I watched a YouTube where some softball female journalist gave her top 20
Pitchers. No Hokies were mentioned, even Tincher. One pitcher went 52-0.

It would be interesting to see who it was.

Found it. Her name is Michella Chester. She looks all of 25 so she could not have been around to have watched many pitchers. She pi ked top 11. Several people took her to task for not including Angela.

She still holds NCAA Division II all-time records with 168 victories, 1,240.7 innings pitched, 159 complete games and 100 shutouts. Additionally, Erb now ranks second across all NCAA divisions in career victories and career shutouts behind only Monica Abbott of Tennessee. No list without AT is credible.

Tincher is top 15 if not top 10 pitcher of all time.

No doubt she’s top 5-10 at worst

maybe even Top 3 all time. Without seeing how the journalist set the criteria it is difficult to formulate a valid response, aside from saying that her omission from the Top 20 raises a question as to whether the list has any validity at all and whether the person could be considered knowledgeable about softball. Calling her a journalist might be a stretch as well.

... her list is worth less than the paper needed to print it.

was not about the validity of the list, it was about the response to contest. You are right about it's worth regardless of the criteria.
