No more hammers until they show they deserve it. 2-2 week. 15-15 overall. Treading water. Zero consistency.

"They are favored to lose..."? I mean I get it, but...what?
Deeply frustrated with baseball if you cant tell. Happy to let someone else build the post.
Coaches are not happy. They think the players are soft. I think the Coaches are bad. Could be a mix of both
Tough to diagnose nowadays. Pre-NIL I would say it's the coaches' job to toughen the players up. Now I expect more out of the kids since a lot of them are technically pros. Not sure how our baseball NIL is though
Hokies up 3-1 Botton 1st
And here comes the dreadful pitching
...and just like that trailing 7-3
Welp another 8+ runs from the pitching staff...
Trailing 10-4
11-4
...and final
Wow, our pitching needs an overhaul.
Only silver lining #13 UVA lost to JMU tonight
I mean this staff can't stay after this season right?
Probably depends on where they finish overall. I bet if they are close to .500 Szefc stays unfortunately especially if we dont have money for basketball. Baseball is further down the cash totem pole.
His contract is up next year. After next season. I don't see whit doing anything until then
So he will be another lame duck coach.
4-2 Hokies going to the bottom of the 4th
Bring in the bullpen in bottom of the 6th. Crowl walks first batter then gives up a 2 run home run. 5-4 hokies
6-4 hokies
Blow the 6-4 lead in bottom of the 9th.
6-6 now runners on 1st/2nd 1 out
2 outs. 2nd/3rd
Survive to go to the 10th
Lead 7-6 in bottom of 10th. 1 out
Blow the lead again. 7-7 2 outs runner on 1st
Stole 2nd
Onto the 11th
8-7 Hokies in top of 11th
Lutterman RBI triple
9-7
Daniel RBI single
This baseball game is drunk
9-8
Two outs
No baserunners
Hokies win. Beat BC which Wahoos couldn't do last weekend
Well. Uva won the Sunday game against BC 3-1
4-4 in Bottom 4th
Trail 5-4 now in 6th
5-5 in the 7th
Grim and Yagesh struggling with control in 7th. Three singles and 2 HBP.
Trail 7-5
Sac Fly makes it 8-5
About right. ERA ~8; BC scores 8. Matches.
Yeah really ridiculous how few times we have kept teams Sub 8 runs
Another thing that frustrates the hell out if me is how often we have runners on 1st and 3rd and do not steal 2nd base leaving potential for double play or force at 2nd
8-7 now in top of the 9th
...and we lose by strike em out, pick him off double play with Cooke getting picked off 3rd.
Had 1st and 3rd with no outs and failed to score the tying run. Absolutely embarrassing.
Down 4-0 in 3rd
6-1 now in 4th
6-2 in the 5th
Lost 6-2
I'll be honest - I completely forgot we had a baseball team the last 2 weeks. It appears I missed nothing. VT needed to sweep BC to have any kind of hope of an at-large. Now the only foreseeable way into the postseason is to win the ACCT, and that's not gonna happen. Not with this pitching staff.
Baseball pitched their 5th no hitter in history. Against radford. Hokies won 14-0
Well I didn't have pitching a no hitter on my bingo card for this pitching crew.
Agreed. But it's cool. First time in 26 years
