Coach Pete's "Kiss of Death"
Coach Pete, in Roanoke Times article was quoted to say, "We (VT) can play with anyone." Too soon to say that, the last few years we have not been good in late May and June when it mattered. And now Clemson beat us. Sorry Pete you spoke too soon.

You still believe in this awful take?

Won't know until end of May/June. In or Out of Play-offs? Better than CLEM

Well, last night certainly didn't negate his assertion. That was, . ..
at worst, a tossup game.

I think Pete is a really good coach and consistent top 25, not elite.

I didn't realize Clemson was that bad, the sky must be falling.
I see a coach confident in his team and trying to instill confidence while keeping them grounded all the same. Being good is a fine line between being too cocky and be really good.

I’m glad you said that
Now you can take the heat. (Sorry). However, this is inherent with all VT sports. We just can’t handle success.

You’re right…we just couldn’t handle being 31-4, the best start in school

We are 31-5 and 6-0 on the road vs SEC teams. I think Pete is right

They practically gave it away along with a quiet offense
Can't strategize against stellar defensive plays.

Bats had an off-night. Give your opponent the praise they deserve for
being D1 athletes and playing a good game. We've had 31 good games vs 5 not as good at the time and yet we still could have won last night with one or two swings of the bat at the opportune time.

Yeah Clemson had an ELITE defensive night
They made easy grounders look easy and not so easy ones look easy too Plus the laid out catch that stole 2 runs. That’s a 2 run RBI hit vs 95% of college outfielders

Maybe the grip tape is wound too tight on his head?

VT can play with anyone. Go back to last year and they steam roll Belmont
who has one of the best pitchers in the country and then give Alabama all they want. They can and have played with pretty much everyone they have stepped on the field with. Last night was disappointing no doubt but win the next 2 and noone bats an eye at it.

Speechless. Absolutely no words to respond to this.

Repeat after me: it’s one game. It’s softball. Not football
Oklahoma lost to Long Beach St. losses happen Again…Clemson beat UGA 10-1; they beat SC 8-0 MS St 3-0 Combined, VT and Clemson have 9 wins vs SEC teams. We CAN beat anybody. We also can lose to any team in the top 50-75 on a given day
