Just in case you hadn't heard, the freshman Hoo pitcher last night . . .
didn't get the strike calls on the pitches on the outside corner. :-) Not sure Hoo that announcer was last night, but I don't think that she could have possibly been any more of a UVa homer. After about the 50th time that she mentioned that the poor little Hoo pitcher couldn't get the call, I wanted to throw something at my TV. ** Edited by HokieKip at 5/8/2026, 8:11:02 AM

Jennie Dalton Hill. Played for Arizona.
Lives in Kentucky. Not a UVA homer but they all went out of their way to heap praise on UVA, I suppose because UVA hosted the tournament. She was national player of the year in her day and is very involved in softball. She coached a travel team from KY that my daughter played against back in 2011+/- (years get fuzzy).

Good announcers should strive to be neutral particularly in a conference
tournament.

Hill also commented that hoo players and hokie players don’t much like each
Other. How could she possibly know that?

I don't hate Dalton-Hill but she just talks too much. One of the faults . .
. . . or many 'semi-pro' color people is their perceived need to fill every second of air-time forgetting it's television and everyone sees the same thing they do.

Diarrhea of the mouth and they get paid for it. Remedy is the mute button

Same here. The not so subtle digs got old really quickly

I almost always mute the game. Why listen? It only irritates.

I always replace the network audio with the streaming VT radio broadcast
for football and both basketball teams. Sure wish we had that option for softball.
