate. Awaiting the slings and arrows. I'm sorry guys but somebody had to say it. ** Edited by HokieAllMyLife at 4/24/2026, 9:36:52 PM
