Hammerin Hokies Week 7

Hokies are now 12-10 after their first ACC series win in almost a year.

They are playing at ETSU right now on ESPN+, losing 3-2 in the 4th. Already some questionable baserunning costing the Hokies at least one run.

This weekend Stanford (11-12) comes to town. Would be good to get a sweep, but have to win the series.

God, the microphone for the play by play guy has some kind of short. Lot of reverb in his broadcast.

The strike zone tonight all over the place.

Wise into pitch and two walks in a row on some pitches right across the plate.

Hokies at 6 walks in 5 innings now.

Maybe JC Price gave them our signs.

Statistically speaking this lines-up with every loss we've had the entire season. When our pitching shows up and we keep opponents under 8 runs, we're gonna win. Once we give up that 8th run its game over - we dont have the offense to get into a slugfest with any team in the country.

Not many teams are able to win while giving up 8 runs. The Lady Hokie softball team, maybe, but not many baseball teams.

Correct. There's about 18 teams in D1 with an offense that can withstand pitching and defense that gives up 8+ a game.

We are not one of them.

We are not in the top 100 in scoring offense.

We aren't even top 200.

... we are tied for the 202nd best scoring offense in D1

...

...

... we need a new hitting coach

...and a new new pitching coach apparently. Even if the hitting improved by a run or two, no offense should need 8+ runs a game.

Maybe just a whole new coaching staff?

Won't happen. Not until 2027

Top of the 8th. Bullpen in. Immediately load bases. Ugh.

Only gave up 1 run.

Game 3 tied at 3, going into the top of the 7th

Hokies avoid a walk to start the 8th, still tied at 3 going into the bottom half.

Hokies go down 1-2-3... into the 9th still tied at 3

Hokies survive Stanford challenge on an inning-ending DP; Bottom of the 9th, still tied at 3.

Hokies load the bases with one out, fail to score. Extra baseball.

Least clutch team ever....
